Apple recently released iOS 6 (6.0) to the public and, after much debate, I’ve decided to create this tutorial on how to Jailbreak the public version of iOS 6. Initially, I was planning on waiting until the iPhone Dev Team updated Redsn0w before I released a tutorial. However, since they haven’t, and due to the overwhelming number of questions pertaining to this Jailbreak, I decided to slightly revise my iOS 6 Jailbreak tutorial plans.
 
Before it has even been released we now face a Temporary Jailbreak for the iPhone 4, 3Gs & iPod Touch 4G on iOS 6.0 GM Firmware. This Jailbreak however is tethered meaning it is not capable of rebooting on its own without the help of a Program called redsn0w which we are using for this Tutorial. So every time your battery dies or you need to reboot your device please use redsn0w to do that. You will need to download Redsn0w 0.9.13dev 4, Your iOS 6 GM Firmware & WinSCP if you are on windows.


 Step 1: Install iOS 6 on your device. You’ll also need to know the location of the iOS 6 IPSW firmware file. If you’re on a Mac, you can find that in /Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates/ if you didn’t download iOS 6 manually, and updated using iTunes. You can also download iOS 6 from Below . After iOS 6 is installed, hook your device up to your computer, and place it into DFU mode.

Step 2: Download RedSn0w 0.9.13dev4 from below.

Step 3: Run RedSn0w, and click Extras > Select IPSW, then select your iOS 6 firmware file. It should successfully identify your firmware.

Step 4: Click Back, and then click Jailbreak. You should see a dialogue box saying “preparing jailbreak data” followed by a page with several options. Ensure that Install SSH is selected, and click Next.

Step 5: Your iPhone will now proceed through the jailbreak process. You will receive a message acknowledging that this is a tethered jailbreak.

Step 6: Once the jailbreak is completed, and you are back on your Lock screen, place the device back info DFU mode.

Step 7: Click Back, and then click Just boot. A pineapple logo should appear on your device, indicating a tethered boot. Once this complete’s and you are back on your Lock screen, you may close RedSn0w.

Installing Cydia

Step 1: On your  iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi > and click the arrow next to your connected Wi-Fi router. Find your IP address for your Wi-Fi connection. In my example, my IP is 10.1.1.67.

Step 2: On a computer connected to the same Wi-Fi network, open the Terminal app.

Step 3: In terminal type: ssh root@10.0.1.27 (be sure to change the IP address to match your iOS device’s IP)

Step 4: After a few seconds, it should connect, and prompt you for your iOS device’s password. The password is alpine
Step 5: Once connected, paste the following into the terminal:

wget -q -O /tmp/cyinstall.sh http://downloads.kr1sis.net/cyinstall.sh && chmod 755 /tmp/cyinstall.sh && /tmp/cyinstall.sh

Step 6: After a minute or so of scrolling prompts, your iOS device should reboot, and Cydia will be installed. If you get any permission errors on the terminal, just ignore them.

That’s it. You now have a jailbroken iOS 6 device running Cydia.

If you have an iPhone, iPod or iPad and the home button is broken and you are bored with your jailbroken firmware because it is slow and not really flexible to use, we will show you how to re-jailbreak your idevice without using home button by trying our step by step guide here below. Don’t get annoyed over it as the iPhone Dev Team is providing you with a simplest solution of moving into the DFU mode with broken home button. This method uses latest version of Redsn0w 0.9.14b2 which allows you to create a firmware which pushes your iDevice into the DFU mode. Let's check the guide after the jump.

 
Step 1: Download and open RedSn0w 0.9.14b2

Step 2: On RedSn0w’s main window click Extras > Even more > DFU IPSW, and click OK on the pop-up dialogue.

Step 3: Browse for a valid signable IPSW file from Apple. For instance, if you have an iPhone 4, you want to select the iOS 5.1.1 firmware, since that’s the only firmware that Apple is signing at the moment for this device (as of 7/5/2012).

Step 4: Once you select the file, RedSn0w will go through the process of creating a new IPSW firmware file that will place your device into DFU mode upon restore. This firmware file will be placed in the same location as your original firmware file, and be named with the prefix ENTER_DFU. For instance, if I selected firmware for my iPod touch 4th generation for iOS 5.1.1, my original file should look like: this iPod4,1_5.1.1_9B206_Restore.ipsw, and my new file should look like this: ENTER_DFU_iPod4,1_5.1.1_9B206_Restore.ipsw.

Step 5: Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. Select your device in the iTunes sidebar, and hold the Option key (shift on Windows) and click the Restore button. Find your newly created ENTER_DFU IPSW file, and click OK. This will restore your device and place the device into DFU mode upon restore. You should just see a black screen once the restore is finished.

Step 6: Your device is now in DFU mode, with a freshly restored IPSW. You can now jailbreak your device using our easy to follow RedSn0w tutorials.

What do you think?

There was a time that Apple had the smartphone market to its self but times have changed and the fruit based company now finds it has a lot more competition especially from old foe Samsung. Arguably the two most wanted devices currently available are the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3, as the iOS and Android devices are locked in a showdown for supremacy in the smartphone world.

