Redsn0w 0.9.14b2 Released With iPad Baseband Downgrade Fix and Auto DFU Mode
The long expected new version of Redns0w 0.9.14b2 finally debuted today on 4^th of July. This new version of Redsn0w 0.9.14b2 was expected to debut the week before. Unfortunately it got delayed due to the iPhone 3GS that was donated for the fix of the iPad Baseband Downgrade got delayed. The Dev-Team received the iPhone few days back and after going through some testing, they released the new version of Redsn0w. This new of version of Redns0w doesn’t bring any new jailbreak support; it only allows the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G users to downgrade their iPad Baseband to the old baseband of 5.13.02.

The new version of Redsn0w 0.9.14b2 not only brings the fix for the iPad Baseband Downgrade, it also adds support for Auto DFU Mode for users who got their Home Button/Power Button broken and cannot go into DFU mode for a normal restore to the official IPSW. Below is the complete change log of the new release of Redsn0w 0.9.14b2.
Happy 4th of July! Today’s release of redsn0w 0.9.14b2 improves the iPad baseband downgrade and should cover anyone who couldn’t downgrade with 0.9.14b1. This version covers 3 different types of NOR chips in the iPhone 3G and 3GS (the earlier version covered only the most prevalent NOR chip). We’ve also simplified the process and added logging to help diagnose any remaining stubborn iPhones.

The revised steps are:
1. Connect your iPhone in normal mode, then click “Jailbreak” after redsn0w identifies its model and BB version (you needn’t pre-select the IPSW anymore).
2. Choose the “Downgrade from iPad baseband” option (you needn’t worry about de-selecting Cydia anymore).
3. Do a controlled “slide to power off” shutdown of your phone and proceed through the normal DFU ramdisk steps.
Should the downgrade fail to take, feel free to leave the redsn0w log in the comments below. Use the “Extras->Even more->Backup” button to grab a copy of /var/mobile/Media/redsn0w_logs, then extract the log text file(s) from the zip and paste them into the comments (currently that log file is generated only during baseband downgrade runs).

Here are some words on the DFU Mode:

DFU IPSW

We’ve gotten a lot of feedback from users who can’t launch a DFU ramdisk because their iPhone home/power buttons are broken or intermittent. We’ve added a new redsn0w feature that lets you enter DFU mode as long as your phone is healthy enough to restore to a normal, everyday IPSW. You don’t need to be already jailbroken to use this method.

In redsn0w, go to “Extras->Even More>DFU IPSW” and select an IPSW that is currently being signed for your device and that you’d normally be able to restore to without any hacks. redsn0w will create an “ENTER_DFU_” version of the IPSW that you can restore to just like any other IPSW, except that now you’ll be dumped into DFU mode towards the end of the restore (WARNING, your screen will remain completely black…the only way to even know its on is that iTunes and redsn0w will detect it!). The technique used by this feature is 3 years old but surprisingly still works today!

Here are the download links. Enjoy!

- redsn0w 0.9.14b2 (Windows — run in Administrator Mode)
Stay tuned with us because we will be coming with an updated Tutorial shortly.

iPhone 4 Went on Flames in a Guy’s Pocket Caught on Camera (Live Video)

The tittle might sound like you are going to see some T.V Reality show. Unfortunately, this is not a T.V Show called Caught on Camera. This is something really strange happened with Henri Helmine’s, a 17-year old Teenager going to his job on this very fine day when he finds a smoke raising out of his pocket. When he sees the smoke out of his pocket, he realizes that the iPhone 4 resting in his pocket is on fire. He immediately throws out the iPhone 4 on the ground to avoid any major injury that could be done by that iPhone 4 on fire.

Amazingly this act was caught on a C.C.T.V placed on the near by store where Henry parked his car. You can see the C.C.T.V Footage below of the iPhone on fire live.

Live Video:

According to Henri, the iPhone was working well without any issues. He bought the iPhone 3-months back. The reason that Henri told about the iPhone going on fire must be due to the Battery. The battery might have got some issues due to which it made other parts go heat up causing fire.

This new trend has started in Apple iDevices. This is not the first time that you would be hearing about the iPhone gone on fire due to Battery issue or some issue. This might be the fifth or sixth time or more than this. In past Apple’s iDevices have gone on fire due to battery issues in the iDeivces and Apple took some action against those iDevices. Till now Apple hasn’t responded on this incident yet. We hope that Apple’s respective department should contact Henri regarding this incident and make their quality department more active. This issue is something to be taken care of.

Recently, following this trend of Phone on fire Samsung’s Galaxy S 3 went on fire from the backside of it after doing some sparks. You can read our detailed coverage here.

T-Mobile U.K Store Precisely Destroyed by an Angry Customer (Video)

An angry customer destroyed the T-Mobile store in U.K very precisely. None of the store employee dared to interrupt his progress. The angry customer totally ripped off the T-Mobile store interior easily from wall hanging to demo shelves of the cellphones. Can you imagine? We also couldn’t imagine this happening so easily by a single person. We also thought that this couldn’t be done by a single man until we saw the video proof of that.

Below attached is the video of that person destroying T-Mobile Store precisely without any fear or anything. The video was shot by Niall, who was available on the site of the scene. Luckily, that person filmed the whole scene and uploaded to the YouTube channel.
Video:

After seeing the video, it looks like the customer got an outrageous bill from the T-Mobile company that made him visit the store and do some outrageous changes to the interior of the store. The store went under some interior changes on Saturday, as noted by Mashable and the T-Mobile store location is said to be Manchester, England.

The best thing in the video is the finishing that the angry customer does. He picks up the fire extinguisher and sprays it on the broken products. The most amazing thing was the T-Mobile Store employee who somewhat looks like Mario Balotelli, the Italian football player stands in the right corner and see the man destroy all the stuff. Technically the store employee waits for the police to arrive and take some action.

You people must have enjoyed the video as the crowed enjoyed the live stream of it. However, what could be the possible reason behind destroying the store? Can you guess or suggest any reason that made the guy go destroy the T-Mobile store?
