Today iH8sn0w posted an update on his new program iFaith. iFaith dumps SHSH Blobs for present IOS revision on IDevice even if Apple is not signing it anymore.
- Added iPod Touch 2G Dumping capability (MC-Model users recommened)
- IPSW Creation for iPod Touch 2G is still a work in progress.
- Fixed exe compression issues (resulting in many DFU loops on IPSW creation).
- Fixed any Windows XP issues.
- Source code coming soon to a github near you!
- It is currently not possible to add iPad 2 support.
Devices Supported:
iPhone 3G[S]
iPhone 4
iPod Touch 3G
iPod Touch 4
iPad 1G
Apple TV 2
Developer Caution Notes:
When I released iFaith v1.0, you probably noticed that the dumping was way faster than v1.1 and v1.2. In 1.1, I specifically made it dump slower since there seemed to be a swarm of users that got into a DFU Loop. I initially thought that this was because USB was not able to keep up with the dump.
So I released 1.1 about a month later which integrated SHA-1 verification and slower dumping to ensure that what was being dumped over USB was what was on the device and what iFaith was receiving. I thought this would resolve the issue but it doesn't seem to have. So, I later came to notice that the exe compression/encryption on iFaith was causing some read/write issues with IO on the pc side.
When I sent mostwanted a beta build via Twitter, he did indeed say that it was successful. The build I had sent him was just a rebuild of v1.1 without any compression or encryption. It is available here:
I still see people complaining though that their getting DFU loops. The reason you'd be getting a DFU loop is that LLB and/or iBoot's SHSH Blobs were not properly dumped or written. Frankly, if you got a corrupt blob. Its virtually impossible to fix. Not until someone were to get a hold of Apple's SHSH signing keys. Which would make this app totally useless.
As of now, I'm sorry if your device is in a loop and you don't have any SHSH saved via TinyUmbrella or Cydia. Lets hope that v1.2.1 is the golden version. If you dumped blobs using v1.0 or v1.1 and got a DFU loop when building the ipsw with v1.2.1, then your blobs are useless pretty much. There isn't any other way I can put it.
At least I'm not hiding in the shadows pretending I'm not hearing this.
Yours truly,
