yellowsn0w release
January 1, 2009 by xufuchang · 39 Comments
Akhirnya setelah di tunggu-tunggu sekian lama, iPhone Dev Team merelease juga software unlock untuk iPhone 3G pertama di dunia.
Untuk menggunakan software ini kalian harus mengupgrade ke Baseband 2.2 (2.28.00), berikut kutipan dari mereka:
Update!
Hello all,
We wish you a very happy, healthy, and hopeful 2009!
Once you have installed yellowsn0w, please report your success or failure here. it’ll help us with the bug fixes.
We have released the 0.9.4 beta yellowsn0w 3G unlock application. Please note the following:
BASICS
- The unlock works exclusively with baseband 02.28.00. This baseband is provided by the latest firmware update (2.2) from Apple. You’ll need to upgrade to this release using iTunes and then use QuickPwn to activate etc. There are plenty of tutorials about this on iclarified, bigboss, modmi and other established tutorial sites. Because it works on 02.28.00, it is available to everyone on the planet. This means we don’t need to unnecessarily expose holes in earlier basebands, which is an important concern.
- The application is a small daemon that is launched on boot. It injects the payload at boot and also whenever there is a baseband reset. You won’t notice anything about it other than that your third-party sim now works. It’s a small program and unobtrusive. There is no GUI (this is by design).
- You can add the application using the sources outlined below. There are Cydia and Installer sources available, so use whichever you are comfortable using.
- yellowsn0w is completely removable through Cydia, the command line, and iTunes.
DETAILS
- There is a known issue with SIM cards that have STK (SIM Toolkit) application menus. These menus are usually items such as “top up” “get credit” “lotto numbers” etc. These menu items confuse the application sometimes. Removing and reinserting the SIM once after reboot (give it about 10 secs 60 seconds (with v0.9.1) after you see the slide to unlock widget) fixes this issue. We’re working on a better fix. Update: version 0.9.4 fixes this for many (but probably not all) users who previously had to wait a minute and then replug the sim.
- For those of you using SIM cards without STK menus, the application has some optional arguments that will make the unlock much faster for you. So either experiment on your own (use “yellowsn0w -h” for usage) or wait for a customization writeup.
- After you install yellowsn0w via Cydia, you should return to the Cydia main menu then reboot your iPhone with the 3rd party SIM installed. Wait for the slide to unlock screen, then wait 10 or 15 secs more. If you don’t see your carrier name pop up, then remove your SIM, reinsert it, and wait 10 secs more. This is the step we’ll be working on eliminating next.
RANDOM
- The application is version 0.9 0.9.1 0.9.4 This is considered beta software, you use it at your own risk. You know the score.
- The application is released on a non-commerical basis. Please do not accept pirates and scummy ripoffs of this software. We license this software for single use and in a non-commerical environment (meaning you can’t charge for it). The techniques and methods used are not to be used by third party companies. We are watching you Jody…we won’t be so forgiving this time.
- Direct linking to the repository URLs is prohibited, please only link to this post. We will be checking referers.
- Happy 2009 and enjoy!
The iPhone 3G is used all over the world with all sorts of SIM cards, and we almost certainly will see untested and unexpected situations. If the soft unlock doesn’t work for you on day 1 (literally day 1, of 2009!) then please don’t panic or be impatient. This is new territory for everyone, so enjoy the ride as much as you can 
RELEASE INFO
- Cydia source: http://apt9.yellowsn0w.com/
- Installer repo: http://i.yellowsn0w.com/
UPDATES
- Soon you’ll see yellowsn0w 0.9.1 in the repos. It uses a much longer delay to let your SIM card initialize. If you have problems with 0.9.0, try this one and wait a full minute after you seem homescreen, then reinsert sim card. We need both success and failure reports to tune this across the world, so please be patient (but please also report result!).As of v 0.9.4 there’s no longer a one-minute delay step. If you don’t see your carrier when your homescreen comes up, you may still need a sim reinsert (for now).
