I know this thread is old, but I like the template on [[Apex 8A400 (iPod touch 3G)]] frankly because I helped to make it, and it links to all parts of the FW so people know what the **** a kernelcache or VFDecrypt is. :P --drake |

| − | :I think he should because when we are waiting for a jailbreak, he comes out with sn0wbreeze for us to have a jailbreak until there is a full ready to go jailbreak. Just because he creates a GUI for xpwn doesn't mean he shouldn't not be considered a hacker. So stop your whining and you try to make something like that =/. Also by him creating sn0wbreeze, it gives developers time to update their apps for the newest firmware {{unsigned|Anonymous|23:44, September 24, 2010 (UTC)}} |

| − | ::I think he should. He uses IDA right? He makes patches? Found the blacksn0w baseband crash - hacker IMHO -- [[User:Windows Helpdesk|blackthund3r]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | :::Disagree. There are lots of other ppl @ the same level as sn0w that aren't listed there. Compared to MN, Geo and planet, he's nowhere near their level. Are we going to list sherif for finding the latest unlock exploit? It's not even up for debate, he doesn't belong there. --[[user:tsuehpsyde|tsuehpsyde]] |

| − | ::::wrong snowbreze is a graphical user interface of xpwn he just got the keys ( another tool that is not his ) and told xpwn to decrypt the .ipsw any one can do that and if ih8sn0w is classed as a hacker then blackthund3r should be as well --[[User:Liamchat|liamchat]] 16:01, 23 September 2010 (UTC) |
||
| − | |||
| − | :::::I don't think he should be listed, he hasn't contributed anything really except for adding a GUI around xpwn or developing a tool that has already been released by someone else. He doesn't actually create anything on his own and if anyone can remember from before he failed to credit the correct people that created xpwn and claimed that since they weren't around anymore he didn't have too but eventually gave in after Geohot and MuscleNerd plus others got on him saying it wasn't really his work. --[[user:alpineflip|alpineflip]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | ::::::You all made good points and I can't not agree really :D Perhaps we need a developers page then? People like [[User:iH8sn0w|iH8sn0w]] (and possibly myself coming to [[User:liamchat|Liamchat]]'s point) that develop stuff for the iPhone Pwning community but can't be classified as 'hackers' as such but still need recognition. iH8sn0w has worked hard for the community... -- [[User:Windows Helpdesk|blackthund3r]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | :::::::ok so we need a page to document all app's developed to help those who have just joined iphone community start to learn how jailbreaks actually work and we should have a section documenting all baseband crash developers --[[User:Liamchat|liamchat]] 18:11, 23 September 2010 (UTC) |
||
| − | |||
| − | ::::::::Agreed, agreed and agreed... That means that /anyone/ can create something for the [[iPhone]] / [[iPod touch]] and receive credit/attribution and a way of making it available to everyone. It should literally list everyone and what they have contributed - including hackers/real JB devs. Also a page explaining the internals of a jailbreak would be advantageous (and I removed below section as it's being covered here) -- [[User:Windows Helpdesk|blackthund3r]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | :::::::::FWIW, this section was recently added. [http://theiphonewiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=7677&oldid=7661 Here] is where it came into play. I think this is a good section to have on the Main page, but really it should be reserved for notable hackers in the iPhone community. geohot and MuscleNerd both write/work on jailbreaks and unlocks (their own, from scratch), even swapping work on ultrasn0w after geohot opened his source. PlanetBeing has also worked on unlocks (most recently the latest ultrasn0w revision), not to mention his work on Linux for iPhone to get that working. Someone noted earlier in a rev note that geohot isn't on the scene anymore. This is irrelevant, as this is still his Wiki (unless ownership changed?) and he's still hacking on the iPhone. Just because he's not giving you free stuff anymore doesn't mean he isn't involved. He just got tired of people bothering him. Regardless, ih8sn0w is not on the same level as these guys. At all. --[[user:tsuehpsyde|tsuehpsyde]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | ::::::::::So if the homepage is only for notable hackers where do we put everything / everyone else? We need a categorised page that has sorted developers and what they made. Then anyone can write a program and distribute via the iPhone Wiki. Then everyone gets a mention and anyone can show their tools off without being overshadowed by 'the big boys' -- [[User:Windows Helpdesk|blackthund3r]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | :::::::::::a lot of people who make jailbreak's are not mentioned [[User:Zibri]] ( was the first to use the [[AES Keys]] ) and [[User:ChronicDev]] both made a jailbreak and descoverd an exploit --[[User:Liamchat|liamchat]] 18:48, 23 September 2010 (UTC) |
||
| − | |||
| − | ::::::::::::His tools are mentioned which people can find easily on the main page so they will know who he is but to list him under a category with people like MN, PB, comex, pod2g etc he doesn't even fall close to. Just because you developed an app doesn't mean you are considered a hacker especially if it's not even your work originally! As for the patches in his new version of sn0wbreeze I'm pretty sure msft_guy (not affiliated with any dev teams) released his bundles and by coincidence sn0wbreeze supports the new FW shortly after --[[user:alpineflip|alpineflip]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | :::::::::::::I dont believe iH8sn0w should be considered a hacker. All he does is repackage xpwn into a user-friendly GUI for Windows users and thats it. It's also funny how many naive people see him as being a hacker and they just have complete trust that he'll jailbreak the latest OS. He only recycles current known information. I bet if the dev team found a way to hide their bundles for when the iPhone 4 might be pwnagetool compatible, iH8sn0w will not be able to make sn0wbreeze support it. It's also ridiculous how he just puts up both, donation links and a chipin link for funding for new devices. I believe that that is just being plain abusive. People need to open their eyes and see that iH8sn0w is nothing special. --[[user:gamer765|gamer765]] |

