Friday is Funday: the iOS 5.1.1 untethered jailbreak is coming tomorrow

By , May 24, 2012

As of this post, at about 4:45AM EST, it is 10:45AM in Amsterdam where the Hack In The Box conference is currently taking place. Just as pod2g alluded to in a previous post on his blog, it looks like the iOS 5.1.1 untethered jailbreak will be demonstrated live at the conference, along with its highly awaited released before the conference concludes.

The official Twitter account for the Hack In The Box Security Conference just sent out a tweet confirming “Jailbreak Live” will take place tomorrow, and they are offering special 1-day passes if you happen to be in the area and wish to watch history take place.

What time can you expect to see the untethered jailbreak released in your neck of the woods? We analyze the likely time for the release inside…

 

Since Amsterdam is 6 hours ahead of EST, and each day of the conference appears to be between 09:00~ and 18:00~ hours local time, the earliest we would see a release is at 3AM EST on Friday, May 25th. Interestingly enough, the official agenda for the conference lists actual times that members of the DevTeam and Chronic Dev Team are scheduled to present their work. The odd thing about the agenda, is that it lists the exploit as being for 5.0.1 instead of 5.1.1. This is likely a typo, unless the guys plan to talk about the exploits for the previous untethered jailbreak that happened back in January.

The agenda lists the following times for each presentation:

May 24th

  • 11:30: Evolution of iPhone Baseband Unlocks — MuscleNerd

May 25th

  • 11:30: Corona Jailbreak — Joshua Hill AKA @p0sixninja, Cyril AKA @pod2g, and Nikias Bassen AKA @pimskeks
  • 13:00: Absinthe — Joshua Hill AKA @p0sixninja, Cyril AKA @pod2g, David Wang AKA @planetbeing, and Nikias Bassen AKA @pimskeks

This means the Corona event will start at 5:30AM EST on Friday, May 25th, and the Absinthe event will follow shortly thereafter at 7:00 AM EST. It’s very possible that the jailbreak will be released sometime within that ballpark window. Basically, I’d definitely keep my eyes peeled on Friday morning if I were you.

#FridayIsFunday.

      whats the difference? Most adults are up by 8am in the US so i will have it the same time you do. The difference is i can enjoy mines all day and night while you will only have the evening. Cheers.

      5 pm on Saturday by my calculations… That’s for Melbourne (and Sydney.. And Brisbane and such..)

      • http://twitter.com/rickz97 Ricky

        just use your iphone to check them by using the world clock or create a meeting at 1130am and set the location of the meeting at amsterdam this will automatically convert the time to your local time. its that simple

      • http://twitter.com/Nhoggan Nick Hoggan

        By my calculations 1:00PM Amsterdam time is 9:00PM FRIDAY NIGHT Melbourne time.

        So if they drop the JB at the end of their presentation at 2:30 we should see Absinthe 2.0 by 10:30PM friday night (tonight!!!!). Not sure where you get 5PM Saturday from…????

    Will the server be able to adapt to so many jailbreaking once Absinthe 2.0 is released? Will it crash?

    • Anonymous

      It has happened during the last two jailbreaks.

  • http://twitter.com/JuiceBoxxxxx Hugo

    I guess now is good a time to update to 5.1.1 I can last one day with out a jailbreak surely lol

    • http://twitter.com/rickz97 Ricky

      if i were you i would download it now from the idb downloadpage and when jailbreak is out upgrade it(will not take a long time) and jailbreak it right away

      • http://twitter.com/JuiceBoxxxxx Hugo

        i already updated, saved all my blobs and cydia packages but you had a good idea didnt read until after…ugh

      • http://twitter.com/mgalicki Mike Galicki

        I upgraded to 5.1.1 this week just to see how my 4 phone was running without being jailbroken. Battery still drains way too fast and the phone still gets laggy after lots of use. So its not the cydia tweaks that are slowing things down or burning battery in my quick analysis.

