How to Double the Life of Your iPhone 3G Battery
Those of us with iPhone 3Gs certainly know the pain and frustration of having no battery left. I misplaced my iPhone earlier, so I tried calling it. It didn't work, since the battery was dead. I wish I had a battery pack sitting on it all the time.
iSteam iPhone App
iSteam exploits all the features of your iPhone (accelerometer, multitouch, microphone, speakers) like never before, for a totally realistic experience. Blow in your mic to haze the screen. (iPod users need external mic).Use your fingers to write messages and drawShake your iPhone to clear the screen and start over. Watch the droplets form and leave their mark thanks to our unique SteamX physics.

Best iPhone Games - iFighter
Developer's Notes:
***iFighter Lite has been downloaded more than 1.8 million times and this is the full version everyone is waiting for.Special introductory price $0.99 for a limited time only!***As the ace pilot of the airforce in WWII, your mission is to destroy the secret weapon prototypes of the Nazis. Fasten your seat belt and get ready for some non-stop action!Features:- 3 difficulty settings- 3 control modes- 4 huge levels- original sound tracks for all levels- spectacular end-of-level bossesRecommended for fans of 1942, 1945, Raiden, SkyForce and Siberian Strike!
For this review lets start with the conclusion first -- I really like this game. I find this game to be fun, challenging and interesting.
I find its use of the accelerometer to be superb and I find the overall gameplay pulls you into the game even though it's not the kind of game that usually pulls you in so fully.
There are three modes for how one can control the device--
motion -- which uses the accelerometer,
swipe -- which uses finger swipes on the screen to control the plane, and
joypad- in which you move your finger around the screen as if you had a joystick.
In "motion" mode you are able to turn on auto fire which keeps your plane shooting nonstop.
In the other modes were with autofire turned off you tap the screen in order to fire.
All of the modes for controlling the plane work well but I have a clear preference for the motion approach since, among other things it uses the iPhone's uniqueness.
The game is basically a series of fire/bombing missions. You fly along shooting the enemy planes and installations on the ground. All the while you do your best to survive.
Toward the end of each round there is an extra special challenge which is harder than usual.
And along the way you have a variety of "power up" options. These allow you to rapid fire, spread fire or fly with additional planes for extra power.
The game is challenging, interesting and doesn't get boring. It can best be understood by watching it straight from a quick video --

TweetGlobe
The new twitter iPhone app, TweetGlobe, shows a 3D global view of all twitter users. Instead of just seeing the username and message of Twitter updates, users will see where in the world the people they are following are located. This app uses a 3D animated globe rendered on the screen of any iPhone or iPod Touch.
The iPhone has a new app available and it involves keeping track of your tweets with reference to the new web sensation Twitter. Normally, people only get to see the person and the message but have no idea where in the world it comes from.
Optionally, TweetGlobe can also determine any user’s specific location using GPS. Posting an update through TweetGlobe will use the iPhone’s built in GPS to determine exactly where any user is tweeting from.
Now that should be very helpful for businesses and people who want to know where strange tweets are coming from. The app can be purchased from the Apple app store for $0.99.
With Tweetglobe, you can trace them as far as the point of origin of the Tweet, using a 3D animated globe rendered on the screen of any iPhone or iPod Touch.TweetGlobe also acts as a fast and simple Twitter client that allows anyone to reply to incoming tweets or post new ones on-the-fly, as well as view the Twitter public timeline.

Spotlight on The Sims 3 Player: Estatica
We interviewed Estatica about her experience with The Sims 3. Find out more about building, landscaping and her creations.
Sims 3 iPhone Character Creation
One of the things EA has been touting as The Sims 3's advancement is the characters' personality, which is applied during the character creation system. Here you're given the usual aesthetic customisation options (changing your Sim's T-shirt, haircut, shoes, eyeballs) followed by the application of five personality traits that shape their psychological makeup.
