I actually find that very hard to believe but I don’t really know the intricacies of porting software over to a different firmware…

From what I’ve read, other developers have hinted that installer may have seen the last of its days and will not be available on 2.0, ever. I’m not a developer, (actually I’m a pharmacy student irrelevant). What does that car charger have to do with anything said on this site? Are you just one of those who is paid to blog/advertise crap like that?Īnd just to be fair, I’ll talk about something relevant…įor people who don’t feel like reading into things (lazy people), Cydia is an open source “installer” that is far more superior to installer.app in many ways, but it is mostly used by developers (people who know what they are doing). Of course, you will not have to purchase it again if you already did (and if you have changed your iPhone to 3G model, email our sales department and they will arrange the license transfer for you). Now what about Kate? It is 90% ported to 2.0 as of now and we are finishing the remaining work and then testing it – so expect it to be out for Installer 4.0 in a week or two. 1.1.4 used to be LittleBear, and 2.0, you guessed it, is BigBear. Why Big Bear in the post title and what the heck has it to do with the rest? :) The answer is simple – every iPhone OS release has it’s own codename (the name of the volume on the disk image file containing firmware files).

We expect the Installer to be ready by the time there’s something to offer you.Ī lyrical off-topic. Meanwhile, all of the popular tools that can’t get to App Store for various reasons will have to be redone for firmware 2.0 – mostly because the inner workings of the system (in large, the way user interface works) have changed a lot since 1.1.x, so it will take some time for the authors to update and test their stuff. So Installer 4.0 will come out soon… as soon as we’re confident it functions properly, we will release it – and trust us, we are not going to delay it for a long time. This is because we have decided to not release an undertested product into the wild – we don’t want any mess on the phone this time. And for now, it has no Installer 4.0 in it. Below is what the RiP Dev blog has to say about the progress of Installer 4.0.Īs you surely know by now, Pwnage Tool 2.0 is out. The only thing available in the jailbreak is Cydia with a few applications like OpenSSH. Even though the jailbreak for firmware 2.0 is now available, if you choose to upgrade and jailbreak…you will not see much.
