Dev-Team: Ignore that tempting “update” button!





Apple started pushing out their official iTunes 8.2 for mobile devices with firmware 3.0 recently. But the Dev-Team recommended you –jailbreakers and yellowsn0w-users– to ignore the “Update now?” button. Why?

  • Most people aren’t at 3.0.   In fact 3.0 is still in beta and has lots of bugs (especially related to push updates).
  • It breaks your ability to use QuickPwn, PwnageTool, and iPhone Tunneling Suite (ssh over usb).  We don’t think this is a deliberate breakage of these tools.  It’s just that Apple has updated a low-level USB protocol that normally only Apple cares about (but jailbreakers care about).
  • So far, the only appreciable change to iTunes 8.2 is the Genius function working on videos.
  • It may actually break Palm Pre’s connection to the device (please give us feedback on this).