| − | |||
| − | ::::::::::::::why are we still arguing i and [[User:Windows Helpdesk|blackthund3r]] agreed that [[User:iH8sn0w|iH8sn0w]] is not a hacker ( he may be if he is the first to make the [[usb_control_msg(0xA1, 1) Exploit]] work ) but until then i think we need to document the people who are working on tool's to help jailbreak the iphone and ipod's of the world also lot's of jailbreak's where made by random people like the [[LibTiff]] and [[Ramdisk Hack]] and because they where not made by [[IPhone Dev Team]] there where not welcomed like on [[Talk:Ramdisk Hack]] --[[User:Liamchat|liamchat]] 15:50, 24 September 2010 (UTC) |

| − | :::::::::::::::the dev team were the first to implement [[usb_control_msg(0xA1, 1) Exploit]] discovered by pod2g into redsn0w and released on September 20t; ih8sn0w only mentioned after the fact that he then can include support a day later, and there are plenty of tools out only problem I see is ih8sn0w stuff isn't built very well --[[user:alpineflip|alpineflip]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | ::::::::::::::::I'm going to go ahead and remove ih8sn0w for now since the general consensus here is that he doesn't belong in that group. Anyone that adds it back in, I will revert their change and point them to the discussion page since most of the people defending his position have not said anything in the discussion. --[[user:tsuehpsyde|tsuehpsyde]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | :::::::::::::::::So I am not with putting ih8sn0w's name in the hackers list but this guy needs sone appreciations , at least he made something for the jailbreak community that's why I am putting a new "category" called '''iPhone Hacks Developers''' so that ih8sn0w's name will be on this wiki , even if not in the hackers category . I hope this is OK for the most of you , I am gonna wait before posting it so that any one that doesn't like this idea will talk and post in here !! :-) |

| − | ::::::::::::::::::Why do we need an 'iPhone Hacks Developers' section on the main page? There's already a section with applications (including sn0wbreeze), which when you click on them, tells you who developed them. Is there some dire need to have ih8sn0w on the main page? If so, I'm not seeing it. --[[user:tsuehpsyde|tsuehpsyde]] |