- If you are in the U.S. and are trying this with T-Mobile, you must turn off the 3G switch in Settings. Also if you are good with the command line, you can make it much easier by adding the line <string>-q</string> right after the /usr/bin/yellowsn0w line in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.iphone-dev.yellowsn0w.plist (that’s and advanced tip, hopefully someone will make a boosprefs type of tool for it).The -q option is now deprecated in 0.9.4 (it’s now always in quick mode, unless you use the -l option for long mode).
- No PIN support yet. Remember how we said this was beta? Well we’re still working out the flow for SIMs with PINs enabled. Please disable any PIN you may have on that SIM before trying yellowsn0w, for now.
- The unlock will silently quit on anything other than baseband 02.28.00. It detects the wrong version and just quits to avoid any damage. Please double check your Modem Firmware setting in Settings->General->About.
- For ankle-biters that are pointlessly reversing the application the source is here all open, but remember Jody, we are watching you.
- Thanks for the kind words Stephen.
Stay Tuned!

iPhone 3G Unlock Live Demo!
December 22, 2008 by xufuchang · 8 Comments
MuscleNerd, akan menunjukkan video live demo iPhone 3G yang telah di unlock menggunakan yellowsn0w yang di jalankan dari aplikasi Qik di iPhone.
Berikut ini pernyataan dari Dev-Team mengenai hal ini:
This week’s DevTeam Funday features a live demo of yellowsn0w!
MuscleNerd will use Qik to broadcast a live video and audio stream (from an iPhone 2G) of an iPhone 3G being soft-unlocked with yellowsn0w. He’s in Florida for the holidays so there won’t actually be any snow in the live demo (although strangely enough if he were back home in Los Angeles he’d be very close to snow this week!).
Qik creates a chatroom for its videos but it may not be feasible to field questions live from the chatroom. So if you have a question that hasn’t already been answered in our previous blog posts, please tweet them in advance to Musclenerd.
We’re aiming to do the live demo in about 12 hours, or 3PM EST. The actual URL will be tweeted via MuscleNerd’s twitter account just as it starts.
Hope to see you there!
UPDATE - 1.45PM EST/7.45 CET
Here is a short video from MuscleNerd’s Qik account that has some preliminary information that relates to his AT&T SIM card. This also demonstrates the video and sound quality that you should expect during the demonstration. We plan to capture the VNC session that you can see in the background so that we can post a more detailed video later.
UPDATE - 2.52PM EST/8.52 CET
Get your popcorn and soda ready for the main feature, there may be a little delay while MuscleNerd aligns his camera and inserts his cables , look out for the stream URL on MuscleNerd’s twitter
UPDATE - 3.13PM EST/9.13 CET
MuscleNerd is demoing it live!

Konfirmasi iPhone 3G unlock
December 17, 2008 by xufuchang · 8 Comments
Informasi lanjutan dari Dev-Team yang meng confirm bahwa mereka telah berhasil mengunlock iPhone 3G dan di beri nama “yellowsn0w”. Sekarang ini mereka sedang mengemas “yellowsnow” dengan aplikasi yang user friendly dan sangat sederhana dan mudah digunakan.
Berikut ini detail dari mereka:
1.Target dari tanggal release adalah malam Tahun Baru 2008.
2.Unlock kali ini baru tersedia untuk firmware awal dengan baseband 2.11.07 seperti informasi sebelumnya.
3.Kita dapat mengetahui baseband dari iPhone kita dengan Settings->General->About->Modem Firmware.
4.Unlock ini membutuhkan iPhone 3G yang di jailbreak, ini dapat di install via Cydia.
5.Video demo akan ditampilkan di blog sebelum Christmas.
Mengenai jailbreak iPod Touch 2G, berikut ini tanggapan dari mereka:
Currently we are not investigating the iPod touch 2G. Other people outside the Dev-Team are looking into this, but we are not at the moment. Please don’t hassle us with comments and requests about this, they’ll just be deleted and ignored. If we do look at this device it will be sometime in the New Year and we’ll inform you guys if and when we commence this work.
