Get paid apps for free in iOS 10 without Jailbreak via vShare

Hi Guys,

Happy New Year to all of my readers and friends out there, yeah, I know I haven’t been very punctual for a while now, but to compensate for that, here’s a belated Christmas present, in form of free apps.

Today, we will get some paid apps for free in any iOS device without jailbreaking it with the help of this app called vShare and a Windows PC/Laptop.

Happy Christmas

Why a post on Downloading Paid Apps for free?

TechGlobule by no means is supporting or will ever support Piracy. We are with all our might against Piracy.

And the only reason we are showcasing apps like these is because they provide a way for users who are willing to pay for an app or game, but want to try it out beforehand, and before paying their hard-earned money. Many of the times if not all, after buying an app, it seems unworthy of the money spent.

How does it work?

vShare Helper Installer
vShare Helper Installer

vShare acts as an alternative to App Store, featuring all the apps on the original App Store and more. It (mis)uses the Developer certificates issued by Apple.
Apple issues Developer certificates to companies which want all of their employees to have a specific app. vShare uses this certificate and pretend that all its users are its employees. So you see, the apps you’ll install are genuine.
The only difference is that all the apps are free.

Extra Benefits

  • You can install apps which are not compatible to your device.
    I played Assassin Creeds Infinity on an iPad 2, not iPad Air 2, just iPad 2.
  • You can install apps not available in your country’s app store.
  • You can install apps which are no longer supported by the App Store, or discontinued.
    I played FIFA 14 as well, because it played more smoothly on an old iPad 2.
  • You can install apps like Movie Box or other jailbroken Cydia Apps.
    Ooh yes!! 😉

Will it support my device?

Yes, the app supports all iPhones, iPads etc. whether jail-broken or not. I have not tested it on an iPod yet.

The app worked absolutely fine on my iPad 2 (iOS 9.2.1). I haven’t tested in any other device.

Its website vshare.com says that it will work on any iOS from iOS 7.x.x to iOS 10.x.x. Tell us in the comments, how it worked out for you.

How to get it?

You can just follow the screenshots steps, down below, or you can read the steps, 🙂

  1. Open a Windows PC/Laptop, go to vShare.com and download vShare for PC using the Download button.
  2. Once downloaded, open the file to install it.
  3. Choose Yes in Windows User Control dialogue box, if it appears. Refer to screenshots.
  4. Choose one key installation button, in vShare Helper installation.
  5. After it is installed, click on Try it Now.
  6. Click the X button to dismiss paid features.
  7. If any Apple Driver is missing, you will get this Fail screen, just use the Download button.
  8. vShare will reboot automatically, and then connect your iOS Device.
    For e.g. an old iPad 2 in my case.
  9. A dialogue box will appear scanning Apple Drivers, on your Laptop, ignore it. But tap on Trust on your iOS Device.
  10. Click on Install vShare.
  11. You will find vShare install in your iOS Device in a couple of moments.

How to use it?

Beginning –

  1. Open the app, skip the advertised apps to prevent installing them.
  2. Search for any app in top most search bar, e.g. Monopoly.
  3. Tap on Get button. It might shoot an advertisement at you, and you will land in original App Store. Go back to vShare.

Downloading –

  1. You can check current downloads by tapping the small downloads button in the right top most corner. Or you can just wait for it to ask for installing it. Tap on Install.
  2. Well, try to keep vShare in the foreground till installation is complete.
    1. Now, just run the app and enjoy.
    2. If you can;t run the app,
      Go to Settings > General > Profiles > ‘something’ Group Co. > Trust. Then run the app and enjoy.

Note

  1. Don’t be like me and install Monopoly for iPhone on an iPad, choose the iPad version.
  2. Jailbroken users
    1. Can use the same way to install vShare. (Recommended)
    2. Or can add Repo http://repo.appvv.com to Cydia and install vShare from Cydia. (Not recommended)

That’s all folks.

Note – TechGlobule is by no means responsible for any damage to your device. If you face any damage, just delete the app. These are my personal views. I have told you all the possible risks, which are next to none, I guess.

