Samsung wants you. The South Korea-based Company is making it easier than ever to jump ship from iOS to its Galaxy line with the Easy Phone Sync app. The software is free to anyone purchasing a Samsung Galaxy device, and it quickly installs on any Galaxy product, PC, or Mac.
In the most straightforward manner, it transfers media, contacts, content—and all that other stuff packed into handhelds—from iTunes to an Android-powered tablet or phone by Samsung. Users can also manage their content through iTunes to maintain preferences during the sync process.
SAMSUNG CUSTOMERS NOW ABLE TO TRANSFER CONTENT FROM IOS TO ANDROID FOR FREE
Exclusive licensing agreement makes Easy Phone Sync available on Samsung Galaxy devices 22nd June 2012, London, UK – Samsung Mobile UK today announced it will be making Easy Phone Sync available for free to anyone purchasing a Samsung Galaxy device. Easy Phone Sync is a simple new way for people to transfer their iPhone and iTunes media – including music, videos, podcasts, pictures, contacts and text messages – to a Samsung Galaxy device including the new Galaxy S III.
As part of an exclusive licensing agreement with Media Mushroom Applications, Samsung is making Easy Phone Sync available for free for UK customers to transfer content from their iOS device to their Samsung Galaxy device in a few simple clicks. As well as being able to access DRM free content they have purchased from iTunes music, customers can continue to use iTunes software on their PC to manage their music, videos and podcasts and keep their Android device in sync with it.
Simon Stanford, Vice President, Telecommunications and Networks, Samsung UK and Ireland said: “We’re really proud to announce the launch of this new application and can’t wait to hear what our new and existing customers think of it. We know that traditionally iPhone users have been reluctant to switch to an Android device because they couldn’t use iTunes to manage their content. Easy Phone Sync means people can now enjoy their iTunes content on a Samsung Galaxy phone. What’s more is that it’s really easy for them to do, and literally takes five minutes to set up.”
Easy Phone Sync is available to download now for both PCs and Macs in conjunction with an app for Samsung Android devices.
Apples iOS 6, the next major update to the iPhone makers mobile operating system, was unleashed yesterday evening.
Okay, so how do you get it? First you need to make sure you have a compatible device in hand. iOS 6 will support the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and the new but as-yet-unavailable iPhone 5 (which will hit stores tomorrow), as well as the iPad 2, the new third-generation iPad, and the fourth-gen iPod Touch.
If your device isnt on this list, it wont be able to run iOS 6, and it might be time to consider upgrading to a new phone or tablet. Additionally, some of the devices that are supported wont get every single feature. For example, the iPhone 3GS wont have any of the new Siri features. How to get iOS 6 in four easy steps
1. Update iTunes If you havent recently updated iTunes, take a moment to check whether youre running version 10.7. Launch iTunes. Go to Help > Check for Updates. You want to update iTunes if you use it to back up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. Backing up with iTunes has one very big advantage over backing up with iCloud: Space. With iCloud, you have 5GB of free space (with more available if you pay for it), but with iTunes and your own computer, youre likely to have a lot more room to save your phone or tablet data.
2. Back up your device This step may be the single most important one to follow. Back up your stuff! With the latest version of iTunes installed, you can go ahead and back up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch using iTunes. To do this, connect your device to your computer and launch iTunes. Make sure iCloud is turned off on your iPhone or iPad. You cant create backups using iTunes when iCloud is enabled. Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, and turn off the iCloud Backup switch.
Then in iTunes, right click (or Ctrl-click) on your device, which appears in the leftmost pane under Devices, and select Back Up. Alternatively, if you have enough space, back up using iCloud. Check out this article for full instructions on how to go about this.
3. Update to iOS 6 You can update to iOS 6 wirelessly, also known as over-the-air (OTA), which for most people with a good Wi-Fi connection will be the simplest method, but it could take much longer than the second method, which Ill explain afterwards.
On your device, go to: Settings > General > Software Update Youll see instructions there to download and install iOS 6. Alternatively, you can update your software via iTunes. This is the method I used, and which I recommend.
