iDongle Solves Tethered Jailbreak Issue on iPhone 3G(s)

A new hardware solution for the tethered jailbreak has been announced over at www.myboyfriendisageek.com. It is called the "iDongle" and it is a small device that plugs into the 30 pin dock connector of your iPhone or iPod Touch. It solves the need to get home to your computer to re-jailbreak, if your device crashes or reboot on the go.

What is a tethered jailbreak? Basically, it is a one boot jailbreak. Limitations in the newer Apple touch devices prevent the full, traditional jailbreak that we know and love. With a tethered jailbreak, you have to re-jailbreak every time you restart your device. The easy way to avoid this, is just don’t off your device, but there are times when the device will crash, or reboot on it’s own. If you’re away from your computer when this happens, this can be really annoying, especially for those who rely on unlocking their iPhones to use them. The iDongle will allow you to re-jailbreak, on the go, so you never have to worry about crashes or reboots again.

So how does it work? Here’s some details from their blog:

Power-on your jailbreaked device
On iTunes logo, plug iDongle
Wait for LEDs to end flashing
Unplug iDongle or wait for boot

Here’s some notes from their FAQ:

What is it ?
This is a standalone piece of hardware able to boot your jailbreaked device (a.k.a “tethered boot”), and optionally to jailbreak and hacktivate it if not already done.
Why do I need this ?
If your jailbreaked device is stuck into “recovery mode” (i.e Connect-to-iTunes logo) each time you restart or reboot your device, then it may be useful for you =)
How do I know if my device is concerned ?
Any iPhone 3GS made after week 40 (2009). The week number is usually the 4th and 5th digit of the serial number. iPod Touch 2G whose serial number begins with “MC” are concerned or any iPod Touch 3G.
Which device is supported ?
From now, iPhone 3GS and iPodTouch 2G/3G are supported, all with OS 3.1 / 3.1.1 / 3.1.2 only, but the later is recommended.
Will you support OS 3.1.3 ?
Maybe, or not. iDongle can be easily updated through USB. If jailbreak is available, I’ll try and post a free update.
Does it provide unlock ?
Not directly. Look for Geohot’s “sn0w” or Dev Team’s “ultrasn0w” package on Cydia.

How To Clear Toshiba Laptop BIOS Password Hacking

These instructions explain how you can clear the BIOS password from older Toshiba laptops.
The article is written in German so I’ll ad some comments in English.
In order to clear the BIOS password you’ll have to create a plug for the laptop parallel port. You can make the plug from a parallel port connector for printers, known as DB25. Find an old parallel port connector, take it apart and solder pins inside the connector as described below.
Solder the following pins together:
Pins 1,5,10
Pins 2,11
Pins 3,17
Pins 4,12
Pins 6,16
Pins 7,13
Pins 8,14
Pins 9,15
Pins 18 through 25. The article says connect pin 18 to 25 but on my plug I connected pins 18,19,20, 21,22,23,24,25 together and it works great.
After all needed pins were connected, assemble the connector.
Here’s how you clear the BIOS password. Turn off the laptop, plug the connector into the parallel port on the back or side of your laptop, turn on the laptop while the connector is still plugged. The laptop will boot into the operating system without asking the BIOS password.
This method should work for the following Toshiba laptops:
Libretto 50-110, Portege 610-7220, Satellite 100-1800, Satellite 2060-5200, Satellite A10, A20, A40, Satellite Pro 400-6100, Tecra 500-9100, Tecra A1, A2, TE200, TE2100, Qosmio E10 and some other older Toshiba laptops.
This method will not work for the following Toshiba laptops:
Portege A100, M100, M200, R100, Satellite M30, Satellite Pro M10, M15, Tecra M1 and M2, Satellite 1905, 1955, A30, A70, A75, M30X, M35X, P10, P15, P25 and some other older laptops.
I don’t know all Toshiba models you can use this plug for, but if you have an older Toshiba laptop this method is worth trying.

PSP No Power Solution

When you try to dismantle the main board of PSP 1000. You will see the Fuse labeled TD on motherboard located on the left side of main power terminal. If your Psp wont turn on try to jumper the both ends of the fuse. And let see what will happen.

The main Board of PSP 1000

Nintendo Ds Lite L and R Led Button

Connect your led up to some long 30 gage kynar wire and glue your led to the motherboard on the right side with some glue, used hot glue. Then run the wire along the side of the wifi cable under the DS slot and through the other side.

On the right side glue your led up under the R button and run your wires next to your other wires for the right side down to the area right above the headphone jack (see picture).
Connect the positives and negitives on each and solder them together. Then attach a wire to each of them to go to the power source.

Then connect the positive power cord to the hole in the picture. If you look on the other side it is the power source to the origonal led before the resistor. The negitive needs to be connected to a negitive spot there are many on the board I choose the one next to the R button. Also watch the power switch when you put your system back together so you dont break it like I did.

Here is what your system should look like when your done.
