ZiPhone 2.5... WoW !!!!!!!

Photo by Steph M.

ZiPhone 2.5 is now on download site for
you all to enjoy.
I decided to release it for everyone since MANY
are helping supporting sponsors.
And it would not have been fair to them.
I suggest you to do a restore to 1.1.4
not an update. Because installer keeps old
installed apps in it's cache and you would have problems.
Hoping people at nullriver software resolve that soon.
After restore to 1.1.4, just use "ziphone -Z Y" or the first
button on GUI versions.

Have fun !
And thanks to everyone for supporting and caring!

Stay tuned ! More interesting things are coming up on this site!

Namaste!

DO NOT UPGRADE


DO NOT UPGRADE TO 1.1.4
ZiPhone will soon work with 1.1.4.

But I need to FULLY test it and
do a few
adjustments.

In the meanwhile, enjoy the KEY :)

Stay tuned.


People who donated will receive the next version a day before everyone else.

Expect a new version in 2 days (3 days for non-donors) :P

ZiPhone IS and will always be FREE.
NOTE: If you have a contract and activation
you can ALREADY use ziphone to jailbreak
and install applications on 1.1.4 !

While you wait...


While you wait, let me entertain you
with something particular...
This short movie has been written and directed
by Andrea Saraceni, a very talented
italian scriptwriter and director.
I liked that from the first time I saw it (years ago).
I hope you will enjoy it as I do.

I can almost TOUCH it...

As I stated many times, ZiPhone was not even intended for
the iTouch. But you know...they are so similar...
The "problem" with 1.1.3 iTouch is that the bootloader
is a little different. Yesterday I had the time to disassemble it.
20 minutes later I found exactly what I expected and where I expected it to be.
Allow me some more tests to make you totally safe.
And expect news soon.
Update:
maybe I was too tired.. nothing seems proving it doesn't work.
So I took some of the donated money and ordered a 32gb Touch.
It will be here in a few days...
I'll keep you posted as usual..

Stay tuned!
Namaste,

And I swear I will do no harm...

Some facts:


  • ZiPhone never bricked an iPhone not even during first personal tests.

  • ZiPhone actually repaired many previously bricked iPhones.

  • 99% of "bugs" I have been reported are for the same reason.

  • ZiPhone never touches internal security data. -i option just fakes them.

You can restore the phone to "refurbished" state just issuing:
ziphone -e

then ziphone -D and do a full restore to any os. (thieves, you are warned!)


Some common mistakes:

iTunes should not be killed. ZiPhone is against violence :)
and just ignores it and it's helper.

OSX users often have vmware running.
ZiPhone and iTunes must run on the same OS.
When doing a full restore with -D option, set
the phone as a new phone in iTunes and sync back
your data. That's the most common mistake.
The reason: data backed up from previous
jailbroken iPhones is wrong for a real 1.1.3 OS.
When you open Installer for the first time,
refresh sources, then install BSD Subsystem
from the System category before installing anything else !
About the "low space issue", there is a utility
you can find in Installer that can move the
application directory to the second iPhone
partition thus allowing you to have has many
application your brain could bear :)
If you want to have the Z icon back after deleting,
there is a 'secret' option that restores only the icon
hint: it was meant for test)
The options of ZiPhone are case sensitive! I did that
on purpose to allow people to focus before issuing
commands and read the usage.

Enough said for now,
Namaste!
Zibri.

...and enjoy my coffee :)

ZiPhone 2.2


Please accept my apologies.
A stupid bug in 2.1 didn't allow my "Z" icon to be deleted
and caused some minor problems.
A stupid typo.
In the download frame you now have ZiPhone 2.2.
Nothing changed. Bug removed.
And now some rest.. then back for new features shortly
in the next days..
Thanks to joserg for the picture!
Note:
ZiPhone never bricked a phone so far.
IPSF or 'freeipsf' users can't upgrade to 4.03.. because isf method corrupts
the baseband (and apple checked that in 4.03).
You can still use ziphone -u option.
Yesterday I was very tired and just put the wrong windows exe in the archive.

ZiPhone 2.1 is here to serve...


Here we are with ZiPhone 2.1.
Corrected the "apple logo bug".

Added integrity check on zibri.dat.
Added 2 .BAT files for windows newbies :)
Updated README.txt
OSX versions updated.
Enjoy.

ZiPhone 2.0 !!! (game over!)

ZiPhone v2.0 is finally OUT.
In the command line version, you will find a new
option "-b" be very careful with that!
I take no responsability if you brick your phone!
ZiPhone -b will downgrade bootloader from 4.6 to 3.9,
flash 4.03.13_G baseband version and
unlock it (in one shot!).
It worked for me on 2 ootb 1.1.2 phones.
It will work on 1.1.3 ootb phones too.
Other options are unchanged.
Do not forget to donate!
The future of ZiPhone will depend on you also !
If you can't code, or contribute in other ways,
just donate.
I think we won't need another version till the next firmware release :)
Namaste!
Peace out.
(To quote my favourite blogger)

Important:
For people who get stuck on apple logo.
Try to use: ZiPhone -v -b
That solved the problem for many people.

