iPhone FW 3.1 blocks tethering. WTF?!

This week Apple released its version 3.1 of the iPhone firmware. Unfortnately I upgraded and realized that internet sharing via iPhone (tethering) has been blocked by now. Wow...
I have to admit I feel kinda pissed cause usually I wait with upgrades because I don't want to find myself missing a feature and here I am... Damn it... :-(

PS: T-Mobile Germany now offers a tethering option for clients who have signed a contract for only 20€/month more. Needless to say that I am waiting for some kind of hacked firmware because I don't see myself paying for something that has already been working fine and is no kind of real extra feature... Grrr...

New iPhone firmware 3.0 on the horizon?

In several tech websites like golem.de it can be read that there will be a
presentation of Apple's latest iPhone firmware.
Hopefully they finally include MMS functionality, tethering via Bluetooth and/or USB and MAYBE copy & paste...

We will know more on March 17th when Apple is holding the BIG presentation.

Custom Firmware 3.80 by M33 released

While searching in the internet, I found out that today the new version of Dark Alex's famous custom firmware for the Playstation Portable has been released.
The latest official Sony PSP firmware 3.80 has now been hacked and I made a rar archive containing all the needed files.

AS ALWAYS: ONLY USE IT ON YOUR OWN RISK!!!

CFW 3.80 M33

1.50 kernel support for 3.72 HX-1 PSP

So, you just installed the brandnew 3.72 firmware HX-1 on your shining Playstation Portable but suddenly wonder why your old applications like emulators don't work any longer.
This problem is caused by the use of the 3.72 kernel instead of 1.50 kernel from older custom firmware releases.
But somebody has found a method to solve this.
You can patch your PSP's flash0 and here you find the little tutorial :)

1. If you haven't done so before, install the 3.72 HX-1 custom firmware with this nifty little Easyinstaller. [3.72 Custom Firmware Easyinstaller]
2. Download the 1.50 kernel patch. [1.50 Kernel Patch]
3. Toggle usb flash0 in recovery.
4. copy the file reboot150.prx from your 1.50 kernel rar archive file (located in /kd) to /kd on your 3.72 HX firmware.
5. copy the whole directory /km from your 1.50 kernel rar archive file to the flash0 of your 3.72 HX
6. DONE ^^
   

Well have fun (again) with your 1.50 kernel enabled PSP.

Downgrade your PSP from 3.03 to 1.50

Seems, like there's a new PSP firmware downgrader :-)

Oh happy day :-)

Well because Koteshi was such a kind person, Santa brought him nice little presents. Like the new Canon EOS 400D and the new Nintendo Wii.
Reviews will follow. By the way: the new GPS device for my PSP and a new custom firmware (3.02 OE-B) arrived too so there will be a report soon.
