How to Change Carrier Logo on iPhone & iPad 3G/LTE – No Jailbreak Required

One of the most popular tweaks in the iOS jailbreak community is to change the carrier logo to a custom image. When a user upgrades their device to the newest model it takes time for a jailbreak to be released. Here’s a bit of a workaround to get the custom carrier logos on an iPhone or 3G/LTE model iPad. @uhelios and @Pix3lDemon have released CarrierEditor, an app currently available only on Mac. The application is extremely simple and intuitive and is of course offered for free. Below you will find the download link and included are several carrier logos to choose from.

The steps for completing this process are demonstrated in our video above and should take no more than a couple of minutes.

How to Display the Date & Time in Windows System Tray Clock in the Taskbar

November 21, 2010Uncategorizedbig, clock, date, dj bjra, easy, fast, icons, mac, mac os x, Small, stoicjoker, system tray, t-clock, task bar, taskbar, tclock, Time, unit, windowsDavid

Throughout the 25 years that the Windows operating system has been with us, not in one version has the date been displayed along with the clock in the system tray of the taskbar (at least in the versions that had a taskbar). For those familiar with Mac OS X, in the upper right corner of the screen, you can choose to have the date be displayed along side the time. It’s a shame that with Windows, if you choose to use the “small” taskbar or display “small icons” in Windows 7, you can only see the time.

If you’d like to be able to see the date as well, a free portable application called T-Clock v.3 by StoicJoker will do just that. You can download it HERE (download “(both) T-Clock 3 & T-Clock x64″ by Stoic Joker, not the other versions of T-Clock). To get T-Clock set up and running, follow the video tutorial below. If you’d like to have T-Clock start when Windows starts, in the “About” tab of the T-Clock properties, you can check the box that has this option.

If you’d like to create a custom time format, below the video is a chart listing the date and time strings along with their meanings.

As mentioned at WWDC 2010, Netflix said they would release their iPhone app this summer and everyone kind of forgot about it and they only had it on the iPad. Well today they released an app for the iPhone.

The application works great and the quality is excellent (over WiFi). Here’s a great video that SoldierKnowsBest made regarding Netflix for iPhone:

Unlocking an iPhone allows one to use it with an unsupported wireless carrier, for example, T-Mobile, in the U.S. The iPhone Dev-Team has released an unlock for the iPhone 4 using the baseband 01.59. If you don’t know what baseband your iPhone is currently on, you can use a program by iH8sn0w, called f0recast for both Mac and PC. You can download it HERE.

This unlock is incredibly simple and fast. Here’s the steps:

1. Jailbreak your iPhone 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqy0sPoN8Z8
2. Open Cydia>Manage>Sources>Edit>Add
3. Add the source: http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com
4. Remove SIM card if haven’t already
5. Search for and install ultrasn0w
6. Reboot iPhone

If no signal is found, go to Settings and turn on Airplane Mode, then turn it off. If you still have no signal, reboot the iPhone. That’s it! Your iPhone 4 should now be successfully unlocked and using either T-Mobile or another unsupported carrier! Follow @TechGeec on Twitter for updates.

Jailbreak Released for iPhone 3GS (Old Bootrom)

PwnageTool 4.0 Release Info

On Monday, Apple released firmware 4.0 for the iPhone and iPod touch devices. This of course was a major upgrade.

As advised, you shouldn’t have upgraded your devices if you have previously relied on our tools for hacktivation and/or a carrier unlock.

With that said, today we are releasing PwnageTool 4.0

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST CAREFULLY, THERE ARE KNOWN UPGRADE TRAPS AND DIFFERENT UPGRADE SCENARIOS THAT NEED TO BE FULLY UNDERSTOOD AND CONSIDERED BEFORE USING THESE TOOLS.

Each supported device has few different scenarios that users need to consider when performing the upgrades, you need to check below and perform the upgrade in the particular way that matches your current device state.