Plug your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch into your computer with the USB cord and launch iTunes (if it doesnt open automatically). On the left side of iTunes, find your device, for example, "Jills Phone," and click on it. In the centre of the screen, youll see "Version" and a button "Check for Update." Click "Check for Update" (see the above screenshot).
A dialog box will tell you that a new software version is available. Select "Download and Update" or just "Download."
iOS 5.0.1 is out from past couple of weeks but still an Ultrasn0w update has not been released in order to unlock iPhone 3GS with BB 6.15.00 on it. A lot of users who restored iOS 5.0.1 on their iPhone 3GS but rely on unlock were stuck with a “No Service” error on their Home Screen. Yesterday we posted about Ultrasn0w fixer which is a third party solution to unlock your iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS on iOS 5.0.1 but that solution is having some problem. Some people were getting dependency issues and even developers of that tweak refused release a fix for it.
Anyhow, folks over BiPR came up with a brilliant manual Ultrasn0w patch which will fix ultrasn0w 1.2.4 and make it work on iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.0.1. Don’t panic it’s an easy process and we tried it personally and we can confirm that it works for iPhone 3GS iOS 5.0.1. Important:By following this method you can ONLY unlock iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.0.1 with iPad’s baseband 6.15.00 (which most of iPhone 3GS users are running now). DO NOT try it on iPhone 4.
How To Unlock iPhone 3GS On iOS 5.0.1 BB 6.15.00 By Patching Ultrasn0w 1.2.4:
Things you will need during this process:
Jailbroken iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.0.1 with baseband 6.15.00 (If you’re not jailbroken on iOS 5.0.1 you can follow our complete step by step guide to jailbreak it using Sn0wbreeze )
Before you begin: Take out SIM card from your iPhone Step 1: Download Ultrasn0w 1.2.4 patch file from the link above and extract it on your desktop. Step 2: Connect your iPhone 3GS to computer via USB cable. Step 3: Run iExplorer which you downloaded from the link above, it will automatically detect your iPhone 3GS and display your iPhone 3GS’s files in Windows Explorer like view. Step 4: Navigate to raw file system/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support/ Step 5: Before making further changes, back-upCommCentreClassic file by renaming it to CommCentreClassicOld and to be on the safe side save a copy of it locally on your computer as well. Step 6: Copy and Paste CommCentreClassic file which you downloaded and extracted on desktop in Step 1 Step 7: Now let’s get back on your iPhone 3GS, launch iFile on your iPhone 3GS and navigate to : System/Library/Frameworks/CoreTelephony.framework/Support/ Step 8: Tap on commcenterclassic, click the Blue arrow next to the file name, go to Access Permissions and set the following permissions:
User: Read, Write, Execute
Group: Read, Execute
Global: Read, Execute
Step 9: Launch Cydia from your iPhone 3GS’s homescreen and install ultrasn0w 1.2.4 from there. Step 10: Disable 3G option and Cell Data Network under Settings > General >Network. Now you can insert your SIM card BOOM! You iPhone 3GS with baseband 6.15.00 should be unlocked on iOS 5.0.1 now. If you face any problems during this process feel free to contact us, we’ve tested this process and we can confirm that it works perfectly fine.
If an Ultrasn0w update comes for iOS 5.0.1 which is expected very soon all you have to do is replace the patched file with your back-up file and re-run ultrasn0w
Just a quick heads-up: notcom has just updated TinyUmbrella to support iPhone 4S 5.0.1b “9A406″. Although we cannot exploit/restore iPhone 4S SHSHs we still should save them just in case. Download TinyUmbrella for Mac and Windows here…
Earlier today, the iPhone Dev Team released RedSn0w 0.9.13dev1 to jailbreak the iOS 6 beta on certain iOS devices. Because this jailbreak is obviously aimed at developers only, the process and the results are a tad bit different that normal.
If you’re a developer, and you have an iPhone 4, 3GS, or iPod touch 4th generation running iOS 6 beta, then step inside as we showcase how to jailbreak with this development version of RedSn0w.
Note: This is aimed at developers only. Again, this will not install Cydia on your device, will not hacktivate, and it’s suggested that unlockers who want to preserve the baseband, stay away. This only works with iPhone 4, 3GS, and iPod touch 4th gen. No A5 Devices. This is a tethered jailbreak.
