Faiz: @MuscleNerd btw @sherif_hashim was working on i4 since long ? Did he not find anything interesting.This news gives some hope to iPhone 4 users who stuck on iOS 4.2.1 or iOS 4.1 with upgraded baseband as BB 02.10.04 or BB 03.10.01. More updates as they come! Stay tuned !
MuscleNerd: @mfaizulislam just the opposite :) @sherif_hashim has provided very nice crashes for i4 BB, which we can explore more starting Monday :)
MuscleNerd: @N44GGA we're about to release a small redsn0w update that will make that much easierSo, the new version will include OpenSSH and you'll not need to install OpenSSH in the previous guides to patch the broken Cydia. Anyway, we'll keep you updated whenever the tool is out, or may be they surprise us with the new version of Cydia compatible with iOS 4.2.
N44GGA: @MuscleNerd just need openssh included thanx
MuscleNerd: @N44GGA yep that's what it will have :)
By all accounts, we’re within a few days of Apple’s official public release of Firmware 4.2. Here’s what you need to know:Better explanation? iPhone hacker comex could make untethered jailbreak until iOS 4.2 beta 3 (that's why you see it's SHSH in Cydia) and is working on extending it to final iOS 4.2. iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS will get Ultrasn0w unlock once iOS 4.2 is released while iPhone 4 will get it a bit more but as soon as possible ! So, stay tuned for some good news here !
- Thanks to geohot’s limera1n exploit, and our original pwnage2 exploit, and pod2g’s ipod2g-MC exploit, absolutely all devices at all iOS devices at all
- The untethered jailbreak of the very latest FWs and devices depends on @comex hacks. His hacks so far extend only to 4.1 and 4.2beta3. He’s working on a way to extend it to 4.2 and beyond. Just wait for him to work out his method.
- iPhone 3G and 3GS unlockers will be covered by our upcoming unlock. Stay away from any updates to Apple FW until our official release and you’ll be okay. Just stay away from all Apple IPSWs :)
- iPhone4 unlockers are not left out in the cold. @sherif_hashim has found some very promising avenues to pursue. Those will be explored as soon as possible after all the 4.2 madness.
What does this mean to you?
- If you’re an unlocker, just stay where you are. Please, just stay where you are. Any mistakes you make now may be permanent.
- If you only care about the jailbreak, feel free to experiment but keep in mind that any mistake you make may result in you losing pictures or notes or bookmarks that you’d rather keep. Honestly unless you love living on the bleeding edge, it’s better to just wait for official updates from Cydia/redsn0w/PwnageTool.
- Don’t buy or donate to any unlock or jailbreak scammers. Every legitimate solution you will find for unlocks or jailbreaks will be offered without an extended hand. That’s how this community works. It’s about freedom, not donations.
@Chpwn redsnow will be open source soon :)Also p0sixninja of Chornic Dev Team confirmed that GreenPois0n will go open sourced:
p0sixninja: Greenpois0n components will be updated/open sourced as soon as it’s out of beta.In case you don't know, GreenPois0n was released early this month based on Limera1n's exploit. You can follow our guide posted here to jailbreak iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad and iPod touch using GreenPois0n.
Think we’ve figured out a way to extend PwnageTool+limera1n+@comex hacks to untethered JBs for all future A4 firmwares :)Thanks Dev-team for hard work and the guarantee of having untethered jailbreaks for life time. So that Apple will not be able to patch them if it did not upgrade its A4's hardware. We did not catch more news but we let you informed with all immediate updates, Stay tuned.
For AppleTV 2G users, the goal is for PwnageTool to cover you by Funday/Sunday (but still very limited app capability)Of course and as known, PwnageTool will also jailbreak iPhone 3GS old bootrom and it's important for unlockers as it preserves the baseband and save Ultrasn0w carrier unlock. We'll be covering this, stay tuned!
Those reading between the lines: Yes SHAtter itself is tethered. @comex came up with a way to untether it on 4.1/3.2.2Another point to clarify, that Apple may convert the Greenpois0m jailbreak from untethered jailbreak to tethered jailbreak if it was able to patch the userland based method which discovered by Comex. So that the new Comex userland jailbreak tool will be for iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 3G mainly, and to re-untethered Greenpois0n jailbreak for iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G and iPad.
Is there ETA for comex's jailbreak for 3GS?Musclenerd replied:
something like that wouldn't be before official 4.2 is out (at the very least)For who asking about iOS 4.2, it will be released by November. We will wait impatiently for it. [via RedmondPie]
Again, major thanks to @comex for getting greenpois0n untethered.
Those reading between the lines: Yes SHAtter itself is tethered. @comex came up with a way to untether it on 4.1/3.2.2In case you don't know, it has been confirmed that the ETA (estimate to arrival) of Greenposi0n jailbreak on this Sunday October 10th, and it will hacktivate iPhone 4 & jailbreak 4th generation devices forever. We will keep you informed.
In the meantime, we’ve put @pod2g’s exploit into a beta version of PwnageTool to test the waters. The SHAtter exploit was enough to convince the iPod touch 4G to restore to our custom IPSW. The successful result is shown below! It’s all working: customized Preferences to show battery percentage, Cydia, root shell…the works!
Although PwnageTool was a useful first test of a full iPod 4G jailbreak via SHAtter, it’s really overkill compared to the faster tools being developed. Its main use in PwnageTool will be for those with iPhone4’s, to allow updates while preserving the baseband and ultrasn0w carrier unlock. In any event, this is another exciting time for iPhone and iPod touch users…the cat and mouse game continues!
@MuscleNerd so redsn0w supports iPod touch 2g mc? Or is it a typo on the blog?MuscleNerd replies:
@jonnyboywashere it does, but that ipt2g MC model will be a tethered JB at 4.1 until @comex releases a new userland exploitThis userland jailbreak from comex we already talked about when MuscleNerd confirmed that iOS 4.1 jailbreak coming from Comex. Then the talks changed when pod2g and p0sixninja came to the jailbreak scene, first, we published information about SHAtter exploit and USB based Greenpois0n jailbreak for iOS 4.1. But today, we can't decide who will jailbreak iOS 4.1 and we can't decide it's tethered or untethered. As usual we will keep you informed by any updates.
So much for my not-so-secret plan to break GameCenter! They’re capping my friend count at around 500 (as soon as I delete one, I get one new request)Basically, once you reach the limit (500 friends), Apple simply stop new requests but requests continues to arrive and get in the queue. Once you delete the 501st friend, you will immediately promoted by a new request that was done before in the queue. You will not be able to add the 502nd and 503rd friends. The question is, Are they told your Game box is full? or Do they think you're ignoring them?
That latest exploit from @pod2g confirmed to work beyond iPhone4…also on at least iPad and yesterday’s iPod4G tooOf course there's no ETA, but it's confirmation from MuscleNerd, You can read more about this exploit in our earlier post here. Also, as usual stay tuned and we will keep you informed by any information.
