APN: mms
MMSC: http://192.168.210.104/mmrelay.com
MMS Proxy: 192.168.210.104:8080
MMS Max Message Size: 307200

i most likely believe u need to take off the .com

http://192.168.210.104/mmrelay.com is exactly the settings that bmobile has there with their carrier update, unless you think their own carrier update is wrong.

[Parvin]

I using the .app and it works for me.

Can't someone just test the .com and find out if it works?

Also, I never used anything for the Max Message Size

[SRASC]

The .com is what I have. Worked the last time I used it not too long after the carrier update. I believe it was .app prior, so my guess is it will work on iPhones that have the 10.0 carrier update & .com would be for those that have 10.1.
About the Message Size if I remember correctly that was inserted after the carrier update as well. I remember when looking through the plist that it was there as well.

References to a new iPod touch have been found in the first beta of iOS 5 by iFans forum member shamrock.

well, I was rooting through the OS and I stumbled across this in the fairplayd daemon. This is on the iPod touch 4 on iOS 5 beta 1.

The screenshot below shows references to an iPod4,1 and an iPod4,2 device. The current iPod is 4,1; however, the 4,2 device doesn't exist, yet.

Judging by Apple's typical naming scheme, the next iPod release will be a minor update. A major update would get a model identifier of 5,1.

According to a recent survey, smartphone purchasers in Europe are twice as likely to buy Apple's iPhone than a Google Android device as their next handset.

An early look at the findings from the Yankee Group's 2011 European Mobile User Study revealed that 40 percent of European smartphone buyers plan on making the iPhone their next device, as compared to 19 percent for Android, BGR reported on Thursday. Also, 17 percent of respondents went with Research in Motion's BlackBerry, while 15 percent chose Nokia.

“These findings highlight the continued strength of Apple in the European smartphone market and, in particular, its phenomenal brand appeal,” said Declan Lonergan, research VP at Yankee Group. “The data also highlights the enormous challenges faced by Nokia and RIM to retain mind share and market share in this increasingly dynamic and competitive marketplace.”

The study polled 5,000 consumers and 2,250 employees and IT decision-makers in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the U.K. Employees also said in the study that they are 58 percent more productive during long-distance travel with a tablet, and mobile users tended to have more than one device, switching between screens depending on context.

The findings come as analysts have suggested that Android may be poised lose some of its market share gains after two straight years of growth. Android lost share to the iPhone in the U.S. during the March quarter, driven in part by sales of the iPhone 4 on Verizon, which reached 2.2 million units by the end of March.

Europe is Apple's second best-performing region for the iPhone. As of the March quarter, Apple's smartphone market share stands at just above 20.8 percent in the area, behind only the handset's 30 percent market share in the U.S. By comparison, Android currently comprises 35.7 percent of smartphone sales in Western Europe.

Was thinking it would be a good idea to link custom firmwares so that people could easily update to the latest or in some cases last firmware for their particular iPhone with no problem, so 3.1.3 for the 2G, 4.2.1 for the 3G & for now 4.3.3 for the 3GS & 4. (preferably whole not part).
In that same regard any important links or how to's that may have been posted in this thread to be highlighted in the first post, cause we can't expect someone to search all 211 pages...

iOS 3.1.3 for iPhone (2G)

Wey M_2nr ... he had some links to custom ipsw's

I know the MMS Max Size is new though. Thanks guys. And SRASC thanks for clearing it up

I'll fix my post on teh blog.

and there are all the links. Single links on Filesonic.

Duane doesnt mind us posting IPSW's but the reason why Pwnagetool is designed in such a way is because I believe the distribution of IPSW's has some legal implications with Apple.

Also, the owner of that site (mahmood) requested that we dont post links all over the web as well

Bungie has posted on their official blog an interview with iOS developer Daniel Blezek who has been working on porting Marathon to the iPad. Blezek has been working on this project for some time but there were initially questions about the legal issue related to distributing Marathon's original level packs.

Based on notes from the interview, however, it seems that this is now a Bungie-sanctioned port.

For many, Marathon will invoke a wave of nostalgia; for others, this will be the first experience with the seminal Mac FPS. I hope all players appreciate Bungie's commitment to their fans. It's not every company who would support bringing a 16 year old game back to life!

Marathon is a first person shooter developed by Bungie Software for the Macintosh in 1994. It was a Mac exclusive launch and was released shortly after Doom first debuted for the PC. Bungie later went on to be acquired by Microsoft and released the popular Halo game series for the Xbox. Halo was originally developed for the Mac as well, but the release was delayed after Microsoft's acquisition.

The iPad version of the game has reportedly been submitted and will be released for free.

Apple makes more money from selling one Mac computer than HP makes from selling seven PCs, according to research done by Matt Richman, a fifteen year old high school student.

Richmond notes that last quarter Apple brought in $4.976 billion in revenue from selling 3.76 million Macs with an average price of $1,323.40. At a 28% gross margin estimated by Jefferies analyst Peter Misek, Apple makes $370.55 for every Mac sold.