Step 2: Click Extras > Select IPSW, and point to your iOS 6 firmware file for your device. Step 3: Click back and Click jailbreak. Place your device into DFU mode, and the jailbreak should begin. RedSn0w will prompt you to Install SSH. Make sure that option is checked, and click Next. the jailbreak will proceed until completion. Step 4: Once on your Home screen, go back to RedSn0w and click Extras > Just boot. This will perform a tethered boot. You will need to place your device into DFU mode again to proceed. Step 5: Once the tethered boot is completed, your device will go back to your Home screen. Congratulations, your device is now jailbroken. You can now use SSH, or another iPhone file navigation utility to browse the default file structure. This may allow you to install apps and tweaks manually if need be. Again, this is for advanced users only, as no GUI interface is there to help you through this process.
ipswDownloader is a new application that will allow you to download the appropriate firmware with few clicks to your device, moreover it will tell you if you can jailbreak and unlock the downloaded firmware or not.
Once you start ipswDownloader application you will only have to choose your device and firmware version for download, then click Download and choose a location to save your .ipsw file. Downloading firmware will start immediately, and you can easly monitor download speed, size and all information.
Theres a micro-tool that allows you to easily know if you can run the jailbreak or not, by which jailbreak tool and if you can unlock the downladed firmware baseband or not.
MuscleNerd of iPhone Dev-team has just announced some important news on his Twitter account. MuscleNerd has post a screen-shot of the upcoming version of Redns0w 0.9.9 b5 which will have major update, the Dev-team will merge PwnageTool into Redsn0w.
What that means, you will be able to cook your custom firmware from Redsn0w directly which was the major advantage of PwnageTool and Sn0wbreeze. Both PwnageTool (for Mac) and Sn0wbreeze (for Windows) are being used mainly by who rely on unlock for their iPhones as they can preserve the unlockable baseband so they can unlock their iPhones with ultrasn0w. Now Redsn0w new feature will kill the both PwnageTool and Sn0wbreeze for ever, as Redsn0w is always available for both Mac and Windows. The only case that the Dev-team will upgrade PwnageTool is only in case of untethered jailbreaks.
Thanks Dev-team about your continuous hard work and improvements. This is really awesome.
Due to the extensive work put in by the jailbreak community, we’ve the luxury nowadays of a tether-jailbreak being released simultaneously to the update, and Apple’s latest and greatest version of iOS is no exception.
Those of you who have – or are planning to – upgrade to iOS 5 might be pleased to learn that it can be jailbroken (tethered for now), allowing you to add all of those hacks and tweaks you know and love.
It has been queried on numerous occasions, with Apple going the whole nine yards in terms of updates, as to whether there would even be any need to jailbreak anymore. After all, unless you’re simply stealing apps and games, most of the Cydia tweaks regarding Safari, notifications, SMS etc have all been improved upon, right? Well, while the improvements may appease many into sticking with stock, it’s important to remember that there are some jailbreakthat just won’t make it to the Cupertino company’s default software bundle. SBSettings is a prime example, bringing control of your iDevice’s vital features using a simple activation method.
Thanks to the work of the iPhone Dev-Team, you can tether-jailbreak your iOS 5 device using Redsn0w 0.9.9b5 by following this simple tutorial
Things to remember:
This will not work with iPad 2, nor the iPhone 4S.
This is a tethered jailbreak, meaning that it will require you to connect the phone to a computer running Redsn0w whenever you power up the phone.
As has been the case before, by pursuing the tethered route, if and when an untethered jailbreak does surface, the chances are you’ll have to restore in order to utilize it.
With that out of the way, let’s get started!
Step 1: Download and install the new iTunes 10.5 on your Windows PC or Mac. Connect your iOS device with your computer and make sure you make a backup of everything. NOTE: Those of you who rely on Gevey SIM or Ultrasn0w unlock should skip to “For Unlockers Only” section found at the bottom. Step 2: Now upgrade your iOS device to the final version of iOS 5 using iTunes 10.5 on your Windows PC or Mac. Download links for final version of iOS 5 can be found here.
Step 3: Download the new Redsn0w 0.9.9b5 for Windows or Mac.
