Infineon, we have a question

The 3G bootloader is sig patterned by the bootrom. So even removing the NOR and fixture the bootloader(to remove piping fw sig checks) and piping firmware doesn't work for an withdraw. Big acknowledgement to TA_Mobile for dumping the NOR and confirmatory this. You have no real skills.

The X-Gold 608 is the chip old. The lame "datasheet" infineon gives us shows the implements of war RSA and the secure bootrom. So we have a real question. Even if we find an unsigned encrypt put to work, which wasn't finished for the former deuce bootloaders in software(we remuneration tricks to play with the nor), we still can't unlock.

Even though the bootloader isn't easy for transfer, theres really zero here. This bootloader doesn't be some of the synergistic modality functions, just a stub which is precise like to the old bootrom(but with sig checking). The synergistic attender is tacked on to the end of all fls and eep file, and is soused at 0x86000. BBUpdaterExtreme contains various ramloaders as well, but I disbelieve the one old is from the news file itself. You do not requisite the bootloader to work on the baseband, you just requisite the files off the ramdisk. Also newsworthy to note, the 2 rsa keys the bootloaders use haven't denaturised since 3.9 or 4.6 So you have these too.

Putting to death CommCenter on 2.0 kills the wi-fi, which will make excavation with the baseband a bit harder. Change of location synergistic modality is nowadays finished with a call to the meat to raise an I/O pin before resetting.

The first step to tackling this is dumping the bootrom. We requisite no put to work, I don't care where, to dump discretional storage device. Point we can dump 0x400000, which is the new "secure" bootrom.
 

The Integrated DisAssembler(EDA)

I was hoping person would notice this clearly isn't IDA...

It's EDA, my disassembly/simulation rooms. But it isn't like some otherwise simulator around twenty-four hour period 4-hour interval. Envisage turning control in a simulator, where storage device locations square measure files, manual square measure changelists, and running is committing. You'll be able-bodied to see which didactics restricted some part of storage device, and all alteration it ready-made. Staining MMIO should be caretaker easy.

The picture is the EDA frontend, rendered in Campaign. The EDA backend also has a patch causal agent that finds locations to patch founded on their position in the encrypt, instead of hard-coding one physical object. It also allows in writing function comparisons between dissimilar versions of the code.

Sadly, it's still a work in onward motion. Maybe when its finished, I'll look for the 3G withdraw.
 

iPhone and iPod Touch exercise and bundle updates …

I’ve just added and/or updated the following exercise packages for the iPhone and/or iPod Touch: Cydia Packager apps for the 2.0 (and early) firmware: [upd] Dock (3.20) [Deeds with 2.1 and concealed apps; rock-bottom storage device activity; back up field in Prefs app.] -ste
 

Cowl 1.1

Slightly slower than we awaited, but with more than features than aforethought, Hood 1.1 hits the practical shelves of our Installer.app confidant now.

What's new? Plenty.
  • EDGE Toggle. Like otherwise solutions (actually, no that I've seen around), this one disables and enables EDGE without striking the APN settings. For this reason, when you disenable EDGE, the "E" picture will still be literature in the state bar (indicating that the communication system is up) but the respective service will be effectively down. This is little more than unreliable than before, and is actually the way Edible fruit meant to compel it - the encrypt concealed inside Preferences.app does the same.
  • Settings. Nowadays you can access settings of Cowl inside of Settings > RiP Dev > Cowl vantage superman. Precise easy and convenient.
  • Process List. This feature is reversed off by alternative, but you can disable it in the Settings. Cowl will show a list of processes running on your iPhone, with the inability to quickly kill some of them by slippery your finger across the process name (little like you take away stuff in some table form on the iPhone). Be heedful and don't kill stuff that you don't know, especially unowned by root - or you Gregorian calendar month end up rebooting your iPhone!
  • Assignable Buttons. Remember these quaternity button slots on top? Well, instead of creating a mess by stacking 16 icons each doing something close to each otherwise, we square measure rental you decide which 4 options you want. Early on, when more than toggles square measure added in (VPN and SSH square measure close in line, by the way), you will have a wider decision making. Assignable in Settings, as well.
  • Really Equal Processes nowadays. Turning 1.0 lone emulated the Home button press when you were striking the Pull up stakes Exercise button. Which instrumentation - Campaign, Mail.app and others were not completely closed (this is the European for least "otherwise" managers too). Nowadays the applications square measure properly killed and the storage device is instantly free - as you can see on the Indo-European chart.
  • New Icons. Thrasos Varnava did us a big favor and ready-made up new and built icons for the toggles. Give thanks you!
  • Bug fixes. Fixed a bug with Cowl staying open when you lock the tactical manoeuvre with it open (or it auto-locks). Also fixed a small indefinite quantity otherwise esthetical bugs.
  • Still free! Cowl was and will stay free and boxer tool, acknowledgement to your comments, support and suggestions.

And nowadays, the slides:

Hood 1.1 is easy nowadays in the Installer.app concept Utilities. Enjoy.

 

One Google Search Uses 1000 Computers [Gooooooogle]

Every time you Google "Krispy Kreme hamburger" or "how to relieve animal virus" or "optical device cats," it takes the physical process power of up to 1,000 machines.

In a talk at WSDM 2009, Google Male person Jeff Dean disclosed no applied mathematics about how Google's trading operations have fully grown from 1999 to 2009, and it's beautiful mind-boggling. Queries have lost up by a factor of 1000, yet search lagtime has born about 1000ms to just 200ms—nearly instant.

The reason a single search can take up to 1,000 computers now—instead of say, a dozen—is that Google's whole search index is held entirely in storage device. All time I try to think about how large that index mustiness be I get a head ache. I'm beautiful sure if I unsaturated on it too hard, my head would pop.