A manic Sim, for instance, could also have a good sense of humour, making him particularly good at telling jokes and goofing around, while miserable, reclusive Sims will fare much better when it comes to making the rest of the neighbourhood hate them.
But, although this is the feature EA has chosen to underline as The Sims 3's greatest enhancement, it really doesn't feel all that prevalent in play. The core duties in maintaining a Sim remain the same, such as feeding, cleaning, socialising - the lifestyle elements woven throughout the series - are independent of personality and seem to consume much more of the gameplay.
What these personality traits really offer The Sims 3 is replay value. A happy, outgoing Sim has relevant objectives, desires and abilities, useful when you want to play a game in which you climb the social ladder and build a big house. But a great alternative style of play is to become a complete nutcase - kicking over dustbins in the middle of the night, creeping out the other Sims, sneaking into their houses to use their toilets and becoming the scourge of this disgustingly utopian community.
The trouble with a sandbox game is finding this purpose for your character, and it seems to me that this is the area where The Sims 3 is actually superior. Trolling around the house, buying lamps, refurbishing the garden and redecorating the bath tub are no longer the sole activities that occupy a Sim's virtual life (although they are still present).
(Nigels cute guy looks and nice guy demeanor make him friends everywhere he goes. See how The Sims 3 lets you create unique characters like never before! )
Instead, their personalities will help them dream up weird and wonderful desires, which you can choose to act on or ignore. As surreal as many of these desires are, they're also ingeniously human.
A Sim doesn't just find himself daydreaming about how to work his way towards a promotion so he can afford the new sound system that will allow him to throw a dinner party.
Genuinely organic and random thoughts - the kind we have ourselves, but rarely vocalise - crop up at regular intervals. The desire to know how to make minestrone soup, to see what your neighbour's bathroom looks like, to make someone laugh, or to catch 15 fish in the lake – these are the thoughts that occupy a Sim's mind.
(Kim is one charismatic artist who's long on flirt and short on skirt. With more personality traits and character customization than ever, The Sims 3 lets you create unique Sims like never before!)
You're given the option of locking in a few of these desires and turning them into objectives to complete as you guide your Sim through everyday life. Often enough you'll complete an objective quite transparently while talking to a computer controlled Sim, or visiting one of the town's establishments.
There are plenty of objectives to ensure you're not repeating yourself or predicting the next task, and they don't so much dominate the gameplay as enrich it. You're still required to play the typical round of Sims, getting a job, earning some cash, buying new goods and extending the house, but it's now a more exploratory process.
Rather than being confined to the house, you've got a modest neighbourhood to trek. If you want to make minestrone soup, for example, you'll need to visit the Corsican bistro to buy the recipe, then stop by the market to buy the ingredients (and buy yourself a bit of a cooker, too).
(Zack really knows his way around the field. Too bad he doesn't know his way around a mop. See how The Sims 3 lets you create unique characters like never before! )
Heading off into the town does incur a small loading time, as the view switches from eye level to a zoomed out perspective, which presents the neighbourhood in a far more accessible bird's eye view. From here you can choose where you want to visit with a simple touch, which offers up context sensitive menus where required, or sets your Sim off walking to that point.
The same control method is employed when up close, making interaction with items and other Sims a complete doddle. Touch where you want them to walk, and off they go. Touch a lamp, and you can turn it on or off. Touch a Sim, and the menu offers a well structured system for interacting in every way possible.
The zoom function feels a little odd, since it uses a slider rather than the pinch and pull mechanics we've become accustomed to: using two fingers on the display allows you to rotate and tilt the camera angle. Sliding a finger on the screen pans the camera, so you've got an immediate and accessible method of controlling the view and ensuring you can see every detail required.
(Shes the cutest thief around, stealing hearts and TVs everywhere she goes. With more personality traits and character customization than ever, The Sims 3 lets you create unique Sims like never before! )
Which is particularly welcome, since The Sims 3 is a beautiful looking game. Despite the superb detail and animation, the iPhone handles the game's extensive use of 3D graphics with ease, and all the incomprehensible sound effects of the PC version are seamless at all times.
