ZiPhone 3.0 Zorro is Back ! :)


Hello there !
Here you have the latest ZiPhone version !
This version has many new features !
Don't forget to read the README.txt and the
PLUGIN_HOWTO.txt !!
As usual it is better to use ziphone on a
restored iPhone, but you can also just
run ziphone -j to add the plugin support.
Now it's up to you all and your fantasy!
Because the plugin system can just do
EVERYTHING you can imagine.
If you think your app or your system mod
should be used by everyone, contact me
and I could include it as a default
in the next release.
Namaste !
Zibri.

Congratulations for releasing it before the pwnage thingy is out. Keep up the great work.
I wish there was a way to backup all apps and stuff so that I could try out new stuff and then have an easy restore with all apps included. Ziphone should add a backup function someday.
Thanks.
Byeeeee...

Miss & Mister KinkY said...

Dear Zibri,

thank you so much for the new version. I got a new iphone beginning of march and waited all this time for the plugin and apps installer from YOU coz u rock. Have not touched it since i got it and gonna try and latest version right now. So thank you for that.

You are doing a great job. And i am sure it was worth the wait all this time. We all owe you one.

Also so sorry to hear those monkeys from adsense messed with you. Grrrrr... Typicall megalomaniac corporation behaviour regardless of the tos, coz they could have told you so at the beginning and not let their ads run on your page for so long befor telling you that they are actually taking the piss. Know for sure who are are not going to run ads with if at all..

Anyways, thanks again and be sure we are closeley watching your space with much love.

Best regards & Ciao ragazzi,
Mr

Dexter said...

hey Zibri !! where is the Windows version ????

iDF said...

No PLUGIN_HOWTO.txt in MAC version...

K¤f§t€ß said...

Getting it now and I hope the 'How To.txt' is included in it for the mac OS X version. Thanks

Zibri said...

Sorry,, the plugin howto is missing from the osx version...
I will reupload it in a few minutes.

Ciego #10 said...

Plugin file Blucher.zip does not exist in ZiPhone directory...

Jesper said...

Has anyone gotten some problems with this one yet?
I'd like to jailbreak my iPod Touch 8GB but I don't know if I have the guts.. =P
Is there any chance that it would break?

kc65734 said...

The mac version will not mount.

Vikram said...

Greetings and Congratulations from India.

Jesper said...

I'm downloading only in 5 kb/s. Anyone else got the same problem? If not, it's just my lousy internet connection... =P

Luis said...

The mac version will not mount

Marius said...

I already have 2.6b installed, should I try this or... Any huge difference? New to this... ^^

Godless Geek said...

Any way to keep this version from installing the base apps? I use Cydia (a newer unix subsystem) and would prefer that the old BSD subsystem not get installed at all. If you install Cydia over the old one, upgrades for the old one still show up in Installer, but you can't actually install them without hosing your OS.

I like the plugin concept, but I will have to go back to 2.5 if there's no way to disable the application install.

Brendan Ryan said...

This is an awesome APP!

I'm hoping to use the "no-wifi" fix, as I have two phones suffering from that illness.

However, when I load the OSX version, select advanced tab, and "fix no-wifi issue"... clicking "start advanced process gives me an error:

"You must pick at least one action parameter from the checkboxes on the left."

Any suggestions?

mizo said...

Really nice work guys hope to help me fix the fucken gary wi-fi button

dialexio said...

This may sound stupid, but... is there any way to not have ZiPhone automatically install BSD Subsystem? I would prefer to not have it on my iPod at all when (and if) I have to re-jailbreak it.

But anyways... great to hear about this feature in ZiPhone! :)

ahmed said...

Zib,

Great work maaaaaaaaan!

I still can't use the wifi on my iPhone, though..Anytime I try to access any website, Safari says it can't find the server....although the wifi settings are on and the network IS connected and working. I've tried accessing that network from a friend's iTouch and it was successful from his device, but not from mine.

Any clue?

i cant find the plugin_howto.txt file on mac

Matheus said...

Thanks!
But unfortunately none of the apps that i put in my Ipod by "blucher" works!

Sorry for the bad english ;)

Zibri said...

Someone asked how to uninstall things preinstalled..

