Future iOS 4.1 Jailbreak Will Work for iPhone 4, iPad, and New iTouch

by Sebastien on Sep 9, 2010

Yesterday we reported about the new exploit found by pod2g, and today, MuscleNerd confirmed that it will work with the iPhone 4, the iPad and the new iPod Touch.

This bootrom exploit will require a hardware fix for Apple to prevent future jailbreaks. If you have an iPhone 4 now, that means you’d potentially be able to jailbreak it, no matter what iOS you install on it in the future. Of course at this point it’s just theories… Read More

Hacker Finds New Exploit to Jailbreak iOS 4.1

by Sebastien on Sep 8, 2010

Well well well. Here are some good news coming from MuscleNerd and co about a new exploit found by a hacker that goes by the name of pod2g. Apparently, pod2g found a bootrom exploit in iOS 4.0.1.

Why should we care about 4.0.1, I hear you saying? Since it’s a bootrom exploit, it means Apple cannot patch the exploit with a software update. The only way to patch the hole would require a hardware modification. In other words, Apple won’t be able to prevent us from jailbreaking until the iPhone 5 comes out. Read More

iOS 4.1 is supposed to ship any minute now. While a new firmware update is always a good thing for those of you who don’t jailbreak/unlock, it’s a pretty risky move for those of you who do.

No iOS 4.1 Jailbreak from Comex?

by Sebastien on Sep 7, 2010

That’s an interesting tweet that Comex sent out earlier today in reply to someone offering him to donate money when he releases a jailbreak for iOS 4.1. While we were set to believe that Comex would be on top of the iOS 4.1 jailbreak, it seems that we should hold our excitement.

I do believe Comex is working on a 4.1 jailbreak. And if he’s not, the tone of his tweet might suggest that someone else has a potential exploit for iOS 4.1 and that indeed the jailbreak will not come from him. Read More

Will You Upgrade Your iPhone to iOS 4.1?

by Guest Author on Sep 6, 2010

This week Apple will release the iOS version 4.1 for the iPhone. If our calculations are correct the newest version of the mobile operating system will be hitting iTunes on Wednesday, September 8th.

The last couple of updates from Apple haven’t been anything to write home about. Version 4.0.1 simply addressed the algorithm while the antenna issue was flooding the news wire. After that, version 4.0.2 basically just patched up a security issue that Apple left exposed. As far as actual tangible features both refreshes were pretty dull at best… Read More