In the end, The Sims 3 is not a revolution in terms of its lifestyle simulator gameplay, and I'm very glad of that fact. This is an immaculate rendition of the PC game we've come to know and love, made without a single concession for being on a handheld platform.
EA is selling The Sims 3 on the strength of some nebulous, pretend personality system and the idea that it's built in such a large sandbox you'll never see the sides. But try to forget all that. It's The Sims in your pocket, in full, with all the character building and virtual life you could want.
(Saffrons a natural-born chef, and a natural-born klutz. With more personality traits and character customization than ever, The Sims 3 lets you create unique Sims like never before! )
It's as rich and inventive as ever, and needn't be trivialised with talk of evolution, or transformation, or groundbreaking technical achievement. This is The Sims, and it's on your iPhone.

The Sims 3 Addictive TV Video Remix
Check out the new video remix from Addictive TV featuring The Sims 3!
The New iPhone 3gs
Apple Announces iPhone 3GS - 3 Megapixel Camera, Magnetometer, Video Recording, Voice Control and More
It looks just like your old iPhone, only it’s more awesome. WWDC’s biggest announcement has been made, and it’s for the next generation iPhone, dubbed the iPhone 3GS. (Hint: the S stands for sexy.. or maybe just speed).
Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s announcement today of the iPhone 3GS effectively relegates the iconic iPhone 3G (8GB) to lower-tier status as a $99 entry-level iPhone. What makes the new iPhone 3GS the new hotness worthy of replacing the iPhone 3G?
Let us count the ways:
* The iPhone 3GS boasts an upgraded 3.0-megapixel camera with autofocus (tap-to-focus)
* We’re finally able to record true-blue video at 30 FPS - videos can be editing on the iPhone 3GS, with support for one-touch video uploading to YouTube
* The new iPhone 3GS features Voice control - control playlists and make phone calls with your voice
* A digital compass allows for more accurate position data and turn-by-turn GPS
* Much faster processor and 256MB RAM allows for at least 2x times speed increases when running native iPhone apps
* iPhone 3GS comes pre-loaded with OS 3.0 goodies like cut and paste, universal search, stocks, and voice memos
* MMS via AT&T (NYSE: T) later this summer
* Tethering via everybody else but AT&T
* Nike+ integration
* Battery life improved: 9 hours of WiFi use, 10 hours of video watching, 30 hours of audio listening, 12 hours of 2G talk time
You can get the full spec rundown over here. To ditch antiquated stock mark the new iPhone dawn, Apple has slashed the price of the iPhone 3G to $99 and $149.
The iPhone 3GS, however, will be available June 19th for $299 for the 32GB model, and $199 for 16GB model, both available on preorder from AT&T starting tonight. Canada, France, Germany, UK, Spain, Italy, and Switzerland should also have the iPhone 3GS available for June 19th. All in all, it looks like a solid incremental upgrade for the iPhone, if nothing mind-blowingly new.
Those who are still rocking the original iPhone will be feeling the squeeze to upgrade to the 3GS, but even then, the operating system upgrade to version 3.0 will probably be enough to sate most users. What do you guys think of the new iPhone? Is a smoother experience and a new camera worth the money? Does video recording, turn-by-turn GPS navigation and improved battery life make the iPhone 3GS worthy of the $199 price-tag?

The Sims 3 Lifetime Wish Trailer
Your Sims now have lifetime wishes, goals that they can achieve in life. Their destinies are up to you..
The Sims 3 iPhone Gameplay Video
A video demonstration of the Sims 3 game for iPhone and iPod touch has been posted by IntoMobile.
The demo is over 8 minutes long and shows how iPhone users can guide their custom “Sim” character through a virtual world as they mingle with other Sims, go to work and even decorate their house.
