Download files using Safari on your iPhone - NO JB REQUIRED

I found this little trick out the other day just by accident. DropBOX app for your iPhone / iPad will allow you to download .exe, .zip, .ipa and preaty much any file type off the internet, and upload it to your mobile DropBOX account.

Your dropbox account will then automatically sync with your home PC/MAC. This way, when your out and about, you can download a file, save it to dropbox, go to your home PC, and it will be there waiting for you.

As long as you have a valid DropBOX account, you can save files off the WEB when your on-the-go.

GET your dropbox account below! DropBOX works with iPhone, PC, MAC & Linux.

"Always have your stuff when you need it with @Dropbox. 2GB account is free! "http://db.tt/q4bzZ02"

        

         Click on the link to start your download           The status bar on top will move across as its downloading

        

Once it's finished, select the folder you want to use                      Then your upload will start

        

Here is what it looks like when your upload is complete               Here is what it looks like when all done

 

Here is the finished product when you get home to your PC

JailBreak Info

Only a few weeks after the 4.3.1 untether created by @i0n1c was released, Apple pushed out firmware 4.3.2. Thankfully, it appears Apple didn’t have a chance to fix the hole used by @i0n1c’s untether, so he ported his code over to 4.3.2’s kernel. Today’s redsn0w has been updated to include it.

The 4.3.2 untether works on all devices that actually support 4.3.2 except for the iPad2:

• iPhone3GS
• iPhone4 (GSM)
• iPod touch 3G
• iPod touch 4G
• iPad1

redsn0w 0.9.6rc14:

• OS X redsn0w
• Windows redsn0w

Apple iOS 4.3.2 DROPS TODAY

It's kind of funny to watch the race between the JailBreaking community and Apple. iOS 4.3.1 was barely jailbroken via redsn0w & PwnageTool Sunday, April 3rd. Now, a week and a half later, Apple has released iOS 4.3.2 to counter-act that jailbreak.

This update contains improvements and other bug fixes including:

• Fixes an issue that occasionally caused blank or frozen video during a FaceTime call
• Fixes an issue that prevented some international users from connecting to 3G networks on iPad Wi-Fi + 3G
• Contains the latest security updates

NOTE: All Jailbreak users should avoid updating to iOS 4.3.2 as you might possibly lose your Jailbreak. -  *** Update 1 *** Jailbreak info found here!!!




Download Links:

You can get this Update via iTunes or just Download it manually using the links below:

• iPhone 3GS
• iPhone 4 (GSM)
• iPad
• iPad 2,1  - (WiFi model)
• iPad 2,2  - (AT&T GSM)
• iPad 2,3 - (Verizon CDMA)
• iPod touch 3rd gen
• iPod touch 4th gen

iOS 4.3.1 JB is now Unteathered

Short quote from the DEV-Team...

 The 4.3.1 untether exploit comes courtesy of Stefan Esser (@i0n1c on twitter), a security researcher based in Germany.  Stefan has a long history of vulnerability research, and ironically his first contribution to the iPhone jailbreak community was improved security — last year he beat Apple to the punch and implemented ASLR for jailbroken iPhones with his “antid0te” framework. We’re happy to see that Stefan then turned his iPhone attention over to an untethered jailbreak exploit!

The 4.3.1 untether works on all devices that actually support 4.3.1 except for the iPad2:

iOS 4.3.1 is compatible with the following devices. You can download 4.3.1 straight from APPLE via my iOS 4.3.1 BLOG POST

• AppleTV 2G (PwnageTool only for now)

How do I change my hosts file & What is a hosts file?

What is a HOSTS file?

The Hosts file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. This file is loaded into memory (cache) at startup, then Windows checks the Hosts file before it queries any DNS servers, which enables it to override addresses in the DNS. This prevents access to the listed sites by redirecting any connection attempts back to the local (your) machine.

*** SIMPLE VERSION:  The HOSTS file has the ability to block web sites & other applications from connecting to the Internet, providing the entry exists.***

HOW TO EDIT

1) Edit your hosts file on your PC.

For Windows 7

To access the hosts file in Windows 7 you can use the following command in the Run Line to open notepad and the file.

notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Then open the file for editting with Notepad. There should already be an entry for "localhost". Follow that format when you insert your domain and our IP.

  In Windows 7, the entry order is 'IP address' then 'hostname'

          127.0.0.1 localhost
          127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com

Then save this altered hosts file and close notepad. Make sure Windows did not silently save the file as "hosts.sam". The filename has to be "hosts". You may also need to reboot for the change to take effect. Next time you try to go to "127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com", your browser will try to find that domain at the corresponding IP instead of looking up the IP through DNS.

• Windows 7 - Example of HOSTS file in Action

  To access the hosts file in Windows 7 you can use the following command in the Run Line to open notepad and the file.
  

  notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

  
  
  Once notepad is open you can edit the file. In this example we will block Facebook. To do this just enter in the following after the # mark.
  

  0.0.0.0    www.facebook.com

                                 OR
  
            
           127.0.0.1    www.facebook.com
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Now that you have edited your Hosts file make sure to save it.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Now try to access Facebook.com in Google Chrome… This is a perfect example of a HOSTS file doing it's job.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Using the same method above can also block any application from searching the internet for updates. 
  
  
  So for example... There is a program called DU Meter.  It shows you, and keeps a record, of just how fast the download & upload rate of your internet connection is.  It's a very handy app for those of you who either do a lot of downloading, or just want to see if there is any apps using the internet "behind the scenes" without your knowledge.
  
  
  Lets say, for instance, you don't want it automatically updating in the background with out your knowledge....  Here is an example of what to enter into your hosts file to stop the app from updating all-together.