Here is an example:

http://rapidshare.com/files/103628236/Blucher.zip.noinstaller

(rename it and call it Blucher.zip then put it in the same directory where ziphone is)

This EXAMPLE will remove INSTALLER.

(to have it back, just remove blucher.zip then jailbreak again)

Cheers,
Zibri

Zibri said...

Matheus:

read the plugin howto.
You can't put apps STRAIGHT away in Blucher.zip...
You have to zip them RELATIVE to the iphone root ( / )

Zibri said...

The missing (for now in osx archive) plugin HOWTO:

-----------------------------------

Here we are.
Well, the plugin system is as simple as powerful as you could imagine.
All you have to do is to put whatever you want to transfer to the iPhone in a zip file !
The zip file will be extracted to / (the iPhone root) so if you want for example add an application,
all you have to do is to create a zip file relative to / so it will contain:

/Applications/YOURAPP.APP/
/Applications/YOURAPP.APP/YOURAPP
/Applications/YOURAPP.APP/foo
/Applications/YOURAPP.APP/bar
/Applications/YOURAPP.APP/etc

Remember to zip the file on a unix system (even the iphone, a mac, linux, cygwin under windows, etc)
And remeber to set file permissions and ownership before zipping with the command:

zip -yr9 Blucher.zip /Applications/YOURAPP.APP

Then put Blucher.zip in the main directory where ziphone.exe,zibri.dat,Inga.dat,dfu.dat are.
That file will be automatically installed during all jailbreak operations.
If you just want to install that file without jailbreaking again, just run ziphone -P
For the plugin system to work you have to jailbreak at least ONCE using ZiPhone 3.0.

And what if you need to run a shell script after installation or INSTEAD of installation?!
It's very simple:
Just add to Blucher.zip /tmp/Blucher.sh containing your script.
So your zip file structure will be:

/Applications/YOURAPP.APP/
/Applications/YOURAPP.APP/YOURAPP
/Applications/YOURAPP.APP/foo
/Applications/YOURAPP.APP/bar
/Applications/YOURAPP.APP/etc
/tmp/Blucher.sh


Now it's just a matter of fantasy.
You could use the plugin system even to backup and restore part or ALL the filesystem.
You could use it even just to display and image or ring a bell or do any nasty things..
That's why if you use the plugin system a big red WARNING will appear on your iPhone during installation.
ZiPhone will not be responsible for any 3rd party PLUGINS but I enourage it's use.

If you think your app or your plugin is so good it should be OFFICIALLY put in the SUPPORTED ziphone plugins, drop
me an email at zibree@gmail.com and we can discuss it.

DO NOT TRUST ANY OTHER SOURCES OTHER THAN http://www.ziphone.org for downloading ZIPHONE !

Tom Woody said...

Zibri ... u are a legend !!!

2 weeks ago, i download an older version of your hack and tried it on my ipod touch, it didnt work. so i spent about 4 hours manually hacking it with loads of other peoples help. Recently it crashed and i had to do a restore, then i looked on your blog and a new version had been releasd. I thought i would give it a go. after download, i had a jailbroken 16gb ipod touch within 2 mins. Thank You so Much !!

Ill try to donate as soon as i can.

Godless Geek said...

Someone asked how to uninstall things preinstalled.

Any chance we can get an option that will make the jailbreak act like the old way (i.e. jailbreak and load installer and nothing else)?

I noticed you were planning on possibly putting more forced installs in future versions and I really, really don't need ZiPhone telling me what I need installed. I really do like the concept of plugins, but only the plugins I want. I don't want to have to spend time figuring out how the hell to disable what I don't want in the jailbreak.

This has been the best jailbreak out there until now. If you're going to start forcing unwanted applications down our throats, I'm gonna have to start reconsidering that position.

Andreas said...

On the MAC version of 3.0, when you go into the help window, on the bottom left corner it reads version 2.6b

Alejandro said...

Thanks so much zibri!!!

Any way to get the 5 new apps from the january update into my ipod touch?

evazora said...

Works like a charm on my 8GB iPhone!
I've never had any problems.

Phant0m said...

Please Zibri help us out with a simple BACKUP solution by dumping the system rdisk0S1 to PC.

