All aboard the update train!

Post under , , ,
Here are some details on our latest version of PwnageTool for Mac OS X that adds support for the 3.1 release of the iPhone software for iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 2G.
SUMMARY:
The iPhone 3GS is now supported in PwnageTool 3.1.3, assuming the phone was pwned at 3.0 or 3.0.1 - PwnageTool does not support the 3GS out of the box. If your iPhone 3GS has 3.1 preinstalled and is not Pwned then there is no tested jailbreak solution at the moment.
The iPod 2G is now supported in PwnageTool 3.1.3, assuming the iPod 2G was pwned at 3.0 or 3.0.1 - PwnageTool does not support the iPod 2G with 3.1 software out of the box.
DETAILS:
  1. GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a iPhone 3G or iPhone 3G(S) with ultrasn0w and rely on ultrasn0w to obtain cellular service then you should only update your device with an .ipsw that is made with the new PwnageTool. There are no second chances with this. You need to remember that PwnageTool will provide an upgrade path to newer versions of the iPhone software in the future.
  2. Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.
  3. Read items 1, 2 and 3 again and again.
  4. At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the 3.1 capable version of PwnageTool.
  5. PwnageTool will work for the iPhone 3GS assuming you have already Pwned it at 3.0 or 3.0.1
  6. PwnageTool will work for the iPod touch 2G assuming you have already Pwned it at 3.0 or 3.0.1
  7. PwnageTool WILL work for Original iPhone (1st Generation), the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G(S) and the iPod touch (1st Generation and 2nd Generation) but NOT the iPod touch 3rd generation.
  8. For 3G and 3G(S) users who are Pwned, PwnageTool is your key to updating in the future, just remember to never install an update directly from Apple, always use an .ipsw that has been created with PwnageTool.
  9. There is no Windows version of PwnageTool it is a Mac OS X tool only, we are not developing a Windows version of PwnageTool.
What’s a Baseband?
The ‘baseband’ is the generic nickname given to the internal components of the iPhone that handle the phone calls and Internet access. This ‘baseband’ is a tiny and unique independent computer system that runs inside your iPhone, it is separate to the main system that handles the applications (such as email and google maps) and it talks to the main part of the phone over an internal communications network.
Think of it like a cable modem or other peripheral that is attached to your home PC that needs occasional updates. When a software update is released and presented to you within iTunes the baseband is sometimes updated (to fix bugs or add new features).
The 3.1 update for the iPhone 3G and 3GS contains such an update, so running the vanilla updater straight away with iTunes will reprogram and update the baseband.
WHICH DEVICE DO I HAVE?
Read the description to identify your device, once you have correctly identified your device follow the specific instructions for that device as listed below.
SIM Free/SP Unlocked/Factory Unlocked iPhone 3G(S)
This applies if you bought your iPhone 3G(S) for $$$$$$$. This model of iPhone 3G(S) doesn’t have an Service Provider lock (aka factory unlocked) and you are able to put any SIM card into the phone and get service. Your phone is already unlocked so you do not need to worry about baseband updates, if your device was Pwned at 3.0 or 3.0.1 then you can use PwnageTool to create an ipsw and then use this to update and jailbreak your phone.

iPhone 2G (1st Generation)
Use PwnageTool to do the magic and then restore with iTunes using your newly created .ipsw ‘nuff said, you don’t need to worry about anything, the baseband will be unlocked, the phone jailbroken.
iPod Touch 1G (Original iPod Touch)
Use PwnageTool to create a firmware image and restore with that .ipsw using iTunes.
iPod Touch 2G
Use PwnageTool to create a firmware image and restore with that .ipsw using iTunes, this will only work if you are already Pwned at 3.0 or 3.1. If you are at 3.1, downgrade to 3.0 and use redsn0w to Pwn 3.0 then you have an upgrade path using PwnageTool.
iPod Touch 3G
At this time PwnageTool does not support this device.

Gaming For Lulz: How to install Windows 8 to allow dual-booting.