TaiG Jailbreak (iOS 8.1.3 to 8.3)

Hi Guys,

In an earlier post, we discussed about jailbreaking iOS 8 to iOS 8.2 Beta 2 via the TaiG Jailbreak Tool v1.2.1 and v1.3. Today, we are gonna discuss about the updated TaiG JailBreak Tool v2.1.2 which can jailbreak devices running iOS 8.1.3 upto the latest iOS 8.3. You can check your iOS version in Settings > General > About > Version.

What is TaiG JailBreak Tool?

A jailbreak tool named TaiG is released by the TaiG Team and is frequently updated to keep jailbreaking latest iOS version.
TaiG v1.2.1. This tool allows for an untethered jailbreak on devices, running iOS 8.0 to iOS 8.1.2. Read more.
TaiG v1.3. This tool allows for an untethered jailbreak on devices, running iOS 8.2 Beta 2. Read more.
TaiG v2.1.2. This is the most anticipated update of TaiG, because as the jailbreak tool for iOS 8.2 Beta 2 came before a tool for iOS 8.1.3, many people believed iOS 8.1.3 along with iOS 8.3 is un-jailbreakable. But nonetheless, Jailbreak community came to rescue as always, this time as TaiG v2.1.2. This tool allows for an untethered jailbreak on devices, running iOS 8.1.3 to iOS 8.3. Read more by scrolling below.

Who are the TaiG Team?

Team TaiG first launched their jailbreak tool on 29 November 2014 which could jailbreak iOS 8.0 to iOS 8.1.2. Not much is known about this group of Jailbreakers, except that they are Chinese Developers or Hackers. We can say that confidently because both their site is in Chinese language 😉. In early 2015, they updated and revised their existing jailbreak techniques to further develop the tool to make it able to jailbreak iOS 8.2 Beta 2.

And here they come again with further updating TaiG tool to v2.1.2, which can now successfully jailbreak iOS 8.1.3 to iOS 8.3.

How to get it?

To use the TaiG JailBreak Tool to jailbreak your iOS device, first you need to install Taig on your PC, which is easily available to download via the following link of TaiG.com. Download it in your Windows PC. Here’s the link – drive.google.com/TaiGJBreak_EN_2.1.20.zip

How to use it?

Preparation –

i) After downloading the zipped file, unzip it in your PC.
ii) Install iTunes, if not installed already via link 32 bit OR 64 bit.
iii) Backup your device using iTunes (or iCloud) before using Taig. If something breaks, you’ll always be able to recover your data. (Personally I prefer to reset my iPhone and not making a full backup, that’s too slow. iCloud is still a better option regarding speed).
iv) Those who use backup passwords in iTunes must disable them for now. After doing so, iTunes makes a brand new backup. Please wait for that backup to complete before proceeding! Feel free to re-enable your backup password after jailbreaking.
v) Disable the lock pass-code of your iOS device before using TaiG via Settings > General > Pass-code Lock.
vi) Disable Find my iPhone (Settings > Privacy > Location Services) and enable AirPlane Mode via Settings.
vii) Make sure to have at least 80% battery in your iDevice, before jailbreaking.

JailBreaking –

viii) Launch iTunes, plug-in your device, once iTunes identifies your device, Launch Taig and kill iTunes via Windows Task Manager.
ix) Keep the Cydia option checked. Make sure to uncheck the second option of 3K assistant or something like that.
x) Click the button of “Start” in the bottom part of Taig window. Just sit back and see its progress.
xi) Avoid using your device or iTunes related tasks until the process is complete. You can just enjoy a brief break from the computer to stretch your legs.
xii) {Optional step} If the process gets stuck somewhere, it’s safe to restart the program, reboot the device (by holding the Power and Home button simultaneously until the Apple Logo appears), and restart the process, with WiFi off.
xiii) Once the process is done, you will find the “Cydia” app on your home screen which is your AppStore for JailBroken devices.
xiv) You can also set a pass code and enable Find my iPhone. Do disable the Airplane mode.
xv) Now enjoy your jailbroken device.

Precautions –

xvi) If you try to update your device’s iOS version through the phone itself (i.e. OTA Updates), it will un – jailbreak your device. Because in higher versions of iOS, often the security holes are patched. These security holes are used to exploit and root the phone which are present in earlier version of iOS.
xvii) But you can again jailbreak the newer version of iOS too. 😉

TaiG’s Gratitude

“This is TaiG’s third time to release a jailbreak tool. For the last two releases, we received great attention from jailbreak users and technology media worldwide, and we want to say thank you.