I'm sure it will only take you a couple of minutes to add this to an already spectacular program!!

One can later focus on improving on this by eliminating things that just waste space but this would be simple and fine for now.

Please consider this inclusion...

Yoshi said...

when I click on download, I get taken back to your main site. Any problems known here?

Javi J. said...

Hi Zibri! Thank you for your dedication to fix and improve the iPhone.

"FIX NO WIFI/BT" doesn't work for me. I looked up in many forums and people have the same result. These're the first comments.

In my case, I've just discovered that I have this problem (common in lot of iPhones): "invalid calibration data in device tree".

I hope you find a real solution.
Thank you again.

AndyB said...

something needs fixing I used this on my iPod Touch (16GB) and it causes main script execution and package download failed when trying to reinstall bsd and installer and SSH does NOT work

Zibri said...

First of ALL:

To whoever has problems:

Just do a full restore to 1.1.4 then use ziphone 3.0.

To whoever wants the OLD options: just use the previous version.

About BSD subsystem: that is needed by Installer and MANY apps.

For any different usage, there is the plugin system.

About WIFI: ZIPHONE can't REPAIR HARDWARE PROBLEMS, Broken basebands, fucked seczones, so please STOP BUGGING.

To anyone else:
enjoy.

The program has been tested on at least 20 iphones/ipods and gives NO PROBLEMS.

To use the plugin system you have FIRST to jailbreak at least ONCE using 3.0.

If you are dumb enough not to have done that, then put the phone in recovery mode MANUALLY the use ziphone to boot it in NORMAL MODE, then you can start again if you wish.

Please don't just press buttons without KNOWING what you are doing.

You won't get help in that way nor your comments will be posted.

Sorry for sounding rude but it's 6 hours i receive messages by people who don't really know what they are doing.

Namaste, peace out,
Zibri

Rabid_13 said...

well done...

i hope we get a BACKUP option some where along the line.

thanks

Sven said...

To those who want the apps and wiggle function add this source in installer - http://www.ipodtouchmaster.com/files/repo.xml

Then go to the folder "1.1.4 iPhone apps".

Worked great for me :D

Zibri said...

BY THE WAY.

If you don't want INSTALLER , BSD and SSH, just go to advanced options and DO NOT FLAG the JAILBREAK.

In that way you can unlock+activate without ANY app installed.

Els said...

In behalf of those "who do not know what they are doing" but want to use Ziphone...Is there a detailed tutorial somewhere so we will eventually know what we are doing. Thanks.

kingslipknot said...

i have just downloaded the 3.0 in my 8gig itouch and I haven't really notice any diff. in the apps if anyone can give me a quick tut. to do cool stuff with it that would be great this my aim name so please help if you can, besides that my wifi is up and running again

Paul said...

Great job, you're a great asset to the iTouch/iPhone community.

Godless Geek said...

If you don't want INSTALLER , BSD and SSH, just go to advanced options and DO NOT FLAG the JAILBREAK.

Jailbreak & Installer is the only part of this I want. I am an AT&T customer and have no need for activate or unlock. I never use them at all. You seem to be ignoring the central point of my complaint. You have taken it upon yourself to force certain things on us. I'll restate my issue once more. There is currently an alternative to BSD Subsystem that some of us prefer to use. By forcing BSD Subsystem on us, you are limiting the ways in which we can install the alternative and forcing us to deal with quirks and peculiarities that we would not have to deal with if you didn't feel the need to force your way on others. Absent of a way to uninstall BSD Subsystem (which simply does not exist), I'll just have to keep version 2.6 and 1.1.4 of the firmware. I don't want plugin capabilities bad enough to deal with this.

Cold Chilli said...

Just downloaded it. and it won't install. It immediately stops at the unzip. I have .Net 2.0 installed.

Is there a Zip file version available

nodis said...

Anyone know if this new version of ZiPhone can fix those of us with the bastard child 3.8 bootloader (thanks to the "safe" 3.9FB baseband in iPlus)?

I'd love to get back to 3.9 and fix my seczone/IMEI issues.

hershele said...

Exellent Job...
I only trust what you say....

