Our good ol' friend Erica Van Susteren Saden released another quality release of her utilities package Erica Utilities today. Although not done deliberately, her new version changes parameter names and certain output formats in the `plutil` utility, damaging Installous and Crackulous and causing applications to fail during installation.

Thanks to poedgirl, apocolipse, Genius, Hopple, and last but not least NOT Genius and I, we have a new version of both Installous and Crackulous on the repos which works with the changes in her programs.

These updates will allow you to install and crack applications as before. We strongly advise the upgrade. (also you need to upgrade erica utils too)

These have been added to our repositories as of this post.

Installous is now updated to 2.0.3 (11:40 PST)

Edit: Right now Crackulous is very unstable to work with (while we await a new version from saladfork ) so we have not updated it. We suggest not installing Erica Utils if you want to continue using Crackulous.

With the iPhone Dev Team's recent release of the OS 3.0-enabled PwnageTool for Mac, all attention has turned here for news about how this will affect the *ulous tools and services. I'm proud to announce that everything is in ship-shape!

The only change is how you sync your iDevice with iTunes. So here's some large colored letters for you ADHD folk who won't read these tiny black ones:

miPatch WILL NOT WORK on OS 3.0! Do NOT install it!

Instead, install AppSync for OS 3.0. It has the same effect as miPatch: you'll be able to sync your apps to and from iTunes. But it's made specifically for OS 3.0. You can find this in our regular Cydia repo.

A *HUGE* thanks to Reilly for this release!

Can't find it, or getting a mismatch error? Just go to the "Changes" tab in Cydia and press the "Refresh" button at the top of the screen.

All other Hackulous products and services should be working without a hitch. Installous is running great, and the grand majority of cracked apps on Appulous will run on 3.0 without any extra work on your part.

Enjoy!

-------------------
AppSync Changelog:
v1.1:
- Changed to Reilly's patch. This patch changes only one instruction in the installd file, and should be safer than 1.0.

v1.0:
- First version of AppSync, using samtheman's installd patch.

Today, Apple released iPhone OS 3.0, an anticipated upgrade of functionality to the iPhone. Many new things have been added to the OS in preparation of the iPhone 3G S coming out very soon!

What does this mean for iPhone jailbreakers and pirates?

Fortunately for us, very little progress needs to be made in order to accommodate for the new release!

iPhone Jailbreaking

The iPhone Dev Team is set to release a new QuickPwn and Pwnage Tool today or tomorrow. Both of those programs will allow you to install jailbroken 3.0 on any device (all iPhones and iPod Touches) that have been released.

Cracked Apps

miPatch (mobileinstallation patch) is a patch necessary in order to install cracked iPhone apps on a jailbroken iPhone. Progress has been made on this patch for the new version of the firmware despite some extra modifications that need to be made.

We expect to hopefully, shortly after release, have a miPatch usable on 3.0. Until then, if you have installed 3.0 on any previously jailbroken iDevices you cannot expect to be able to sync your cracked apps without it being 1) Jailbroken, and 2) patched to allow for it.

And for you unlockers...

If you're not in the loop about unlocking 3G, a tool called "ultrasn0w" was announced and demonstrated last night. Developed by the iPhone Dev Team, it will be available on the 19th of June (this Friday).

Stay tuned!

MOD NOTE: This is not the thread to ask questions about how to upgrade or jailbreak. It would be mass chaos to try to answer 100 people's questions all in the same thread. If you have a question, please search the forum, and if you absolutely can't find your answer, then make a new thread in the appropriate section. But please understand that, until we have the opportunity to run a 3.0 jailbreak ourselves, we probably won't know much more than you do.
