Download iPhone SDK using wget

admin — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 15:17:20 +0000

If you are using slow connection like me and trying to download the apples iPhone SDK , then you already know how much tough it is , because of apple only allow to download this file after login. And non of the download manager can give you the resume facility. so after trying 2 days with different downloaders i tried wget and got sucess

Here i am discribing how to do it. First login to http://developer.apple.com/iphone (if you don’t have any account, just create one, it’s free). then use firefox extension to export (firebug+firecookie) cookie to cookie.txt . Then rest of the task simple. just copy download link from http://developer.apple.com/iphone and give the following command in the console.

$cd /path/to/cookie.txt

$ wget -ct 0 –load-cookies cookie.txt your_file_url

that’s all, now you can resume download without any problem. Here is the command i used to download to download it.

$ wget -ct 0 –server-response –load-cookies cookies.txt http://developer.apple.com/iphone/download.action?path=/iphone/iphone_sdk_3.0__final/iphone_sdk_3.0__leopard__9m2736__final.dmg

Re-enable DFU mode in Mac OS X 10.5.6

oshim — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 08:39:28 +0000

this post will help them who are using hacked iPhone and mac os x 10.5.6(released December 15th ‘08). if you want to jailbreak or upgrade the firmware of your iPhone using mac os v10.5.6(released December 15th ‘08) then you have to follow these steps otherwise your new mac os will not support to upgrade your hacked iPhone. it’s unclear if apple did this intentionally or if it’s a bug in the kernel.

you are required to be logged in as an administrator and you must provide the admin password.

checks if you are at mac os x 10.5.6 or better (if not will quit)
quits all running apps (with save option)
backup the original files (AppleUSBHub.kext and IOUSBCompositeDriver.kext from 10.5.6) in a new folder on your Desktop
asks for your admin password
copy AppleUSBHub.kext and IOUSBCompositeDriver.kext from 10.5.5 into the desired location on your mac
set owner:group and permissions
rebuild the kextcache
reboot your mac

download the automator application from here.

http://www.iphone-hacks.com/downloads/Install_IOUSBFamily_kext_10_5_5.zip

unzip the archive
place the “Install_IOUSBFamily_kext_10_5_5″ folder on your Desktop (This is important)
open the folder and start the application “Fix_DFU_10_5_6″
you will see the readme box (click “OK”)
provide your admin password

let the Application do it’s job

at the end the Finder will open another dialog box telling you that the cache is being rebuild, click “OK” or just leave the box alone. after a couple of seconds your mac will reboot automatically – done, DFU is enabled again and your mac os x is ready to jailbreak your hacked iPhone.