We would like to reiterate that this is not because -
1. We are mean
2. We are turning our back on the iPod touch community
3. We have been paid off by JFK, Princess Diana or Elvis
This is because -
1. It’s not an iPhone
2. We have been busy with the 3G unlock.
3. We have been busy with the CCC talk.
4. Only one of us has a iPod touch 2G (but we’ll see what Santa brings)
5. Our employers don’t get as excited as us about hacking expensive pretty devices
6. Unfortunately our partners, parents and pets need occasional attention too.

3G Software Unlock Sebelum Tahun Baru
December 15, 2008 by xufuchang · 4 Comments
Berita baik ni dari iPhone Dev-Team, dimana mereka memperkirakan software unlock akan keluar sebelum tahun baru. Jadi bisa dibilang ini sebagai kado tahun baru dari Dev-Team.
Berdasarkan komentar dari anggota MuscleNerd bahwa tanggal targetnya adalah sebelum Christmas. Pada awalnya yang akan di unlock adalah Firmware dengan baseband 01.45.00. Kalau waktu memungkinkan, Dev-Team akan menyelesaikan unlock untuk baseband 02.11.07.
Berikut ini komentar mereka tentang baseband 02.11.07
Right now for 02.11.07 we have some untested ideas. Ideally we’d have something solid by the end of next week, but if we don’t then it would be a staged release, with 01.45.00 first out of the gate.
Berikut ini adalah list dari Firmware iPhone dan kecocokan basebandnya:
- 2.0.0 Firmware & 01.45.00 Baseband
- 2.0.1 Firmware & 01.48.02 Baseband
- 2.0.2 Firmware & 02.08.01 Baseband
- 2.1.0 Firmware & 02.11.07 Baseband
- 2.2.0 Firmware & 02.28.00 Baseband
Kalian yang masih di baseband 01.45.00 atau di firmware 2.00 akan bisa mengunlock iPhone 3G kalian duluan daripada mereka yang mempunyai Firmware selain itu.
Kalau kalian menggunakan Firmware 2.1 atau menggunakan Pwnage untuk update ke 2.2 maka kalian akan mempunyai baseband 2.11.07. Ini akan menjadi baseband kedua yang akan menerima unlock.
Mereka yang mempunyai baseband 02.28.00 sementara ini masih harus sabar menunggu sampai software unlocknya di release. Jadi pastikan kalian menggunakan tutorial dan software dari Dev-Team untuk jailbreak dan update daripada menggunakan iTunes.
Jadi kesimpulannya, tunggu saja kado natal dan tahun baru dari Dev-Team tahun ini.

iPod Touch 2G jailbreak… kapan?
December 8, 2008 by ketanitem · 2 Comments
Sampai saat ini sudah cukup jelas bagi kita untuk jangan dulu terlalu banyak berharap kepada Dev-Team untuk dapat mengerjakan jailbreak dari iPod Touch 2nd Gen (iPod Touch 2G). Karena prioritas yang mereka lakukan sampai sejauh ini adalah di proses jailbreaking dari iPhone 3G.
Karena saking lamanya proses ini membuat munculnya beberapa effort baik yang hoax (lihat artikel ini) untuk iPod 2G ini, maupun yang menjanjikan (lihat bagian akhir dari artikel ini).
Seorang user dari ipodtouchfans forum bernama ledhendrixman mengumpulkan beberapa komentar menarik mengenai sepak terjang Dev-Team terhadap iPod Touch 2G ini.
Beberapa komentar dari anggota Dev-Team sendiri yang menguatkan berita ini, salah satu anggotanya pytey berkata:
It isn’t even on our radar to be honest.
Dengan statement ini berarti iPod Touch 2G memang tidak berada dalam urutan prioritas Dev-Team sama sekali, anggota lainnya yang mempunyai nickname MuscleNerd berkata:
If the application CPU or bootrom used by the iPod 2G make their way into some future iPhone, then we’d definitely be motivated to talk more about it. I think it’s *still* the case that only one of us even has an iPod 2G
yang secara bebas di terjemahkan: kalau nanti CPU / bootrom yang di gunakan oleh iPod 2G di gunakan oleh iPhone, baru deh mereka akan bicara lebih lanjut mengenai ini.
