Hello guys, this time is different. I will try to post something new about the iPhone tutorial now. For those who have iPhone, this is the right post for you to learn about jailbreaking the OS. Here’s a complete tutorial on how to jailbreak iOS 6.1.3 on all A4 and pre-A4 devices, including the iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod touch 4G etc using Sn0wbreeze 2.9.14. More details can be found right after the jump.

With the release of iOS 6.1.3, the Evasi0n iOS 6.1.x untethered jailbreak was patched by Apple. But thanks to Geohot’s legendary Limera1n exploit, it is still possible to jailbreak iOS 6 (and over) running devices rocking an A4 chip. We have already showed you how to jailbreak iOS 6.1.3 using Redsn0w, now we will show you how to do it using Sn0wbreeze.

Before we begin, let’s go through the usual checks.

Supported devices:
  • iPhone 4
  • iPhone 3GS
  • iPod touch 4G

What you’ll need:

Important info:

As mentioned at the beginning of this post, only A4 and older devices are supported, which means if you have an iPhone 5 / 4S or the latest fifth-gen iPod touch and are running iOS 6.1.3, then you’re way out of luck. Since this is a tethered jailbreak, you will need to plug your device to your PC and boot tethered with iBooty every time your device reboots.


How to jailbreak iOS 6.1.3:

Step 1: Download the latest version of Sn0wbreeze, which is v2.9.14. You can grab it from the link given above. Also download the 6.1.3 firmware file tailored for your device.

Step 2: Launch Sn0wbreeze, click on the blue arrow on the bottom right hand-side of the display.

Step 3: Click on Browser for an IPSW and select the firmware file you downloaded in step 2.

Step 4: Once the firmware has been verified, click on the next arrow once more, and from the next screen; select Simple Mode.

Now Sn0wbreeze will ask you if you want to activate your iPhone? Select “Yes” if you plan to unlock your phone using tools such as Ultrasn0w. Select “No” if you are on an official supported carrier, or if you have a factory unlocked iPhone.

Step 5: At this point, Sn0wbreeze will start baking the custom iOS firmware file, this might take a while, so either grab yourself a cup of coffee, play Pac-Man or watch the spinner on the display, it’s up to you.

Step 6: Once done, the new custom firmware will be placed on your desktop.

Step 7: Sn0wbreeze will now ask you to enter Pwned DFU mode. You can Follow the on-screen instructions on how to do so. It’s quite possible that you might not get the procedure right in the first go, so you might be forced to give it another try. Don’t be alarmed if it happens, and keep trying till you get it right.

Step 8: Once in Pwned DFU mode, Launch iTunes, keep your device plugged in to your PC.

Step 9: iTunes will detect your device in recovery mode. On your keyboard hold down the left SHIFT key and click on Restore. Select the custom firmware file from your desktop.

Step 10: Let your device restore, this process will take some time.

Step 11: Once complete, your device will boot with Cydia installed.

Booting tethered:

As we mentioned before, this is a tethered jailbreak, and as a part of the whole process, Sn0wbreeze will create a new folder for a utility called iBooty on your desktop. To boot your device into the jailbroken state with working Cydia, follow these steps:

Step 1: Launch iBooty from your desktop.

Step 2: Select your device from the drop-down menu, click on the Start button from within the iBooty interface, and follow on-screen instructions on how to put device in DFU mode.

Step 3: Once iBooty is done, your device will boot up and now you’re all set to install tweaks and apps from Cydia.

As a rule, you can get almost any device unlocked by paying a small fee directly to the carrier, or to several online services that would let you purchase an IMEI unlock.

Before we proceed, please be advised that the usual disclaimer applies. Playing around the carrier lock is risky business, and more complicated than your average Android modding. Follow these instructions at your own perusal. Redmond Pie cannot be held liable for any loss whatsoever resulting from following this method. Also, this method applies to GT-I9505 only, and not to other variants of Galaxy S4.

Step 1: Launch the Phone app on your Galaxy S4, and dial in: *#0011#

Step 2: Press the Menu button followed by the Back key. Then, hit the Menu button again and select KEY INPUT. Enter 1 and press the OK button to enter ServiceMode.



Step 3: Press Menu one more time and tap back again. This will pull up the Main Menu for ServiceMode. Tap [1] UMTS.



Step 4: Now select [1]DEBUG SCREEN, followed by [6] PHONE CONTROL.



Step 5: From the next screen, pick [6] NETWORK LOCK.



Step 6: You’ll get three options. Hit the one that says [3] PERSO SHA256 OFF.