Step 4: Click on the “Jailbreak” option, select “Install Cydia” and follow the onscreen instructions to enter DFU mode. Once you’re in DFU mode, Redsn0w will perform the jailbreak (without having to have you select the IPSW manually! YES, the new Redsn0w can fetch all the required files automatically from Apple’s servers).
Booting into Tethered-Jailbreak Mode: Step 4: Once you’ve installed Cydia, you will need to boot the device into a tethered jailbroken state. Go into DFU mode, and then in “Extras”, opt for “Just Boot”. Redsn0w will subsequently boot your device as tethered. Note: Due to the nature of this jailbreak, you will have to repeat this booting sequence every time you wish to reboot your device. For Unlockers Only: If you rely on a Gevey SIM or Ultrasn0w (for old basebands only) unlock, DO NOT update to the stock firmware update offered by iTunes. Instead, use this latest version of Redsn0w to cook a custom firmware file without the upgraded baseband so that you can unlock it with Ultrasn0w or Gevey SIM. To do this, click on “Extras” option and then select “Custom IPSW” option. Select the required iOS 5 IPSW firmware file, and let Redsn0w make the custom firmware for you. Once done, enter Pwned DFU mode by selecting “Pwned DFU” from Redsn0w’s Extras option, and then restore to this custom firmware using iTunes. Once done, unlock your iPhone using Gevey SIM, or the updated Ultrasn0w.
Alternatively, unlockers can also use Sn0wbreeze for jailbreaking iPhone on iOS 5 with preserved baseband.
This video was shot when iOS 5 GM was released.
Today’s public iOS 5 release is exactly same as last week’s GM release.
If p0sixninja’s revelation at MyGreatFest, backed up by i0n1c’s recent tweets are anything to go by, we could have a very swiftly released untethered jailbreak. Without giving too much away, i0n1c told us that an untethered solution was "covered", so we now await news from the Chronic Dev Team – the group behind the Greenpois0n 4.2.1 – with great excitement and anticipation.
iH8sn0w has finally updated sn0wbreeze. Sn0wbreeze 2.8b1 is now available for download and will jailbreak iOS 5 beta 1 tethered on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
sn0wbreeze v2.8 BETA 1 Release Notes: ————————————– * Supports iOS 5.0 BETA 1 (9A5220p) * Supports the following Devices: - iPhone 3GS - iPhone 4 [GSM] - iPhone 4 [CDMA] - iPod Touch 3G - iPod Touch 4 - iPad 1G ————————————– * Props to @MuscleNerd for the kernel patches. :) ————————————– * THIS IS INTENDED FOR DEVELOPERS ONLY!!! * This sn0wbreeze does NOT add afc2 or Hacktivate to prevent users from removing the UDID check after jailbreak. * UNLOCKERS SHOULD STAY AWAY!!! * This is a /TETHERED/ jailbreak via iBooty. ————————————– Now available at: http://ih8sn0w.com/sb28b1 ————————————– // iH8sn0w
Please keep in mind that iOS 5 beta 1 jailbreak is tethered as of now and will require you to connect your jailbroken device to the computer every time you boot it up
The iPhone Dev-Team has released RedSn0w 0.9.8b4 for developers to jailbreak iOS 5 Beta 4. Remember this is a tethered jailbreak.
In conjunction with iOS5 beta4 being released to iOS developers, redsn0w 0.9.8b4 is now available for jailbreak app developers. Remember, its a tethered jailbreak right now so youll need to use redsn0w to boot into a jailbroken state at each power cycle.
NOTE: It appears that by design, the OTA update that became available starting with iOS 5 beta4 will *not* be automatically applied to jailbroken devices. Thats a relief to those who dont want to lose their jailbreak via OTA pushes. If youre jailbroken, youll need to use the standard iTunes method to get to iOS 5 beta4.
You can download the new version of RedSn0w from here: Windows, Mac.
iPhone Dev-Team has released ultrasn0w 1.2.1 unlock to support iOS 4.3.1 unlock on old basebands and to fix signal issues which reported by some users after jailbreaking iPhone 4, 3GS on iOS 4.3.1
We’ve pushed out the 4.3.1 compatibility fix for ultrasn0w in Cydia — it’s now at version 1.2.1. If you’re not already at 4.3.1 and you need the unlock, please be sure you understand how to get to 4.3.1 using a custom IPSW that doesn’t update your baseband.
