Yes we are back yet again with how to jailbreak and unlock your 2G iPhone on the 3.1 iPhone firmware. As for this tutorial we are using the latest version of Pwnage Tool that is 3.1 . Before we head over to crack the iPhone wide open here are few stuffs you need to make sure you have .

Alright, first make a folder on the desktop preferably name it as Pwnage. In it, few things we need. First of them the bootloader files
- BL 3.9
- BL 4.6

Pwnage 3.1, found here or here.
You will also need the 3.1 iPhone firmware.
3.1.0 (2G): iPhone1,1_3.1_7C144_Restore.ipsw

If you are downloading the ipsw using your browser make sure its Firefox otherwise the file might self extract.

So now that we have all the stuffs that we can proceed to the unlock and jailbreak.

Step One.

If you already created the folder Pwnage and put the stuffs there you can skip this step.

Step Two

Mount the Pwnage dmg and drag and drop the Pwnage Tool to the Pwnage Folder.

Step Three

Launch the Pwnage app and now click on the Expert Mode

Step Four

Now select your iPhone or iPod from the three devices shown. A large green checkmark should appear over the selected device. Then click the blue arrow button at the bottom right.

Step Five

Now you will be greeted with a “Browse for IPSW” page. Usually it will automatically find the ipsw but if PwnageTool doesn’t automatically find the ipsw file you can click Browse for IPSW… button and locate it.

Step Six

After you have selected the ipsw, a menu with 7 choices will appear.

Click to select General then click the blue arrow button. The General settings allows you to select the partition size. Make sure you check activate the phone and enabled baseband update. Now proceed by clicking on the blue button.

In the Bootneuter settings, check Neuter bootloader, Unlock baseband, and Auto-Delete BootNeuter.app.You can either select 3.9 or 4.6 bootloader. Click the blue arrow button to continue.

Go to Cydia settings this will allow you to create custom packages so you do not have to manually install the necessary them later which is usually way faster then installing using wifi or your Edge bandwidth.

The Custom Logos Settings menu allows you to add your own images as boot logos which is not really necessary but incase you prefer you own apple boot logo then so be it.

Step Seven

Before moving to make your custom ipsw make sure you double checked all the settings. Click the build button to select it, then click the blue arrow button.

Step Eight

Pwnage Tool will ask you to search for the bootloader files over the internet. Click no, you will be prompted to browse for the 3.9BL file. Click Yes then select the file(BL-39.bin) from the Pwnage folder you created on your desktop and click the Open button. Same goes for the 4.6 bootloader file.

Step Nine

After both bootloaders are found. You will be asked to save your custom .ipsw file. Save it to your Pwnage folder on the desktop. Building your ipsw will take around 8 to 10 minutes.

If prompted enter your Administrator password and click OK.

Step Ten

When prompted if your iPhone has been Pwned before, click No if you haven’t already unlocked your iPhone. But if you have done just click yes and the custom firmware will be in the Pwnage folder which you can restore using your iTunes.

Step Eleven

Now you need a little jiffy fingers here. Be ready to follow directions now. It will ask you to hold the home button and the power button for 10 seconds. Then, you will have to release the power button and hold the home button for 10 seconds to enter DFU mode. If  done correctly Pwnage 3.1 will display a message telling your that it successfully entered DFU mode. iTunes will also pop-up. If you fail to do so a message will appear stating you failed to enter DFU mode. Click Yes. Unplug the iPhone from the USB. Turn it off, then turn it back on. Plug it back into the USB and turn off the iPhone when prompted.

Step Twelve

In iTunes will pop open with a message saying your iPhone has gone into DFU mode. Now in iTunes go to your iPhone menu hold the Alt/Option key and click Restore. Browse over to the folder where you have the custom firmware select it and let iTunes do the restore process. In about 10 minutes you’ll have your iPhone unlocked and jailbroken.

Playstation Portable is indeed a universal device. If overclocking wasn’t enough for your PSP, you could use it as an alternative for your computer monitor. Here’s how.

This method requires you to do some homework. Just install PSPDisp on your PSP and connect it to your computer with an USB cable.

After that it will be just like an ordinary windows monitor. Place icons and other windows widgets on the screen and play your media just normally how you do. You can also do the opposite. Control actions on the PSP and see the results on the monitor. Quiet handy if you want to move around in your den. Video after the break.