    • naheed asif

      i have just done a fresh installation to iOS 5.1.1 and i’m ready for the jailbreak.

    • http://www.facebook.com/frank9000 Francesco Suarez

      just did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5.1.1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDdd

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Frank-Has-A-Crank/685810626 Frank Has A Crank

    i didnt get the idea, why i should be there at that time… if i dont want to jailbreak soon this time… am gonna wait till everything stabilized, in this case i guess i dont need to be there at time right?!

  • http://twitter.com/notoriousTEG tim

    jeff, it won’t be a typo. they’ll be talking about the a4 and below 5.0.x jb known as ‘corona’, then the a5 jb known as ‘absinthe’. if it were a typo, it wouldn’t happen twice. IMO, of course.

    I’m excited for this jb. first thing I’ll do is install swipeselection and password pilot! quickly followed by scrollingboard and intelliscreenx. love you long time dev team(s) + pod2g <3

    jeff, we will appreciate it if u could do a tutorial for restoring all cydia sources n tweaks…
    thanks

    • http://twitter.com/rickz97 Ricky

      and how to use the jailbreak too thx in advance

    • http://twitter.com/e420kush e420Kush

      I have never had any luck backing up my Cydia packages and restoring them. What does everyone use? I bought pkgbackup but it does not seem to work for shit, unless I just have not figured it out yet. But i followed the directions and still get nothing.

      • http://twitter.com/CrazyBraulz Whohasa Naim Naudays

        PackageBackup works for me and I have it linked up to my Dropbox account, also it seems to only back up free tweaks paid tweaks are easy to get through the installeble packages in manage account.

      • http://twitter.com/_zYx M.

        I always start from scratch as it never worked very well restoring all your cydia tweaks.

    So one more day, I wake up, and have a jailbreak waiting?! Sweet.

    Wonder how frustrated Apple gets when they see the surge of updates when a new JB comes out. ;)

    also for 4S??

    • Paul Flahan

      Yes

  • http://twitter.com/iKrill Antonio Santos

    Ha, if they release it in the second talk, or the first one, for me by the time I wake up (or if I don’t sleep waiting for the jailbreak) it’ll be out.

  • http://www.facebook.com/sovann.hean Sovann Hean

    I am so happy to wait you Absinthe!!!! Thanks all of you work hard!

    Will the windows version also be out on the same time?

    • Anonymous

      Let’s hope so, it’s shit how Windows users have always been last to get a release, like most jailbreakers own Mac’s or something … I find that very hard to believe.

      • http://twitter.com/_zYx M.

        I did my last Jailbreak from a mac os x installed on sony laptop :P It worked fine, unlike VMware mac os x…

    If I upgrade to 5.1.1, will I lose Spire?

    I’m currently on 5.0.1 and Siri works a treat, but I know @chpwn and Ryan Petrich have stopped working on Spire. Does anyone know if it will still work on 5.1.1?

    • http://twitter.com/InternDom Dom

      it may not be compatible, we’ll have to test it.

        Hmmmm. I want to update but I really don’t want to lose Siri. :o /

  • waleed LA

    Just one thing i wanna ask : Will SAM ticket work on updating to 5.1.1 (Preserved baseband)…..I am on 5.0.1 right now and its unlocked via SAM.
    Thanks =]

    • Felipe F. Araújo

      i’m in the same situation…

    • http://twitter.com/Fr0sT_RC1 Matt

      It’ll work as long as you continue to preserve the baseband. everyone who saved their SAM tickets before apple patched that up should be fine.

    Awesome.. Cant wait

  • http://twitter.com/e420kush e420Kush

    Will there be live coverage of this? Or at least a recorded video (I am sure there will be) ? I have gone to the Hack In The Box website but have found very little on media regarding this convention.

    THE JAILBREAK WILL BE GOOD FOR APPLE TV 3GENRATION?

    • http://twitter.com/Fr0sT_RC1 Matt

      yes. unless they also release a package via cydia to make it untethered, like they did for 5.0.1.
