bsdiff patches are the normal way that PwnageTool modifies Apple software. To apply one manually, you must first get the “bspatch” program. Then do:
bspatch CommCenter CommCenter-hacked CommCenter.patch
If you don’t have bsdiff but know how to use a hex editor, the differences are available
The correct SHA1 of the hacked file will be:
1b19712035f33654cf72838ebe1a2033931b56b2 # 3GS
063165c3fa3e21d30eb4b486fab924ba3ef0ea5e # 3G
