Jailbreaks iPhone OS 3.1.3 : blackra1n & ultrasn0w Can Still Unlock

Well folks, that didn't take long at all. We now have the ability to jailbreak and unlock the iPhone on the new OS 3.1.3 only days after it's release. We have two options for different basebands, 04.26.08 and 05.11.07.

Sn0wbreeze 3.1.3 can jailbreak iPhone 2G, 3G and iPhone 3GS (old bootrom only) on iPhone OS 3.1.3. Baseband 04.26.08 can be unlocked using Ultrasn0w. If your baseband is 05.11.07, GeoHot's blacksn0w will work just the same as it did before. (That was released last year But No unlock for the latest Baseband 05.12.01)

For those of you that have never used any of these programs, please don't try can call iKing (+8801713031130) if assistance needed. 

Note: We have tested this method on 2G 3G but 3Gs not at hand at this moment.
Be smart. Don't do this unless you absolutely have to, or if you want to test and inform others of your success/failure stores
Again, THIS IS FOR OLD BOOTROMS OF THE 3GS. If you have a newer 3GS, just stay away.

Hidden Features Of iPhone Firmware 3.1.3

As you already know Apple release iPhone firmware 3.1.3 today, but the changelog they offer is not satisfying or worthwhile at all. Pretty much they didn’t make you update in the first place. Anyway, we still manage to jailbreak it, and above all that it seems that there are some hidden features that Apple didn’t advertise.

The update also reportedly resolves an issue where third-party applications would not launch in some instances. It also addresses a bug that could cause applications to crash when using the Japanese Kana keyboard.

iPhone OS 3.1.3 also includes a number of security updates related to CoreAudio, ImageIO, Recovery Mode and WebKit. Full details are available in the support document on Apple’s Web site.

HOW TO: Put The iPhone In DFU Mode And Jailbreak, Even If Your Home Or Power Button Is Broken

As you know, to get into DFU you must press the two buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds, but some times one of the two buttons will break. An alternative to jailbreak without having to go into the DFU mode is to use Blackra1n. However, if the iPhone freezes and you need to restore the firmware to do it again, this guide will come back again very useful.

What you need:

• original Apple firmware
• BetterZip on Mac or WinZip on Windows (or something similar, your choice)

How to do it:

1. Create a copy of the original apple firmware and change the file extension from .ipsw to .zip

2. Unpack the .zip file to view its content. Navigate to Firmware > all_flash

3. Inside you will get two folders ( all_flash.m68ap.production and all_flash.n82ap.production ) and both of them will contain various files. The ones you are interested in are:

• LLB.m ** ap.RELEASE.img3
• applelogo.xxx.img3

NOTE: asterisks stands for 68 or 82 – depending on the folder. “xxx” is a different number for each device.

4. Delete the LLB.m ** ap.RELEASE.img3 file in both folders and rename the applelogo.xxx.img3 file to LLB.m ** ap.RELEASE.img3

5. Save everything and rename the file back from .zip to .ipsw

6. Connect your iPhone or iPod Touch to your computer, open iTunes and click the “Restore” button while holding down the Alt key if you’re using Mac (Shift key if you’re on Windovs).Now browsed for the modified .ipsw and restore your device with it.When iTune is done restoring your device with the custom firmware, your iPhone/iTouch will load directly into the DFU mode and now you can restore with a custom jailbreake firmware.

So basically what you are doing here is, making LLB  (which is not there) invalidate iBoot which causes it to go into a DFU loop. (thx iH8sn0w for your input)

Apple iPhone, iPod touch Security Patch 3.1.3: What's Fixed

Apple on Tuesday released an updated version of its iPhone OS software for the iPhone and iPod touch. The new version 3.1.3 patches several security holes, provides a few bug fixes and minor enhancements, and is available via iTunes download.

The five security fixes are related to CoreAudio, ImageIO, Recovery Mode and WebKit.

The CoreAudio patch prevents "maliciously crafted" MP4 audio files from wreaking havoc, such as terminating programs or running rogue code. The ImageIO fix blocks malicious TIFF images from performing similar voodoo when users view them.

The Recovery Mode update prevents someone with physical access to a locked iPhone or iPod touch from bypassing the passcode and accessing your data. It corrects a memory corruption glitch in the handling of a USB control message that allowed the security breach.

WebKit gets two patches. One corrects an HTML 5-related problem that may cause mail to load remote audio and video files when remote image-loading is turned off. The second blocks WebKit from accessing a malicious FTP server.

The minor upgrades in iPhone OS version 3.1.3 correct a bug that causes apps to crash when using a Japanese Kana keyboard, and improve the accuracy of battery-level reporting on the iPhone 3GS.

The iPhone OS patch comes hot on the heels of Monday's iTunes 9.0.3 update, which remedies the problem of iTunes forgetting user passwords, and fixes glitches with iPod syncing. It also improves iTunes' stability and performance.