NB: With PwnageTool 4.0 certain devices are not supported this is because they are not supported in iOS 4.0 or they are not supported by our software. We’re working on ways to get past these restrictions.

iPhone 2G - not supported

iPod Touch – not supported

iPod Touch 3G – not supported

PwnageTool 4.0 only recognizes the official IPSWs that came out yesterday. If you had developer access to the “4.0 GM” IPSWs, do not try to use those.

iPhone 3GS

Summary: Currently, PwnageTool only works on previously jailbroken 3GS devices with the old bootrom.

If you have a Jailbroken iPhone 3GS with the OLD BOOTROM and you DID NOT use Spirit to jailbreak then you can create the ipsw with PwnageTool 4.0 and restore with your jailbroken recovery mode.

If you have an iPhone 3GS with the NEW BOOTROM this is NOT supported by PwnageTool 4.0

iPhone 3G

If you have a Jailbroken iPhone 3G at 3.1.2 (but not jailbroken with Spirit) then you should create the ipsw with PwnageTool 4.0 and restore from recovery mode or DFU mode.

If you have an out of the box iPhone 3G you should restore using a PwnageTool 4.0 ipsw using DFU mode.

If you have a Jailbroken 3.1.3 iPhone 3G it is very possible that this can fail from recovery mode, if this failure happens you will need to restore using DFU mode.

As an alternative to PwnageTool, you can use redsn0w on iPhone 3G (on both Windows and Mac) as mentioned in our last post.

IMPORTANT! Whenever you need to enter DFU mode, you will need to do so using PwnageTool.

iPod touch 2G

If you have an iPod touch 2G (non-MC model) that is jailbroken (but not with Spirit) then you can restore using recovery mode.

As an alternative to PwnageTool, you can use redsn0w on non-MC iPod Touch 2G (on both Windows and Mac) as mentioned in our last post.

Baseband Unlock

As you probably know by now, ultrasn0w has been updated to cover all basebands from 04.26.08 onward. Many thanks to @sherif_hashim for finding the crashing command that the new ultrasn0w 0.93 uses! He worked hard at finding the crash, and he kept it confidential until the right time to use it.

iPhone 3G and 3GS baseband unlockers (those who rely on ultrasn0w to make phone calls) should always be very wary to update their firmware, however our Ultrasn0w application will unlock all recent (including the current) 3GS and 3G baseband firmware versions. Once you are jailbroken using PwnageTool 4.0, install ultrasn0w from Cydia and you’ll be unlocked.

Remember! This baseband unlock situation is rare, should you upgrade your iPhone blindly at the next iOS release please don’t expect an unlock – but for now you are OK (whatever state your baseband is in).

Please feel free to ask any questions in the comment section below. We’ve got a bunch of expert help there, including our friendly moderators confucious and angie!

How to Jailbreak iOS 4

June 21, 2010Uncategorized1g, 2g, 3g, 3gs, 4.0, beta, cydia, dev team, easy, fast, features, firmware, hack, how to, iOS 4, iPhone, ipod touch, ipt2ggeec, jailbreak, mac, multitask, operating system, os, osx, pc, redsn0w, techgeec, tutorial, verbose boot, windowsDavid

The revolutionary new iPhone/iPod Touch operating system, iOS 4, has been successfully jailbroken using Redsn0w. Here’s how:

1. Download Redsn0w for Mac OS X or for Windows

2. Connect your device to your computer and shut it off (slide to shut down)

3. Download the corresponding iOS 4 firmware for your iDevice from the “Downloads” section of TechGeec.com

4. Open Redsn0w and browse for the firmware that you downloaded. Select “Next”

5. Select which features you’d like to be installed with the jailbreak (certain devices cannot have multitasking, homescreen wallpaper, or battery percentage so enabling those features gives that device the features)

6. Click “Next” twice and prepare to put your iDevice into DFU Mode

7. On the screen that shows you what to do to put your device in Recovery Mode:
Hold power button for 3 seconds
While still holding the power button, hold the home button for 10 seconds
While still holding the home button, release the power button and continue holding the home button for 30 seconds

8. Congratulations! Once your device reboots you should have Cydia on your home screen.

Feel free to leave a comment below stating what your favorite feature of iOS 4 is, if you enjoy jailbreaking, if you’ve had any problems, or any other sort of feedback, and please, share this post and TechGeec.com with your friends.

