So it’s over now, our talk on the 25C3. Here you can see Bushing, Musclenerd, Pytey and Planetbeing on the stage. Thanks to everyone who visited the congress to see the talk (even if it was kind of shitty I h had to sit on the floor and was run over a few times lol) as well as the other team members who have been there, was cool to met you reallife guys.

Once the video of the presentation will be available we will leave you a link here. Usally this takes up to 2 weeks after the event to get the footage cut and posted to some of the CCC hosts.

It seems a iPhone Nano fake has turned up in chinese stores. This is NOT a real iPhone Nano, for everone who is thinking of buying one, it’s one of the many bad fakes which surfaced since the first iPhone and it s definatnly not going to make you happy.

If there will be a iPhone Nano, it will most likely be presented on macworld as rumored before.

We are curious about apple’s reaction towards this new kind of future knock-off. They seem to even copied the original iPhone Gen. 1 Box as shown on the product picture.

Noticeable is that the advertisement on made in china already been “neutralized” for publishing to most likely avoid trademark issues with apple. Can we now be curious for a new apple china crusade?

We just wanted to inform our fellow readers that the hyped venezuelan 3G unlock is a bad joke, fake, troll attemp (or what your like to call it), don’t use any of the files in the archive, it might even contain malicious code.

Why it’s a bad fake?

The only way to break 3G is find a exploit which enables us to be able to write to baseband and alter it towards a unlock.

There was said you can install unlock via bootneuter. Bootneuter is designed for 2G baseband and it’s bootloader, it’s technical impossible to have it work on 3G. XGold != SGold2. Altering the baseband on 3G via bb bootloader (like our fellow neuter does) is not possible on a XGold chipset enabled phone like the 3G. They have a very secure and unbreakable way of updating, not even flashing routines are included within the baseband for security reasons.

Other than that, the included ipsw (made with pwnage) is even for a 2G phone, not a 3G .. complete techincal understandment fail.

That blog, which is spreading this news, is talking complete bullshit. Still we have no clue what the sense of this fake action is, other than trolling the hoping iphone community, but it might be even a bad attemp to spread malicious altered files. A investigation of this pile of crap for signs of evilness is still undergoing.

What this set of files is or should be, noone knows, but it is for sure no unlock. If you are really going to force stuff this in your 3G on some stange way (not thinkign you will ever suceed) you might be sitting there with a really fucked up device in the end. Please be cautionous with handeling these files, you have been warned.

Update: Seems The guy who made this fake is upset upon the early unmasing and likes to spam our comments with serval diffrent names in spanish and translate-english.  Please, at least change your IP before using other nicknames if trying to fool peple on a hacking board. If you try to play the Z game for the donation $$…YOU FAILED, hey he at least had something working, even if it was stolen. Please keep this in mind John, Alfonzo, Michael or what your name really is.

As promised Bigboss has released version 1.0 of SBSettings this weekend with two new themes

Quote:

SBSettings v1.0 is out. Make sure you get 1.0-3 (3rd repack). This release has the following features:

1) Brightness toggle
2) Themes
3) No longer launches at lock screen at all.
4) Home button can be used to close the window.

What did not make it: Application launch dock.  I have been testing most these features all week with success. Then I put out a version early Sunday and installed it on my other iPhone and it was doing nothing but crashing springboard.  Anyways, after a few hours more work, I decided to pull the dock out. It’s too problematic and I’m not sure why at this time plus Im too tired to worry about it. That will come back in later.

As for themes, I have added two themes to the main distribution: HUD and Tech Shadows. The rest I will package up as addons and release tonight.

One more thing: this version relies on toggle pack 1.3.1