Ok..My phone works perfectly after 2.6 Version.
I want to try 3.0
Should I Restore to 1.1.4 ?
If Yes, should I restore with iTunes or with the menu
option in ziphone 3.0.....I use the Mac version.
Tnxs

tagor said...

weird wi-fi "fix" which sets same mca adress for every "fixed" iPhone...

le tier said...

Ziphone,

new features:
- cannot use 2 ziphoned phones in one WLAN
- vulnerable to unwanted session hijacking in public WLAN hotspots

namawhatever

PS.: Fix static MAC adress?

Thinkray said...

Great work work! But someone tell me can I fix my brothers iPhone ( Unlocked 1.0.2 ). By using the Refurbish option and then finally restore it to 1.1.4!

Any help is appreciated. I am new to this thing and I use ZiPhone for my iPod touch 16 GB.

tommy said...

Super!!
Well-fuckin-done on this release. Thanks a million n keep up the good work. We all very much appreciate your effort.
Cya (",)

TJ said...

Zibri,

Why have you made everyone who uses this software to have the same MAC address. If it's a mistake, i advice to change it quick. But as it is Zibri in ASSCI , i doubt it was a mistake.

I think your application is the best out there but this could cause serious issues in the future for these people.

TJ

Zibri said...

Look at this video..
This is how ziphone 3.0 should be used:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-z3R9SwVc4

Zibri said...

For people who want to enable the infamous AFC2 service.

Here is another example PLUGIN for ziphone 3.0:

http://rapidshare.com/files/103807993/Blucher_afc2.zip

Rename it to "Blucher.zip" and put it in the ziphone directory.

Enjoy.

Zibri said...

tj: the mac address can be easily be modified from ssh or terminal.
(or even a ziphone plugin)

To do it, just issue: nvram wifiaddr=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

that's all.

evazora said...

Zibri! I used your software but It stopped in the middle my accident. Then I can't use your software anymore..

evazora said...

it keeps on showing BSD root:md0, major2, minor 0

and it doesn't work with itunes either!

evazora said...

nevermind, I resolved the issue

Mikulcak said...

Hi there,
I'm using a Mac and a 32gb iPod Touch and was very satisfied with ZiPhone 2.6, the release in which you resolved the BSD root - loop thingy.
But in this new release 3.0 the error is back...
It would be great if you could fix this,
but thanks for this great tool anyway,
Marcus

hershele said...

Used 3.0
No Problems at all

I dont see the surprise..????

3977005 said...

Thank you so match, ZIBRI!
Now I can do image of my IPod Touch very simple(games, etc). But I wasn't able to do such image: SummerBoard, Russian keyboard, Gogle Maps, Mail, Notes and soyrce list. Maybe you'll be able to promptme how can I do this?

Sorry for my English... ;)

Stat said...

Someone asked the question earlier but I didn't see a response to it. If some of us on ver. 2.6 want to upgrade to 3.0 (My reason being yahoo mail broke on my iPhone right after jailbreaking it, I'm an AT&T customer so I only used the Jailbreak Only method) and when I restored back to 1.1.4 yahoo mail was working again. Another post said that ziphone 3.0 fixes this problem.

So my question is, should we restore using ziphone restore, or should we use iTunes to restore to 1.1.4 and then jailbreak it afterwards?

By the way...on my old iPhone O.T.B. 1.1.2 ziphone worked perfectly and everything was functional including yahoo mail. After swapping it out with a new iPhone from Apple this weekend because of dead pixels..the 1.1.3 O.T.B. upgrade to 1.1.4 then jailbroken causes yahoo mail to no longer function!

I love the program by the way. You are the man!!

Matt said...

Hey im not sure if i should jailbreak my 8gb iphone or not. Im scared of it bricking. Is there any chance of it breaking?

Sereros said...

Hi Matt

Diego said...

Hey, Zibri... how can I change the MAC address (please, show me how). What one should I use? Can I use a random number? Thanks a lot.

Huw said...

Help
I just tried to jailbreak my iTouch with Ziphone. It rebooted and started running a script then nothing..... nothing at all, I get the message

BDS root: md0, major 2, minor 0

this just keeps scrolling. Left it for 15mins then killed it, rebooted but all I get is the script and the same scrolling message.iTunes cant see ipod for me to attempt to restore it.

