iPhone 3G iOS 4.1 jailbreaking: redsn0w 0.9.6b1 and Sn0wbreeze 2.0

One OS and two different ways to crack it wide open. That’s what redsn0w and Sn0wbreeze aim to accomplish. For starters, what system do you run at home? redsn0w is Mac-only for the time being while Sn0wbreeze is Windows-only. The former has a Windows version in the works, but the Dev-Team hasn’t announced a release date just yet. Enough chit chat. Let’s get started. redsn0w version (0.9.6b1) allows you to jailbreak your already upgraded iPhone 3G and...

Bad news for rooted Android users: Login credentials stored as plain text.

Bad news for rooted Android users: Login credentials stored as plain text.

So far I haven’t been shown any logical or legitimate reason why someone shouldn’t root their Android device. Everything from custom skins and themes to overclocked speed can be had. Not only that, but rooting your device can allow users to remove bloatware from their phone that otherwise sits there and sucks up precious MB’s.

Epic 4G haz root before it’s even released!

Boy, don’t you love the determination and tenacity of Android developers? The Epic 4G looks to be Sprint’s new too-hot-to-trot Android device. With 4G, a nice display, and a slide-out qwerty that at least looks usable, I see nothing but “win”. Even better than 4G, a comfortable keyboard, and a pretty face is none other than rooting options. Many times, a phone undergoes days, weeks, or even months of shackled existence before developers can...

Apple falls to new low:  Patent filing details ways to wipe/deactivate/disable jailbroken users’ iPhones.

Apple makes some great products. There’s no doubt about that. They’re easily a market leader when it comes to consumer electronics. But they’re far from perfect. The one thing that ruffles the most feathers as of late concerning Apple is that of iDevices and jailbreaking. Those whom are pro-jailbreaking say it opens up Apple’s devices, adds functionality, and provides an overall more enjoyable experience. Those on the other side of the fence,...

Installing Android on your iPhone just got a lot easier: iPhoDroid

Installing Android on your iPhone just got a lot easier: iPhoDroid

You may be wondering who on earth would want to put Android on their iPhone. To tech noobs and non-geeks, I’ll agree it seems rather stupid. On the flip side however, there are plenty of people just like me who want to do it, and do it just because they can. Until now, the process of actually getting Android up and running on your iPhone was a fairly length, involved project reserved for all but the most talented devs. Not anymore thanks to iPhoDroid. The whole...
