			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Earlier today we reported the news of the release of the <strong>iOS 4.1 beta 2</strong> by Apple. Musclenerd of iPhone Dev Team has mentioned in his tweet that the <strong>iPhone 3G<img class="alignleft" title="Jailbreak iOS 4.1 Beta 2 on iPhone 3G" src="http://tipsneeded.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/jailbreakiphone3g3.jpg" alt="Jailbreak iOS 4.1 Beta 2 on iPhone 3G" width="140" height="130" /> </strong>and iPod Touch 2G (Non MC model) could be<strong> jailbroken on iOS 4.1 beta 2 </strong>using Redsn0w 0.9.5 beta 5. Here is his tweet.<span id="more-1606"></span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1607" title="Jailbreak iOS 4.1 beta 2 on iPhone 3G" src="http://tipsneeded.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Jailbreak-iOS-4.1-beta-2.jpg" alt="Jailbreak iOS 4.1 Beta 2 on iPhone 3G" width="394" height="216" /></p>
<p>The Dev Team also mentioned the following.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>If you’ve updated to 4.1beta2 on iPhone3G or iPod2G(non-MC), you can use this redsn0w from June to jailbreak. Just point it at the 4.0 IPSW (the public one, not the developer GM one).</p>
<p>(Yes – point it at the 4.0 IPSW even though you’re at 4.1beta2).</p>
<p>Don’t do this if you need the ultrasn0w carrier unlock!!</p>
<p>Note 1: This won’t hacktivate your iPhone3G – but for those with legit access to the 4.1beta2 this shouldn’t matter. Please don’t pirate Apple software</p>
<p>Note 2: If you’re at 4.1beta2 you’ll probably experience network problems after jailbreaking. Until a new version of redsn0w is released, you may need to rely on afc2 access (such as FunBox-like file browser programs) to manipulate your filesystem.</p>
<p>Note 3: This is recommended only for power users who can deal with the problems that will pop up as the JB apps fall further behind the beta firmwares.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>If you want to<strong> jailbreak iPhone 3G on iOS 4.1 beta 2</strong>, then follow the guide posted <a href="http://tipsneeded.com/jailbreak-iphone-3g-on-ios-4-1-beta/" target="_blank">here</a><em>.</em></p>
<p>NOTE : If you find Cydia as a blank icon after the iOS 4.1 beta 2 jailbreak on your iPhone 3G, then take sources and add the repo &#8221; http://apt.saurik.com/cydia-3.7 &#8220;.<em> </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A day ago, we <a href="http://tipsneeded.com/how-to-root-droid-x/" target="_blank">posted</a> about <strong>rooting</strong> the Droid X. With the help of the instructions to <strong>root</strong> the Droid X, a member of the Android Central Forums<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1598" title="How to Root Motorola Devour" src="http://tipsneeded.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Root-Motorola-Devour.jpeg" alt="How to Root Motorola Devour" width="103" height="131" /> have been able to <strong>root Motorola Devour</strong>. Small changes and edits have been made in the process of <strong>rooting</strong> Droid X to <strong>root Motorola Devour</strong>.<span id="more-1597"></span></p>
<p>If you want to<strong> root Motorola Devour</strong>, then here are the instructions to do it taken from the <a href="http://forum.androidcentral.com/" target="_blank">androidcentralforums</a>. But do it at your own risk and normal users are recommended to stay away from the <strong>Motorola Devour rooting </strong>process if you don&#8217;t have prior experience.</p>
<p><em>(Run means type the command in quotes [but not the quotes] then press the Enter key)<br />
1.Download the attached archive and expand it to a folder you can find (eg. c:\devour_root)<br />
2.Set up ADB (You&#8217;ll need to google this part)<br />
3.On the phone: Home, Menu Button, Settings, Applications, Development: Make sure the &#8220;USB debugging&#8221; option is enabled/checked.<br />
4.Status bar, USB connection: Make sure &#8220;PC Mode&#8221; is selected.<br />
5.Open a command prompt (Windows: Start, Run, &#8220;cmd&#8221;, OK; Linux: Terminal)<br />
6.Run &#8220;adb devices&#8221;. If you don&#8217;t see your device listed under &#8220;List of devices attached&#8221;, return to step 2 and follow the link to setup ADB (use that topic for support) and return here when &#8220;adb devices&#8221; lists your X.<br />
7.Run &#8220;CD c:\devour_root&#8221; (or where ever you expanded the archive)<br />
8.Run &#8220;adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk&#8221;<br />
9.Run &#8220;adb push su /sdcard/su&#8221;<br />
10.Run &#8220;adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox&#8221;<br />
11.Run &#8220;adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals/exploid&#8221;<br />
12.Run &#8220;adb shell&#8221;<br />
13.Run &#8220;cd sqlite_stmt_journals&#8221;<br />
14.Run &#8220;chmod 755 exploid&#8221;<br />
15.On your phone, navigate to a screen where you can switch wifi/bluetooth on/off easily (settings, or a home screen with a widget)<br />
16.IMMEDIATELY after executing the next step, toggle wifi or bluetooth off and back on<br />
17.Run &#8220;./exploid&#8221; and follow directions on screen. Once this completes you&#8217;ll be back at a shell prompt.<br />
18.Run &#8220;rootshell&#8221;. You&#8217;ll be prompted for a password.<br />
19.Type in password &#8220;secretlol&#8221; and press Enter then you are root! (You&#8217;ll know because your prompt will now be a &#8220;#&#8221; instead of &#8220;$&#8221;)<br />
20.Run &#8220;mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system&#8221;<br />
21.Run &#8220;busybox cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk&#8221;<br />
22.Run &#8220;busybox cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su&#8221;<br />
23.Run &#8220;busybox cp /sdcard/busybox /system/bin/busybox&#8221;<br />
24.Run &#8220;chmod 4755 /system/bin/su&#8221;<br />
25.Run &#8220;chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox&#8221;<br />
26.Run &#8220;rm /system/bin/rootshell&#8221;<br />
27.Run &#8220;exit&#8221; to drop from root to a non-root user shell (on phone still)<br />
28.Run &#8220;exit&#8221; to drop back to your machine command prompt (instead of phone)</p>
<p>To Confirm root is established:<br />
Run &#8220;adb shell&#8221;<br />
Run &#8220;su&#8221; (now you should see the # sign which indicates you are root)<br />
Watch your screen so you can allow Superuser root access.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re done! feel free to kill the bloat apps and such. (I haven&#8217;t tested killing anything yet.)</p>
<p>NOTE: It might be a smart idea to do &#8220;rm /system/bin/rootshell&#8221; after you have su and superuser in place as ANY program will have access to your root if you leave it (cause everyone will know the password)<br />
NOTE: If the &#8216;busybox cp&#8217; commands do not work try<br />
&#8220;dd if=/sdcard/Superuser.apk of=/system/app/Superuser.apk&#8221;<br />
&#8220;dd if=/sdcard/su of=/system/bin/su&#8221;<br />
&#8220;dd if=/sdcard/busybox of=/system/bin/busybox&#8221;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you want to<strong> jailbreak</strong> the <strong>iPhone</strong> <strong>3GS</strong> on <strong>iOS 4.1 beta</strong>, then here is a guide to do that with <strong>Sn0wbreeze</strong> <strong>1.8</strong>.<img class="alignleft" title="Jailbreak iPhone 3GS 4.1 Beta with Sn0wbreeze" src="http://tipsneeded.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/jailbreakiphone3g3.jpg" alt="Jailbreak iPhone 3GS 4.1 Beta with Sn0wbreeze" width="140" height="130" /> But this guide is only for the <strong>iPhone</strong> <strong>3GSs</strong> with old bootrom as <strong>Sn0wbreeze</strong> doesn&#8217;t support the new one. Follow the steps below to<strong> jailbreak iPhone 3GS on iOS 4.1</strong> with <strong>Sn0wbreeze</strong>.<span id="more-1575"></span></p>

