wow thats awesome good find

[ColsTiger]

Yeah I saw that last night. I'm sure there are a lot of guys working on their iPhones today.

Its been delayed to next week sometime....

#IPHONE-DEV, IRC, Cyberspace. March 30, 2008

The expected release of the Mac OS X version of “PwnageTool” has been delayed until sometime next week.

Legal enquiries were made to the DevTeam about the validity and legality of the contents of the tools, we would like to stress that no third-party copyrighted software will ever be released by the DevTeam.

Also, initial feedback from Beta testers has indicated that a few small changes and additional features should be developed.

Another major request from the Beta testers and demo viewers is that the team brings forward the release of the Windows version, with the feedback that has been received the team has decided to expedite the release of the Windows tool for a dual platform release sometime next week, iPod touch support will also be finalized.

The DevTeam would like to thank the users for being patient and wait for the upcoming release.

The video presentation that was released yesterday has been viewed over 100,000 times in 24 hours proving the overwhelming demand for the application.

To summarize :-

Pwnage Tool Application releases _sometime_ in the next week for Mac OS X 10.4.x, 10.5.x and Windows.
The tool contains revised logos and icons.
PwnageTool does NOT ship with any Apple licensed software, Intellectual Property, trademarks, logos or images.
As my Mother would say “If you are going to be late, arrive with flowers”.

I could see where they would have to be careful. From the articles I've read, they feel pretty confident that Apple won't be able to do anything about it either. The cat and mouse game continues.:D

Well not really. The iphone modifications forum is probably the best place for a post like this, but some people only read this forum. Indy is probably just trying to let everyone that only reads the iPhone Forum know that there is something new out.

I would, as I love getting my hands dirty with this kind of stuff, but I'm already doing it today. I relocated my applications earlier, and none of them would launch. So I repaired permissions and rebooted. The phone got half through booting and hung. I tried putting it into DFU mode and kicking it out through iNdependence without success. I then tried editing the com.apple.springboard.plist, but that made it worse. The boot screen only displayed connecting/disconnecting to the dock. I then had to enter DFU and Restore, and I'm the progress of jailbreaking again.

Not only did I loose the 213 photos I took at the beach, but I lost everything that was collected through jailbreaking. :angry:

Well that comes along with modding things. 213 photos lost? Don't you ever sync your photos? :D

Yea sorry about that, I sorta jumped the gun and didn't check everywhere before I posted, but I never check the other sections anyways, and yes I did figure it may draw more attention here.:wink:

Mwahahahaha! My master plan all along, my deed here is done...>=P

Well...Yes really.

I understand what you are saying, but it still is indeed a repost :tounge:

[psylichon]

Damn John that sucks! I've had my camera stolen at the end of a long trip (mission trip to Mexico in 7th grade... I was PISSED!) and it sucks royal donkey balls.

sorry for my French, but it's a sore subject to me. I feel for ya bro.

[Ramesh]

John - you know better than that... Why were you messing with your applications?

[Indy]

Well...Yes really.

I understand what you are saying, but it still is indeed a repost :tounge:

LoL, indeed it is and I apologized, I had this happen to me in the "Future iphones" section just the other day. I posted up a topic and then someone post the same topic IN THE SAME SECTION shortly after. WTF!?

This isn't retaliation by any means but it happens and what can ya do? Just don't post in the new thread is all I would tell someone.

You all have a great day and John, again, that really sucks man, let's just hope most of your pictures were crappy anyways...:tounge:lol. kidding...

[themanofthedark]

John, have you restored yet?

[Ramesh]

BTW - as soon as this hits, I'm doing it.

[themanofthedark]

Ditto. I really can't wait for this.


by the way, does anyone know if that means I could restore my 4.6 BL?

[tzhourdeka]

I really don't understand the Pwnage Project. Can someone try to explain it to me? Is it just an Unlock and Jailbreak?

[Ramesh]

Apple firmware are in packages ending in ispw (think that's right). When you restore, you are restoring from this package and its defaults. Now you can truly backup your phone regardless of your settings. You'll be able to "restore" to a jailbroken phone with installer and your customized images and such.

Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Man that sucks! That sounds like my kind of luck.:frown:

How does one make donations to Dev Team?
thanks

[themanofthedark]

thanks
was it the Dev Team that refused donations?

certainly not Zibri... he lives off donations..
and Ste as well...

[themanofthedark]

Technically, wouldn't giving the phone 3.9FB be the same as pwning? there are no checks in place...?

I suppose everything worked out.. after going though iPhone hacking hell.

I eventually gave up trying to get my photos and (attempted to) restore. iTunes extracted the software, and gave me an unknown error. No number. Then the iPhone went berserk. The screen was flashing white lines while attempting to boot in the background. It also vibrated every 5 seconds or so. I tried for about 30 minutes to toss it into DFU or at least shut it down, without success.

After trying everything else, I tried SSH again. Weird, it worked. I rebooted it from the terminal and it booted - but it the iPod carrier logo without any icons. I plugged it back in, but iTunes wouldn't recognize it. So I downloaded iNdependence to put it into DFU. However, iNdependence did not believe it was jailbroken. So I remembered I had seen this before and there was some plist I had to edit, which I did, and then put it into DFU.

Then I restored again. Same error. I SSHed in. I deleted /var/Applications and BossTool, which was what caused the problem. Rebooted. iPod problem again. DFU. Restore, successful this time. Then I spent several hours re-doing everything I've done since Christmas.

What was amazing is that after all of that, every one of my photos was still in t he camera roll. How I have no idea. I had not synced nor backed up since I took them. Either way, I have them. But I did loose several audio files, ShowTime movies, text files created with TextEdit, etc.

Glad you got it all sorted out. What caused all of this again?

Damn dood I'm so sorry for everything you lost, I feel slightly guilty for making this thread now. Hope it didn't do any permanent damage. :frown:

Simply relocating applications in BossTool.

That's HILARIOUS!! I wonder if it was Apple that bought them out.:2cool:

Wait. What? The Dev Team? Down and gone? I'm not sure if I'm getting this correctly.

Nevermind. It's an April Fool's Joke (http://www.tuaw.com/2008/03/31/iphone-dev-team-cancels-pwnage-sells-ip/#comments).

On that note, perhaps we should turn the site upside down tomorrow or something.

This reminds me of Pirates of Silicon Valley for some reason or another.

So, no reason for the April Fools joke...

I dunno - it wouldn't surprise me if Apple bought them out. Everyone has price. Well at least according to Mr. DiBiase.

Who is this man you speak of?

Google Ted DiBiase - he's before your time, and probably outside of your interest. I will disclaim that I haven't watched that stuff since high school.

Well tuaw is saying that some are saying it's an April Fools Joke and some are promising it isn't. Which is it?

[Lincoln]

Heck, I don't know. I go with what Erik said though; I don't care one way or the other. As long as I can stay jailbroken until June, anything goes.

NVM. I see it now says that it's definitely a joke. I think April Fools Jokes should be saved for duh April Fools Day.

[acosmichippo]

i'm keeping the code in my swiss castle for safekeeping.
