:::I want to make something clear about this wiki, it's called "The iPhone Wiki", not "The iPhone Community Wiki", or even "The Jailbreaking Wiki". This site exists to document the iPhone, not who made what GUI. A jailbreak tool that doesn't introduce exploits or isn't very widely used isn't notable. To clarify, the [[Limera1n_Exploit]] page is far more valuable than the [[limera1n]] page. Please focus on adding technical content instead of thinly veiled advertisements. For example, it's appalling we don't have a page documenting [[ASLR]] --[[User:Geohot|geohot]] 23:16, 17 January 2012 (MST)

=== opensn0w article undeletion ===
 
[[User:Http|http]] said to notify when released.. we have something tangible now. It's open source, so there is no 'cut' release for the time being. --[[User:Acfrazier|Austen Frazier]] 15:01, 14 January 2012 (MST)
 
: Where are the released files? --[[User:Dylan Laws|Dylan Laws]] 02:02, 16 January 2012 (MST)
 
::On the deleted page it had this link: https://github.com/velocitylimitless/opensn0w -- [[User:Http|http]] 03:41, 16 January 2012 (MST)
 
: What exactly does it do, I've read over the readme but not fully understaning the program, what it can run on, and if its a console or GUI. --[[User:Dylan Laws|Dylan Laws]] 11:25, 16 January 2012 (MST)
 
::The readme says "Why not use redsn0w? It has a graphical user interface!" means it is a console app designed for implementation in other programs. --[[User:5urd|5urd]] 12:05, 16 January 2012 (MST)
 
 
=== silversn0w ===
 
Am I allowed to propose a new page for my new program silversn0w? --[[User:Dylan Laws|Dylan Laws]] 23:48, 13 January 2012 (MST){{unsigned|Dylan Laws|14 January 2012, 5:44 GMT}}
 
:What does it do? --[[User:Http|http]] 23:27, 13 January 2012 (MST)
 
::Right now its a limera1n injector, you can upload files through iBoot (e.g iBSS, iBEC, ramdisks), but im working on making it a jailbreak.--[[User:Dylan Laws|Dylan Laws]] 23:48, 13 January 2012 (MST)
 
::Is this ok? --[[User:Dylan Laws|Dylan Laws]] 11:29, 14 January 2012 (MST)
 
:::You just posted it anyway and its crap, can someone delete the page? --[[User:Ryanb93|Ryanb93]] 12:22, 14 January 2012 (MST)
 
:::You posted it w/o the discussion being finalized! --[[User:balloonhead66|5urd]] 14:38, 14 January 2012 (MST)
 
@Dialexio: How did it violate GPL v3? Was it not open sourced while using iRecovery (which is)? --[[User:balloonhead66|5urd]] 14:41, 14 January 2012 (MST)
 
:Indeed. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 14:53, 14 January 2012 (MST)
 
:: What's the problem? --[[User:Dylan Laws|Dylan Laws]] 15:00, 14 January 2012 (MST)
 
:::Any program that uses software released under the GNU GPL (any version), in this case iRecovery, the program must be open source. Thats why sn0wbreeze is (XPwn, VFDecrypt), Seas0nPass (XPwn, VFDecrypt), iDecryptIt (VFDecrypt, 7-zip), etc. --[[User:5urd|5urd]] 20:32, 15 January 2012 (MST)
 
If we must discuss this then shall we do it now? --[[User:Dylan Laws|Dylan Laws]] 15:02, 14 January 2012 (MST)
 
:? --[[User:balloonhead66|5urd]] 15:06, 14 January 2012 (MST)
 
:: just delete it and remove me if you want, do don't want any part do what geohot has made. I've got my own wiki on my site, so, I'm good. I'm just a useless dead weight here. --[[User:Dylan Laws|Dylan Laws]] 15:13, 14 January 2012 (MST)
 
:::We arn't trying to make you upset, but you arn't following the rules of GUIs are stated in the category. --[[User:balloonhead66|5urd]] 16:22, 14 January 2012 (MST)
 
