Wolfenstein on iPhone

Posted in: Apple, Mobile Software | March 29th, 2009

Wolfenstein on the iPhone

Yes you heard me, Wolfenstein on your iPhone now available.
Oh I remember the times, when I used to stay on this low graphics stupid game, hours and hours. Unfortunately now you can do it on your phone.
Of course the phone must be jailbroken, but it is a small sacrifice compared with the hours you can play without eating, doing your job or meeting with friends for a beer.

Download the game here.

Doom - you’re next.

How to downgrade from iPhone OS 3.0 to Os 2.0

Posted in: Apple, Mobile Software | March 27th, 2009

Here is a nice and easy tutorial to downgrade you iPhone OS 3.0 to OS 2.0

Step 1) Shut off your iPhone and then enter DFU mode. Instructions here.

Step 2) Restore your iPhone in iTunes to v2.2.1, 2.2, or such. Remember you will need to hold shift and click restore in Windows, Option-restore in OSX. If you need to locate the firmware to download, look here. If you need help on how to restore in iTunes read this guide.

Step 3) Your restore will get an error message. It should be one of these: 1011, 1013, 1015. If you get something less than 100, you did not enter DFU mode correctly and need to retry from step #1 of this guide. If you get 160x something else went wrong. The 1011, 1013, 1015 type error codes will be a failure to write the baseband and will be expected. After this, your iPhone will remain in recovery mode. Note: on 2g iPhone you probably should not get a restore error since the 2g baseband is not updated by the 3.0 update so there is no reason for the baseband update to fail.

Step 4) Windows Load quickpwn for Windows and select your device and run through the first 3 or so prompts until your iPhone resets.

Step 5) OSX:
iRecovery is a command line tool that requires you to install a library. For this, you are required to understand how to use the terminal. These instructions are *very clear* if you understand the terminal and shell commands. If you do not, this is not for you. Find a windows computer or someone that can help you. Teaching how to use the OSX term is way beyond the scope of this guide.

Download and extract iRecovery. This is a console app to be run in terminal. Extract it with finder.
Copy libusb-0.1.4.dylib to /usr/local/lib and chmod both iRecovery and the dylib to 755 using chmod 755 /usr/local/lib/libusb-0.1.4.dylib and chmod 755 iRecovery.
In terminal, run iRecovery -s
At the iRecovery prompt, type: fsboot
Wait, iPhone should boot. If not, type fsboot a second time.
ctrl-c or close the term. You are done with iRecovery.

Here is a more detailed set of instructions by Max:

Download iRecovery
Place both files on the Desktop
Open terminal and type cd ~/Desktop
Run command chmod 777 libusb-0.1.4.dylib
Run command chmod 777 iRecovery
Run command defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
Run command killall Finder
Navigate Macintosh HD > usr > local > lib
Copy the file libusb-0.1.4.dylib into that folder
Open a new terminal
Drag-and-drop the iRecovery file into the Terminal so that you get a shortcut to it.
Append -s to the end.
Run command fsboot (i had to do it twice)
If the phone starts up locket once again, just run through steps 10-13 again.
When done, open terminal again and type defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
Then run killall Finder once again and your done!

Step 6) Run through the quickpwn guides for your operating system. Depending on which OS you have, you will need to click next a few times and your iPhone should be reset. At this point, you should continue through quickpwn to finish the jailbreak of your iPhone.”