EA Mobile’s stable of iPhone games is already impressive, but it’s about to get even better. The mobile arm of famed game developer EA is putting the finishing touches on their latest in iPhone gaming - The Sims 3 for iPhone - and we’ve got the first-look scoop for all our readers!
These are the same guys behind iPhone-tastic gaming titles like Spore Origins, Tiger Woods PGA Tour and Need for Speed Undercover, so you know their “next big thing” is going to be, well, big. And, after spending some time with the EA Mobile team and their Sims 3 iPhone game, we’re convinced they have a hit on their hands. Keep reading for our first-look preview.
[Updated]
Now with 100% more video! (at bottom)
In The Sims 3, iPhone users can guide their custom “Sim” character through a virtual world as they mingle with other Sims, go to work and even decorate their house. From the “Romantic” trait or “kleptomaniac” trait to the “evil” trait, the player can choose from a vast amount of personalities that can combine in millions of unique Sims, which should make for some good “replay-ability.” The goal of the game is to simply to keep your Sim alive (by eating food and getting enough sleep) and achieving goals (like getting a job or buying a fishing kit) - a simple enough objective that makes for hours of addictive fun. If you’re familiar with The Sims franchise, you know what we’re talking about.
We were surprised by the game’s playability and the smooth 3D graphics (using an iPod Touch for demo purposes). All menus and navigation controls are incredibly intuitive - you flip through menus and scroll down lists with a flick of the finger. And, without being briefed on in-game controls, we managed to find our way through the Sims’ world with little trouble. The Sims 3’s iPhone-optimized UI is a testament to EA Mobile’s devotion to iPhone gaming.
The Sims 3 takes full advantage of the iPhone’s 3D graphics capabilities. The entire 3D world pans, tilts and rotates around your Sim character smoothly, without any noticeable lag. In fact, we were repeatedly impressed by the iPhone’s ability to smoothly render the 3D world with ease. sims3 07 300x200 First Look: The Sims 3 for iPhone [updated]You pan around the game with a single finger.
Dragging two fingers vertically along the touchscreen tilts the 3D view and rotating two fingers (as if you were twisting a volume-control knob) rotates the map. All the while, the game dims and raises the lighting to match the time of day in Sim-land - a nice touch to be sure.
The Sims 3 for iPhone is expected to bring the Sims franchise to the iPhone on June 2, but the version of The Sims 3 that we played with seemed just about ready for prime-time. EA Mobile said that these final weeks will be spent tweaking some minor gameplay details and adjusting the in-game soundtrack, which sounds just about right to us.

The Sims 3 iPhone Trailer
The Sims 3 is now available for your iPhone and iPod touch. Unleash your creativity wherever you go!

Brain Boost Multiply - iPhone App Store
Brain Boost Multiply is an educational game to help improve your math skills(multiplication tables). You go through the levels(from 1-12). So level 1 teaches gives you random questions that include 0s and 1s. . .level 2 gives you questions that include 0s, 1s, and 2s. . .etc.
The application tracks which questions you get right/wrong and how long it took you to answer it. If you just want to practice a particular # you can do that by picking the level you want to play.
Best iPhone Game - Super Monkey Ball
Super Monkey Ball's simple, albeit slightly left-of-center premise finds you guiding a monkey encased in a transparent ball to a goal. There are two catches: You control the environment, not the monkey, and the path to the goal becomes increasingly perilous. The simple formula works incredibly well and calls to mind the classic gaming of Marble Madness. The main game is broken down into three modes--normal, practice, and competition. Normal mode is essentially a port of the arcade game, offering a choice of three selectable difficulties. Each difficulty setting offers its own set of progressively difficult levels. Practice mode lets you perfect your skills on stages you've already cleared. Competition mode shows off one of the game's biggest strengths: its multiplayer support. While one to four players can play normal mode, they have to alternate turns. Competition mode, on the other hand, actually lets two to four players play the game simultaneously on a split screen.
