New Untethered Userland iOS 4.1 Jailbreak On Its Way

May be we can call this HUGE especially when pod2g, the developer of SHAtter exploit, left the Chronic dev team and worked individually. Today, MuscleNerd has pretty much confirmed that Comex is still working on iOS 4.1 untethered userland jailbreak. After Redsn0w release yesterday to jailbreak iPhone 3G, and iPod touch 2G, someone has asked MuscleNerd if it support iPod touch 2G MC model as written on the blog. MuscleNerd answered him that it's supported but it's will be tethered until Comex release a new userland exploit.

Jonathan Kurtz asks MuscleNerd:

@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 exploit

This 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.

GreenPois0n.com Updated to Get Ready for Release?

I know that you are all looking forward to jailbreak iOS 4.1, so here's a piece of good news. Today's morning I navigated my browser to take a look on GreenPoison's site (http://greenpois0n.com) and I was surprised when I saw that they changed the site a bit. The old logo has been changed with a new one and no more wallpapers. Take a look on the new logo.

Here's the old logo, before the change:

So, it seems like the new jailbreak will be named GreenPois0n which works on SHAtter's exploit. The tethered / untethered status not announced yet, so don't ask me about this! All what we can conclude from this change that GreenPois0n jailbreak tool seems imminent, we will keep you informed about any updates or changes take place, Stay tuned!

GreenPois0n to Jailbreak iPhone 4, iOS 4.1?

Now, here’s an interesting piece of news coming from pod2g. Remember GreenPois0n jailbreak tool for iPad which was never released from p0sixninja, GreenPois0n will be back again to jailbreak iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G and iPad. Pod2g has hinted that he used the tool build by p0sixninja by running it on iPhone 4 and it works well.

Hey, @p0sixninja 's epic greenpois0n works well on iPhone 4G ! (need to work on the framebuffer code tho ! )

Greenpois0n jailbreak tool will be used as toolkit here alongside the latest bootrom exploit (SHAtter) by pod2g. This will save loads of time and cuts in jailbreak development of iOS 4.1 to half as Will Strafach points:

remember when we said greenpois0n would come to use later as a toolkit? using it to create this jailbreak is cutting our workload in half (or maybe more). that's why pod mentioned it.

It's not confirmed that the next jailbreak will be named GreenPois0n but at least the same code will be used to build the tool. Hackers are currently working hard to make the releases sooner than later, as usual, we will keep you informed by any updates about the tool.

SHAtter is a Tethered Jailbreak [CONFIRMED]

Yesterday we told you about SHAtter and it will jailbreak all existing devices forever as it's a bootrom based jailbreak which acts on the hardware of the device. But unfortunately, there's a semi-confirm floating on the web today. p0sixninja may be sending a message to tell people that SHAtter is a tethered jailbreak (i.e. you will be required to connect your iOS device to your computer on every reboot).

Someone asked him if SHAtter would jailbreak his girlfriend, p0sixninja answered the following:

yea but you gotta plug her everytime you wanna do it

According to the well-known iPhone hacker Vincet, they are working on doing making the jailbreak untethered but they will not success. Of course, we will keep you informed about any updates. [via Twitter]

SHAtter will Jailbreak ALL Existing iOS Devices Forever [Updated]

According to a new post on the iPhone wiki from the well-know iPhone hacker p0sixninja, reveals some information about the exploit (named SHAtter) discovered by him and pod2g. The information refers to a new bootrom based exploit which will make all current iOS devices always perform the jailbreak forever.

p0sixninja worked a lot for this vulnerability, then pod2g made a process to run the exploit on iOS 4.1 yesterday. SHAtter is the codename source for this exploit, this vulnerability acts on the hardware of the device, so Apple can't close this hole, only on the new devices.

All Apple devices produced before the release of this exploit will be free forever, including the newly released iPod touch 4G and the iPad. The next jailbreak may be tethered (not confirmed yet) which means you have to connect your device to your computer to be able to reboot it.

Anyway Apple loses the fight. As usual, we will keep you informed by any updates about this jailbreak that will frees all devices. [via Twitter]

Update 1: p0sixninja discarded the tweet and deleted SHAtter page from the wiki blog because the information was accidently misleading. Will Strafach updated his post to include more information and facts,

- We have not yet announced if this is tethered or untethered
- We have not yet announced details about the exploit
- Anything you read saying it is one of the above in definite terms is just speculation, again, we have not given official word about the tether status or any details regarding the exploit used.

Update 2: It seems like SHAtter confirmed to be tethered jailbreak, check my new post here for more information.
