Apple's next big media event will be held on October 4th, where freshly minted CEO Tim Cook is expected to unveil theiPhone 5. Sources close to the situation say Cook will be the main presenter at the event, with execs Phil Schiller, Scott Forstall and Eddy Cue playing supporting roles. This would mark the first time that Cook has actually led an Apple event, adding an extra wrinkle of significance to an already highly anticipated occasion. The site's sources went on to say that the next-gen iPhone will be available for purchase "within a few weeks" of the announcement, The exact date of its unveiling is still subject to change.

Well, you can't say Cupertino isn't being consistent. Just like last time, Apple's gone and released a new beta of iOS 5, less than two weeks after the last one. Not much of interest pops out of build 9A5313E's release notes, but we'd presume it squashes a fair share of bugs. Hit up settings to begin the roughly 70MB OTA update, or test those browser downloading skills at the dev portal linked below. And while you're there, don't forget to snag updated versions of Xcode, iTunes, and an updated firmware for the second-generation AppleTV. Peep a screenshot of the OTA after the break and let us know how you fare in comments.

DO NOT UPDATE!!! You will loose your jailbreak.

iOS 5’s on-device delta updates can’t come soon enough. Just a week and a half after releasingiOS 4.3.4, Apple has dropped iOS 4.3.5. Apple says that the new update fixes a security vulnerability with certificate validation.

The recently released iOS 4.3.4 focused on patching PDF vulnerabilities that some folks were using to jailbreak their devices, but could be exploited for more nefarious means, too.

As is the iOS update tradition of late, this patch comes in two different flavors: The 4.3.5 update applies to the iPad and iPad 2, the third- and fourth-generation iPod touch, the iPhone 3GS, and the iPhone 4 (GSM model); if you’re using a CDMA (Verizon) iPhone 4, you instead will upgrade to 4.2.10.

Under eight hours. That was the time it took to jailbreak beta 3 of iOS 5, which dropped back on July 11th and was unleashed later that day. Now beta 4 is out and, well, our stopwatches are ticking. A new beta of iTunes has also been included, though looking through the change log there's nothing particularly amazing about this release. Among other minutia, the Twitter app will now prompt you if it's unable to identify your location before you exit it, MobileMe local contacts are deleted instead of being merged, and iCloud file names are now case sensitive. Yes, we can hear you CamelCase lovers cheering.

iOS 4.3.4 Jailbreak is still tethered so do not update at this time..

Apple has just pushed a new version of iOS, 4.3.4 (4.2.9 for the Verizon iPhone), and it looks to have "fixed" the PDF exploit that has been so notoriously exploited of late. In a summary of what's changed, Apple indicates that a fix has been applied that will prevent "arbitrary code execution" when viewing a "maliciously crafted PDF" -- business speak for "we broke your jailbreak, son." And, sure enough, you can see what happens after the break when trying to apply the latest. At this point we're not seeing any other updates or improvements but, really, now that you can view those malicious PDFs without fear on your iPhone or iPad 2, what more do you need?

Keep in mind that the jailbreak is tethered for now, in other words, if  your  device loses power or restarts then you would have to boot it into  the  jailbroken state again. No matter how annoying it may sound, but  its better  than having no jailbreak at all.

I will Post an update when iOS 4.3.4 becomes Untthered

TinyUmbrella has reached the latest version 5, and is available for free download.

This version works on both operating systems, Microsoft Windows and Mac OX S.

TinyUmbrella is a tool that is able to allow users to downgrade their iOS version on iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad, iPad 2, iPod Touch Apple TV 2G by “signing” an older version of a firmware (SHSH blobs) and also allowing to build a custom .ipsw using these blobs.

This backup SHSH Blobs process can be also done using iFaith (no iPad 2 support yet), as a recovery tool released by iH8Sn0w.

Saving SHSH Blobs might be a smart idea prior to jailbreak a new iOS and probably indispensable for some beta versions, or with some unsure methods like jailbreaking iPad 2 on iOS 4.3.3. So, we are here to present a a way to backup a firmware running on your iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad, iPad 2, iPod Touch or Apple TV 2G.

How to save your SHSH Blobs using TinyUmbrella 5:

First of all, you’ll need to download TinyUmbrella 5 for Windows or Mac OS X, depending under what OS you’re running. Put the software to your desktop, and allow access as administrator.

Be sure you have closed iTunes before to connect your device to computer.

- Start TinyUmbrella 5 from your dektop

- Connect your device (iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad, iPad 2, iPod Touch or Apple TV 2G) to computer via USB. Wait for TinyUmbrella to recognize your device.

- After you’ve been detected by TinyUmbrella, navigate in the application on your iOS device and point to “Save SHSH”

- Select “Save SHSH”, hit it, and save it to your desktop. That’s all.

The iOS 4.1.1 update is expected to be released soon by Apple. According to ZDNet, the current version of the iOS 4.1 software has a daylight savings bug which Apple says it will fix and release in an upcoming update.
The limera1n jailbreak was recently released, causing the greenpois0n jailbreak with SHAtter exploit to be delayed. Apple may be patching up the “untethered” part of the exploit used in limera1n once iOS 4.1.1 comes out, so it’s good that greenpois0n SHAtter exploit was saved. If you are using limera1n, remember to stay away from iOS 4.1.1 update as it’s just a minor update.

Update: By patched I mean that the untethered part of the jailbreak can be patched. You can still jailbreak your device and have it tethered, but that would be really annoying because you’d need to connect your device to your computer every time you reboot it.

It’s a trap!

Today you’ll likely start seeing iTunes innocently offer you a new version of iOS…version 4.1. Don’t accept it…it’s a trap!

This time of year there are lots of new iPhone owners, and not everybody knows that accepting new iOS updates is the surest way to lose your jailbreak and/or unlock. While those of you who have Cydia or TinyUmbrella backups of your FW hashes will always be able to get back to 4.0.1 if you make this mistake, this doesn’t hold for unlockers. There’s currently no known way to revert your baseband — if you update your baseband you’ll lose the ultrasn0w unlock, possible forever.

iPhone4 baseband isn't updated in 4.0.2, but ultrasn0w requires JB. 4.0.1 SHSH blobs will protect you from "oops" update