HP's PC Group brought in $9.415 billion in revenue and turned $533 in profit last quarter. Their operating margin was 5.66%. Richmond notes that if HP spent 1% of their total revenue on operations then their profit margin was 6.66%; however, he used an generous 8% profit margin for his calculations.

The average selling price of a Mac increased 5.71% over the last two quarters. If we apply that growth rate to NPD’s data that says the ASP of a PC was $615 in November, then the ASP of a PC today is $650.12. Multiply that number by an 8% profit margin and HP makes $52.00 for every PC they sell.

So Apple makes more money selling one computer than HP does selling seven!

Infographic Labs has published a summary of iPhone 5 rumors laid out as an artistic renaissance style sketch.



oh & here's another detailing the history between Microsoft & Apple


------

A report by Chinese newspaper Commercial Times claims that Apple is working on the next version of its A5 chip, which will be called the A6.

Rumors surrounding the next version of the iPhone – the iPhone 5, V or 4S, whatever you like to call it – are getting hotter by the day! In the last four days alone, four separate rumors related to the next-gen iPhone have been covered on Redmond Pie alone.

Today’s rumor comes from Chinese newspaper Commerical Times which claims that the A6 chip will manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). The newspaper cites analyst Dan Heyler who is a semiconductor analyst at Merrill Lynch, a financial management and advisory company:

TSMC stands a good chance of winning orders for Apple’s A6 processors, the paper quoted Dan Heyler, a semiconductor analyst with Merrill Lynch in Taipei, as indicating. But even if TSMC grabs all Apple’s tablet chip orders for 2012, sales generated from the orders will account for only 2% of TSMC’s overall sales for the year, Heyler was quoted as saying.

Keep in mind that the A4 and A5 chips were manufactured by Samsung Electronics. If TSMC wins the orders of the A6 processor for the iPhone 6, it would certainly be a loss for Samsung:

Apple reportedly continues to contract Samsung Electronics to manufacture its A5 processors, using the foundry’s 45nm process, the Commercial Times quoted industry sources as saying in a separate report. One thing for sure is that TSMC will not gain any orders from Apple in 2011, the paper observed.

Weighing in at a hefty 817MB for the iPhone 4, build 9A5248d just hit the Developer site.

& adds Wi-Fi syncing (for Macs only)



(more to come surely).

[phreak]

Serious..

Apple has blocked the ability to unlock the iPhone 4 using the Gevey SIM in iOS 5.0b2, according to MuscleNerd.

it's surprising Apple closed Gevey interposer hole in b2 rather than waiting until final (maybe they were under pressure)

Gevey's SIM Interposer was able to unlock the iPhone 4 by force activating the baseband using the emergency dialer. MuscleNerd notes that its unlikely Gevey will try to battle Apple while iOS 5 is in the beta period.
....

Guess in a way this was just expected.. Pity for iPhone 4 support for iOS 5 without factory unlock though..

[mojosodope]

^ closed for now


loaded beta 2 onto my AT&T phone, i'll pop a gevey pro in and begin to experiment, probably nothings going to come out of it but who knows

*Update* - as expected, little experiment failed, should note that beta 2 is much more stable and carries a baseband version of 04.11.06

[M_2NR]

i hope gevey does something. My padna will be pissed

[SRASC]

It looks like Apple is about to aggressively combat the “replay attacks” that have until now allowed users to use iTunes to restore to previous firmware versions using saved SHSH blobs.

Those of you who have been jailbreaking for a while have probably heard us periodically warn you to “save your blobs” for each firmware using either Cydia or TinyUmbrella (or even the “copy from /tmp during restore” method for advanced users). Saving your blobs for a given firmware on your specific device allows you to restore *that* device to *that* firmware even after Apple has stopped signing it. That’s all about to change.

Starting with the iOS5 beta, the role of the “APTicket” is changing — it’s being used much like the “BBTicket” has always been used. The LLB and iBoot stages of the boot sequence are being refined to depend on the authenticity of the APTicket, which is uniquely generated at each and every restore (in other words, it doesn’t depend merely on your ECID and firmware version…it changes every time you restore, based partly on a random number). This APTicket authentication will happen at every boot, not just at restore time. Because only Apple has the crypto keys to properly sign the per-restore APTicket, replayed APTickets are useless.

This will only affect restores starting at iOS5 and onward, and Apple will be able to flip that switch off and on at will (by opening or closing the APTicket signing window for that firmware, like they do for the BBTicket). geohot’s limera1n exploit occurs before any of this new checking is done, so tethered jailbreaks will still always be possible for devices where limera1n applies. Also, restoring to pre-5.0 firmwares with saved blobs will still be possible (but you’ll soon start to need to use older iTunes versions for that). Note that iTunes ultimately is *not* the component that matters here..it’s the boot sequence on the device starting with the LLB.

Although it’s always been just “a matter of time” before Apple started doing this (they’ve always done this with the BBTicket), it’s still a significant move on Apple’s part (and it also dovetails with certain technical requirements of their upcoming OTA “delta” updates).

Note: although there may still be ways to combat this, a beta period is really not the time or place to discuss them. We’re just letting you know what Apple has already done in their exisiting beta releases — they’ve stepped up their game!