Step 7: Now, you need to get back to Main Menu. To do this, hit the Menu button followed by the Back key. In Main Menu, now pick [6]COMMON, and then [6] NV REBUILD.



Step 8: The phone will tell you that a Golden Backup exists. Tap [4] Restore Back-up.



Your device will now go through a series of “conditions”, where it will first freeze, then get on a black screen with Blue LED on and both capacitive buttons on, after which it will reboot automatically. The whole cycle might take a couple of minutes, so be patient. Once it powers back on, it’s network unlocked, permanently. Enjoy!

Nokia Lumia 1020 is Officially Announced and See What its Feature here

No comments



For some reasons, the Finland manufacture still believe in their faith about bringing a different device featured with Windows Phone. They may hear us that we want Android Device made by Nokia. But, unfortunately they still stubborn not to grant our wishes. However, Nokia is out there still competing with another brand to launch another monster of mobile phone. Here it comes with Nokia Lumia 1020.

After an unprecedented amount of leaks, Stephen Elop took the stage at the Nokia Zoom Reinvented event in New York to proudly announce the Nokia Lumia 1020 - the company's new Windows Phone 8 cameraphone flagship.

The Nokia Lumia 1020's centerpiece is the 41MP autofocus PureView camera with a huge (by smartphone standards) 1/1.2" BSI sensor, 6-lens ZEISS optics and optical image stabilization. It is coupled with LED flash used for video shooting and a proper xenon flash.

The Lumia 1020's optically stabilized 41MP image sensor that can snap 40MP and 5MP photos at the same time – one straight off the sensor and one after Nokia's Super sampling has been applied. The other 41MP cameraphone - 808 PureView can only shoot one or the other at a time.

To make the best out of this beast of a camera, the Nokia ships the Lumia 1020 with its Pro Camera and Smart Camera camera lens apps. They'll allow advanced users fiddle with the camera settings and get the most out of the impressive shooter - there's even a full manual mode, which is a rarity outside prosumer or pro-grade cameras. At the front, there's a secondary 1.2MP wide-angle camera.

Nokia Lumia 1020 can capture videos of up to 1080p resolution and thanks to the high-res sensor it features lossless zoom. You can zoom in up to 3 times in 1080p mode and up to 6 times when shooting 720p video without sacrificing much in terms of quality. Sound is recorded in stereo and is guaranteed to be crisp and deep thanks to the two wide dynamic range microphones on board.

The Nokia Lumia 1020 internals don't bring many surprises as the smartphone is powered by the same Snapdragon S4 chipset with a 1.5GHz dual-core Krait CPU as the Nokia Lumia 925. A nice addition is the 2GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage. As usual, Nokia and Microsoft have teamed up and provide 7GB of free SkyDrive storage.

You'll be able to admire the beautiful photos taken with the 41MP camera on the 4.5" Clear Black AMOLED display of 1280 x 768 pixels resolution. It is protected by the Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and features Nokia's PureMotion HD+ technology for smoother animations. Super Sensitive Touch technology is present, too, allowing you to operate the phone with gloves and nails. Nokia Glance Screen is available thanks to the Windows Phone 8 Amber update.

Local Connectivity is standard and includes Bluetooth 3.0, NFC (featuring SIM-based security), dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and GPS with Glonass support. Network support is quite wide covered with quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, 42Mbps UMTS/HSPA and LTE support.




The Nokia Lumia 1020 in black

The Nokia Lumia 1020 is powered by a 2000mAh capacity and supports wireless charging via an accessory cover (purchased separately). The Finns say the phone will be able to last 16 days on standby and provide 13.3 hours of talk time. Video and music playback endurance are rated at 6.8 and 63 hours, respectively.

This impressive camera module is certainly pretty large, but the Lumia 1020 isn't too bulky overall. At 130.4 x 71.4 x 10.4 mm, the smartphone is pretty much the same size as the Lumia 920, except that this time there's a large bump on the back. The Lumia 1020 is also lighter than its predecessor, tipping the scales at 158 grams.

The Nokia Lumia 1020 will be available in yellow, white and black. It will hit AT&T on July 26 for $299 with a two-year contract, while global availability is yet to be confirmed.

[Tutorial] How to Backup and Restore Android Devices Using ClockWorkMod Recovery

No comments



As we already now, each time we decide to perform operations on our Android powered device the data saved on its storage memory or even on its SD card might be wiped out. Furthermore, if you want to do things more complicated like flashing a custom ROM, install unofficial updates, or beta firmware, you can wreck (brick) the phone’s system. But, there is a way in which you can avoid all these unfortunate aspects. You can make a full backup before starting the main process; and I’m not referring to any backup as you should save your current ROM first.

