[Firmware 1.2 and 2.0] how to get it working for anybody

[mossme89]

hi guys!

i just signed up here but am a member at ipodtouchfans.com (i have an ipod touch).

on the forum over there we were discussing how the chronic dev team released the decryption keys to decrypt the 1.2 or 2.0 firmware. while i'm not posting a direct link, i'll say that it is on the chronic dev team's website (pm me for the key if you cant find it)

so basically you get the appropriate key (1.2 or 2.0), extract the 100 + dmg file (you have to rename the file to .zip), and then decrypt with vfdecrypt using the key. i think this might require pwning to get it on the iphone/touch, but i am not sure (maybe shift-upgrade in itunes?)

no i havent tried this, i dont have the firmware...

i would like to see your thoughts on all of this...

What is the chronic dev team? *rofl*
It's simple to read these keys from asr in the decrypthed memdisk... x) .. old trick. 8900firmware tool and strings is needed to fidn them. Happy digging!

rofl, no thats dev team, thats us. chronic productions has nothing to do with dev team nor is he a member of it.

dev team: http://www.iphone-dev.org
chronics website: http://www.chronic-dev.org

Thats he uses the same layoutr does not mean he has anything to do with dev team x)

Zibri, get out from this body ! :D

ok my bad

but if they are releasing the pwning tool, wouldnt they be good at hacking?

[sam]

We release pwnage tool, chronic is just good in news hunting on IRC runnign a website looking the same like ours and owning a prereleas eof pwnage tool for osme reason .. who ever gave it to him x(

what about the code? is it real?

[sam]

Which code? The key? Sure look aat the reply i mentioned asr binary or check your pm i explained it twice now how to obtain it :D

[ChronicProductions]

haha pumpkin just sent me the link to this thread.

OK, there is obviously some confusion. I have a wiki where I put up information to help people out with the iPhone because there is not a one stop place for this. For example, I haven't found a place yet that has the vfdecrypt keys for the new firmware. But this is not the iPhone Dev Team's Wiki (http://iphone-dev.org), this is completely different.

I am afraid our upcoming release, IPSWTool.app (http://chronic-dev.org/pwnage:ipswtool:comingsoon), it is making some think that it is actually Pwnage Tool. This is not the case. It is an application with an interface like that of iLiberty+/iLibertyX that allows you to add whatever applications/themes/tweaks/etc. you want to your IPSW for further customization, after it has already been 'Pwned' by Pwnage Tool of course, since restoring to a stock IPSW customized by this tool, while it will work, will un-pwn your iPhone and may cause other issues.

This is not a replacement for Pwnage Tool, just a very very big extension.

Sorry about the confusion everyone.

That is because DokuWiki is awesome :)

But really, you make it seem like I am trying to copy you, as I explained in my previous post, and this is most definitely not the case. Pwnage Tool is for pwning your phone/ipsw, iPSWTool is for customizing your ipsw since IPSW Builder is quite basic at the time.

[mossme89]

wait, if i get a stock copy of 2.0, what could i do to put it on without registering? pwning?

also,
is it true that the pwning will be coming out on windows?

[MuscleNerd]

There will definitely be a cottage industry of ipsw packagers like the one ChronicProductions is developing.

You will need to PWN the ipsw as of now, because there is no other method. AriX has developed one though, and I will talk to him about putting it out to hold people over until Pwnage Tool is released.

Yes, Pwnage Tool will be available for Windows :)

yeah, because i will be getting a copy of the 2.0 ipod touch version
so will it work on the touch?

[ChronicProductions]

Actually it is AriX and I in addition to the iLiberty, iLiberty+, and iLibertyX creators :)

Yeah, probably, but we know Zibri will be making one and I am NOT letting him go ramdisk-exploit on everyone.

(To any new iPhone-ers: What I mean is that he will release something exactly like this once Pwnage Tool is released, once again to rake in the precious donations...)

[ChronicProductions]

It should. If not I'll ask AriX if it's ok to share the script with you once he logs back on (and once you get 2.0 :P)

[mossme89]

what do mean share scripts? like beta testing his software?

check your PMs man, sorry if i confused you in my previous post BTW

[mossme89]

pmed you back

[Spinstorm]

seeing as there are people in this thread on the dev team and with pwnage already! Please answer my bootneuter question!

Does it work natively with 3.9FB or do we have to reflash to 4.6? will it work with native original 3.9 and/or 4.6? can it reflash 3.9 original to 4.6? can it flash 3.9FB to 4.6?

What exactly is bootneutering? what does it do to the existing bootloader

[.max]

Hmmm. I could not decrypt 018-3473-4.dmg with that key. It says "internal error (2) during key unwrap operation!" and resulting decrypted dmg does not mount.

Not that it would do me any good. Just of curiosity :)

[ahduke99]

i wish i knew how to get it working too .. i guess we have to wait for pwnage before we can do anything.

[ubik]

nevermind..

[iPhoneFrank]

Hey Sam,

would you mind sharing the details? I found asr in usr sbin. But I can't find the key inside. Is it further scrambled? You can PM me, if you like.

[iPhoneFrank]

Nevermind, I got it. I had no idea that the key is stored in ASCII. LOL :tonge:

LOL. And I did an entropy scan. Apple really got me.

[guccipaul]

I no alot of people are moaning saying ooh its only a beta and not for the masess and blah blah blah anyway if you did have a copy of this firmware in your possesion for either the iphone or the itouch is there a way to install it without using pwnage and if so can some one put together a guide, and before you all say

1. Yes i no owning the firmware is illegal
2. Yes i no its a beta
3. Yes i no it has bugs
4. Dont you think we should have the option to take these risks for ourselfs

[sam]

Hey common, "strings" is a 31337 hacking tool , can even obtain keys :hack: :D
Yes, I think anybody has to admit, it is kinda odd to store the key like that :P

[rpitto]

can anyone tell me where to find the firmware to download? It would be greatly appreciated