In addition to the main game, Super Monkey Ball offers two original modes, party game and minigame, which offer a variety of gameplay but keep to the simplicity that makes the main game mode so appealing. Party game mode offers three games--Monkey Race, Monkey Fight, and Monkey Target. Monkey Race is a solid little racer for up to four players, complete with power-ups. You'll choose from three types: a six-course grand prix, time attack, or one-course race. Monkey Fight is a one-to-four-player brawl in one of three arenas featuring a jungle, ice, or space theme. In this mode, your monkey's ball is outfitted with a telescoping fist, which you smack opponents with. The goal is to knock your opponents off the edges of the stage as many times as possible. Monkey Target is an eclectic game for up to four players that's one part Pilotwings and one part darts. The goal is to earn points by launching your monkey off a platform and gliding it to a pad floating in the surrounding ocean. Different parts of the pad are worth different numbers of points--and successfully coming to rest on them will earn a certain score. To keep things interesting, you'll spin a roulette wheel at the start of each round to see if the game will place aerial hazards in your way.
Minigame mode makes you work to unlock the games it has to offer. When playing through the main game in single-player mode, you'll earn points. For every 2,500 points earned, you'll be able unlock one of three games--Monkey Billiards, Monkey Bowling, and Monkey Golf. Monkey Billiards lets one to two players try their hand at nine ball, monkey style. Monkey Bowling is a bowling game that offers two game options, standard and challenge. Standard mode is a straightforward bowling game for up to four players. Challenge mode is a single-player game that tests your bowling skills by offering different pin layouts in the lane for you to knock down. Finally, Monkey Golf is a miniature-golf game with two variations, stroke play and match play. Stroke play is a one-to-four-player game of 18-hole golf. Match play is a two-player competition in which your goal is to get your ball in the hole before your opponent does.
Super Monkey Ball offers a nice upgrade of the arcade version. While the graphics are very simple and cartoony, they have been freshened considerably. Super Monkey Ball makes good use of the GameCube hardware, offering clean, colorful graphics. While the four selectable monkey models and the various levels are simple in design, they are generously modeled with well-textured and shaded polygons and have a very rich look. Reflective chrome, particle effects, lighting effects, bump mapping, reflection mapping, and hi-res textures are all on display to varying degrees. The hardware handles the onscreen action quite well, maintaining a high frame rate even in four-player split-screen. The game's sound, while good, is probably the weakest aspect of the game. The game's soundtrack is a catchy mix of tunes that calls to mind some of Sega's best game music from back in the day. The monkey cries are a bit weaker, however, as they lack variety. The other sound effects in the game are solid but unspectacular.
Super Monkey Ball should be a pleasant surprise in the GameCube lineup when the system launches. Solid graphics, addictive yet accessible gameplay, and some of the best multiplayer action on the system make it a winner. New GameCube owners couldn't ask for a better party game to play with friends.
In addition to the main game, Super Monkey Ball offers two original modes, party game and minigame, which offer a variety of gameplay but keep to the simplicity that makes the main game mode so appealing. Party game mode offers three games--Monkey Race, Monkey Fight, and Monkey Target. Monkey Race is a solid little racer for up to four players, complete with power-ups. You'll choose from three types: a six-course grand prix, time attack, or one-course race. Monkey Fight is a one-to-four-player brawl in one of three arenas featuring a jungle, ice, or space theme. In this mode, your monkey's ball is outfitted with a telescoping fist, which you smack opponents with. The goal is to knock your opponents off the edges of the stage as many times as possible. Monkey Target is an eclectic game for up to four players that's one part Pilotwings and one part darts. The goal is to earn points by launching your monkey off a platform and gliding it to a pad floating in the surrounding ocean. Different parts of the pad are worth different numbers of points--and successfully coming to rest on them will earn a certain score. To keep things interesting, you'll spin a roulette wheel at the start of each round to see if the game will place aerial hazards in your way.
