TinyUmbrella 4.1.12 Released

TinyUmbrella 4.1.12 is available and has many bugfixes and features. Hope it helps! BTW Check out the FAQ above or in the quick links under HELP!

  • Save All SHSHs - Click on 'Show All SHSHs' and the Save SHSH button changes to Save All SHSHs
  • Exit Recovery - Right Click on a recovery device and 'Exit Recovery'
  • Change device name - Double click on a Known Device to change its name.
Preferences:
  • When connecting a device, prefer my custom device name over the name set on the device - This preference will use the name(s) you set over the name found on the device. Useful for folks with many friends that have phones named 'iphone'

It also goes without saying that I'm also working on activation/itunes-less restores. It is just going to take a /very/ long time.

New TinyUmbrella Site Design

I got a little bored with the dark motif and decided to brighten up the blog. I've also been working on some new tweaks to the app. I've heard your cries and am looking at many options for automated/in-place updates for TinyUmbrella. I feel your pain with 10+ updates in a single day (ouch). Here's what is coming soon for TinyUmbrella:

  • Editable device name tags
  • An option to keep the name you specify or override it with what is on the device
  • Moved the buttons to the top of the screen (for those of you with small vertical resolution)
  • Added 'Save All SHSHs' functionality to the Save SHSH button when you have 'Show All SHSHs' selected
  • Improved device detection in recovery mode.
As far as errata go, I've decided to move to a much slower release pace. I'll fix emergency bugs if they should arise but I won't be releasing many revisions in a single day like I have in the past.
In the near future I plan on releasing an update that fixes some nuisance bugs (sorry!). I'm also working on a FAQ page that will try to address many of the commonly asked questions many of you may have.

Thanks for using my app!

TinyUmbrella 4.1.11

Mac version is now installed via package installer. No more entering admin credentials at startup. I've also made a slight UI adjustment: when you click save shsh, the connected device AND the known device will show the spinner indicating progress. I've added a new preference for overwriting shsh's when performing an shsh request. (defaults to true)


Enjoy!

v4.1.10 Busy day...

I re-added a few features from the old version. (Clickable links, etc) and renamed the middle tab to "Log" since the TSS server button is on the main page. There were also a couple race conditions that I fixed causing the grabbing of /all/ shshs to occasionally fail and require another button press. I fixed/added so much it was time for a new revision. Happy SHSHing!

TinyUmbrella 4.1.9 Minor bugfixes

Sorry about the bugfixes! Please re-download the latest links and keep reporting any issues you come across. Please get this version and save your SHSHs again. Thanks.

TinyUmbrella 4.1.9 - Update

I've released 4.1.9. Some notable features are the Custom Device (the means by which you add manual ecids) Click Manual ECID to give it a try. Custom Devices work the same as history or connected devices, you just don't have any info about the device. Once you connect the device with that ECID however, your custom device will disappear and the full known device history information will replace it! Trust me, it's alot simpler when you play around with it.

TinyUmbrella - 4.1.9 Coming Soon

The feedback on 4.1.8 has been fantastic! Thank you all for your criticism, ideas, rants, frustrations :) I've already started working on the suggestions you all have given. Here is a short list of things to expect in 4.1.9 (coming very soon - as in hours):
  • Moved "Kick Device out of Recovery" back to a button
    • Right-clicking on the device still pulls up the option!
  • Added a progress bar for feedback while saving all shshs.
  • Manual ECID entry.
  • Fixed a bug where changing the save directory would cause an exception in the device history manager.
I plan to have these fixes in today or tomorrow. Check back for updates.

TinyUmbrella - New UI Complete!

3GS / 3G Users - DO NOT USE TINYUMBRELLA in an attempt to save your baseband. It will not work. The baseband protection is for iPhone 4 *ONLY*.


After months of work I've finished the UI rewrite of TinyUmbrella. I've added quite a few things to this little app. It's definitely come a long way and I want to thank all of you for making it the success it's become. Here are some new features in 4.1.8:
  • Totally redesigned UI for all platforms (inspired by chpwn refined by me)
    • Original artwork by iOPK of Chronic Dev Team
    • Spinny Icon code (thanks to technomage)
    • Quaqua look and feel (sorry mac only due to license restrictions)
    • Much cleaner look and feel all around
  • Known Devices!
    • Now all devices detected by TinyUmbrella are saved for future use!
    • You can remove them as well :) (Right click -> delete from history)
    • You can save SHSH with known devices as well (No more requirement for the device to be connected)
  • Recovery Devices
    • If you connect a device in recovery mode you can still kick it out of recovery (Right click -> Kick out of recovery)
  • Save SHSH now saves ALL SHSHs available at Cydia with one button press!
  • Preferences
    • Change SHSH save directory
  • Proxies (Web and Socks) for those that need them!
  • Better port 80 detection.
I hope this release helps you obtain and keep your SHSH's locally. In the future I plan on adding activation and restores sans iTunes. (These are both HUGE in terms of development effort so bear with me).


I'm working on a troubleshooting guide that I will have posted in the Quick Links section.

greenpois0n - get a dose on 10/10/10

Chronic Dev will be releasing greenpois0n on 10/10. This JB will include iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4, and iPad. As of now, it will not include any other device due to the changes from previous devices' bootroms. I've been busy helping Chronic Dev Team and will continue working on TinyUmbrella once we've released greenpois0n.
(Thanks OPK for the killer artwork)

TinyUmbrella New UI - Status Update

Sorry for the delays folks :) I've been trying to balance work, life, this, and our (Chronic-Dev Team) jailbreak. I've been trying to help out a bit with the team when possible so I've somewhat neglected my TinyUmbrella UI implementation. That said, @iOPK put together some awesome icons for me to use in TinyUmbrella for device detection/recent devices. Have a peek. I'm also going to be adding Socks / HTTP Proxy support for those few of you that have asked for it :)