An untethered jailbreak takes not only a slice of fortune but an ascetic perseverance. XN, as an exploit developer of TaiG Jailbreak team, is in fact lonely, of very few words and a socially challenged person. Even so, there is still one of his rare times to tell us: he wants to let his brain stop thinking.

The most exciting part in jailbreak development is the moment to see Jailbreak Succeeded. It is the recognition and support of our users that drive us to keep moving forward. At this moment, no word can express the appreciation, and no word has no vulnerabilities. XN chooses to dedicate his enthusiasm and energy to coding and programming.

Thanks for Apple for the greatest product of this era. Thanks for all the jailbreak developers to make the world even better.”

– TaiG Jailbreak Team, 23rd June, 2015

How to change the default browser of any iDevice?

Hi Guys,

Today we are discussing how to change the default browser of an iOS device, that is Safari to any other browser, like Google Chrome, Opera Mini, etc.

How can I change the default browser in my iDevice?

  • First of all, you will need a Jailbroken iOS Device. If you can find an app named Cydia, then your iDevice is jailbroken. Else you’ll need to jailbreak it, try Jailbreaking made easy.
  • Then download any other browser which you want to make your default browser like Google Chrome, Opera Mini, etc.
  • Open Cydia, and search for BrowserChooser. Install it.
  • After installation, go to Settings > BrowserChooser. You will find a list of installed browsers, choose anyone, Or choose none, if you want it to be Android style, asking every time you click a link.
  • You are done.

Now whenever, Safari opened automatically, for e.g. when clicking any link, or searching via Siri; Instead of Safari, the link will open in your chosen browser.

Who’s the developer?

BrowserChooser tweak was developed by Ryan Petrich. He is one of the well-known Jailbreak Developers and iOS Hacker. This tweak along with other great tweaks are also available on his own Repo http://rpetri.ch/repo/.

Will it support my device?

It will most probably work with all iDevices running any iOS. But developers say it supports iOS 5 and above.

I personally tested it on my iPhone 4S running iOS 8.1.2. It didn’t worked all the time. So I switched to Browser Changer. But everyone should consider BrowserChooser first because it is made by a well known iOS Developer, Ryan Petrich.

In which Repo will I find it?

It is readily available for free on the BigBoss Repo as well as Ryan’s own Beta Repo in Cydia. Simply search for BrowserChooser in the Search section, and install it. If you are unsure how to install, see our post or YouTube video to get assistance regarding installations in Cydia. BigBoss Repo – http://apt.thebigboss.org/repofiles/cydia/ and Ryan Petrich’s Repo – http://rpetri.ch/repo/

Note in case of failure –

In case BrowserChooser isn’t working as expected or isn’t supporting your iOS version or your refereed Browser, you can try Browser Changer Tweak. It is a similar tweak.

Activator Tweak: The best Cydia Tweak

Hi Guys,

Today, we are gonna learn about a famous Cydia Tweak, known as Activator.
For more such tweaks, visit our category of Jailbroken Apps.

What is Activator?

Activator is a tweak designed to improve the customizability of shortcuts in the native iOS system as well as to third-party apps.
It is a dependency of many other major tweaks. It is the backbone of a Jailbroken iDevice. Well, not really, your iDevice can work well without it, but with it, it will work awesome.

What can it do?

Activator Tweak

Activator as said in its description on Cydia –
“Centralized gestures, button and shortcut management for iOS.”

Various jailbreak tweaks like LastApp and SBSettings use Activator as their method of activation.

 

There is plenty of customized actions you can do with Activator on your own to make your life easier. You can use it to quickly launch apps, and perform other system actions. It can be a great way to save time.

 

Activator can do any “task” when an “action” is triggered (Don’t worry, you are the one here specifying the task as well as the action). The options are Anywhere, At Home Screen, In Application, and At Lock Screen. Each one of these has the same massive list of activations, but they will only trigger if you are in the right part of your phone.

 

Personally, I always mostly use Anywhere, as I want to use most actions no matter what, but there are times where setting actions only at certain locations can be helpful.