This isn’t a new unlock! It’s to allow those who are already unlocked to use FW 4.3.1. It also fixes the signal bar issue for those who aren’t using the unlock but retain an older baseband intentionally.
AFTER INSTALLING ULTRASN0W 1.2.1, PLEASE REBOOT YOUR iPHONE using the normal “slide to power off” swipe. T-Mobile users in the USA also should disable 3G mode in Settings->General->Network.
iPhone 3GS preparation for unlock: you have to jailbreak and update your iPhone 3GS to 6.15.00 baseband on iOS 4.1 / 4.2.1
Step 1: You have to jailbreak your iPhone 4 / 3GS on iOS 4.3.1 with preserving your old baseband,
Step 2: Once you jailbreak yoour device, you can now unlock your iPhone 4 / 3GS with Ultrasn0w 1.2.1 from Cydia. To do so, follow the steps below:
Press to launch Cydia Installer from your SpringBoard.
Press to select the Manage tab at the bottom of the screen.
Press to select the Sources button.
Now touch on Edit and then on Add. You will be prompted to enter the URL of the source. Type http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com and touch on Add Source to add this repository.
Cydia will now automatically update your sources by following a series of automated steps.
After installation is completed. Search for “ultrasn0w 1.2.1” in Cydia and install this application. This app will automatically unlock your iPhone so that you can use it with any carrier.
Step 3: Almost done, now simply reboot your iPhone and you should have a fully unlocked iPhone 3GS / 4 on iOS 4.3.1.
Yesterday was a big day starting from the iPhone 4S to the recently released iOS 5 GM for developers. Since iOS 5 GM is installable by everyone, you may have updated to iOS 5 by now. In case you didn’t like the tethered jailbreak, found a few problems on your iOS device or discovered some apps that were not supported, that you desperately needed… you’re in luck: you can downgrade iOS 5 to iOS 4.3.3, iOS 4.3.5 or older.
Before you downgrade, please remember you can only downgrade your iDevice firmware if, and only if, you have saved your SHSH blobs somewhere safely, hopefully with Saurik’s Cydia server, or locally on your machine. From now on, I will assume you have saved your blobs on Saurik’s Cydia server.
STEP 1: To start with, you need to make sure you have a copy of iOS 4.3.5 or whatever firmware you need to downgrade for your device which you can find and download from here. STEP 2: Next, you need to make sure your hosts file is pointing to Saurik’s server, and not Apple’s. If you haven’t done this then please check this guide.
Alternatively, use TinyUmbrella to make iTunes look at Cydia’s Server in the Advanced options.
STEP 3: Now plug in your iOS device, and switch it off, but leave it plugged in.
STEP 4: Put your device into DFU mode, our guide here.
STEP 5: Select your firmware manually to restore to. (Shift on Windows, and option on a Mac)
It says that it will talk to Apple when really, it is talking to the Cydia servers.
Hey presto! Your device should now have downgraded without a hitch…
But, should your phone should now have an error, such as error 1015, DO NOT PANIC! This is normal and has a quick fix. Just download anduse Recboot to kick it out of recovery mode –
Apple has just released iOS 4.3.5 ipsw firmware for iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod touch 4G, 3G, iPad 2, 1 and Apple TV 2G. As most of you know that iOS 4.3.4 was released on July 15. iOS 4.3.5 firmware come to fix a security vulnerability with certificate validation.
Download iOS 4.3.5 firmware IPSW files (Direct Links) - Official from Apple:
If you decided to unlock your iPhone 4, 3GS on iOS 5 so you have two ways the
First way: is to use Ultrasnow 1.2.4 which has released by the Dev- team to unlock iPhone 4, 3GS on iOS 5 which supported these baseband 01.59.00 / 04.26.08 / 05.11.07 / 05.12.01 / 05.13.04 / 06.15.00.
