weDict Dictionary on iPhone 2.0.1
August 12th, 2008
I’ve been successfully added the langdao-chinese-to-english dictionary manually to my iphone 2.0.1. and it works as expected. Here’s the screenshots,fyi.
The how-to? well, reader Daniel has put it in this comment. All same as before, except the target folder where the .dict and .idx files should be copied to, has been changed from ‘/var/root/Library/weDict/‘ to the new ‘/private/var/mobile/Applications/5AD48CB3-xxx/WeDict.app‘.
This post is just a proof based on my own testing.
Of couse, i assume you can use WinSCP without any question. If i’m wrong, you may get some info from that old post. Leave your comment if it’s nor working or anything is wrong.
Update(Aug,23,2008): Confirmed: this trick works on my updated 2.0.2 as well.
iPhone 2.0 Unlocked by the Dev Team, Again
July 13th, 2008
Here’s the proof(Bootneuter 2.0 from iphonedev on Vimeo):
The reason i say again is because they have done it before, for many times, actually, from the starting 1.0.0 to 1.1.4. I don know what you think, but i do think i should salute to them, again, not mention just after i read their latest post titled Rush,rush,rush on their blog.
btw, it’s for the old 1st-gen iphone, not the new 3G one.
Good Luck and Farewell, Dev Team!
April 1st, 2008
The most respectful and well-known developer group in iphone hacking field, iphone dev team, has been eliminated! check out the official press release on their site here. here’s the quote:
iPhone DevTeam PRESS RELEASE
The “DevTeam” would like to announce the immediate withdrawal from the iPhone development arena.
It was anticipated that the DevTeam would be releasing a tool for the iPhone sometime this week, unfortunately it has been decided to withdraw all development activities on this tool.
Criticism of the validity of the tool has been reported in the press and certain actions were taken to prevent the release of the tool on the 30th March.
Due to these actions, certain developers ceased their work immediately, with others reconsidering their position.
On Monday the 31st of March the DevTeam was approached by an unnamed party to sell all of thei intellectual property and related applications.
After much consideration the offer was accepted and work has ceased.
The name of the company that has made this offer is private, and the details of the deal are confidential.
Our only comment is that Pwnage Tool and other such applications will not be seen outside of the lab.
We would like to thank our users for their support over the last 10 months.
ENDS
Really frustrated at this, ‘coz they are the one that owns my full respect and now they are gone. same goes to the long-awaited pwnage project. What do we expect from the iphone hacking field tomorrow, then?!
Anyway, they have done so much to us. and they should have a good ending. hopefully their hacking spirits will be kept and reserved in the following hacking guys. for now, let me say:
Good luck and Farewell, iPhone Dev Team.
Update(Apr.1,2008): So glad to learn that i’m just been fooled 
iPhone 1.1.4 Fix: Safari Can’t Remember Password
March 16th, 2008
For those iphoners who unlocked their iphones by iPlus, they should have the same problem as i do.
The reason is because the user ‘mobile’ under which Safari is running has no permission to save the cookies.
And the fix is pretty easy, run chmod -R 777 /private/var/mobile/Library/Cookies on the iphone by Term-v100 or Putty.

Today’s Unlock Findings
March 16th, 2008
I just unlocked two iphones today, both of which are firmware 1.1.3 OTB, by iPlus2.0b(Download. btw, I removed the included br_kit.tar(for Brazil localization) from payload.zip before i run the iplus batch). So far everything is fine and all functions are working well.
In order to give the Chinese iphone unlockers a basic guide so that they can use their cool toy ASAP, I just made a unlock checklist here. Of course it’s also helpful for those who are not Chinese but still own an iphone and ready to unlock themselves.
One more thing, add http//www.trejan.com/irepo to your installer Source and then install Hardware Info, by which you can get a full report on your iphone’s h/w info, including modem, cpu, baseband etc. You can get more from the author’s site here.
Last but not least, NEVER EVER restore your 3.9FB iphone to firmware 1.1.1 or 1.1.0.’Coz doing so may bring a *strange* 3.8BL to your iphone which is not in the popular hackable software pool. Here’s the announcement from hackint0sh.
On Fully Functional 1.1.4 Now
March 9th, 2008
The reason i decided to update my iphone is as below:
1. the unlock works for sure.
2. the newly updated iCosta 1.1.0 supports 1.1.4 now.
3. of course 1.1.4 has some improvements as well. Personally what i’m interested is the one about cell signal.
And here’s the steps i did. In all, pretty easy and smooth.
1.Use iTunes to sync your iphone and make sure everything backuped. Then Shift+Restore to 1.1.4.
2.Download iPlus 1.2 and International Pack. Credit goes to aviegas.
3.Unzip the iPlus1.2.zip to your local harddisk, say c:\iplus1.2. Rename the existed payload.zip to payload-zip.bak. Then copy the downloaded payload_international.zip to c:\iplus1.2 and rename it as payload.zip.
4. Go to c:/iplus1.2 under command line and then run iplus -u. After couple of reboot and boom, the iphone has been activated, jailbroken and unlocked!!
5. Launch iTunes and restore back all of your original settings. and you are done!!
So for now I’m on 1.1.4 now, both firmware and baseband. And i checked youtube, google maps and Settings as well. All works fine. Last but least, i saw the cell signal. So, are you gonna stay where you are or go to 1.1.4 next?
Huge iPhone Unlock Progress Achieved
February 13th, 2008
First, BL 4.6 + BB 04.02.13_G is done by the young well-known iphone-unlocking genius George Hotz(a.k.a GeoHot). Here’s his announcement on his blog. What does this means? Well, it means anyone who plans to use iphone on any unofficial carrier network can go to get an iphone without any hesitation for now. For OTB or upgraded 1.1.2 or 1.1.3, try Ziphone . For others, use google.
Second, one of FF 1.1.3’s exploits founded by Dev Team. So what does this mean, again? It means 1.1.3 has been jailbroken. It means you can try the newly-added features in the latest firmware yourself. Without this, you will never ever get Ziphone.
Last but not least, BL 4.6 downgraded to BL 3.9. Done by GeoHot, Again. I know your question. And here’s my understandings. Tutorial here by aCujo.
Basically, it means you can make your 1.1.3 OTB iphone fully functional(hopefully) while staying at the up-to-date 04.03 BB.
Besides, if GeoHot continues his awesome job, a customized BL would be possible. That means, most likely, the hacking community will take a big step advance in the cat-and-mouse battle against Apple. For the iphone owners like me, we will benefit so much from that. Say no worry of no available unlock method at all when we do the upgrade in iTunes
1.1.3 Now
February 11th, 2008
I followed George’s wonderful post here to make it done.
And after the soft-upgrade, again, with help from George on iCosta installation, and some 3rd-party app fixes, i should say my iphone is ready to go.
Besides, George has so many valuable posts there on his blog. So if you wanna do some iphone hackings like me, i strongly recommend to subscribe his blog and check often.
So for now, I have a fully functional(except Google Maps’ Locate me) iphone in firmware 1.1.3 and unlocked bb 04.02.13_G
1.1.3 BL 3.9 Unlock Comming Soon!!
February 3rd, 2008
Just got it from hacktintosh. Very exciting news, isn’t it?
BTW, actually just tried to update my iphone from 1.0.2 to 1.1.3 recently. But in the final end i failed. As a result, i’m on 1.1.2 now.
If the software unlocking for bootloader 3.9 firmware 1.1.3 would be released very soon as said, then I’ll be waiting for it without a second 1.1.3 soft-upgrade try.
