gotch ya, so instead of manually installing bsd subsystem and the open ssh etc... this method automatically does it for you ?? <<< i think thats what it is !

[Kyle Matthews]

Sorry guys, I thought I made it clear. Pre-modded firmware is what this means.

We will be unable to host these firmware due to legal issues, but this IS a huge step.

[tntmorgan]

so the tools you're publishing just allow us to do our own firmware mods? if so, I would have no idea how to do that. is there instructions? will these tools be made for pcs as well as macs?

if someone could give a brief overview of how to accomplish these awesome prepackaged firmwares are made that would be great.

[xxwinxx]

due to legal issues? So does it mean it really has some illegalities about it? :-(

[Kyle Matthews]

First of all, this work was done by the iPhone Dev Team, not myself. Second, nothing is published yet.

When it IS released publicly, I'm sure we'll get ya'll instructions on how to use it.

[tntmorgan]

so after reading the devs' post on pwnage again, I understand what they're giving us is the tools to pwn our phone and make our own ipsw files.

Now I have a better question: how hard is it to tweak your ipsw file to custom mod it like we do with customize, smd, installer? what legality issues are involved with this? (or where could I find out?)

It would be nice if we could actually be able to utilize ad2p to listen to music. cool stuff guys.

Sweet great job guys mmi +1 apple -1 sweet

[danayanch]

Thank you dev team. Finally you know who is out of the picture. Ahh justice.

[secretmrx]

hope its released soon ae

I hope its released soon if not already

I really hope this .ipsw patches comes out on windows

[jrlederer]

a general question to those who are knowledgeable on programming (enough so to compile a pre-modded ipfw package):

while I do understand that it is violation of copyright to distribute these firmwares in their entirety, I wonder if it'd be possible to distribute a patchfile that contains just the changed files and have the user run these legal patches on their legally obtained Apple distributed firmware files as a workaround?

please correct me if I'm mistaken, but as a computer engineering student, this seems logical and possible. Any thoughts?

Thanks and hope everyone is doing well. The news this thread brings really is substantial. Thanks to everyone who makes all this possible. [[standing ovation]]

If you don't know what M33 V4 is....... take a search in your google box.

[ipodtouch-freak]

you just do something to your ipod touch and than with modded firmware through itunes it works? because im on 1.1.2 and updating via ziphone isnt working because of "minor maior"
does it work with ipod 16gb?

[MrBucket101]

im so very confused

With these tools will it be possible to make a screen shot per say of everything that is on our iPhone?

So our ipsw file will contain apps mods etc that we did... OR will we need to modify a stock ipsw file.

i think it would be awesome if they could make a custom ipsw out of what was on our iPhone, so that way we could all have sort of a "restore" ipsw

[jkfox121]

This is great, I'll finally be able to install Cydia Packager without having to have Nullriver Installer.

The possibilities are amazing!

Is there any chance of bricking your phone with this method as Ziphone even tells you that there is a chance that you may brick your phone with Ziphone if you dont know exactly what you are doing.