MuscleNerd juga pernah membuat komentar yang menunjukkan bahwa DevTeam sama sekali tidak sedang mengerjakan jailbreak dari iPod Touch 2G, berikut komentarnya:
The iPhone DevTeam has tried to jailbreak the iPod Touch 2G for an accumulated total of 25 minutes, give or take 5 minutes.
Sebagai informasi iPod Touch menggunakan prosesor baru s5l8720x yang clocking nya lebih cepat, 532MHz dibanding model sebelumnya yang di pakai oleh iPhone 1st Gen, iPod Touch 1st Gen dan iPhone 3G yaitu S5L8900 dengan clock 412MHz.
Dev-Team dengan PwnageTool nya bekerja berdasarkan security flaw yang ada di prosesor. Barengan dengan itu LLB (low Level Booter) yang menjalankan beberapa rutin setup dan mengecek signature dari iBoot sekarang ini sudah encrypted dan Group ID nya juga sudah berubah.
Tapi, sekarang ini ada group baru yang menamakan dirinya Chronic Dev yang sedang berjuang untuk dapat melakukan jailbreak terhadap iPod 2nd Gen ini. Walaupun belum benar2 mengeluarkan tools yang dapat di gunakan, akan tetapi progress nya sudah mulai kelihatan, dan paling tidak kita sama-sama tahu bahwa sudah ada usaha-usaha alternatif untuk dapat melakukan jailbreak iPod Touch 2nd Gen. Mari kita tunggu!
Firmware 2.2 - simple step by step #2
November 25, 2008 by ketanitem · 55 Comments
Kalo kemarin bicara mengenai update ke firmware 2.2 dengan menggunakan Mac dan PwnageTool. Kali ini kita akan gunakan cara yang lebih simple untuk upgrade, cara ini tidak baru karena pernah di bahas juga sebelumnya (lihat artikel ini),
Pada prinsipnya, cara ini menggunakan iTunes, baik yang berjalan di Windows maupun Mac tidak masalah sama sekali, yang di butuhkan adalah custom firmware yang bisa di dapat di gudang, harap di sesuaikan custom firmware nya sesuai dengan iPhone yang kita miliki (1st Gen, 3G Factory Unlocked atau 3G SIM Unlocked).
Setelah itu cek, apakah firmware iPhone kita saat ini yang ada di iPhone kita sudah dalam keadaan sudah di Pwned atau masih menggunakan stock firmware. (Cara yang paling mudah, tapi tidak terlalu akurat adalah dengan mengecek apakah ada aplikasi Installer atau Cydia package manager di SpringBoard).
Jika belum di Pwned maka iPhone harus di set ke keadaan DFU terlebih dahulu, tetapi bila
sudah di Pwned maka tinggal kita set iPhone ke Recovery mode dengan melakukan shift+restore di PC atau option+restore di Mac.
Untuk detil beda DFU dan Recovery, silahkan lihat di sini.
BigBoss memperingatkan jangan menggunakan Pusher
November 24, 2008 by xufuchang · Leave a Comment
Baru saja di release, BigBoss dengan segera memberikan peringatan kepada para iPhone user untuk tidak menggunakan Pusher. BigBoss mengatakan bahwa Pusher akan memblok akses ke /partition dan membuatnya tidak akan bisa di install Cydia.
Berikut pernyataan dari mereka akan Pusher ini:
Pusher is RiPDev’s 2.2 version of a jailbreak. This should be avoided and not used. Instead use the dev team’s jailbreaks. RiPDev’s version will block access to / partition and make it impossible to install Cydia. (They want you using Installer of course). It’s pretty much worthless since most the packages are in Cydia. The dev team’s jailbreak allows you to use both Cydia and Installer. There is no valid reason to use Pusher instead of one of the pwnages below.
Update: This point had to be made. Pusher tries to say it doesn’t void your warranty indicating that it is different than pwnage / quickpwn in this regard. It is not. This is a lie! Your warranty is “officially” voided, although a simple restore in iTunes undoes any jailbreak and you can always get warranty service. Using pusher or pwnage makes no difference in this regard.
Pusher is not better for newbies. The purpose of jailbreaking is to get as much non-appstore software onto your device as you can. Installer only offers about 8% of what is in Cydia. Certainly having 8% of the software packages is not good for newbies.