This is exactly what we will be checking during the present step by step guide: how to backup and restore your Android device before installing custom ROMs, or applying unofficial updates. And the perfect way to do it is by using the ClockWorkMod Recovery custom recovery image. With this you can backup the current ROM that is running on your phone, so in case if something goes wrong while trying to flash a new ROM into the system you will be able to revert and use the old software. This is the perfect method to use for avoiding bricking your smartphone.

As you know, the warranty is void each time you want to complete one of the up mentioned operations, so backing up the software is no longer an option for you. Anyway, you need to get ClockWorkMod Recovery first. If you don’t know CWM is a custom recovery designed to work on the Android platform and offer different capabilities to the users like: making backups, test custom ROMs, perform maintenance operations and so on.

Now let’s head to the proper guide. Make sure you read all the lines for understanding the concept and for completing a full and safe backup of your ROM. Also you will learn how to install and use CWM, so don’t skip sections of the tutorial.

Follow these steps:

  1. First, you should root your device as you cannot install ClockWorkMod Recovery on an un-rooted handset. Check our previous posts as you can find a how to root guide suitable for your device.
  2. Then you should know that not all the smartphones are being able to support the tool. So, before starting to do something, check here and see if your phone is on the list.
  3. Then, after checking the compatibility and rooting the handset you must go on Google Play and search for the ROM Manager app.
  4. Install the same.
  5. Then open the tool.
  6. Select the “flash ClockWorkMod Recovery” option.
  7. Then, just select “Backup Current ROM” and follow the prompts.
  8. The backup will be completed once you reboot the smartphone.
  9. Now, if you decide to install a custom ROM into the system and something wrong happens just restore the backed up firmware by opening the app again and choosing “Manage and Restore Backup” and then “Restore”.
  10. You will have the old OS as soon as you reboot the device.

So, there you have it; that’s how you can backup the current ROM before flashing a custom ROM, or update your Android device with an unofficial firmware, and this by using the ClockWorkMod Recovery tool. If you want to backup the rest of the files from your handset too, you can use other apps, or methods. In this way you can save your personal info whether it is about messages, contacts, calendar saves, Market apps and who knows what else.

The Prices and Images of the Alleged Budget iPhone Shells in Multicolored

No comments



Besides new color schemes and more cost effective materials, the latest rumors surrounding the budget iPhone range include mass production of the models currently under way, as well as leaked pricing. Turns out budget version isn’t that cheap after all.

Sonny Dickson, the man behind several accurate Apple-related leaks in the past, posted on Twitter what he alleges will be the pricing of the new cheaper iPhone line.
Apple's Lower-Cost iPhone Prices iPhone – 16GB – $349 iPhone – 32GB – $449 iPhone – 64GB – $549
— Sonny Dickson (@SonnyDickson) June 30, 2013

Currently, the cheapest unlocked phone available from the online Apple Store is $450 for the 8GB iPhone 4, which means that the base model of the budget line will run you about $100 less for double the onboard memory – not out of the realm of possibility, especially if cheaper manufacturing materials are thrown into the mix. It’s also anyone’s guess what hardware will be available inside, so there might be some cost cutting going on there, too.

Also floating around is the rumor that mass production of the new budget models is already under way, which aligns with reports we heard last month of with an eventual launch date this September. Here’s hoping we hear something from Apple’s camp towards the end of summer.

The latest leak relating to the alleged line of budget iPhones - which have been called iPhone Lite or iPhone mini in several places - once again comes from none other than Sonny Dickson.

No comments



The launch of the Windows Phone 8-powered Nokia Lumia 1020 smartphone, so far known as Nokia EOS will be in two days. Until all the details about the PureView 808 camera phone follow up are officially unveiled, new information about the Windows Phone 8 smartphone are surfacing, confirming what we already knew and bringing a series of interesting novelties.

Alongside the leaked press image, some fresh details about the handset's specs emerged, including its much talked about camera unit. The latter promises to be a smartphone photographer's dream when the handset goes official.

Reportedly, the 41MP camera unit of the Nokia Lumia 1020 will be capable of simultaneously capturing 32MP and 5MP images with 16:9 ratio, as well as a 38MP ones with 4:3 aspect. The 5MP image will be oversampled by combining seven pixels into one "super pixel." The camera will unsurprisingly feature optical image stabilization (OIS) and F2.2 aperture.

The Pro Camera app which left us wondering last time will bring proper enthusiast settings to the user. They include the option to manually tweak ISO, white balance, focus, shutter speed, and the flash settings.