:::: It's fine, I'm just kinda upset that most of the time, there's already a program out there for most of the stuff I make. I'll contribute to this wiki as much as I can. Maybe when i/if I finish silversn0w I'll ask if I can post it here.--[[User:Dylan Laws|Dylan Laws]] 16:55, 14 January 2012 (MST)

===Rename===
 
I was wondering if you can install [[mediawikiwiki:Extension:Renameuser|Renameuser]] and make me an admin? --[[User:balloonhead66|Cole Johnson]] 11:21, 7 January 2012 (MST)
 
:Installed, who do you want renamed? --[[User:Geohot|geohot]] 22:26, 7 January 2012 (MST)

===Banning GUI Tools===
 
I'm starting to think banning "GUI tools" is a good idea, the silversn0w discussion was removed without consensus and a page was created. Like wikipedia, we need notability criteria. If your tool isn't used by at least a 1000 people, it does not belong here. To the posters of GUI tools, why not spend your time creating constructive pages instead, documenting poorly documented things and fixing typos? --[[User:Geohot|geohot]] 13:53, 14 January 2012 (MST)
 
:I don't think that will be neccessary. The [[silversn0w]] thing was created before the [[#silversn0w|discussion]] was even finished. That is the problem. Maybe a ban rule on people who post things w/o a finalized discussion... --[[User:balloonhead66|5urd]] 14:38, 14 January 2012 (MST)
 
:Maybe a "new page wizard" could be used, like on Wikipedia. It could ask "what is the article about?", then it keeps asking questions till it decides whether the page should be allowed or to ask here first.

===Rename Requests===
 
The plugin to do renames has been installed, renames are at the discretion of our current admins. --[[User:Geohot|geohot]] 13:53, 14 January 2012 (MST)
 
:It looks like only you can perform renames at the moment. The extension's page says you can [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Renameuser#Use add a line of code] (I think to LocalSettings.php… not sure though) to give admins the ability to perform renames, though. --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 14:50, 14 January 2012 (MST)
 
::bureaucrats can do it already. But geohot is the only one... --[[User:balloonhead66|5urd]] 15:06, 14 January 2012 (MST)
 
:::sysops can do it now too, sorry thought that was the default --[[User:Geohot|geohot]] 20:21, 14 January 2012 (MST)

This is the place to post tasks that need to be done on the wiki. Also this is the place for proposed changes. I heard about people wanting a favicon and arranging the main page into categories.

AcidSn0w

Can I propose a page for acidsn0w? I heard that there was stolen code, so I haven't posted. --Dylan Laws 17:02, 17 January 2012 (MST)

The first beta did use stolen code, but the second beta fixed that. As it is still in beta, a page may not be a good idea. It does have a good user-base as shown in their blog comments, but it is up to the sysops. If you are in the Pwn Dev Team, then NO. --5urd 17:09, 17 January 2012 (MST)
I am not in their team. :P I'll wait till/if they release it. --Dylan Laws 17:37, 17 January 2012 (MST)
I want to make something clear about this wiki, it's called "The iPhone Wiki", not "The iPhone Community Wiki", or even "The Jailbreaking Wiki". This site exists to document the iPhone, not who made what GUI. A jailbreak tool that doesn't introduce exploits or isn't very widely used isn't notable. To clarify, the Limera1n_Exploit page is far more valuable than the limera1n page. Please focus on adding technical content instead of thinly veiled advertisements.

I would also like to see the Baseband ticket system documented --geohot 14:48, 18 January 2012 (MST)

2.2b1

Is 2.2b1 5G26 or 5G27, because on Beta Firmware, it says 5G27 while on the previous revisions of VFDecrypt Keys is said 5G26 --5urd 18:47, 14 January 2012 (MST)

IMG3 File Key Grabbing

How does one grab the keys for the IMG3 files if they have a decrypted ramdisk? I have genpass, xpwn, and vfdecrypt, but what do I use to get keys for IMG3 files? --5urd 17:17, 2 February 2012 (MST)