I have been hearing this for about a month or two but never actually wanted to try it. But a friend here has tried it and says it works wonders. Make your Sony Playstation Portable more powerful by overclocking it.

It might even be called factory underclocked. The installed CPU should originally run on 333 Mhz while in reality runs only at 222 Mhz. Some games play like a slideshow in complex scenes involving complicated environment. Answer:  Custom PSP Firmware from Team M33.

Not only it does the overclocking, it can also backup UMD movies and games and run PSP cheats right from the memory. 

After the BIOS is installed, to set the turbo speed as your default on the PSP, you will have to access the recovery menu. To do that, hold down the right shoulder button while you are turning your PSP on. 

Now navigate to CPU Speed. Select the ‘Speed in UMD/ISO’ which changes the speed for games and movies. The ‘Speed in XMB’ is for the dashboard. Keep in mind, selecting higher speeds requires a lot of battery so you better use this only for the games. Select ‘333′ (maximum) and go back to the main menu. 

Thats it! Now you have a PSP that runs on 333 Mhz. You will notice a difference in games you play and the movies you watch. 

NOTE: Upgrade to a 16GB memory stick for this firmware to run smoothly.

Have you encountered the dreaded RROD that every Xbox 360 users gets nightmares just thinking about it. If you ever came across a RROD, it typically means that your Xbox 360 is completely done for and needs to go to Microsoft for repairs. Microsoft have officially recognized this as designs flaws and not enough quality assurances tests done on their part so they decided to extend the warranty of the console to 3years. Some of you might even tried the infamous “towel fix” but this time lets do some real stuff that will last.

Still there is a debate on what actually causes the RRoD, but according to the folks at iHacked they believe its is just a soldering issue.

“Generally, the 3rrod error is caused by a solder problem, where points on the GPU/CPU have worked loose – or a temperature problem causing the same result. Following this guide, you should be able to fix these joints, quickly and easily! We have used this process to repair over 10 Xbox360s successfully.”

Just take a look at the video and i’m sure if you bricked your 360 and screwed your warrenty opening it before the Microsoft tech staffs, I’m sure a new wave of hope will hit your head and that dusty 360 might have a chance. Apparently they tested this method on 10 different 360’s and fixed each of the ten different ones that had gotten the RRoD.

We previously showed you how to hack your W810i phone to install flash menus. Today we will show you how to flash your (k750,d750) to W800……yes to Walkman edition.

Pictures are include to make the flashing much easier. Few things you need to make sure before working on the hack. 1. Make sure your battery is fully charged 2. This conversion is only possible since both the the K750 and the D750 don’t try on the other phones. This tutorial will work only for CID36 phones, not for CID49. For CID49, you have to make some changes.

Here are the Main and FS files, download em.
Main And FS

2. After downloading Far manager. Start it and then press alt + F1 and you’ll get this screen. Now press SEFP. Make sure you turn off you mobile before pressing SEFP.

3.

Make sure everything looks just as the picture and do what it asks when you enter the Matrix.

4.

After that it will load lots of stuff, now Press Flash

5.

Now highlight your main file by either holding shift and moving the arrow key
So highlight your main file. By either holding shift and moving the arrow keys. (highlighted means its yellow.) now press f5.

6.

Now after you pressed f5 you should get this screen..now just press on copy but make sure nothing is highlighted

7.

After doing that another menu will pop up. Make sure the stuffs on the menu are exactly as the ones on the picture. And check BABE FLASH SSW. Just follow the image. For the people who cant find the number.. its W800 – MAIN Firmware – 44020000 – 013E0000
So after all that just press flash and it should take a while so be patience. Then it should finish

8. When the flashing finishes it will show this menu.

Now you are nearly trough the half way. Now lets proceed to the FS file now.

1. Now choose the FS file and copy it.

2.Now back to the number thing again. Check the Babe Flash ssw again. and copy the numbers W800 – FS Language – 45400000 – 00B00000

Now unplug the the phone, and quit FAR by pushing f10. Then reload it again, your gonna have to finalize it.

When you go through the SEFP thing where you plug in your phone. Go to FS instead of flash this time. And go to /tpa/preset/custom/.

EDIT: In the finalizing files theres a customize.xml document. You can edit the file by right clicking it and clicking edit. You edit for the CDA Number for the language you want. I already have the most common languages on there. So I assume you won’t need to.

Go to the folder where you extracted the Complete.Rar file(files are below). And copy all the files.
