iOS 4.3.1 Support for iPhone4, 3GS, iPad1 & 2, iPod 3 & 4

TinyUmbrella now supports 4.3.1 for the relevant devices. Currently only iPhone 4 for verizon does not have 4.3.1 support (as there is no 4.3.1 available for the verizon iphone). Enjoy!

TinyUmbrella - Tiny update for AppleTV 4.3.1

Added 8F202/4.3.1 support for AppleTV 2. No other changes to report. I'm working on a complete rewrite for TinyUmbrella. Goals for the rewrite include: MUCH better linux support, unified device access across platforms, simple and elegant UI, automatic support of new firmware.
All of this will take some work, but will take a little bit of time. Bear with me!
TinyPwn is coming along - I've put HFS* support on the back-burner while I work on my unified device access library. It's still a long way off so thank you all for your continued support. You guys rock!

FixRecovery Updated - 4.3 supported

I've set up a couple downloads for the external fixrecovery app (based on the amazing greenpois0n by Chronic-Dev) These zip files contain windows and osx executables for 4.2.1 and 4.3. Unfortunately, there isn't currently a way for me to put all of this in a single executable. I'm working on packaging this all together with TinyUmbrella but it's tedious since it requires separate executables currently. I'll clean that up soon. I just wanted you all to have the ability to RESTORE your iPhone 4 to 4.3 and keep your 01.59 baseband and be able to get out of the ensuing recovery loop.


USAGE:

  1. Once you've restored your device to 4.2.1 or 4.3 and have entered the dreaded 'recovery loop'
  2. KILL ITUNES
  3. Put your device into DFU
  4. Run the appropriate executable ie. fixrecovery421 for 4.2.1
  5. ...???
  6. Profit - you should see the activation screen shortly...
Note that this app does /NOT/ hactivate. You must have a valid/official sim to activate your phone.

Enjoy

iOS 4.2.1 signing is really closed

Looks like Apple has stopped signing 4.2.1 for all devices that can run 4.3. As a result TinyUmbrella needs a small update (until i fix the code that handles that).


Sorry for the update. This is the last time you guys will need to update for this case. In the code, currently, I use an enum to determine the hardware and the associated 'current' iOS firmware for each hardware. Yes this is inefficient. I don't need a reminder. Tonight is not the night to fix that as it is all bundled together in a much larger refactoring that I'm smack in the middle of. This update should help those of you having problems 'saving' 4.3 while Cydia is unchecked.

Welcome iPad2,1 - iPad2,2 - iPad2,3 - We can save your SHSH

TinyUmbrella now supports all three new models of iPad 2. I've also added a much-needed tweak per saurik's request. If you don't update to the latest version, you may experience /significant/ slowness when saving your SHSHs in the future. With this release, 4.3 is supported. I plan on making some changes to the UI to help out the poor saps stuck on vertical resolutions < 900. I'm also going to be removing the proxy section of the app and simply using the system proxy settings.
Enjoy!
EDIT: There have been some reports of issues on the Windows version. I've addressed the '.bak' issue as well as the Windows recovery device issue. I've also fixed (as far as I can tell) the 'fix recovery' on most Windows builds. Please let me know if you have issues.
EDIT: I had a small issue with iPad2 detection (that's what I get for putting out a version without a device to test on :) ) All should be fine now though with 4.30.02
EDIT: I've added links to the fix recovery program for windows and mac. Use this app if TinyUmbrella is not able to fix recovery for you from DFU. Put your device into DFU mode and run the fixrecovery app appropriate to your OS.

Surprise! Windows Recovery Fix + iOS 4.3b1 support

TinyUmbrella has been updated to finally support windows for the recovery fix! I've personally tested in XP and Windows 7. Please let me know if you have (non-DFU) issues. If you need help getting into DFU mode, use google. Check the change log for more info. As an aside, I've also added 4.3b1 support to this version. Enjoy!


EDIT: I had to do a hotfix for the iPad3G. If you don't have an iPad3G don't worry about re-downloading!

iOS 4.3 GM Support + System Proxy Support on Loader

This update provides iOS 4.3 GM support as well as uses your system proxy settings when launching the TinyUmbrella loader. I've also made a few tweaks to streamline the currently saved shshs. I'm still working on the windows recovery kick out fix for 4.2.1 - I should have that finished this week (hopefully). Enjoy

iPad 2 Support - Windows Recovery

First, when iPad 2 is released, TinyUmbrella will have a small update to support it day of release. I don't think I'll be getting one, as the new MacBook Pros look far more appealing to me :)
Second, I'm having build woes on my windows vm so the windows recovery fix is still delayed. My apologies. As soon as this is fixed I'll release the windows fix.