Can anybody help me with a solution to restore my pod.

Andres said...

Where are the files??
I think the link is broken, when I click the download here it opens me the initial page of this blog.
Can someona upload the windows files in a different site?? please.
Thanks in advance.

Thats what I thought just needed a little reinsurance.

thanks

James said...

Well done with your progress so far!!keep it up.

Just a small issue i have with my 16gb itouch.

basically when i update to v1.1.4 and jailbreak with v3 it works fine and i get the ziphone blog icon and the installer icon on the desktop. However i do not get the mail, notes, weather, maps and the other application icons that were included in the najuary update. any help on that ?

Raphael said...

Dear zibri,

I just made a full zip of my iphone with "/zip -yr9 /private/var/Blucher.zip /"
but after a restore I got the "entering recovery mode" but nothing append. I know this was a little too easy but I'm sure that it could work without the specials folders maybe. My goal is to get an image of a fresh iphone so I can apply it for a second one for example.

Thanks you and best regards, RB

Z&J said...

AWESOME WORK!

Can I run ads on your blog page? I figured out that it might be another way to show our thanks and support to your development works. Please contact me at dev at wellingtondeals dot com

Khaled said...

well thanks for evrything u've done so far ..

but this version had actullay messed up my wifi which was working fine..its gray now and even the fix u added didnt work
please help

Neil said...

All the things that you have in your ziphone 3 should be at users choice not yours, some people may not want to install BSD subsystem, SSH, or have plugins installed to the phone.

These option should be at users choice not yours.

But apart from that great app.

Brit said...

Hey!

I restored my iPhone before running the new Ziphone on OSX.

Ran Ziphone and it worked its magic, except no Installer.app

Restored twice, ran ZiPhones Unlock, Jailbreak & Activate as well as just running Jailbreak.. Still no Installer.app

Any ideas?

Erick said...

Hey Zibri,

I want to congratulate you on your great work!!!! Keep it up!!!! I was woundering if you could put Barranquilla, Colombia at your maps locations pin!!!! If you could do that it would be just great!!!!

Thanks for Ziphone and keep it up!!!!

Bye

ionsorkut said...

@zibri:
What about a smarter approach to the no-wifi fix? Maybe random MAC address generation (instead of ZIBRI in ASCII).
This fix is mostly oriented towards newbies (because people who knows about the MAC issue might have tried it already), and newbies might use the option by mistake and cause networks problems (which would be almost impossible for a newbie to detect!). Think about the random thing, it´s much safer from a technical point of view, don´t you agree?
Also, I suggest you to create a panel where people can input all pertinent information about their problems with ziphone. By using that date, it would be very easy to detect what´s causing no-wifi and other issues.

Thomas said...

Thank you very much. :-)

Franca said...

Hello Zibri - can you help? I have an AT&T iphone and am moving to the Netherlands. Can I just download ZiPhone and then buy a dutch sim card to insert? I'm not very techy - is there anything I need to do other than download your software? Thanks!

Guido said...

I read your announcemet about Microsoft calling you to develop something... Now here's the question:
Will Ziphone continues to be free, as you always announced?

Cheers mate, and gratz!

Hi! Ive unlocked a otb 1.1.4 with ziphone 2.6b. Everything seems to work, utube, wifi, no nvram issues (what is that anyway?). Is there any reason for me to update to ziphone 3.0

essmoe said...

ZiPhone is the bomb! Zibri is the bomb!

I've used it since 1.1.3! :-D

Somehow, i still have trouble with YouTube... :-/

Yogerson said...

Hi Zibree, first of all, thank you so much for all your efforts in making our life so much simpler with ZiPhone ..
However, I was just wondering, what do you know about aCujo's claim about some user sending his iPhone to Apple Customer Service and getting his phone upgrade back to 4.6. Is Apple verifying BL version???
And, one more thing if this is true, then there is a way to upgrade 3.BL to 4.6 via software, am I right???

j said...

yes, so simple and ez a caveman could do it,,, took five minutes on a new iphone, GREAT WORK, thanks, well-deserved donation sent
