iH8sn0w tweeted that he managed to find a way to Dowgrade a 3GS iPhone from firmware 3.1 to 3.0!

This process is extremely useful for all those people who have installed the original 3.1 firmware and have apparently lost all hope to be able to jailbreak their iPhone. This will also help those people who buy an iPhone 3G S with 3.1 preinstalled. iH8sn0w rekindled the hope of allowing re-install the firmware 3.0 on your device, after which all you will have to do is wait for the Dev Team to work its magic. Again I must say that this is only useful for people with an iPhone 3G S who accidentally upgraded to 3.1 or were forced to upgrade to 3.1 because your iPhone messed up. If you don’t feel safe sending your personal iPhone data to someone than don’t do it simple as that.

Remember hearing that one of the new features of iPhone OS 3.1 was an anti-phishing capability for Safari? Jim Dalrymple over at The Loop wondered if it was working properly, and asked Apple what was going on. The response?

“Safari’s anti-phishing database is downloaded while the user charges their phone in order to protect battery life and ensure there aren’t any additional data fees,” Apple spokesman, Bill Evans, told The Loop. “After updating to iPhone OS 3.1 the user should launch Safari, connect to a Wi-Fi network and charge their iPhone with the screen off. For most users this process should happen automatically when they charge their phone.”

What this apparently does is allows Safari to completely download the anti-phishing database, which is necessary before the feature will work. It also appears that you’ll need to update the database on occasion in the same way — charge your iPhone with Safari up and the screen off.

As always, TUAW urges you to practice safe computing, so enabling anti-phishing in this odd Apple-approved manner is highly recommended.

Since the launch of the iPhone 3GS, public perception of AT&T has progressively decreased, while opinions about competitor Verizon Wireless remained relatively unchanged, a new study shows.

In a daily survey of 5,000 people 18 and older, YouGov’s BrandIndex tracks companies based on factors of quality, value, satisfaction, recommendation, reputation and impression. When combining those categories, AT&T’s index score of 18.3 on June 16 had eroded to a 14.6 on Thursday — a change company senior vice president Ted Marzilli told AppleInsider is “statistically significant.”

He said the survey could indicate that some people may pause before they buy an iPhone because they don’t want to be locked into an AT&T contract. Though he believes the contract between AT&T and Apple has likely been beneficial to both parties for the last two years, the timing of AT&T’s public perception decline suggests the issue can be traced to the launch of the iPhone 3GS — or, more specifically, the network’s inability to meet the bandwidth needs of users with the device.

“It may be hindering iPhone adoption at this point,” Marzilli said, “and Read more…

So as of today, Apple has stopped signing 3.0 and 3.0.1 restore files. That means that if you have a 3GS iPhone you cannot restore any firmware other than 3.1. If you are happily jailbroken today and something goes wrong you are pretty much screwed.  Here is a summary:

1) If you have an iPhone 3g or 2g, you are fine and should be able to restore.

2) If you have a 3gs, you can only restore 3.1 (and kiss your jailbreak good bye). If you did not get an IBSS/IBEC signature before now and you restore, you may never be able to jailbreak again.

3) If you have an iPhone 3GS and you used Cydia to save your TSS or did purplera1n or similar a while back and saved your IBEC, then you will be able to restore in the near future, but you must wait for someone smart to write a utility that will let you do it.  Chances are good that such a utility will come out in a couple days. If you can be patient and wait, do so. No one wrote this utility prior to this because we were not sure if Apple would actually stop signing 3.0 – only that they *could*.

It looks like an exploit has already been found in 3.1 firmware so it sounds like a jailbreak will be possible, but again, hold out for a bit.

Networking to spin further speculation regarding Apple’s event tomorrow. There are various rumors from various sources that we quote in one article.

The first concerns a new version of the App Store that we should end up with the Firmware 3.1. The application, with a new division, would find content more easily, providing greater visibility to all developers. This improvement was also announced by Apple itself but it was never fixed a date.

The second title comes from Mark Armet, the developer of Instapaper and Tumblr. According to him the change of the entire iPod line will result in the disappearance of the iPod Classic for iPod Touch 4 new models with different capacities. There will be an 8GB model will cost only $ 149, up to the 64GB version at $ 349.

Others have focused on the possibility of having the iPhone TV rentals to lead and manage TV shows directly on the iPhone. Fluke firmly believes the arrival of a Beatles album fully remastered.

TechCruch finally argues that iTunes 9 will integrate a service based on a server “cloud” that will act as a bridge between the application of computers and our iPhone, perceptive to watch movies in streaming.

In short, the expectations are really so many, we hope to remain truly surprised!

Reilly the person who has put out appsync that lets you use cracked ipa files on your iPhone has created a new cracked mobileinstallation patch. Below is what Reilly had to say:

” You probably already know that my first installd patch is floating around the net (also known as AppSync )

But I have something better: a patched installd file which doesn’t need ANY changes to the info.plist.

What does that mean:
It means there is no SignerIdentity needed anymore So all checks developers do to the info.plist will fail as long as we have the original info.plist.

Where is the problem:
1. this only works on OS 3.0, not 2.x. so people with 2.x will still have to have signerIdentity in the info.plist :/

2. all the cracking tools are currently modifying the info.plist, so to get it working we need to get the Read more…

Apple and its exclusive US wireless provider AT&T could soon deliver new carrier-specific features to iPhone users through a future software update in a bid to increase customer satisfaction.

At least one of the enhancements, according to those claiming knowledge of the matter, would be similar to the Visual Voicemail feature made popular on the iPhone two years ago, in that it may require AT&T to tailor changes to its network.

In particular, the two parties are said to be mulling the possibility of enabling the following capabilities through an update to the iPhone’s software that could arrive before year’s end:

• Overage Alerts: A proposed new setting under the iPhone’s “Phone” preferences would allow users to customize a push notification — in the form of a badge, message, or sound — to be issued when they’re in danger of exceeding their monthly anytime minutes.
• New Voicemail Options: A new “Voicemail” setting, also proposed as an addition to the touch-screen handset’s “Phone” preferences, would provide a means for users to disable Read more…