Second way: is to use Gevey SIM in order to unlock iPhone 4 on iOS 5 Gevey Sim supported baseband 01.59.00 / 02.10.00 / 03.10.1 / 04.10.1 but notes if you have an iPhone 4 that is currently unlocked with a Gevey SIM card, you can unlock your iPhone on the iOS 5 firmware with the same Gevey SIM card as long as you preserve your baseband while updating to the iOS 5 firmware. So the difference between UltraSn0w and the Gevey SIM card, is that UltraSn0w only supports a limited number of older basebands while the Gevey SIM card supports a limited number of newer basebands.
Days ago we showed you how To Unlock iPhone 4, 3GS On iOS 5 using Ultrasn0w 1.2.4 so how to unlock iphone using Gevey Sim on iOS 5 ? here’s the answer below. Download Required:

Just a quick heads-up: iH8sn0w pushed a new update to sn0wbreeze which brings the software to v2.3b1. The new updated comes with a lot of *good stuff* such as a tethered jailbreak for iOS 4.3, stock update to iOS 4.3 with baseband preservation, and a real fast tethered boot tool. You need:
How to: 1. Even if there are a couple of new features in this release, the functionality of the tool remains the same. Just follow this sn0wbreeze tutorial and you should be good. The only thing you need to pay attention to, when creating a custom iOS 4.3 ipsw, is step 6 of the tutorial. iH8sn0w added a new option which allows you to update your iOS device to a stock iOS 4.3 while preserving your baseband. Other than that, the process is exactly the same. Just create your custom ipsw, and shift+restore your iOS device. 2. To boot into the tethered kernel, you need to use iBooty which is included with this release of sn0wbreeze. You will notice a new iBooty icon on your desktop. Just open it, select your device, and run it. Can’t get any easier than this.

Well you had to do it didn’t you. You just had to taste that forbidden fruit… and now you have been cast from the garden, and are sitting in the dark… alone… with a pretty black brick that used to be your beloved iPhone. Attempts to roll back have left you frustrated and your soul seeks guidance… Not to fret! We are here to help bring you back from the abyss!
Before we get started, here is a few items you will need to acquire…
Some ice for your head, to sooth it from all the pounding against the desk
A cold drink (this may take a min)
Now that we are all Squared away there, you will need to download the following items before you can proceed.
The IPSW of choice (I would recommend 4.3.3 as it is jailbreakable and still being signed by apple. I can’t think of any logical reason why you would want to roll back further… But, your are not the logical type now are you (as proved by your updating to a buggy beta without any means of correcting your own mistake! What were you thinking!). Just make sure you have your SHSH stored with Cydia if you choose to go older then 4.3.3) this can be found up there in the corner under the downloads link. Just find your device and go.
TinyUmbrella. This can be found at http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com/ . Just download the version that will work for your system. I’m assuming your on a Mac, so this guide will be based on that system. Otherwise it’s similar, so follow along anyway.
iTunes 10.5 beta. You should have this already as you needed it to install 5.0beta, but just google it, if for some reason you don’t already have it. (I can’t link that here, sorry folks)
Ok that was fun. Now what? The rest of this walk threw assumes you have at least a somewhat higher IQ then that bricked iPhone your holding. If not, stop here and check craig’s list, perhaps someone there can help you.
If you are wanting to roll back to 4.3.3 (which should be most of you who are not drooling on themselves), follow these easy steps
Open iTunes
Plug in your device
Enter DFU mode
Steps to enter DFU mode:
Turn device off
Hold power button for 3 seconds
Without releasing power button, hold down home button for 10 seconds
Release power button, but continue to hold the home button until iTunes recognizes your iPhone in recovery mode. If you did it right, it should just have a black screen with no connect to iTunes logo.
5. Hold down the option key and click the restore button in iTunes
6. ```wse to wherever you have your IPSW saved and select it. 7. iTunes will give you some gibberish about wiping out all your data… I know you might not be able to read it, just click the flashing ok button. 8. Sit back and do whatever it is you do while your computer is working (just try not to drool on the keyboard.) 9. If you are using an iPhone 4, you should be done. If not, you have received some sort of error more then likely. This is normal. Open TinyUmbrella and click the exit from restore button.
10. YOUR DONE!!! Be sure to put your helmet back on before you go outside
NOTE: if you have changed your host file for cydia, you have to change it back to use this guide. TinyUmbrella will do this for you in the advanced tab.
