What is f0recast?
An application created by iH8sn0w. He created a simple application that uses Manzana to tap into MobileDevice Library inside of: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\iTunesMobileDevice.dll
It grabs these functions when an iDevice is connected:
- Serial #
- Baseband
- Bootloader Version
- Model
- ProductType
How does it determine if its unlockable?
When f0recast grabs the baseband version, it checks the version against a built-in database to determine whether it is unlockable or not.
How does it determine if it's restricted to a tethered jailbreak?
iPhone & iPod Touch
- If the iDevice Version is below 4.1 then its untethered but if its higher than its tethered
