As the subject says. Apple is pushing iOS 4.3.2 via iTunes. You cannot jailbreak it so do not update. You will gain nothing and lose everything you have installed on your jailbreak. The official changes in the 4.3.2 update is “fixes some facetime issue and 3g connectivity issues on ipad”. Sigh.

Continue Reading ..>>Dev team has released an untethered 4.3.1 jailbreak in the form of redsn0w 0.9.6rc9 or newer or pwnagetool 4.3.1. Credit goes to Stefan Esser (I0n1c) for finding this one. (Let’s hope he’s a new player here to stay, if you can find out where to donate to him, go do so).
You can download redsn0w MAC or Windows and use our guide here if you have questions. Read more about it at the dev team blog.
Warning for unlockers: WARNING WARNING — ultrasn0w users don’t update yet! We need to first release an update to ultrasn0w that fixes some incompatibilities when FW 4.3.1 is used on the older basebands supported by ultrasn0w.
Note: this does not work on 4.3 currently. Only 4.3.1. Also does not support iPad 2.
If you have problems with redsn0w hanging uploading payload on Windows 7, try setting XP Compatibility Mode.

Continue Reading ..>>So today, Modmyi put up a post about 4.3.1 tethered jailbreak being out. But there is a reason I did not post about this. In fact, it should all be avoided.
Tethered jailbreak means that when your device reboots, you will have a connect to itunes logo on your screen and have to rerun the jailbreak software to get out of this mode. There is a “real” 4.3 jailbreak on its way out soon. You should all wait for that.
Further, the 4.3.1 tethered jailbreak bundles are incomplete and do not provide updated kernel patches. The pwnage bundle going around is not a one created by the dev team. The ih8snow products are put together with no new code. Instead, they only assemble new bundles using existing older jailbreak exploits. (This is also why I never recommend using these products). No testing has been done, developers have not updated any tweaks / extensions for 4.3.1, etc. The update is not critical by any means, simply avoid it for now.
As for “this must be better than nothing right?” No, it really isn’t. I believe since the sandboxing issue isn’t worked out that Safari will be broken after Cydia runs the first time. To test this, I decided to jailbreak with it but unfortunately for me, after the jailbreak completes, Cydia won’t even load.

This morning marks an historic release of our beloved jailbreak package installer. Cydia 1.1 represents a huge amount of time and effort spent fine-tuning the user experience and lots and lots of speed added. Amongst the new features and functionality, the speed in performing most tasks has improved tremendously. A noticable and welcome change includes an improved Search routine and results list, as well as a perisistent-feel for using Cydia on iOS 4+ where multittasking is commonplace. The Cydia homepage and Store features have also received tons of improvements over the last few months, so be sure to check it out. Nearly all parts of Cydia on both the front- and back-end have been tenderly nourished, adding up to an entirely fresh and exciting user experience that should appeal to all. It’s a new day, it’s a new Cydia. Let everyone know, the best just got better. Note that this was a community effort. This is where open source can really shine. Rather than only Saurik doing all the work on this one, we also had significant help from chpwn, Dustin Howett, and Ryan Petrich as well as countless hours put in by Saurik, himself.
Note: community sources are no longer packages. If you delete one, you will have no way to re-add it. You will have to manually delete the file /var/lib/cydia/metadata.plist and restart cydia.
FaceBreak is a Mobile Substrate extension that allows FaceTime calls over 3G. New version now supports iOS 4.2.1/4.2.6(Verizon) and uses much less memory than previous versions. !function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?’http’:'https’;if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+’://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js’;fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, ‘script’, ‘twitter-wjs’);lang: en_US

I purchased a verizon iphone and did some speed tests here in Oregon. At least in my region, AT&T was 10-20 times faster than verizon consistently in 3g data transfer rates.
Here are some tests:
| Test # | AT&T Ping | AT&T K Down | AT&T K Up | Verizon Ping | Verizon K Down | Verizon K Up |
| 1 | 579 | 775 | 24 | 733 | 58 | 8 |
| 2 | 215 | 626 | 222 | 279 | 200 | 228 |
| 3 | 245 | 1676 | 1304 | 258 | 257 | 372 |
| 4 | 206 | 1642 | 1063 | 279 | 366 | 24 |
| 5 | 244 | 3348 | 1695 | 266 | 242 | 253 |
Then I repeated the test with AT&T on EDGE. That’s right. I disabled 3g and used EDGE. I left Verizon on 3g, since that is the only way their CDMA works:
| Test # | AT&T E Ping | AT&T E K Down | AT&T E K Up | Verizon Ping | Verizon K Down | Verizon K Up |
| 1 | 618 | 162 | 89 | 279 | 125 | 170 |
Ping – lower is better. For k down and k up, higher is better (this is your actual transfer rate). My tests were all performed with speedtest’s appstore app. I tested them at different times of the day on different days to see performance changes. Both devices seem to be running on about 3 bars in my location. I drove around town to different locations. The results are all above in the charts.
Summary, Verizon’s marketing insists on the best 3g network available. “Can you hear me now”. Service everywhere. But comparing it to our AT&T, at least here, AT&T just kills it.

WeBe++ 1.1 Update: PS3 Buttons & Cursors
Author: mringwal // Category: Development, News, RepositoryThe first version of WeBe++ lacked one important feature: Cursor support – a severe problem for AppleTV 2G users. And for the large number of PS3 users, operating their device without these geometric symbol buttons (triangle, square, cross, and circle) wasn’t fun either. The new update solves both by a special PS3 widget. Give it a try!

#ios at irc.thebigboss.org, chat.thebigboss.org, or irc.conceited.net. If you don’t have an irc client, you can connect wtih this link.
If you want a native IRC client you can use mIRC for windows or Linkinus for OSX.
Chat etiquette:
1) Please pick a decent nick name don’t use mib_34234j
2) If you have questions or need help just ask the channel and wait around. People respond as they see the question sometimes 15-20 mins later.
3) DONT TYPE IN ALL CAPS (that’s considered yelling).
4) Don’t send private messages to people without permission first. Your question should probably be asked in public and may be relevant to other users’ problems.
5) It is perfectly fine to “idle” there which means connect, stay connected even when you aren’t there. Many of us do that.
6) Have fun!
It looks like posixninja beat Musclenerd to the punch. Green poison RC5 is out and provides an untethered jailbreak. The exploit used is already known to be patched in the upcoming 4.3 firmware so it made sense to get it released as soon as possible. Currently only the OSX version is out but a Windows version is on its way out as well. You can it from http://www.greenpois0n.com/
Note: this version does not provide hacktivation.
And a note from Musclenerd:
For those having trouble getting Cydia via the GP Loader, just let redsn0w install it (don’t choose the Monte option)
For those having problems in osx v10.5.x try this: http://www.gadgetsdna.com/jailbreak-ios-4.2.1-with-greenpois0n-rc5_2-on-mac-os-x-leopard/8634