Post under

id='post-body-5069552117736717044'>








A pre-beta Windows 8 Developer Preview is now available for download on Windows Dev Center


To experience the new (somewhat buggy) release, you must download the .iso and install the OS.


But with a lot of people around the internet a little rusty on formatting, shrinking and setting up a dual-boot system I've put together a little guide some of you should read before plunging into a world of sliding squares.


Firstly, if you only have one main hard drive, you need to make space for the new Windows 8 install by shrinking your current volume and partitioning a clean space for the new files.


Go to Start - Right click 'My Computer' and select Manage - Then select Drive Management from the left hand window - Now you should be presented with your drive setup.



If you have only one hard drive, you should see one main block on the lower window. Some drives have a designated partition called "System Reserve" within the main drive. Don't worry about that, it's used for restoring systems and so on. *LEAVE IT ALONE*


Now right click your primary partition and select Shrink.


After the shrinking calculations are done you're presented with a menu that allows you to select how small or large you want the current drive to be shrank to. Just clicking OK ensures that no files will be lost and a safe amount of space will be set aside.




Now you will notice the main block of your hard drive has been split, with a new unallocated space appearing representing the free space we will use for the new install.
Right click this unallocated space and click Format.
Follow the instructions, making sure the file system is set to NTFS.


Also to make life easier name the new volume to something like "Windows8Dev". This just makes for easier navigation later in life.


After this is done you're ready to install Windows 8.











CDBurnerXP










MagicDisc

After downloading the .iso from here, you either need to burn it to a disc using a freeware .iso burner like CDBurnerXP or mount it to a virtual drive using MagicDISC.
I wont go into detail about the process of burning or mounting image files. Google it.


After mounting or burning the image, you need to browse the disc.


DO NOT AUTORUN THE SETUP - THIS WILL RESULT IN A FRESH COPY OF WINDOWS - WITH THE RISK OF LOSING CURRENT OS AND DATA


Browse the disc and search for the setup application within the sources folder on the disc/image.


WindowsDeveloperPreview/sources/setup.exe


Double click the application and allow it to run, follow the steps, making sure that you select to install a new copy of Windows and select the new partition you made.


After following all steps, and after your computer restarting a couple of times you will now be able to boot into Windows 8 Developer Preview. Simply select Windows 8 from the boot menu that comes up after turning your PC on.



The rest is easy. Just follow the setup instructions on screen.



To boot into your native/first/current operating system, simply select it from the boot menu when your PC starts up.



If you're having problems or don't understand the guide fully, leave a comment and I'll try and help.

Samsung Indulge

Post under , , ,

id='post-body-940148098262584714'>
Across the bottom of the Indulge are chunky physical Android buttons–Menu, Home, Back, and Search. A chrome accent rings around the Indulge, which has a volume rocker on the left, a headphone jack and power button up top, and a covered microUSB port and dedicated camera button on the right. The back cover houses the lens for the 3-megapixel camera and a speaker; underneath the cover resides a 1500mAh battery, SIM card slot (under the battery), and a microSD Card slot. A 4GB card is included, and the Indulge supports cards up to 32GB.
As it’s not a Galaxy S phone, the Indulge doesn’t have a vibrant Super AMOLED display. A high-quality YouTube trailer for the movie Thor looked great during close-ups, but background details got lost in the murky resolution. First, the good news: The Indulge’s keys are large, and they offer decent tactile feedback and a dedicated number row. Metro PCS pre-loads the Samsung Galaxy Indulge with a ton of branded apps. MetroWEB is the standard Android browser branded by Metro PCS. Metro411 is a local business search app, Metro BACKUP stores contacts for $1 a month, and MetroPCS Easy WiFi displays nearby public wireless hotspots. The @Metro App Store contains a list of Metro PCS-specific apps, such as Boingo Mobile Wi-Fi for accessing Boingo public networks, Cellufun Social for social gaming, and Flirtomatic and MocoSpace for mobile dating.
