This would be the shortest and simplest tutorial for jailbreaking and unlocking your iPhone 4.

1. Jailbreak

Go to http://jailbreakme.com from your iPhone and slide to jailbreak.  You are done,  the jailbreak process would start and your device would be jailbroken in few mins.
There are chances you might not be able to get through the process in one go, sometimes the servers are really busy. So keep on trying, safari might crash too. Just don’t give up keep on trying

2.Unlock
Once the jailbreak process is over, headover to your springboard,
Open ‘Cydia’
Follow the steps Manage > Sources > Edit >Add

Add following repo/source URL  http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com [*ultrasn0w* thats Zero not 'O' in ultrasn0w]

Now click on add source and done.

Once you have successfully added that go to Search in Cydia and search for “ultrasn0w”and tap on ultrasn0w. And Install it.

Version 1.0-1 of ultrasn0w works for:

• iPhone4 baseband 01.59
• 3G/3GS basebands 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01 and 05.13.0

Jailbreak and Unlock Links :

• JailbreakMe
• BackupServer for Jailbreakme
• Don’t know what is Jailbreak? Check here
• Now that you have got all the devices jailbreak the first thing you notice is Cydia, so check the must have Cydia Apps List

Some @saurik interview videos have been around @makeitwork

Have  a look at them to understand the basic idea behind Jailbreak, unlock and Cydia.

Update : The unlock for iPhone 4 is still not out yet, but hey have been testing and would be out soon.

With that hope we waited alot and finally we have the needed updated.

Skype for iPhone – iTunes Link

Now we could run Skype in the background. Skype calls would work as normal calls do. You can switch Apps, lock the phone and still your Skype would run as it should. Now calls made over 3G or Wi-Fi will no longer be restricted to users who have the Skype application running in the foreground. In addition, Skype revealed that it no longer plans to charge for calls made over 3G.

Skype for iPhone also includes the enhanced graphics supported by the iPhone 4’s Retina Display.

Digg App – iTunes Link

And the very buggy App ‘Digg’ is now updated. It supports Multitasking .

With much more stability and less crashes, this app makes it easy to share and Digg. Check it out.

But the comments on the videos are marquee top to bottom. They just keep on rolling down.

Not much to say, but do check out the YouTube Leanback looks great and could be for the coming Google TV.

Some say ‘given a few months its a competitor to iOS4 and Android’, some call is ‘snappy’ the final verdict is still incomplete. Though its buggy and still been developed sooner the final version would be out and phones would soon start shipping with Windows Phone 7 OS.

The launch date  is not announced  yet but checkout some best demo videos and in dept reviews on internet.

Google has been a dominating the search engine genre since the past decade, the new-looking and more efficient search engine, Bing is good but still hasn’t penetrated the market completely, despite having Y! which is playing around with Bing to beat Google it isn’t much favored search engine. The question is could @Blekko change this? Could it catch up the trend and break the benchmark Google and Bing has already set?

Still in the closed blekko stage of, the open beta would soon be out in few days ( i guess ) but the preview given to the @techcrunch team seems amazing. The founders seem very ambitious and confident about what they are doing would be successful sooner or later. They never shake while taking about Google or Bing. I love the passion they put it in the developing  this site, and the way they have been putting their ideas and the guts to create a  totally different kind of search engine.

Check  the videos to know everything and invitee to join the beta for @Blekko after the jump.

The site says ” @Blekko is in closed private beta. if you’d like an invite, follow us on twitter or send us a tweet.”

Similarly one of the @iPhone_Dev team’s @planetbeing ( the guy who managed to  install and dualboot  linux on the iPhone) has successfully managed to show a working unlock installed on his iPhone4. Still no public release as he explains it being a very messy code and lengthy process to jailbreak and unlock. They have posted a teaser screenshot/photo of the unlocked iPhone 4 which runs Roger and Bell in Canada.

After the jump, check the videos of the jailbreak and unlock being very true and working. And also check what blackra1n developer George Hotz is doing for now.

Many bloggers went on posting their assumptions of the unlock not being a true thing and moreover a fake screenshot or a screenshot with AT&T having a affiliation with Rogers as their Roaming network carrier. So to prove them its true, he also posted two videos demonstrating his jailbreak and unlock to be very true.

About Geroge Hotz and blackra1n and limera1n

For everyone to know , the mighty blackra1n developer has pulled his way out of the jailbreaking scenario completely. He posted a teaser photo of his jailbroken iPhone 4  and made it public that all the tools he created were made to keep him busy in his leisure time, what he cares about most isn’t cracking the iPhone but his convenience.  He shared his technical knowledge which leaded to this.  He shared this on his blog which is now restricted to invited readers only.

Sorry, this post was probably a bad idea. Next time I won’t say anything. I miss when this blog
was actually about technical things(I’ve been reacting too much to the feedback, which led it to the place it’s in now). I didn’t fully realize most of the current scene don’t care unless they are getting something. Now I do. It’s late tonight, I’ll think about what to do about this in the morning.

The real reason behind no release isn’t technical. It’s just that it will never stop, after blackra1n, people demand unlock, after blacksn0w, people demand untethered. I miss the days when jailbreaking and unlocking were difficult, it attracted a much higher caliber crowd.
Also, to the haters, the picture is quite obviously fake.

UPDATE

i was just having fun but some people had to take this all way too seriously. it’s just a phone, and it isn’t much fun anymore.

my bio isn’t “iPhone hacker” it was just something i did occasionally when i was bored. seriously, i think many of you care way more than me

it was a cool ride, and i’ve learned a lot about a lot. perhaps one of these days i’ll do a more formal goodbye.

So we are completely dependent on what @iphone_dev team does and gives us. Lets hope they do the best as they do always.

Well fortunately all the Google Apps have been so great and awesome that they came out of the Beta stage and evolved to something useful. The best thing about this invitation system is that no matter how useful or good that particular App is everyone wants a hold over that invitation.

Way back in 2007 Google bought something very revolutionary, a startup which was called Google Voice from Grand Central. The usage of Google voice is very simple, you register your number, get your Google Voice number and use it as you use without paying any extra charges. It uses your 3G network to establish calls to google voice numbers. 2006 was the year where it was first started by GrandCentral and went under serious testing and development, later almost 2 years later Google introduced Google voice to Grand Central subscribers, the only catch was that it was completely invitation based ( same trick worked for Google Mail, Gmail as we know now ). Now being very successful in promoting via ‘invite only’ methodology, Google has over 1 million Google Voice users.

Now as we all know Google voice is out of that phase and open for all. Wait what? Open for all!! Without wasting any time I went and logged in my Google Voice account ( I had a invite account, but never worked for me as it was in beta for US customers only ) to check how finally it looks like. But to my disappointment it was still open to US customers only.

Google says that there are now over one million people actively using the service. You can expect that number to balloon now that anyone can go to the site and sign up. So do register if you want to but only US customers would have the please to use it for now.

Google Voice is open, Open for Everyone
