iPhone 4S gets new iOS 5.0.1 build

This isn't the larger iOS 5.1 update that's currently in the hands of developers, but Apple has seemingly re-released 5.0.1 today with a new build — 9A406 instead of the earlier 9A405 — that's only available for the iPhone 4S, specifically. Well-known iOS hacker MuscleNerd recently tweeted an unusual observation about the update: it's the first official 4S firmware with an accessible encryption key for the main file system, meaning you can browse the file system from a PC unimpeded. Lots of folks are pointing out that this means users will be able to get at Siri's files without committing piracy, and that could lead to a field day for Siri hacks. There's no official word from Apple at this point on exactly what's changed.

Okay then, but you might not like what comes next. We already knew that either the Sense UI or some pre-installed apps would be cleared out to make room in the Gingerbread house, but now it seems the update is so unstable that HTC is only prepared to release it as a ROM via its developer site. That means a factory reset of your device, a bunch of worries about SMS and MMS not working properly, and a cold disclaimer in the event of things going wrong. Still, at least HTC gave (some of) us the choice. Visit the source link below for deliberately spooky instructions.

With a 600Mhz processor, the LG Ally may come up a bit too short to meet Adobe's hardware requirements for Flash Player 10.1. Based on Adobe's latest requirements, an Android 2.2 device equipped with a WVGA screen must have a processor clocked at 800MHz or higher. Unless some changes are made soon, Ally owners might end up shut out of one of the major applications installed on Froyo flavored handsets.