 

It would fill a whole forum to list the available actions and combinations of actions (Cool!), but I will tell those which I use in my iPhone –
Turning on WiFi whenever I unlock my device, and it off on locking it, (it help saves me battery), I use the same for Location Services too, (yes I can assign multiple tasks to the same action).
I envied the back button of my Android using friends but that was before I jailbreaked my iPhone, I use LastApp, whenever I swipe the right part of the Status Bar, I get back to the last app being used.
 

It also integrates with tons of other jailbreak tweaks and apps, so many of their actions can be set to custom triggers. Triggers can also be assigned to controlling your music, locking and unlocking your device, launching certain functions on the phone like calling or messaging a specific person, opening different parts of settings, composing messages, posting status, performing system functions such as rebooting and going into safe mode, launching selected apps, and toggling quick settings like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, etc. etc. I’ll be tired if I try to explain its limitless functionality in brief. So as you can see, it can really help automate all kinds of things on your iDevice.

Who is the developer?

Activator tweak was developed by Ryan Petrich. He is one of the well-known Jailbreak Developers and iOS Hacker. This tweak along with other great tweaks are also available on his own Repo http://rpetri.ch/repo/

Will it support my device?

It will most probably work with all iDevices running any iOS. But developers say it supports iOS 5 and above.

How to get it?

It is readily available for free on the BigBoss Repo as well as Ryan’s own Beta Repo in Cydia. Simply search for Activator in the Search section, and install it. If you are unsure how to install, see our post or YouTube video to get assistance regarding installations in Cydia. BigBoss Repo – http://apt.thebigboss.org/repofiles/cydia/

How to download Torrents in iOS without Jailbreak?

Hi Guys,

Today, we are gonna learn how to get a BitTorrent client in an iOS device, namely iTransmission.

Why a separate post on Downloading torrents in iOS?

We are doing a separate post on this specific topic mainly because due to some privacy related concerns, Apple Inc. has not allowed any apps which acts or may potentially act a Torrent Client to the App Store.

But I would like to say to Apple Inc. that torrents aren’t always illegal to download. For e.g. Many free softwares (freeware and shareware) can be downloaded via torrents. Also many open source projects and software applications are downloaded via this method. The foremost example is Ubuntu.com, it allows its users to download Ubuntu OS via torrents.

Still, instead of waiting for Apple Inc. to include a Torrent Client, I found myself an app out of App Store.

How does the app works?

iTransmission 4 is a free, open-source native BitTorrent client for iOS that uses libtransmission as its backend, the same backend used in the Transmission client for Mac. iTransmission is a fully featured torrent application that will work on your iPhone and iPod Touch. The app has been updated, now it also supports iPad.

Who is the developer?

iTransmission, the first version, was originally created by Changping Chen, but version 2 and 3 were updated by iOShomebrew. The current version (that is iTransmission4) is an extension from version 3 which is being handled and updated by Andrew Wiik, a jailbreak developer.

Will it support my device?

Well, the app developers say it will support all iOS devices including 64 bit devices like iPhone 5S and iPad Air too but it doesn’t says anything about the iOS version support. I personally tested it on an iPhone 4s (iOS 8.1.1) and it worked awesome.

How to get it?

i) Open Safari in the iOS device. This only works on Safari.

ii) Go to iEmulators.com.

iii) Tap on Apps. You will find a large range of apps.

iv) Tap on iTransmission > Install.

v) A box will appear asking dl.boxcloud.com would like to install “iTransmission”. Tap on Install.

vi) Except some downloading issues, everything was perfect. By downloading issues I mean, an error may occur saying Can’t download App with 2 options Retry and Done. Just hit Done and forget about it for about half a day or so.
I found that it was successfully downloaded and installed.

How to use it?

Using iTransmission is a very easy job.
Simply get any torrent in any app, let’s say Dropbox, Google Drive, Safari, or any 3rd party browser. It also supports magnet URLs.
You will automatically see an 2 options of “Open in…” and “Open in “abc”, where abc can be any installed app.
If abc is not iTransmission, then tap on “Open in…” and select iTransmission.
It will automatically start downloading the torrent.

