Download Redsn0w 0.9.6b6 to Activate iPhone 3GS / 3G and Fix Battery Drain after Ultrasn0w 1.2

iPhone Dev-Team has just released redsn0w 0.9.6b6 (Windows and Mac) to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 on iPhone 3GS/3G and update their basebands to iPad baseband 6.15.00, as most of you know that redsn0w 0.9.6b5 did that, but the new version of redsn0w 0.9.6b6 brings activation without hacktivating, or using original SIM card and increases battery life substantially, as we reported earlier, it was the most prevalent problem after unlocking iPhone 3GS/3G with ultrasn0w 1.2

Developer @sbingner (author of TetherMe) has made some excellent progress devising a new hactivation method that kills two birds with one stone for all you ultrasn0w unlockers.  His tool, “Subscriber Artificial Module (SAM)” tricks your iPhone and iTunes into creating legitimate activation tickets even though you’re unlocked with ultrasn0w.  This means you get the full benefit of push applications, and your battery life increases substantially.  If you’d like to try it out, check out http://www.bingner.com/SAM.html

To help make it easier to try out @sbingner’s tool, we’ve updated redsn0w to include a new “Deactivate” option for the 3G and 3GS.  Use this option *after* you’ve installed SAM…it will remove the normal patches made to lockdownd and let SAM take over.  (sbingner plans on making a button to do this within SAMPrefs too).  Great work, @sbingner!

Thanks @sbingner for the hard work, as usual we will prepare the full step by step guide, showing you how to use SAM and the newly redsn0w 0.9.6b6. Stay tuned.

GreenPois0n Jailbreak for iOS 4.1 will Support Hacktivation

It's the time for some jailbreak news! We just noticed a new feature will be included in GreenPois0n jailbreak for all devices running iOS 4.1. The upcoming GreenPois0n jailbreak tool will hacktivate your device. Hacker p0sixninja member of Chornic Dev Team has answered someone asking about hacktivation support in Greenpois0n.

Caio Barros asking p0sixninja about the hacktivation:

@p0sixninja will gp hacktivate ip4.. please answer. i need to know

Hacker p0six ninja answered:

@caiolbarros yes

For those who don't know, hacktivation means a lot for users whose devices are locked on AT&T carrier and don't have the official SIM. You won't need to buy a phonebook card to activate your device, so you can unlock your device easily. There still not ETA for the release, we will keep you informed about any updates (like tethered or untethered!), stay tuned!
