How To: Replace the Display Assembly (LCD, Screen, Digitizer) on the iphone 5

iOS 6.0.1 the firmware that was released today is already jailbreakable. Note that this jailbreak will have the same specifications as the previous one and only work for pre-A5 devices. In addition this jailbreak is still tethered for all devices other than old bootrom 3GS’s meaning that you will have to boot tethered every time your device shuts off.

Tethered
- iPhone 4
- iPhone 3GS new bootrom
- iPod Touch 4G
Untethered
- iPhone 3GS old bootrom [Does your device have an old bootrom?]

Tutorial for all A4 devices (Tethered)

1. Download and Install RedSn0w 0.9.15B2 or higher. [Download Link]
2. Download a copy of your device’s iOS 6.0 firmware. [Download Link]
3. Invoke DFU mode on your device, if you don’t know how to do this RedSn0w will walk you through it when needed.
4. Open Redsn0w, navigate to: Extras>Select IPSW and select your iOS 6.0 firmware that you downloaded in step 2.
5. Now navigate back to the home page of RedSn0w and click the ‘Jailbreak’ button. Leave this to continue until boxes come up and check ‘Install Cydia’.
6. Once done, your device will appear as if it has just booted. However Cydia will not be on your homepage. You now need to perform a tethered boot.
7. Connect your device back up to your computer if you have disconnected it, and reopen RedSn0w if you closed it. Now place your device one again into DFU mode, and go to Extras>Select IPSW and select the same firmware that we did in the first step, it’s essentially the same process. Once RedSn0w has done it’s thing, select ‘Just Boot’ and when your device reloads it will have Cydia on it!

Since the jailbreak is tethered you will have to complete step 7 every time your device fully powers down.

As you might already be aware, Apple released iOS 6.0.1 to the public only a day or so ago. As with every update, Apple’s firmware fixes some bugs and exploits which could be used to jailbreak and unlock iPhone. Well those of you wondering whether this update fixed unlocking iPhone, your in unlock as it did not. You can now unlock iPhone 4/3GS on iOS 6.0.1 using Ultrasnow fixer, and here is the guide on how to do it.

Unlock iPhone iOS 6.0.1

The developers behind the Ultrasnow fixer (not the official Ultrasnow) have updated the Ultrasnow fixer unlocking tool to unlock iPhone on iOS 6.0.1. So folks if you thought of updating to iOS 6.0.1 (which you should not), you can get your iPhone unlocked.
Do note that you will need to preserve your baseband while upgrading to iOS 6.0.1.
This Ultrasnow fixer does not bring support for the new basebands so if you do not have any of the following basebands it won’t work for you.

Ultrasnow Fixer iOS 6 works On:

A lot of people are talking about the proposed ‘heatgate‘ issues effecting the new iPad (iPad 3). In fact earlier today we told you that the new iPad ran about 10 degrees hotter than the iPad 2. Now although heatgate seems to be a hot topic right now, a lot of people are not talking about the reason why the new iPad becomes warm during prolonged use. It is not a design flaw like Antennagate, rather, the actual specs of the new iPad that contribute to the increased operating temperature.
As brought to light by 9to5Mac, CNET spoke with DisplayMate’s Raymond Soneira about just why the new iPad is a bit “toastier”…

1. Twice the LEDs: That means more heat coming from more LEDs. This is especially a problem at full brightness.
2. 2.5X the power needed: The brightness efficiency is lower, because the new iPad has more pixels (which means more transistors) compared to the iPad 2. More pixels and transistors take up more space, meaning less opportunity for light to pass. “So they basically have to blast light through the LCD to make it come out.” Soneira adds: “I measured the LED power at maximum brightness–it’s two and a half times greater than on the iPad 2.”
3. Battery generates more juice: The battery has to push out more power. This makes the battery warmer.
4. Traditional LCD technology: Sharp’s power-efficient IGZO technology was not ready for the new iPad, which forced Apple to use traditional —and less power efficient— amorphous silicon tech. [To be fair, the older iPads also used this tech. Perhaps Apple was hoping to go 100-percent IGZO to offset the above].
5. Qualcomm LTE Chip: Although not officially mentioned by CNET, the new iPad’s 4G connectivity support, allowing for faster than home broadband speeds, increases the operating temperature during continuous use due to the strain on the battery.

When you consider what Apple packed into the new iPad it is nothing short of a miracle that they managed to keep the operating temperature at only about an increase of 10 degrees to previous generations.