Minigame mode makes you work to unlock the games it has to offer. When playing through the main game in single-player mode, you'll earn points. For every 2,500 points earned, you'll be able unlock one of three games--Monkey Billiards, Monkey Bowling, and Monkey Golf. Monkey Billiards lets one to two players try their hand at nine ball, monkey style. Monkey Bowling is a bowling game that offers two game options, standard and challenge. Standard mode is a straightforward bowling game for up to four players. Challenge mode is a single-player game that tests your bowling skills by offering different pin layouts in the lane for you to knock down. Finally, Monkey Golf is a miniature-golf game with two variations, stroke play and match play. Stroke play is a one-to-four-player game of 18-hole golf. Match play is a two-player competition in which your goal is to get your ball in the hole before your opponent does.

SpaceX begins with a spaceship taking on enemies in somewhat Galaga-style action. The ship is controlled with either your finger or by tilting the iPhone/iPod touch. The controls are quite responsive — the ship moves both from left to right and up and down on the screen so you can shoot enemies and snag upgrades that float across.

iPhone Games That Rocks - FastLane 3d Racing
The first thing that hits you about Fastlane is the game’s graphics quality. Fastlane is the best looking iPhone racer, hands down. What’s more, the game runs at a decent framerate and experiences very few slow-downs. Of course, you’re racing only three other vehicles and the on-road traffic is at a bare minimum, but still–it’s a lovely looking game.

Top 5 iPhone 3G Tricks & Tips For Newbies
There are some pretty neat tricks and tips that some of the non-hardcore iPhone users might not know about, or have forgetten. I’m going to discuss them today. Ready? Let’s go!
Top 5 iPhone 3G Tricks & Tips for Newbies
1. Safari tricks: return to home + page down.
a)In Safari, instead of scrolling down you can double tap quickly just above the “+” icon and this will bring you down a page.
b)To return to the top of the page, single tap the time at the top and you’ll jump back to the top of the page.
2. Google Maps: zoom in, zoom out.
Instead of pinching out to zoom out, if you tap the screen with two fingers, the page will zoom out. Voila!
3. Save photos in Mail or Safari: You can save any photo emailed to you, or an image on a webpage. Just hold your finger down and the following prompt will appear (I think you can handle the next step):
4. One step slide for typing capital letters or numbers: Instead of pressing the “shift” or “.?123″ buttons and letting go to capitalize a letter or get a number, here’s a cool short cut. Tap the “shift”/”.?123″ button and hold your finger down, then slide to the appropriate letter or number and let go. BAM! You just saved yourself a key press! Try it out! This will increase your typing efficiency big time!
5. Surf Safari in landscape mode–in bed: A lot of people use their iPhones in bed (don’t lie, I do it too–so sad). Anyways, if you want to surf the web in Safari in landscape mode while lying on your side it can be a problem. The iPhone’s accelerometer will automatically rotate the browser whenever you turn the iPhone on its side.
To fix this problem, turn your iPhone into landscape mode–then rotate the iPhone so the Home button will be pointing towards your ceiling. This will hold Safari in landscape while you’re surfing the web in bed on your side–allowing you to keep Disconnect Anxiety at bay.
Bonus tip: Like to take self portraits with the camera? Here’s a handy tip: first hold your finger down on the shutter button and keep it there. Next, strike a pose while holding the camera at a distance–then release your finger–BAM…a photo will be taken! This method helps reduce the shake that usually occurs when you press the shutter, resulting in blurry images.
I know you might already know some of these tricks. However a lot of people don’t so this is why I’m posting them.

How To Jailbreak Your iPhone using Pwnage Tool
Jailbreaking your iphone is fun and exciting!
Source:
www.iClarified.com
This tutorial will show you how to jailbreak your 3G iPhone. It has been updated for the 2.2.1 firmware.
To learn how to use PwnageTool to unlock/jailbreak a 2G iPhone you can use the tutorial found: here.
If you have a 3G iPhone make sure you have iTunes 8.0.2 and continue.