[S_2NR]

& adds Wi-Fi syncing (for Macs only)


so is it safe to assume wireless sync will only be available for macs?
or is it just for the beta.

[SRASC]

I'll think its just for the beta. After all the beta is supposed to be available for developers only & to be able to use the iPhone SDK you have to have a Mac.

Apple Will Have TWO New iPhones In September

Apple will be releasing two new iPhones this September, says Deutsche Bank analyst Chris Whitmore in a note this morning.
It will release the iPhone 5, and the iPhone 4S, a "mid-range" prepaid smartphone priced at $350. The data plans would work similarly to the iPad. Users could sign up and pay for what they need when they need it.
"With Nokia and RIMM struggling, the time is right for Apple to aggressively penetrate the mid range smart-phone market," says Whitmore.
If Whitmore's report is accurate it would confirm a lot of rumors we've heard this year around the iPhone.
Since February reports have mentioned a cheaper iPhone to expand Apple's market and fend off the rapid growth of Android. We've also read conflicting reports about whether or not Apple is releasing a redesigned phone for iPhone 5 or just a mild internal upgrade producing a faster version of the iPhone 4.

^^^^^ i was hoping this would happen! Lets hope its true

[scientist]

I'm on the iOS5 Beta 2 now...working pretty stable, installed it sat night

[Bezman]

mentions nothing if the prepaid smart phone would be sold unlocked, also bmob would rpob charge $9000 TTD for the $350 USD iPhone 4S anyway

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

I have a feeling that if Apple makes the 4s a "mid-range" phone the iPhone 5 will be the "Mac Pro" of their phone line up and sell for the same price as a apple laptop!

[SRASC]

It looks like iOS5 will finally let Apple put a stop to some of the jailbreakers they've been after. The latest beta prevents users from downgrading to earlier versions of iOS. Meanwhile, untethered jailbreaks are effectively out the window.

The iPhone Dev Team found that the role of SHSH blobs jailbreakers have been using up to now has been undone by Apple's new design. The change centers around APTicket authentication:

Starting with the iOS5 beta, the role of the "APTicket" is changing - it's being used much like the "BBTicket" has always been used. The LLB and iBoot stages of the boot sequence are being refined to depend on the authenticity of the APTicket, which is uniquely generated at each and every restore (in other words, it doesn't depend merely on your ECID and firmware version…it changes every time you restore, based partly on a random number). This APTicket authentication will happen at every boot, not just at restore time. Because only Apple has the crypto keys to properly sign the per-restore APTicket, replayed APTickets are useless.

Tethered jailbreaks will still be possible for people using geohot's limera1n exploit as it takes place before the APTicket authentication. It's just uncertain how the Dev Team and other jailbreakers will respond to the new developments.

(Well this stinks! )

How can I do this? I have an unlocked iPhone 4 not jail broken.

[scientist]

Get someone with a developer account to add your device ID to their account....Once its there, simply do a device restore with the iOS5 ipsw.

[src1983]

I don't know anyone with such an account

This sucks......

[Parvin]

Now I really enjoy having 4.2.1 yes ... all this drama with the iOS 5 ... sigh

[mojosodope]

http://www.macrumors.com/2011/06/27/all-no-commitment-att-iphone-4-purchases-coming-unlocked/

interesting...

called AT&T already, they still don't unlock current iPhones but I guess they're making some sort of headway... :[

[M_2NR]

mentions nothing if the prepaid smart phone would be sold unlocked, also bmob would rpob charge $9000 TTD for the $350 USD iPhone 4S anyway

some other article i was hinting to it being an unlocked device as compared with some Motorola that will be released soon at 350$ contract free.
I taking all these articles with a pinch of salt as with all rumors, reports, etc.

I don't know anyone with such an account

This sucks......

You are factory unlocked i assume? IF not, then don't even consider it

There are lots of places available online where u can pay a fee and the will enlist you. Running beta software is not recommended though, lots of apps and tweaks are broken. I want to try it myself but it really isnt worth it.

Make sure your SHSH's are saved as well, because once you go up, ideally, you can't go down unless you backed up your SHSH's

_____

IDLEMIND and all other iPad 2 Users

backup your SHSH's for 4.3.3. Devs are suggesting you do just in case a jailbreak drops.

[mojosodope]

beta 2 isnt downgradable, its best to wait for the official release anyways but im running beta 2 right now on an AT&T i4 and it's pretty stable for the most part, can't wait for the GM

dude, try going from b2 to 4.3.3 using SHSH's na? i asking around for confirmation.
wrt to Musclenerd's latest post, i think it meant like iOS 5.1 to 5.0 and like beta 2 to beta 1 and not beta 2 to 4.3.3 because...

Also, restoring to pre-5.0 firmwares with saved blobs will still be possible (but you’ll soon start to need to use older iTunes versions for that)

EDIT: Only applies to iOS 5.x and beyond. iOS 4.3.3 and lower is safe once you have SHSH's and older iTunes and a limera1n exploitable device.