ZiPhone 1.2 is OUT !!!

New feature:

It now unlocks both 4.6 and 3.9 BL.
And it's autosensing.. just use -u !

You can now delete any version of anySIM :)

Download links are on the right.

P.S.
I was tired to wait.
I fixed it.

Prepare for ZiPhone 2.0.

It will be out VERY SOON !

ZiPhone works on iTouch too !

Enjoy :)

Bugs?!


Well i did this test:

1) entered DFU (black screen) mode.
2) fully restored to 1.1.3.
3) shutdown the phone and reboot.
4) run: ziphone -a -j -u from command line (latest archive)

The phone rebooted after 2 minutes.
Everything is ok.
Youtube works.

Then:
1) open installer.
2) update community sources.
3) goto System category and install BSD Subsystem.
4) in System category install openssh as well.

My pc is running windows XP sp2 with all patches.
Itunes 7.5 (completely uninstall itunes 7.6 http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698 ) then install 7.5 (i think 7.4.3 will work too)

And of course the latest archive of ziphone.
Unzip it in a directory.
Then
1) open command prompt
2) cd to that directory
3) ziphone -a -j -u

Do not close itunes after restore.
Do not touch it's window.
Just wait 2 minutes.

Note:
When a new version of ZiPhone comes out,
delete the old version (the whole directory)
And use the new archive.
ZiPhone and zibri.dat must be of the same archive.

martedì 12 febbraio 2008

ZiPhone 1.1 OUT. (mac version too !) (link fixed)

New features:

no more need for recovery mode!
no more "difficult" things :)
just run ziphone and it will do everything for you :)

NEW ARCHIVE

SOURCE

EXECUTABLE for OSX 10.4 (put in the same dir where you extracted the main archive above)

Actual program requirements for windows:

I use itunes 7.5 and a directory with the archive linked above for the tests.
I never had a problem and tested all options.

Since you reported some problems, I am now restoring a phone to 113 and launching ziphone -a -j -u ...

By the way, after restore the phone must be shutdown and rebooted before running ziphone (maybe you missed this step)

I'll keep you posted.

New Update ! (fixed)

OSX version fixed. (Thanks to pendor)

WINDOWS GUI: added (thanks to mlk)

ZiPhone Updated !

ZiPhone has been updated.

Version is still 1.0 (beta)..

OSX version is BACK !
(You will have to use the included MobileDevice.framework on some osx versions)

Source code available at: http://www.iphone-elite.org/

Usage: ziphone [-u] [-a] [-j] [-i imei]

ZiPhone !


Redownload file. NEW OPTION to ierase 3.9 bl basebands!
(This time i removed osx version because it still doesn't work)
Well.. I think that's enough testing... here you have ZiPhone !
It's by far the most simple program to setup your iPhone.
Just run it and you will see it.
Windows + OSX versions !
The source IS available at
and
The latest version of ZiPhone is always available at:

Details on how it works and WHY it works, will be released on the above site or wiki.
No 'dev-team' was directly involved with this work.
This program is based on the work of everyone who
believed in free software. (Thanks for the toolchain!)
Thanks to geohot for his latest work.
Thanks to Tissy for moral support.
Thanks to iphone-elite.org for support.
Thanks to Viper and Tifel and ortner for being so nice always.
Thanks to iRev for the picture above and to Mel Brooks for
producing and directing such a funny movie.
And thanks to iphoneelite.com for giving me so many laughs too :)
Namaste,
Zibri.
P.S.
As a side-effect, using this tool will revive many 'dead' basebands.
Just use the unlock option.
FOR PEOPLE with NO IMEI, NO WIFI, NO BASEBAND (4.6BL):
boot the phone in recovery mode.
then run: ziphone -u

venerdì 8 febbraio 2008

4.03 R.I.P.

OFFSET: A0238150: 02 00 00 1a >> 00 00 A0 e1

To geohot: i need your help dude...
To make this patch work we gotta downgrade the bootloader or
disable integrity checks.
Or this patch won't work on BL4.6 :(
Come on ! Let's cooperate !
You are cordially invited on #iphone-dev on irc.iphone-elite.org

Скінчилось!

Скидаймо капелюхи перед George Hotz !
Ти це зробив !
До біса dev team.
До біса жадібних членоголових!
Що сказати? Я дуже щасливий за всю спільноту IPhone!
До речі, я не знаю хто підписується моїм ім'ям в блозі geohot.
Це не я.
(може aCujo, чи якийсь членоголовий як він)

Дозвольте представити...