Step One
Make a folder called "Pwnage" on the desktop. In it, you will need a couple of things. PwnageTool 2.2.5, found here or here
You will also need the 2.2.1 iPhone firmware.
2.2.1 (3G): iPhone1,2_2.2.1_5H11_Restore.ipsw
When downloading the IPSW file, it is best to download it with Firefox!
Step Two
Double click to mount PwnageTool 2.2.5 then drag the PwnageTool icon into the Pwnage folder.
Then from the Pwnage folder double click to launch the PwnageTool application.
Click Ok if presented with a warning.
Step Three
Click to select Expert Mode from the top menu bar.
Step Four
Click to select your iPhone. A check-mark will appear over the image of the phone.
Step Five
Click the blue arrow button to continue. You will be brought to the "Browse for IPSW" page. On my laptop, it automatically found the IPSW. If PwnageTool doesn't automatically find the ipsw file you can click Browse for IPSW....
Click to select the found IPSW file, a checkmark will appear next to it. Then click the blue arrow button to continue.
Step Six
You will then be brought to a menu with 7 choices. Click to select General then click the blue arrow button.
The General settings allows you to decide the partition size. Click activate the phone and Disable partition wipe-out. Click the blue arrow button.
NOTE*: Deselect Activate if you have an iPhone legitimately activated on an official carrier.
NOTE*: You may need to increase the size of the root partition slightly. My first attempt failed at creating the IPSW until I increased the size to about 695 MB.
The Bootneuter settings are greyed out for the 3G iPhone. Click the blue arrow button.
The Cydia settings menu allows you to create custom packages so you do not have to manually install the necessary them later.
Click to select the Download packages tab. Then click the Refresh button to display all the available packages. Double clicking the package you want will download it and make it available in the Select Packages tab.
Checkmark the ones you want then Click the blue arrow button.
The Custom Packages Settings menu displays listed package settings for your custom IPSW. For know leave these settings as is. Click the blue arrow button to continue.
The Custom Logos Settings menu allows you to add your own images as boot logos. Click the Browse button to select your Boot logo and Recovery logo. If you would like to use the iClarified ones they can be found here: Boot Logo, Recovery Logo.
Remember the rules for them: RGB or Grayscale format with Alpha channel and dimension bellow 320x480...
Click the blue arrow button to continue.
Step Seven
You are now ready to begin the pwnage process! Click the Build button to select it then click the Blue arrow button to begin.
Step Eight
You will be asked to save your custom .ipsw file. Save it to your Pwnage folder you created on your Desktop.
Your IPSW is not being built. Please allow up to 10 minutes.
ou will be asked to enter your administrator password. Do this then click the OK button.
When prompted if your iPhone has been Pwned before, we clicked No. It allows for a more thorough restore.
You will be asked to turn off the device. Make sure it is connected to the USB port.
Step Nine
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.
If you fail, it will show you a message. 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.
When done correctly, Pwnage 2.2 will display a message telling your that it successfully entered DFU mode. iTunes will also pop-up.
IMPORTANT***: If you have Mac OS X 10.5.6 you may have an issue with putting your iPhone into DFU mode. The easiest option is to use a USB hub between your iPhone and the computer. Another option is to run this automator script. NOTE*: Make sure the script completes properly. If the files are not replaced properly you will lose keyboard and mouse upon reboot. Later today we will post a third alternative for enabling DFU mode on your Mac.
Step Ten
In iTunes, hold the Alt/Option button and click Restore.
Step Eleven
Navigate to the Pwnage folder on your desktop using the dialog window that appears. Select the custom IPSW that was created (iPhone1,2_2.2.1_5H11_Custom_Restore.ipsw) and click the Open button.
Step Twelve
iTunes will now restore the firmware on your iPhone. This can also take up to 10 minutes.
If you so desire you may restore from a previous backup to keep all your settings or set your iPhone up fresh.
Step Thirteen
Once the restore is completed your iPhone will reboot and you will notice Cydia is present on the SpringBoard!
