I just jail broke my iPhone 3G running v3.1.3 firmware and I think I am already in love with Cydia.  It turns out that unleashing the full power of the iPhone is a lot easier than I thought.  I have read some horror stories about people trying to get their iPhone into DFU mode to apply past iPhone jailbreak packages.  The new one, is a click away from iPhone freedom!

C’mon Every bodies doing It

Many of my friends have had jail broke their iPhones and I have been interested in the extra features and functionality that this simple hack has made on their phones.  There was a problem for many users who had updated to the iPhone firmware 3.1.3 from 3.1.2 apparently enough changes were made between these two software updates that all the standard methods of jail braking iPhones was no longer working.  I had tried the blackra1n and redsnow versions and obviously neither one was effective.  After doing some extensive research it sounded like if you had a Mac there was software that would do it, but living in an Windows environment that was not a option for me.

You Can Tether Too!

Using one of the many free apps available once you jailbreak your iPhone, you an see the ad-hoc network that is sharing the AT&T Internet connection with my pc here!   It only took about 2 minutes to setup this ad-hoc network and now I am using my cell phones Internet connection on my PC, how cool is that.

Good News For 3.1.3 Users

Recently there was a new application that was released to help iPhone owners unlock and jail break their iPhones even if they were on the new 3.1.3 firmware. There has been a hack ready in waiting for the release of the new iPhone 4 OS, but until it is released there will no way for those who do not have a Apple developer account to take advantage of it.  This new jailbreak takes less than 5 minutes to complete and that includes the reboot and install of Cydia.

This is the only easy way to jailbreak an iPhone running v3.1.3 firmware that we know of.  Now, don’t get mad at us if you have any problems, these things can be kind of janky, so read up on this before you attempt to jailbreak your iPhone.  We do not claim any responsibility and all of that too…

The first thing I got installed and working was a cool set of lightning backgrounds.  Now unlike standard apps, this background software actually lets you change the background behind the icons on the iPhone.  The Winterboard allows you to tweak all sorts of setting like transparencies and if text shows under icons that are docked and pretty much anything you can think of on your iPhone “desktop”.  This was pretty cool.  Now on to testing the free tethering software that allows you to use your iPhone as a modem for any computer…..Cool!
