Redsn0w 0.9.6 RC7 Includes Support For "One-Click" Tethered 4.2.1 Jailbreak

#Redsn0w 0.9.6 RC7 http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
MusleNerd posted the following via Twitter
"We've updated redsn0w to include "one-click" support for those of you running the tethered 4.2.1 jailbreak.  Using command-line arguments, you can now bypass the screens you'd normally see as you use redsn0w to "Just boot tethered for now".

The available command line arguments are:

-j to ask redsn0w to "Just boot now"
-i to specify your reference IPSW
-o for old-bootrom iPod touch 2G and iPhone 3GS
-b to specify your own boot logo png

For example, to get redsn0w for Mac to do a tethered boot of an iPod touch 4G jailbroken at 4.2.1:

open ~/Desktop/redsn0w.app --args -j -i ~/Desktop/iPod4,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw

This assumes both redsn0w and the IPSW are on your OS X desktop, so modify as necessary!  Included in the zip is an example script file that you can double click on to launch redsn0w like this (the Windows
example assumes everything is in C:\).  (Mac users: please remember to change the permissions of your custom *.command files to allow execution.)

This should help ease the pain of the tethered jailbreak until @comex comes up with a 4.2.1 untether (or for those of you with legit access to the 4.2b3 IPSW, until the "Jailbreak Monte" untether is out of beta)!

- PLEASE UPGRADE TO iTunes 10.1 FOR BEST RESULTS
- WINDOWS 7 USERS SHOULD RUN redsn0w IN "XP COMPATIBILITY" MODE
- Make sure you're using a USB 2.0 port

China BansSkype And Other VoIP Services.

China Bans #Skype And Other #VoIP Services http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
Chinese government has announced that it is banning all VoIP services based outside. It seems China is trying to protect profits for the country's own telecomm companies, state-owned networks, China Unicom, China Telecom and China Mobile. Chinese Telecomm companies have become very powerful given the massive numbers in their user base. Even though not very clear, people will be able to make calls over these company networks.
The new regulation bans calls from Skype or other VoIP services to land lines. But according to Skype, it's users in China are still could access Skype via Tom Online. Tom Online is widely criticized for monitoring online conversations foe "sensitive" materials.
Either way it will be a difficult task to control all VoIP IP Telephony calls, even though Skype calls to landlines could be controlled by blocking PSTN gateways within controlled networks.
Neither Telecomm companies nor Chinese government has responded to calls from various news agents and journalists.

How To Fix iPhone Alarm Bug! Alarmgate.

#iPhone #Alarmgate http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
Just like the Antennagate, aka "You Do NOT Know How To Hold The iPhone 4!", Apple left a new year gift on our desk tops. Many people who were relying on iPhone to wake up found them missing flights, being late for work and having so many troubles. Well my alarm is on a Droid!  and it worked fine, even woke me up to read the news about iPhone alarm bug. But my partners iPhone alarm, which was also running iOS 4.1 went off without a hitch. Perhaps because of the new year rituals, she had to set the alarms anew.
So if you have an iPhone running iOS 4.0.2, iOS 4.2 or iOS 4.2, you can follow the simple procedudure below to fix the alarm or just wait till Monday as Apple suggests.
Run the Clock set an alarm by tapping "+" and set your alarm as you want. Select "Repeat" and set the desired repeat interval and "Save". You are done.

Hope you guys wake up on time and catch that plane or bus.
