Musclenerd recently tweeted that Sunday will more than likely be a Funday. An updated pwnagetool is expected to be released Sunday with iOS 4.1/AppleTv 2 support. This is a good thing for Mac users as both newly released jailbreaking tools Limera1n and Greenpois0n are windows only.

Pwnagetool lets you create a custom iOS firmware that is already pre jailbroken so all you have to do is restore with that firmware and you are jailbroken and good to go.

Semaphore the developer of TinyUmbrella is working on a huge update for his famous program that lets you backup your shsh blobs. TinyUmbrella frees you from Apples controlling actions and lets you restore to any firmware you want if you use the program correctly. For a list of upcoming features:

● Device History: TinyUmbrella will remember device information of devices that have connected so that saving SHSH’s for those devices in the future no longer requires you to connect the device.
● Save All SHSH’s Available “On-File” at Cydia: TinyUmbrella will now automatically check Cydia for ALL SHSHs for the connected device (or device from history )
● TinyUmbrella will also help you detect what application is running on your computer that is taking up port 80 and will give you the option to kill that application. This should help many of you that don’t know what application may be listening on port 80 (ie. Skype)
● TinyUmbrella will also tell you what firmware versions you can safely downgrade or restore to whenever you connect the device (or select a device from history)
● TinyUmbrella will be sporting a cleaner UI based on some of the great suggestions from @chpwn (a friend and fellow chronic dev team associate)
● Support for PowerPC and more stable runtime for folks having problems running TinyUmbrella for odd and various reasons.

Long term plans include:

● Activation Support: I’ve started looking into the way the phone requests (and obtains) activation from apple’s servers. I’m confident I can duplicate this process but I have more investigation as the the process is incredibly complicated.
● Full Restore Support without iTunes: I’m looking at implementing my own complete restore mechanism. I have not decided if I’ll directly use @p0sixninja’s libirestore or whether I’ll try to do something that hasn’t been done before… ie in java

Now that we have the iphone 4 jailbreak along with it being an untethered jailbreak for all other i-devices it is very important for yout to save your shsh blobs. A lot of new people in the jailbreak scene don’t know what those are and its ok you don’t need to just save them. If your not jailbroken I recommend saving your shsh’s anyway so that if you ever want to jailbreak you can. This is urgent right now it is rumored a firmware update is coming today!

Your probably wondering what is all this shsh stuff. Basically whenever Apple releases a new firmware update for i-devices it doesn’t allow you to downgrade to old firmware versions. If you update to a new firmware and there is no jailbreak for it your stuck without, unless you have your shsh’s save. With your shsh’s saved you can downgrade to the old firmware version that is jailbreakable. Enough talk here is how to save shsh’s so get them whether your jailbroken or not:

• Visit http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com/
• On right hand side choose and download either windows or osx program
• Open TinyUmbrella and you will get a screen like the one above, click save my shsh
• Your done now hang tight and DO NOT update your i-device when the new firmware drops.

Now that Apple has released the 4.1 iOS beta you should all know to back up our shsh’s locally and on sauriks server by using a program called TinyUmbrella. Saving your shsh’s is a back up plan just in case you upgrade to Apple’s latest firmware that isn’t jailbreakable, the shsh’s allow you to sign your own firmware and downgrade to a jailbreakable firmware. Lets not get too complicated just do the following:

• Visit: http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com/

• Download the program for your OS
• Have your i-device connected, run program and click save my shsh
• To be more cautious click advanced options and by location choose Apple and save shsh locally, now you have two backups
• Now chill out and go on about your day.

It seems that the new iOS 4.1 software update is not fixing any issues with signal loss on the iPhone 4 surprisingly. Obviously Apple can’t fix the hardware problem the iphone 4 antenna is causing but they can fix the way the signal bars are displayed and how signal strength is calculated.

Users that have updated to the new 4.1 firmware are reporting that they are getting less bars than they use to on the old 4.0 firmware, thus meaning apple may have corrected the signal bars display to be more accurate. I’ll keep you posted on more 4.1 details as soon as they are available.
