14 DAY TRIAL // TinyUmbrella, a jailbreaker’s tool coded by Semaphore, has reached version 4.1.8 which brings new features and a completely redesigned user interface, according to its maker. TinyUmbrella assists jailbreakers in saving their iOS devices’ SHSH Blobs for future jailbreak / unlock support.
Semaphore (@notcom on Twitter) is a member of the Chronic Dev Team, the folks behind Greenpois0n, a reliable jailbreak tool that currently supports all iOS devices capable of running version 4.1 of Apple’s mobile operating system.
The hacker has updated the Firmware Umbrella blog to inform the jailbreak community that the Mac version of their TinyUmbrella utility is now installed via a typical package installer. Also, the updated software doesn’t ask the user to enter their credentials at startup.
“I've also made a slight UI adjustment,” Semaphore writes.
The hacker elaborates: “when you click save shsh, the connected device AND the known device will show the spinner indicating progress. I've added a new preference for overwriting shsh's when performing an shsh request. (defaults to true),” his post reads.