Further leaked specs for the Nokia Lumia 1020 included never before seen on WP handset 2GB of RAM, 32GB of non-expandable storage, NFC, FM radio, flip to silence gesture, and optional wireless charging.

Nokia Lumia 1020 is allegedly expected to hit AT&T's shelves by the end of this month. No details have been spilled on international availability.

The Nokia Lumia 1020 will break cover this coming Thursday in New York City. We will be covering the event live from the spot, so be sure to tune in for the full scoop on the smartphone

Unless the Nokia Lumia 1020 will have a chip for the camera, the Snapdragon 800 chipset is currently the only one to support that high of pixel count. Which processor will Nokia use for the Lumia 1020?

Download Floating Touch: How to Make Your Favorite Apps Closer to Your Thumb

No comments



How does Floating Touch work? I’m glad you’ve asked. Once you install it you will have a button floating on your screen over other apps (you can also move it around), which will allow you to launch your favorite apps without leaving the current app. Remember that routine when you had to leave the app, open app drawer, search for an app then launch it? Forget about it because Floating Touch is now up for download in Google Play store and it’s here to help.

If let’s say you want to watch a video or play Angry Birds and the Floating Touch point gets in your way longs press it and it’s gone. You will find it in your Notifications area, then with a simple click you will have it back on screen.

Floating Touch it’s like Paranoid Android’s HALO and Pie Controls had a baby. Press the floating button and it will open a pizza-looking menu on top of your running application. There are eight slices where you can add shortcuts to your favorite apps. By default, the one in the right is a folder that contains WiFi, GPS, Ring Mode, Airplane Mode, Brightness, Screen Rotation, Bluetooth, and Data toggles. The guys at Boat Browser Design were kind enough to include that folder given that creating folders feature is only included in the Pro Version.

Besides being able to place app shortcuts in the Floating Touch panel, you will also be able to choose from various actions like Lock Screen, Home, Clear Memory, Recent Apps, Menu, or Back, but you will require root access in order to be able to use the latter two of them.

You can choose from five colors for the Floating Touch panel and the Floating Touch button is customizable as well. You can choose its size, transparency, and even its icon. You can even set a custom picture as an icon for the Floating Touch button (or Point), but for that you will have to upgrade to Pro.

Summing up, Floating Touch is one of the greatest apps I’ve seen in Google Play in a while, being very useful and bringing great design and implementation in the same time.

Floating Touch is available for free in Google Play Store and you can download it yourself. Anyway, don’t forget to upgrade to Pro, as you will both support the developers and get your hands on some cool features.

How to Root HTC One, Unlock Bootloader, Backup and Install a Custom Recovery (Using TWRP)

No comments



HTC one is indeed one of the monsters mobile phone right now. It has everything we need and no one has ever doubted it. So on this tutorial i will show you how to root, unlock bootloader and install a custom recovery using TWRP on the phone. For those who did not know about the advantage of rooting device can go to this post.

To Root Your Phone, You Will Need the Following

  • HTC One drivers, which are included with HTC Sync Manager.
  • Android Forums Mini SDK, which can be found in the second post on this thread.
  • The latest TWRP recovery .img, which can be downloaded here. You may also want to rename it twrp.img for ease of installation later.


Step 1: Prepare Your Files
Extract the Mini SDK .zip file to a folder anywhere on your computer, then copy the twrp.img file to this folder. I'll be using C:\sdk-tools. Now, copy the SuperSU .zip file to your phone, either with AirDroid or via USB.



Step 2: Unlock Your Bootloader with HTC Dev
Next, head on over to HTC Dev and unlock your HTC One's bootloader using their instructions or our previous softModder tutorial. Our guide is for the EVO 4G LTE, but the process is the same.



Step 3: Install TWRP
Power off your device, then press and hold Power and Volume Down until you're in the bootloader menu. Highlight FASTBOOT and press Power. You should see Fastboot USB highlighted in red.



Open a command prompt on your computer and navigate to your SDK directory. Type "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and hit Enter.



Step 4: Backup Your Stock ROM
On your phone, highlight BOOTLOADER and press Power.
This time, select RECOVERY and press Power to boot into TWRP.



Tap Backup and swipe to confirm. You can restore this backup if anything goes wrong by selecting Restore in TWRP's main menu.



Step 5: Install SuperSU
In TWRP's main menu, tap Reboot. It will tell you that you're not rooted and ask you to install SuperSU, so swipe to confirm. When you reboot your phone, you should see a notification that you need to install the SuperSU app. Open the notification and select TWRP, since the app from Google Play only works with S-OFF.

That's it! For most people, the next step is installing a custom ROM or apps that require root.