| − | :::::::::::::::::::Honestly, iH8sn0w doesnt even deserve to be in that list either. That list title kinda means that he develops hacks which he does not. A more appropriate title would be "XPwn repackagers" --[[User:gamer765|gamer765]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | ::::::::::::::::::::I think he should personally. You have to remember he did more than just repackage xpwn. He created tools for late bootroms that were on 3.1.2 to be jailbroken on new firmwares, though it is tethered. I also think it should go into detail on what each "hacker" does for the community. --[[User:JacobVengeance|JacobVengeance]] 23:41, 24 September 2010 (UTC) |

| − | :::::::::::::::::::::There is a difference between created and copied, unfortunately none of ih8sn0w's work is original.

| − | |||
| − | :::::::::::::::::::::::::I agree. While most of us agree that ih8Sn0w's work isn't completely original code, it's still quite a feat to make command-line (or source only!) tools readily usable by the masses. --[[User:Ryccardo|Ryccardo]] 12:33, 25 September 2010 (UTC) |

Apple TV
We could add the Apple TV to the hardware section on the main page as we have other pages for it in the wiki as well --M2m 07:42, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
- Done Balloonhead66 15:19, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
firmware keys
We need a "standard" for firmware key posting so that we can stay organized. Who likes this method?
--The preceding unsigned comment was added by ChronicDev (talk) 02:28, June 18, 2009. Please consult this page for more info on how to sign pages, and how to fix this.
Love it. -drg
anything is better then what we got now --posixninja 05:16, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Nice job with the reorganization --geohot
I know this thread is old, but I like the template on Apex 8A400 (iPod touch 3G) frankly because I helped to make it, and it links to all parts of the FW so people know what the **** a kernelcache or VFDecrypt is. :P --drake
Should iH8sn0w be listed as a hacker?
Hardware section names
Chronic, you started a name change in the hardware section. Such changes should be agreed on first. It's not even complete. Either we change it everywhere or revert back to how it was (my opinion). I also never liked the iAbc2,6 notation. Nobody knows what that is. Other opinions? -- http 12:08, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
Would prefer the old naming (ipod touch 2g, 3g, etc..) Would name the iOS Apple TV Apple TV 2G - even though this is not official name. Just my opinion. --M2m 14:56, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
Personally I would say leave it with the Prod#,# as, lets face it, if you're looking for info on it here you probably know what it is by any name, and if not it doesn't take a whole lot to figure it out. Worst someone would have to do is follow the link to check. -- OMEGA_RAZER
I'd prefer if every device was referred to by name (i.e.- "iPod touch 3G"). One thing is certain, though: it looks bizarre to have the iPhones listed by name, while the other devices are not. --Dialexio 18:50, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
Ok, so 3:1 to change it back to full names. -- http 23:40, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
SHAtter
I was thinking we should add SHAtter to the Jailbreak tools Balloonhead66 02:11, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
- SHAtter is the name of the exploit, not a jailbreak tool. :) --Dialexio 02:31, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
- Greenpois0n will be added when it is released and more is known about it I hope. --JakeAnthraX 04:45, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
- Ok, well what about adding Limera1n? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by Balloonhead66 (talk) 23:25, October 8, 2010 (UTC). Please consult this page for more info on how to sign pages, and how to fix this.
- Greenpois0n will be added when it is released and more is known about it I hope. --JakeAnthraX 04:45, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
The colored boxes
Why are there colored boxes and what do they represent as color? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by Balloonhead66 (talk) 18:26, October 9, 2010 (UTC). Please consult this page for more info on how to sign pages, and how to fix this.
- The colored boxes are supposed to represent progress made in each category. Orange (previously red, but changed due to readability issues) means it's nowhere near the goal. Yellow means progress is being/was made. Green means it's done and publicly available. --Dialexio 18:52, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
VFDecrypt
I think we should have a section on VFDecrypt and the keys...