Добре.. Я дав їм шанс. Але вони не перестали писати лайно..
(я навіть не розумію китайську, єдиних китайців яких я знаю - власники ресторанів!)
Що ж.. для всіх.. почнемо з першою частиною JerrySim!
Щасти вам :)
І, будь-ласка, не вірте в то лайно, яке вони будуть писати..
Майте на увазі: вони відкрили сайт сьогодні (після місяця, як вони протестили це) тільки для того, щоб врятувати свої бридкі пики.
Що зараз? Вони скажуть, що я працюю з терористами?!
Живіть в реальному житті, dev team, вам всім це потрібно!

Істина десь поруч

Я вже задовбався слухати лайно.
Що сказати після прочитанного "внутрішнього" документа від "dev team".
Прочитайте уважно та ВИВЧИТЕ як вони це роблять.
І вони до сих пір називають це співпрацею... прикол!
Ось їх клоуни: aCujo, sunnyDlite та інші "фанатики".
Вони пишуть таке:

[17:41] -aCujo- Я перевтілився в Zibri
[17:41] -aCujo- хочу зробити його репутацію поганою... ґґ
[17:44] -aCujo- ви чуваки повинні були бачити те лайно, яке я писав на tux-irc під Zibri
[17:45] -aCujo- і я не пишу "Я" з великої літери, щоб зробити себе великим.
Ну все, досить вже з цими дітьми
У вас є документ.
Датований місяць тому.
Тепер спробуйте забути все це лайно на насолоджуватись справжнім життям!

Коти-миші


Так, Apple та IPhone-хакери схожі на цих персонажів.
Я ніколи не бачив, як Джеррі просить фінансової допомоги або затримує "експлоіт" з причини його неготовності.
Єдиний вихід, щоб бути на крок попереду - відкрити співпрацювати.
Тож, якщи ви думаєте, що можете що-небудь, приходьте на наші канали: #iphone та #iphone-dev на сервері
IRC.IPHONE-ELITE.ORG
І будь-ласка, перестаньте питати як розблокувати, почніть вивчати IPhone.
До речі, GRAY успішно понизили бутлоадер 4.6 МІСЯЦЬ ТОМУ.
Вони назвали цей екслоіт Джеррі, але ніхто не бачив цей сир =)
Прикро казати, але в грі коти-миші, кіт поки що виграє. Чому? Тому що тільки маштабна співпраця може змінити це!
Якщо б мені довелось обирати "команду", я б обрав команду Тома.
Це дійсно професіонали, яки тяжко та швидко працюють і створили апарат, який ми так любимо.
І вони досить коректні, коли просять за свій товар гроші, а не фінансової допомоги =)

Для тих, кто трохи божевільний...

Це версія anySIM 1.3
Ця версія розблоковує модем 4.03_13_g
Діє тільки для bootloader 3.9, не використовуйте це на 4.6
Щоб користуватись цим, проапґрейте модем, потім увімкніть "режим польоту" на телефоні та запустіть програму!
Це також працює на джейлбрейкнутих 1.1.3.

Це для довбанутих, людей які завжди шукають пригоди на свою дупу, для тих, хто квадратні шурупи засовує в круглі отвори, для тих хто дивиться по іншому. Ви можете копнути їх, не погоджуватись з ними, плювати їм в обличчя. Але ви не можете їх ігнорувати, тому що вони змінюють все довколо. Вони просувають людську расу. Ви в них можете бачити придурків, а ми в них бачимо геніїв!

iPhone-Elite

Декілька слів про команду iPhone-Elite:
Одного дня, я, viper, tifel і ortner вирішили створити цю спільноту.
Наша задача: зібрати людей, які розбираються в IPhone, щоб зробити наші телефони кращими.
Багато людей нам пропонували допомогу.
Багато продвинутих людей приєднались до наших каналів та форумів.
Люди як: bgm, Fred_, chris, Turbo були першими, які приєднались.
Потім були запропоновані нам сервіси, як irc-боти (billyboy), irc-сервери (acujo) та інші.
Потім почались проблеми: люди типу acujo та billyboy почали гратись в богів на irc-каналах.
У нас було терпіння.. Але це перейшло всі межі.
Тож ми почали з початку.
Сподіваючись знайти кращих людей та створити гарну спільноту.

Довідковий сайт: http://www.iphone-elite.org/
Зверніть увагу: .COM - це підробка. Справжня адреса сайту IPHONE-ELITE сама така, яка вказана вище.
IRC channel #iphone-dev on irc.iphone-elite.org
Без скиглення, більше позитива :)

Добрі новини...

Гарні новини для маленької групки мазохістів, які читають цей блоґ!
Як ви вже представили з минулих дописів (починаючи з находження ключа) ми взяли під контроль увесь IPhone!
Тепер черга за модемом (baseband).
Над цим працюють багато людей.
Так що приготуйте свої телефони!