<p>NOTE : If you have already got an unlock, don&#8217;t update to<strong> 4.1</strong>.</p>
<p>1. Make sure that your<strong> iPhone 3GS</strong> is already <strong>jailbroken</strong> on iOS 4.</p>
<p><a href="http://tipsneeded.com/jailbreak-iphone-3gs-ios-4-sn0wbreeze/" target="_blank">Jailbreak iPhone 3GS on iOS 4</a></p>
<p>2. Connect your<strong> iPhone 3GS</strong> with the computer.</p>

<p>4. Now download the<strong> iOS 4.1 beta</strong> firmware for your device from <a href="http://tipsneeded.com/ios-4-1-beta-released-for-developers/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>5. Also download<strong> Sn0wbreeze 1.8 </strong>beta from <a href="http://tipsneeded.com/sn0wbreeze-1-8-released-download/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

<p>9. In the next screen, when <strong>Sn0wbreeze</strong> asks you &#8221; Do you want to activate your iPhone? &#8220;, click on &#8221; Yes &#8220;. Only if you have an officially supported carrier like AT&amp;T, click &#8221; No &#8220;.</p>
<p>10. Now <strong>Sn0wbreeze</strong> starts to cook the<strong> iOS 4.1</strong> beta firmware. Wait till that process ends.</p>
<p>11. When it is finished, chose your<strong> iPhone 3GS </strong>from the devices list in iTunes.</p>
