It will also show a message to show that the tweak has worked and no software will be discoverable (in the Software Section) if you decided you want to install the latest firmware just simply remove the tweak from Cydia.
No Update is available in Cydia via BigBoss repo…

Just a quick heads-up: Apple just dropped iOS 4.3.3. This update contains changes to the iOS crowd-sourced location database cache, including:

A set of folders was found in the OS 3.2 platform simulator, folders that are supposed to be dedicated to specific models of iPhone OS devices.
One of those folders are entitled N89, which is suppose to be the codename of the iPhone 4G, and one of the folder is entitled K48 which is suppose to be the codename for the iPad. With today’s Apple release of firmware 3.1.3 they also included the N80 model which is supposedly be the codename of the iTouch 4G. Previous iPhone codenames: M68, N82, and N88.

Word on the street is that Saurik is in development with a new tool , which will be a true blessing to all of us and it will be probably available through Cydia.It seems that this tool will make the process of updating the firmware even easier , and using this tool, we can update and keep the iPhone jailbroken and it prevent losing any information.
If you are on FSMdotCOM , chances are that you are using a Jailbroken iPhone or iTouch. If that is the case, than you should know what Cydia is, and maybe you know who Saurik is.

The tool is scheduled to be released sometime next week, but nothing is sure at this point. Best thing you can do is stay tuned.
A way of a developer distributing apps through installer/cydia. For example: Once you(a Dev) makes a repo you put your apps in it then can distribute the link of the repo to others so they can install your apps via installer.
The Dev-Team has announced that the new firmware 2.2.1 closes the “Injection hole” used by yellowsn0w to unlock 3G iPhones. While the “injection hole” still exists in the 1st gen iPhones you still should not upgrade until the Dev-Team updates the Pwns. You have been warned. It usually takes 24 to 48 hours for the Dev-Team to update the Pwns. So just sit back and relax, they are working on it.
If you are on an official carrier the unlock is of no importance to you. In a day or two (hopefully) QuickPwn will be updated to use the new 2.2.1 firmware.You will be able to update then, and rejailbreak.
If you need the unlock hold off on any updates until otherwise given the go ahead. Updating will result in your iPhone being locked and unusable on your nonofficial carrier. In the past Pwnagetool has been able to update while preserving the baseband of your iPhone. I can not state this will be the case for the new Firmware. The closing of the “injection hole” sounds more like Apple didn’t update the baseband, but just secured the vulnerability in the 2.2 firmware.
You might ask why would Apple only block the unlock and not jailbreaking also. Well Apple has contracts with carriers all over the world to be the only carriers that offer service for the 3G. Apple doesn’t want to stop jailbreaking because it voids your warranty. Basically the same as if you bought a brand new 3G and went out in the parking lot and smashed it on the ground. Apple isn’t going to replace it. If you break your iPhone you have to buy another, and that makes Apple more money. If you unlock your phone Apple loses money, because if they don’t stop you they get sued by the carriers. It’s your iPhone you can do what ever you want with it. Apple just has to cover their butts and try to keep them locked to official carriers.
I hope this not only convinced you to wait on your firmware upgrade, but also explained to you why you should always hold off until the Dev-Team has had time to update the Pwns to work with the new firmwares. New features are fine and dandy as long as they don’t take away all the other nifty features you have added.
What is jailbreaking?
Jailbreaking refers to ‘breaking the iPod Touch and iPhone free from the clutches of Apple’. In other words you are hacking the iPod/iPhone inorder to gain access to its files so you can modify your device.
Is jailbreaking illegal?
NOOOOOOO!!!! Ok , this really bugs me. I keep getting emails that ask me the same question. IT IS YOUR DEVICE, YOUR PROPERTY! Once you bought it you can do what ever you want with it. Nobody cares what you do with it.
Ok, but does jailbreaking void my warranty?
Of course. Technically it voids your warranty. But if something goes wrong with your device, all you need to do is hit restore, and there is no way for apple to find out if your device was hacked!
Are cracked apps illegal?
Another question i get emailed about a lot. Really now?!?!? Yes of course it is. You are stealing from the developers! Again, to get myself heard : from the devs, not from apple. Apple is just a 2 way sucking machine. Sucks money from you and from devs. Yes i know, this blog provides cracked apps as well. Why? So you can try it cracked, and if it really suits your needs to buy it. Take it as a fully functional, no time limit demo of the app. Now you can be an ipocrit that accuse me of providing links to cracked apps, but once you done accusing me, you start to download music. Anyway to make a resume : Yes it is illegal , and if you like the app, buy it!!!
Can Apple tell if i have cracked apps?
Do you plan on telling them?
I am a paranoid pussy question : Will i get arrested if i use cracked apps?
NO!!! again nobody will know that you download cracked apps, besides you. And your conscience that will tell you every night before you go to sleep that you just stole from the developers 🙂
Have i told you how much i love my iPhone? Well today i love it even more.

MewSeek formerly known as iSlsk in 1.1.x ) is a native P2P SoulSeek client that lets you search and download music or any other files straight to your iPhone/iPhone 3G or iPod Touch using either EDGE, Wi-Fi or 3G connection