How to Jailbreak the iPad (WiFi + WiFi/3G)

May 2, 2010Uncategorized1g, 2g, 3g, apple, comex, easy, fast, hack, how to, ipad, iPhone, ipod touch, jailbreak, new, spirit, unlock, wifiDavid

You can now jailbreak your iPad using comex’s Spirit tool. This guide will show you how. This is for OS X but the Windows version works exactly the same. It is a universal release, so both PPC and Intel folks (using Macs) are supported.

Jailbreak the iPad

First off, download Spirit. OS X users can download it from SpiritJB.com, ModMyi.com, or the MediaFire.com miror.
Windows users can get it here, from SpritJB.com, as well.

You’ll see the Spirit icon on your desktop.

Make sure your iPad is on, in normal mode, and connected to the computer via your USB cable. Open Spirit – it will see your device and show it’s ready (Spirit works on any iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch on firmware 3.1.2, 3.1.3, or 3.2).

Jailbreak iPad

Press Jailbreak. For about 30 seconds you’ll see Spirit tell you it’s jailbreaking.

Your iPad (or other device) will show a “Restore Complete” screen (don’t worry, it’s not deleting any of your info/content), and Spirit will show Jailbreak Complete!

Jailbreak iPad

The iPad will restart, and for a minute or two you will see a very nice piece of artwork while Spirit is extracting the bootstrap package and finishing its work.

Boom – that’s it. Your iPad will then start back up, and you’ll see Cydia installed.

I strongly suggest if you have not already backed up your SHSH blobs, you open Cydia and press the Make my life easier, thanks! button to have saurik’s server back them up for you. This ensures you can always restore to the 3.2 firmware, regardless of whether Apple attempts to restrict that later.

Congratulations! You’re now the proud owner of a jailbroken iPad.

Coming Soon: iPad Jailbreak

April 29, 2010Uncategorized3g, apple, easy, fast, how to, ipad, jailbreak, new, spirit, userland, walkthrough, wifiDavid

The following is a direct quote via the iPhone Dev-Team Blog. Before going on, I’d like to inform you that this jailbreak with be extremely easy to accomplish and TechGeec.com along with our YouTube channel will have full tutorials on how to do this.

Quote (via Dev-Team Blog):

At some point after (don’t ask when!) the iPad 3G is actually in customers’ hands, the first “userland” jailbreak since firmware 1.x will be released by @comex. It’s called “Spirit” and was first demonstrated working on an iPad by @MuscleNerd within 24 hours of the iPad’s release on April 3.

Userland jailbreaks are more troublesome for Apple since they expose security weaknesses that exist even for non-jailbroken owners. As such, Apple is likely to close them soon after they’re made public. One recent example of this is the SMS vulnerability exposed at Blackhat last summer. Apple released new firmware to close that hole within a day.

The Spirit jailbreak is most useful for newer devices: iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G, and the iPads. Unfortunately those devices are the same ones that Apple can prevent you from downgrading unless you’ve got a backup of your personalized SHSH blobs. Unless you’ve backed up your SHSH blobs for vulnerable firmware versions, you’ll lose the ability to use the current Spirit jailbreak if you accidentally upgrade.

Please take the steps now to backup your SHSH blobs. Use either Firmware Umbrella to create a local copy, or go through saurik’s server. If you are getting an iPad 3G, it’s safest to backup your blobs using Firmware Umbrella, in case saurik’s server gets bogged down with requests.

Other things about Spirit that are useful to know:

Spirit is an untethered jailbreak.

Spirit works on all devices. (However, the redsn0w and PwnageTool flows will continue to work on those devices they’ve always worked on)

Spirit does not include a carrier unlock. (Please don’t bug @comex about that)

Spirit requires your device to be activated or hacktivated

Please make sure you have your SHSH blobs backed up! While @comex has indicated he’s not going to release the very minute the iPad 3G is out, there’s no telling what Apple might do anyway.

So, how many of you are excited about this. If yes/no, why? Leave a comment…