Important steps –

It will download the torrent files in a storage where you can’t reach, unless you jailbreak. So, basically you can’t just simply delete it.
What I do is after the downloading gets completed, I tap on the Torrent > Files > File > Open in > SHAREit.
Then I open iTransmission again, swipe the torrent to left to reveal Delete button.
On tapping Delete, it shows 2 options “Yes and Delete Data” and “Yes but Keep Data”. Always choose the first option. If you choose the second option, you simply can’t get rid of that downloaded data unless you jailbreak.
After jailbreak, you will have to get a file manager to find and delete that data.
Once the data is transferred to Shareit, it can be easily transferred to any other device.

Note for Jailbroken users

Jailbroken users can simply install iTransmission from Cydia.
You can read our article on How to install apps using Cydia?
For those who prefer a video version of installing apps using Cydia.

That’s all folks.

Note – To eliminate risks, I personally don’t download torrents on my iPhone because of complicated file manager. This is my personal view. I have told you all possible risks.

Cydia – Jailbroken App Store

Hi Guys,

In an earlier post we discussed the Play Store for rooted Android devices known as Xposed Framework.

Today we are gonna discuss the App Store for jailbroken iOS Devices known as Cydia.

What is Cydia?

Cydia is like an App Store on which all the items (apps, modules, tweaks, emulators, etc.) which needs root access to work properly, or which got rejected by Apple Inc. to be included in the official App Store to protect its the limitations it imposes on its devices.
The foremost thing is it also allows you to change the look of your iPhone, which is the main reason we envy our Android friends. You can select from a variety of themes that can change your icons, wallpaper, dock and status bar, etc. You can even use an application called WinterBoard to changes things like your dialer keypad, your Chat bubbles, the color of the WiFi and Signal bars…etc.

Why use Cydia instead of App Store?

It’s an independent, third-party installer application for all the iOS Devices. Developed by Jay Freeman (Saurik), it’s similar to the official App Store but has even better apps to feature. Many a times, apps featured in Cydia make their place in future versions of iOS.

How to get Cydia?

If you have jailbroken your iOS device via a popular or known jailbreak tool like Evasi0n, Pangu or Taig, you will automatically get the lastest version of Cydia installed in your device. Or else, let us know in the comments.

How to use Cydia?

Once you open it, you’ll find 5 sections. Here are the details:

Cydia – Here you’ll find link to Saurik’s Facebook and Twitter page, some sponsored apps (which are mostly paid), account information (it isn’t needed until you buy a paid tweak or app), user guides, FAQs, community help and some extras.

Sources – All the sources / repositories can be viewed here which were either pre-installed or installed by user. Repositories are an online hub where the developers release and store their tweaks for quick access and installation by anyone. You can add or remove sources by tapping on “Edit”. User shouldn’t install unknown repositories, as they may contain harmful app.

Changes – All new programs and updates can be found here. This particular section is updated every time Cydia is opened.

Installed – This section allows you seen all the things ( apps, tweaks, mods etc.) which are installed in your phone. User can remove anything by tapping it > Modify > Remove > Reboot Device / Respring Device (whichever option is visible). But users should refrain removing pre-installed things which are installed during the jailbreak process. To make sure that, one should only use the User tab from above tabs in this section.

Search – If you know the name of the tweak, you can go to this tab and start searching by entering the name. User can install anything by tapping it > Install > Confirm > Reboot Device / Respring Device (whichever option is visible).

Note – You can also use Continue Queuing option if you want to install or remove more than one thing during a restart.

What is the difference between Respring and Reboot?

Respring means Restart Springboard, it can be thought of as a soft restart, in it only the software restarts making it quicker than a reboot. On the other hand, in a reboot, both software and hardware as well restarts. The software of the iDevice is known as the Springboard.

What is the Safe Mode?

In case anything newly installed, gets faulty like any tweak or module, to prevent any harm to itself, the device will automatically restart in safe mode, in which one can go to Cydia and remove the newly installed package via the Installed Section.

How to buy apps from Cydia?

Cydia offers some awesome paid tweaks to spice up your iPhone or iPad. Cydia allows you to login with a Facebook or Twitter account and pay via Amazon gift cards or PayPal. Payments are easier than you would expect.

About the Developer

Jay Freeman (Saurik) first released Cydia in February 2008 as an open-source alternative to Installer.app on iPhone OS 1.1. On November 5, 2014, Cydia was updated to version 1.1.16. This version included some minor bug fixes.

You can see a demo in the Cydia Gallery. Ask your queries or feedback in the comments.
