iOS 4.3.1 Already Jailbroken With PwnageTool 4.2 [Tethered]

Alex Heath ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

The latest build of iOS has already been jailbroken! Thanks to the work of DjayB6 on the 4.3.1 jailbreak bundle and Universal Ramdisk Fixer, Apple's newest version of iOS has already got the jailbreak treatment.

PwnageTool 4.2 can be used to perform a tethered jailbreak for 4.3.1. This jailbreak method is not for the faint of heart, and is by no means considered a "stable" release for jailbreakers.

You will need several tools to perform a successful jailbreak of 4.3.1, and we have yet to hear about a stable untethered solution...

TinyUmbrella Updated for iOS 4.3.1 Support

Guest Author ∙ March 26, 2011

Following Apple's official release of iOS 4.3.1 yesterday, notcom has updated TinyUmbrella to support the latest version of iOS.

TinyUmbrella version 4.30.05 supports iOS 4.3.1 for all iDevices. Compatibility excludes the Verizon iPhone 4, since Apple has yet to release iOS 4.3.x for the Verizon iPhone.

As a reminder, to save your SHSH blobs, simply connect your iDevice via USB to your computer, launch TinyUmbrella, and click the “Save SHSH” button.

Pwn2Own Safari Exploit Not Fixed in iOS 4.3.1, Could Mean Return of JailbreakMe

Alex Heath ∙ March 26, 2011

Charlie Miller, a security expert who managed to jailbreak iOS 4.3 during the Pwn2Own hacking contest, has revealed an interesting piece of information about 4.3.1. According to Mr. Miller, the Safari exploit uncovered at Pwn2Own is still un-patched in Apple's latest build of iOS.

An official jailbreak has yet to be released for 4.3.1, but the fact that this obvious exploit still exists points to the possibility of a jailbreak solution similar to JailbreakMe. There is no concrete evidence that this bug will be used in a jailbreak tool for iOS 4.3.1...

Apple Really Doesn’t Want You to Use Cydia in Their Stores

Sébastien Page ∙ March 26, 2011

If you connect to an Apple Store wifi network and try to go to Cydia, you'll get a nice little surprise. Instead of loading Cydia as it is supposed to do, you will be redirected to Apple's own website.

I think it's kind of a funny way for Apple to let you know they're watching you and won't let you pwn them in their own store...

Apparently People Stand in Line for the iPad 2 Everywhere

Cody Lee ∙ March 26, 2011

When I wrote about my disappointing 3 hour wait in line for an iPad 2 I knew my time was low. But I had no idea how microscopic it was compared to other Apple fanatics.

The iPad 2 went on sale in 25 countries around the world yesterday and the amount of people that turned out was astonishing. BGR is reporting that people were waiting as long as 53 hours prior to yesterday's launch in Sydney, Australia.

In addition, similar lines were reported across the globe including Germany, The Netherlands, and Canada. In fact, a BGR reader sent in a video of one of the lines at Toronto Eaton Centre in Canada, at around 9:30 a.m. yesterday.

Those who remember the U.S. iPad 2 launch will recall that they did not go on sale until 5:00 p.m. We posted the video below and it's really worth watching, I couldn't believe how far back the line went. It's at least worth watching through the first minute ;p.

Verizon iPhone User Statistics May Surprise You

Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 3, 2018

From its inception, the Verizon iPhone was destined to be in the spotlight. By the time the actual announcement had been made, rumors had been flying around tech blogs for years about the mystical CDMA iPhone.

Whether publicity is good or bad, it's still publicity. From the disappointing launch to the poor download speeds, Verizon's version of Apple's smart phone juggernaut has maintained our attention. But just how successful has the iPhone been for Big Red this year?

Apple Adds Another “If You Don’t Have an iPhone” Ad to the Lineup

Cody Lee ∙ Updated February 1, 2018

Apple is certainly well known and respected for its marketing abilities. From the "I'm a Mac" spots to the iPhone and iPad commercials, the Cupertino juggernaut doesn't seem to miss a beat in making hit commercials. Just a day after we showed you the Apple ad highlighting Apple's Game Center, we've caught another one.

This would be the fifth ad in the "If You Don't Have an iPhone" series since its debut last week. The new ad, titled "Retina," focuses on the much talked about, high resolution retina display introduced on the iPhone 4...

Magic Fingers Gives Your iPhone New Multi-Touch Gestures

Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 3, 2018

It appears that those of you who missed out on the hidden multi-touch gestures in iOS 4.3 GM are in luck. Without a lot of effort, you too can have the ability to close down your applications with a swipe of your fingers.

Enter Magic Fingers, a new tweak released yesterday in Cydia that will allow you to exit the current app you're in by touching your iPhone with multiple fingers. The application doesn't cost anything to download, but since it is in Cydia you must be jailbroken to get it...

iPad 2 Jailbreak Exploit is Most likely Not Patched by Apple

Cody Lee ∙ Updated January 30, 2016

When we told you about Comex's jailbreak, we warned you about ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization). It was one of the new security measures Apple implemented into iOS to thwart off jailbreakers, and was expected to delay a jailbreak release for quite some time.

Well Comex later commented that while he had an exploit that worked, he knew 4.3.1 would release very soon, and did not want to risk Apple patching his exploit with the new firmware. Thus he would wait until that release, which happened earlier today, to release a jailbreak solution.

Those worried that Apple somehow disabled the jailbreak in the update need not worry. Popular jailbreak spokesman MuscleNerd, confirmed via twitter today that it didn't look like Apple fixed the glitch that Comex used in his hacking of the iPad 2.

Of course he also warns to hold off on updating to 4.3.1 until things are confirmed and stable. It has also been confirmed that Comex's exploit is a 'userland' jailbreak, which means it can be done straight off the iDevice. Those who remember the 'Spirit' jailbreak series remember jailbreaking was as easy as typing jailbreakme.com into Safari.

Things are looking good for an official jailbreak release for the iPad 2 and other iDevices with iOS 4.3.1. Stay tuned to ziPadblog for the latest in jailbreak info.

Does anyone have an iPad 2 and is excited to jailbreak? Tell us in the comments below.

‘Color Mail Labels’ Makes Your Unified Email Inbox Easier to Read

Jeff Benjamin ∙ March 26, 2011

iOS 4.0's release seems like an eternity ago, but it's still one of my favorite iOS updates ever due to the unified email box.

The unified email box is a method to view all of your email in one spot; a culmination of all of your email accounts if you will.

But there is one standing issue that comes from having all of your email bunched together in one box -- it's difficult to tell where the email originated.

Wouldn't it be great if it were easier to discern which emails came from which account? That's where Color Mail Labels comes in…
