This post will bump the largest one off the front page. My site was getting a bit bloated.

Amazing timing. I just got that. . .
For the past few days, I have been gathering the pieces for a project I finally started tonight. The strange part is that until tonight, I didn’t know that I’d be on this project. It involves an old iOS device, custom payloads, older Mac OS and especially old Xcode. It is as if it touched on everything i had been blogging about this week. Nothing new. Just stuff I was letting myself forget. None of it works with any of the newer devices (explains all the old code). It also involved finding my old methods or rediscovering them. When I’m done, I will pack it up nicely, document it thoroughly and hopefully never have to redo this part of the work again. Thanks for the much needed distraction, now back to work.

Links to Download Xcode DMG for all version!
Ok, i was doing some work with Mac Ports on an old 10.7.5 machine (9 year old iMac still works great). I realized that i needed an Xcode install for 10.7.5. I spent hours trying to find links to old Xcode versions on Apple’s Developer site. They are gone. Broadening my search to google, I found this amazing trove of links. I am posting them here for my own selfish reasons, but i linked to the original post. Why must Apple insist on deleting the past. enjoy them while they still work.
(you will need to be registered as an apple developer for these links to work. Anyone can do it and it is free.)

TBT: Remembering Hacktivation and some trickery I did 4 years ago. . .
Back in the days of hacked bootloaders and software unlocks, iOS (or was it still iPhoneOS back then) hackers could build custom ispw(s) that could be installed directly upon the device. This wouldn’t just jailbreak, but it could install any number of 3rd party packages in one awesome sweep. I prepared just such a custom package. I wrote a post about it here. At the time, I hesitated to post the actual packages for obvious reasons. I do it today because i honestly don’t care and I was highly amused to recently discover that I never stopped hosting the files nor the instructions that I hastily wrote to aid a few friends.
Originally, these instructions were written to the winner of the auction for my phone. (I promised that i would help him upgrade the software without breaking the soft unlock). Back in those days, it was possible to sell a hacked and unlocked iPhone for more then the cost of upgrading to the new one. A helpful way to finance constant hardware upgrades.
iPhone takes another dump!
This morning I woke to see that I hadn’t plugged in my phone overnight. I plugged it in and continued to prepare my breakfast. I returned to find the boot screen staring ominously at me. It never booted. So much for my jailbreak. I tried a few things (force restart, safe mode, no luck). Oddly enough, my watch was still receiving txt messages- no other iMessage client was working at that time). Now i am restoring to last year. (lol – it’s only 2 weeks old)
