Apple lets ANYONE become a developer..FOR FREE!!!!

This is something I have been hoping for for a long, long time. Apple has finally made it free to become a registered dev, and have access to all tools, and beta versions of software. Which means even to the standard user, you will be able to preview iOS 8, and future versions of OSX before their public release!!! I personally upgraded to OSX 10.9.3 last night. No real noticeable changes, but my battery life does seem to be improved. Check it out here-https://developer.apple.com

iOS 7.1.1 Released...Still No Public Tool for Jailbreaking A5+

Apple recently released iOS 7.1.1. There is still no public jailbreak tool for this on A5+ devices. You can use Opensn0w to jailbreak the iPhone 4, but that takes quite a bit of know-how, and it will still be tethered. On a good note, battery life is significantly improved with this version. SO, if you are on 7.1, you may as well upgrade. As always, stay away from OTA upgrades for future jailbreak options, upgrade via iTunes on your computer.

Instructions for flashing an iPhone 5, 5(c), or 5(s) to Page Plus

You will need to be on iOS version 7.0.6 or an earlier version of iOS 7 to be able to do this, because a jailbreak is required, and there is no public tool for jailbreaking iOS 7.1 or 7.1.1 on the A5 (iPhone 4(s)) or later models. First, you will need to jailbreak your device. Then, add this source-cydia.myrepospace.com/wirelessworkshop
Install the commcenter patch for iOS 7. Reboot. Then, add the source cydia.xsellize.com, and then install iFile. Navigate in iFile to the carrier bundles. They are located in this path../System/Library/Carrier Bundles/iPhone. Then, if your phone is Verizon, rename the Verizon_LTE_US.bundle to Verizon_LTE_US.bundle.bak and rename the Tracfone bundle to Verizon_LTE_US.bundle. Reboot. Dial *22890 to activate your iPhone on Page Plus. If you can’t dial *22890, swap your SIM. By this, I mean take your SIM out, and put a Sprint. AT&T..etc..SIM in, and let it recognize the SIM, then put yours back in. Note:This applies ONLY if you have activated your MEID with Page Plus. The same method works with Sprint iPhones, just rename the Sprint_LTE_US bundle to Sprint_CSIM_LTE_US.bak, and the Tracfone bundle to Sprint_CSIM_LTE_US. If data doesn’t work, try renaming the Sprint bundle to the verizon LTE bundle and dialing *22890 before renaming it to the tracfone bundle, then dial *22890 again.  Please note that there have been mixed results with this method. Approximately 50% of the phones that I’ve flashed the data and MMS didn’t work on, only talk and text. I haven’t figured out why, but even at that, if you have a Sprint bad ESN iPhone 5 or 5c or 5s, it’s definitely worth doing. Good luck.

iCloud Lock Bypass For iPhone 4

Here it is. I know that there are a LOT of people out there with an iPhone 4 that is iCloud locked...well here's your solution. Please note that this is for the iPhone 4 ONLY. Not the iPhone 4(s), not the iPhone 5, not the iPhone 5(c), and not the iPhone 5(s). THIS IS FOR THE iPHONE 4 ONLY!!! You will need a couple of tools before you do this. Also, your iPhone will NOT get a signal. You will be left with an iPod, but at least you'll have SOMETHING!!! Please be aware that this takes a little know-how, and isn't recommended for people with novice-level computer skills. If you aren't tech-saavy, let that friend that is do this. So...if you're using Windows, you'll need to make sure that you have Java 32 bit installed, along with the 32 bit version of Java Development Kit. It is PARAMOUNT that you get the 32 bit version...NOT the 64 bit version. You will also need .NET Framework installed. iTunes and Tiny Umbrella must be installed as well. Finally, you will also need WinSCP and the ssh.rd tool from here...https://github.com/msftguy/ssh-rd If you have a Mac, you will need to install Java, CyberDuck, RecBoot and the ssh.rd tool. Let's begin.
1. Plug your iPhone in.
2. Put your iPhone 4 in DFU mode. to do this, you need to power your iPhone 4 off. Then you will put it into DFU mode by following this button sequence.
 a. Hold the power button for 3 seconds
 b. While still holding the power button, begin holding the home button also for 10 seconds.
 c. Release the power button while continuing to hold the home button for 15 seconds.
 d. You are now in DFU mode. The screen will be black, and if you are on a Windows machine, it  
      will install DFU drivers. Make sure that if iTunes opened up, you close it.
Now open the ssh.rd tool. While opening it, make sure to right click and run as an administrator if you are using Windows. It will do it's magic. After it has completed, open WinSCP or CyberDuck, whichever is pertinent to you. Connect to your device by using SFTP as the protocol, username is root, password is alpine, to localhost port 2022. Open the command line in WinSCP or CyberDuck, and type in mount.sh
You will then see mnt1 and mnt2. You will be going in to mnt1. You will go into /Applications.
You now need to delete the setup.app from/Applications. Reboot your iPhone. When you reboot, your iPhone 4 will be in recovery mode. To get it out of recovery, open RecBoot if you are using Mac, or Tiny Umbrella if you are using Windows. Click the exit recovery button, and your device will reboot on it's own, and voila!!!, you now have access to your iPhone 4. Sadly, you will not have cellular service, but at least you can use all the other features!!! Good luck with all this, and may the force be with you!!!
