Updating iPhone 3G to iOS 4 Using VirtualBox

Published on July 1, 2010 in Amarok, Jailbreak, Redsn0w, VirtualBox and iPhone. 0 Comments

I decided to update my iPhone version to 4.0 and see what they actually have to offer. Of course, I also conducted the jailbreak process so that I could keep the extra features I have already obtained. It really wasn’t that hard to do, and believe it or not, Redsn0w actually worked in a VirtualBox environment. At the time of the update, I was running VirtualBox version 3.2.2 r62298 with Windows XP SP2. I installed iTunes 9.2, downloaded my firmware here, and manually restored my phone to the iOS 4. Once the process was done, I simply executed Redsn0w, and everything went smoothly.

There have been a couple of problems with the dbus and amarok recognising the iPhone, so I decided to update and see if there was more to offer on that level. I know that I posted an article about this, and there are a few questions, however, I hope to have the answers soon and have the solution.

Redsn0w, Linux and Jailbreaking iPhones

redsn0w_iPod_d-tI finally got my iPhone jailbroken in linux using VirtualBox and Redsn0w.  I know this isn’t the primary method that people want to use, but it is a step in the right direction.

There is a lot of having to re-connect the device because it will disconnect itself from the virtual machine, but as long as you are paying attention, then you shouldn’t have a problem.

On another note, I haven’t given up on trying to sync the iPhone 3G running the 3.0 firmware with Amarok, but things have been slow.  I started up again, and ran right into the same problem I had last time, where does the FirewireGUID information get saved?  There also seems to be problems with the permissions once logged into the iPhone via ssh.  Hopefully soon I will figure this one out.
