Folks over at the Pwn Dev Team have released the first beta version of Ac1dSn0w which is available for Mac OS X users only.

You can check Pwn Dev Team official website to know more about Ac1dSn0w jailbreak tool.

Update:
MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team advised iOS jailbreakers to STAY AWAY from this tool as it contains copyright Apple code.

Unfortunately they achieve this by directly embedding Apple code in their program (15 times!). That’s the kind of copyright infringement we stay away from. Hosting this app can lead to DMCA takedowns, etc. (Anyhow, redsn0w doesn’t need the IPSW for each tethered boot either..it fetches the images from Apple’s servers once and then caches them.).

Untethered Jailbreak iOS 4.3.1 on iPhone 4 / 3GS, iPod Touch 4G / 3G, and iPad 1 Using PwnageTool 4.3 for Mac OS X [Step-By-Step Guide]

The iPhone Dev Team has updated both their Redsn0w (for Windows and Mac OS X) and PwnageTool (exclusive for Mac OS X) to enable iOS jailbreakers to jailbreak the recently released iOS 4.3.1 on iPhone 4 (GSM model), iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 4G, iPod Touch 3G, iPad 1, and AppleTV 2G. Unfortunately, there’s no jailbreak support for iPad 2 at the moment.

Both Redsn0w 0.9.6 RC9 and PwnageTool 4.3 both utilize an exploit discovered by Stefan Esser, a German iPhone hacker and iOS security specialist and the main man behind the antid0te framework, to untethered jailbreak the iOS 4.3.1.

If you are an iPhone unlocker who depend on Ultrasn0w unlock, you have to wait a little as the iPhone Dev Team still working on to fix the Utrasn0w and some bugs between iOS 4.3.1 and the older basebands required for carrier unlock. If you don’t care about unlocking your iPhone form its contracted mobile phone carrier, then it is recommended to use Redsn0w 0.9.6 RC9 as it features a very easy jailbreak method. So if you are an iPhone unlocker, then you can jailbreak your iOS using PwnageTool 4.3 for Mac OS X. You can follow our step-by-step guide posted below to successfully jailbreak your iPhone (as well as other iOS devices) running on iOS 4.3.

Note: Ultrasn0w1.2 Is still broken, but once it got fixed it will be able to unlock iPhone with old baseband version (01.59.00 / 04.26.08 / 05.11.07 / 05.12.01 / 05.13.04 / 06.15.00).

How to Untethered iOS 4.3.1 Jailbreak on iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch Using PwnageTool 4.3

Step 1:
Launch PwnageTool 4.3 and click on “Expert mode” and then select your iOS device:

Step 2:
Browse for iOS 4.3.1 firmware for your iOS device.

Step 3:
Then select “Build” to start creating custom 4.3.1 ipsw / firmware file

Step 4:
PwnageTool 4.3 will now start creating custom .ipsw file for your iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad, iPod Touch 4G, or iPod Touch 3G which will be jailbroken.

Step 5:
Now, you have to put your iOS device into DFU mode by following the on-screen instruction:
• Hold Power and Home buttons for 10 seconds
• Now release the Power button but continue holding the Home button for 10 more seconds
• You device should now be in DFU mode

Step 6:
When done, PwnageTool will tell you to go and restore in iTunes. Launch your iTunes (it will recognize a device in recovery mode), Click OK to continue. Hold the “Alt/Option” key and click “Restore” at the same time to restore your custom firmware. DO NOT click “Restore” without holding the “Alt/Option” key! A dialog box will pop up and you’ll be able to choose the custom IPSW file you created.

Step 7:
iTunes will restore your iPhone using the customized iOS 4.3.1 firmware. Once done, the app will automatically reboot your iPhone.

New iPhone App Improves Eyesight

There is a new iPhone app coming out that could actually reduce the amount of time that you need to wear glasses or contact lenses. This new app is called GlassesOff and it is being developed by Ucansi and is expected to be released in the next couple of weeks. The GlassesOff app has been found to improve eyesight in people of 50 to that of a 40 years old and this was after just 40 sessions of using the app. Sounds pretty great doesn’t it? Studies have also shown that this app can help people to read sentences more quickly.

When you purchase this app and use it you will get a grey screen with a white circle and then images at random places on the screen. These images can be blank or have blurred lines or patterns on them and what you have to do is pick out the specific gabor patches that pop up where the white circle is. What happens is that eye muscle gets a workout which helps to keep the eye young and healthy.

If this sounds like something you would like to try out then be warned, it is going to retail at £60 for three months when it hits the app stores. Seems pretty pricey but if it really does do what it says it will work out cheaper than laser eye surgery. It is going to be available in the App Store later this year and if it does well I’m sure we will see some other developers producing similar apps that will be available in the Cydia store.

Untethered Jailbreak For iOS 5 Now Works On iOS 5.0.1

This was tested using a third generation iPod Touch running iOS 5.0 and he wasn’t sure if it would work on the new iOS 5.0.1 as well. He did say however that he would test it on iOS 5.0.1 and report back with his results.

Well the wait is over and we can confirm that after testing the exploit on his iPhone 4 running the latest iOS 5.0.1 firmware, he has confirmed via Twitter that it is working. This ultimately means that you can now update your iOS device to iOS 5.0.1 and still jailbreak it. If you are an iPhone owner who relies on Ultrasn0w for your unlock you are advised against upgrading to preserve your old baseband. Here’s what Pod2g has to say on his twitter account: Got an untethered iPhone 4 running iOS 5.0.1. Feel free to update.

This is great news for anyone who accidentally updated to iOS 5.0.1 only to find that they were locked out on the new firmware with no way to downgrade to iOS 5.0. It is important to note that so far the exploit has only been confirmed working on A4 based devices and below like the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 4G and 3G, Apple TV and the first generation iPad. There has been no confirmation as yet as to whether this will work on A5 based devices such as the new iPhone 4S or the iPad 2.

Currently there is only a semi-tethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 and you can choose from either Redsn0w, Ac1dsn0w or Sn0wbreeze. If this new jailbreak works untethered then this really is great news.