Meanwhile though many Android users would suggest the device doesn’t bring anything new to the market, but the question is which device is better to actually buy? The Samsung Galaxy S3 has some of the best hardware currently available, and will next month be updated to the Android Jelly Bean operating system.

By now, many of you may have heard about Samsung’s new print ad. They have taken an aim on Apple’s latest handset. The print ad compares the specifications of both devices.

As you can see on the top - it says ‘It doesn’t take a genius’. At the bottom, it’s written ‘The big thing is already here Galaxy S3’.
This was a poor attempt in our regard to get media attention, as the iPhone 5 isn't even out in the market yet. 

Then there is the more expensive iPhone 5 that will be running the iOS 6 operating system, and is ideal for anyone that already owns an iPad or MacBook with its high level of integration. iOS 6 will bring with it 200 new features that include an upgraded Notification Center that will bring calendar invitations, messages, Facebook friend requests, and much more.

Display

Samsung’s 4.8-inch Super AMOLED is still the larger screen here, it sports Corning Gorilla Glass 2, a 1280x720 pixel resolution and a pixel density of 306 pixels-per-inch (ppi).
Visuals are very crisp with excellent colour, contrast and brightness. There really isn’t anything to complain about.
The iPhone 5’s screen size may have expanded from previous iPhone models but it’s still quite reserved in scale at 4-inches.
Still, this is a nice size in terms of handling and usability and the moderate scale means Apple can squeeze a high 326 ppi pixel density out of its 1136x640 pixel resolution.
As usual, it uses Apple’s IPS LCD Retina technology for some fantastic visual clarity and colour.
Once again, there are no complaints, but in terms of raw pixel count the iPhone 5 has a clear advantage here.

Storage

Apple has stuck to its habit of offering three flavours of storage capacity: 16GB, 32GB and 64GB, with a price that scales alongside. As with previous iDevices, there’s no sign of Micro SD capability.
Samsung’s Galaxy S3 has the same options for 16GB, 32GB and 64GB, although the 64GB model is yet to surface on the UK market, Samsung itself has confirmed it will arrive at some point this year.
However, the Galaxy S3 has the key advantage of storage expansion via Micro SD and Micro SDHC for cards up to 32GB and 64GB respectively.
Samsung takes the winner’s podium for this round.

Software

The software will also make it easier for users to share content via Facebook and Twitter, and iCloud has added functionality. The Galaxy S3 still has the Ice Cream Sandwich operating system that is almost a year old now, so until it receives Android 4.1 it is arguably losing out to the iPhone 5.
Apple’s A6 processor that is found in the iPhone 5 is 22% smaller than the unit found in the iPhone 4S, and has twice the computing and graphical power, and will use less energy than previous versions. The Galaxy S3 meanwhile uses Samsung’s Exynos processor that can outperform both the Tegra 3 and Snapdragon S4.

More than is often the case, the battle between the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3 is the very definition of the case between iOS and Android, between Apple and Google. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is more flexible, with expandable memory and a more malleable OS. However, the metal body of Apple's phone feels a lot more premium, and is a much friendlier design for those with less than giant hands. And with the larger 4in screen, it won't feel quite so tiny next to the Samsung Galaxy S3, either.


Well honestly speaking it would be very tough for the iPhone 5 to match up to the galaxy in most aspects. For chances are that the Galaxy s3 with its new Exynos processor would trump it as it is currently the best processor on a mobile device (including tablets). Also the iPhone 5 may have a good camera but the question is will apple throw in the features like panorama, zero shutter lag, burst shot...etc ???. Comment Below

Another year, another iPhone. 2012 brings the iPhone 5, with the usual long lines at Apple stores and lots of hype. But this is actually a very solid upgrade: the iPhone 5 has a 4" Retina display and true 4G LTE. While the 3.5" display on prior iPhones seemed downright old fashioned in terms of screen real estate, the 4", 1136 x 640 display feels like there's room to spread out and read web pages without chronic zooming. The on-screen keyboard likewise is wider in landscape mode and easier to use. There's an extra row of apps on the home screen. Trust me, you'll notice the difference. And at 326ppi and 500 nits of brightness plus high contrast, it's one of the best displays on the smartphone market. Apple claims it has a 44% wider color gamut that covers the full sRGB spectrum (that's pretty impressive). The only caveat? Apps that haven't been updated to support the new resolution will have black bars at the top and bottom (we expect most popular apps will get updated quickly).


Apple reps have referred to the phone as ‘the most beautiful ever made’ and it seems like consumers agree. The new phone features an anodised black panel and the rest of the phone is glass. Bloggers have been split on the issue of the new phone’s aesthetics. It’s also 20% lighter than the previous phone, which is quite an improvement. It also comes with a larger screen and widescreen capability. Marry this to the new much-trumpeted 4G data speeds and you have the perfect tool for streaming video on the go.
All the indicators say that the iPhone is sure to be a success. We want to know if you’re one of those waiting to receive your shiny new device. Which plan are you going with, and which new features have persuaded you to upgrade from your previous phone?
