Saurik Updates Cydia to Display All SHSH Files on File
December 3, 2009 by
Saurik recently tweeted that he has “finished upgrading the in-Cydia SHSH on file firmware display” and “it will now show the full list of on file firmwares.” What does this mean? Apple has made it so you have to connect to their servers via iTunes when you restore your iPhone 3GS. This let’s them approve what version of firmware you are restoring too. Then, they make it so older firmwares won’t restore, which forces you to upgrade.
Saurik has built his own authentication server that you can point iTunes to and then restore to any firmware that you’ve had installed and jailbroken since 3.0. You must approve Cydia to connect to Sauriks servers to store the SHSH authentication file. Previously, Cydia would only show that there was an SHSH file stored for firmware 3.0, but now it will show others like 3.1 and 3.1.2.
This doesn’t affect iPhone 3Gs or the 1st Gen iPhone because only the iPhone 3GS has hardware encryption.

Once on the lock screen, you can rotate through the activated lock screen plugins by tapping the Home Button. [Read more…]

Saurik Duplicates Apple’s Firmware Signing Server
September 14, 2009 by
Saurik has developed a server that you can point your iTunes to and it will not only authenticate firmware versions that Apple no longer signs (allowing them to be installed) it also saves information during the authentication and will allow you to downgrade later if Apple doesn’t want you to. This blog post he wrote is a really good read, but it’s really long. Here’s a quick highlight but make sure you read the whole thing here: saurik.com/id/12 [Read more…]
