On blacksn0w: RC2 won't work. Please don't try that unless you're loading it manually or enjoy restoring your phone .
I've made a patched version available, but that version doesn't auto-load on boot correctly. Meaning, you need to execute the unlock shell script after each reboot. Since I really hope that 4.0 GM is close and geohot is going to release something for 4.0 himself, I see no particular reason for improving that patch further, but your feedback is welcome.

Unpack to root preserving permissions (I think it's cd / ; tar -xzpvf archive.tgz), then run /bin/blacksnow.sh

blacksnow.sh:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
launchctl load /lib/com.apple.CommCenter.plist

Put in /usr/bin, chmod to 755

/lib/com.apple.CommCenter.plist is from http://blackra1n.com/blacksn0w.deb , use 7-Zip to extract..

/usr/lib/blacksn0w.dylib from here: http://sites.google.com/site/msftguy...edirects=0&d=1

Can someone try this out and confirm that this works? I tried it but I guess I'm doing something wrong. My iPhone freezes when executing blacksn0w.sh...

I set all files that blacksn0w.sh uses to 0777 including the script itself. I added a few things:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist;
launchctl load /lib/com.apple.CommCenter.plist;
launchctl start com.apple.CommCenter

Now it gives me this error message:

Code:

Command 'sh blacksn0w.sh' failed with return code 0 and error message
launchctl: Dubious permissions on file (skipping): /System/Library/LaunchDeamons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
nothing found to unload
launchctl: Dubious permissions on file (skipping): /lib/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
nothing found to load

755, not 777.

Would that really make the difference?

It does not hurt to test it.. Especially when it says "dubious" - suggests that ownership or file permissions are not optimal.

I know, but that error is not the main problem. And besides that, I'm back on 3.1.2, so upgrading to 4.0b4 again would take me another half an hour.
If it would really work, I'd really try it, but I doubt that. I really tried a lot of combinations of permissions on the files.
The main problem is that the phone freezes when the CommCenter is getting unloaded and the patched one getting loaded. If someone might know a solution to that, I will definitely upgrade my iPhone again to try it out.

Hmm, I think I might have a clue what's wrong with my instructions.
CommCenter has moved in 4.0 since CoreTelephony framework is no longer private.
Here's a link with all files needed, with correct perms:

Ahh, awesome! I'm going to try that right now.
