GreenPois0n to Initiate Shiny Jailbreaking Era

Guest Author ∙ Updated January 29, 2016

The “Fun Day” is arriving as Chronic Dev Team is working hard to release their first ever all iDevices jailbreak tool named GreenPois0n. It took them a while to release the Greenpois0n jailbreak as it was announced earlier this year but they were never able to push it out as promised.

Chronic Dev Team and their Greenpois0n were even blamed to be fake as they accepted donations but never made a release. Some days ago, they made a strike by revealing a new bootrom exploit named SHAtter Exploit. This achievement means that iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G, and iPad are jailbroken for life until Apple introduces hardware change in the devices by replacing the bootrom.

HDR Capabilities Coming to Your Jailbroken iPhone 3G & iPhone 3GS

Guest Author ∙ September 11, 2010

So were you a bit annoyed when Steve Jobs introduced the new HDR features of iOS 4.1 and realized it wouldn't apply to your iPhone 3G or 3GS? Well stop being annoyed because apparently there will be a jailbreak app for that.

BGR highlighted a tweet from iOS developer Will Strafach that states the following:

Unofficial Version of PwnageTool Supposedly Jailbreaks iPhone 3GS iOS 4.1

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

An unofficial version of PwnageTool is going around the interwebs. This tool will supposedly jailbreak the iPhone 3GS running iOS 4.1. Needless to say that I do not recommend using this since it hasn't been approved by the Dev Team. However this method seems to work according to comments on iSpazio site (in Italian, mind you).

As usual with these crappy releases though, you have to fit in the crazy pre-requisites:

How to Update Your iPhone to iOS 4.1 Without Updating the Baseband

Sébastien Page ∙ September 9, 2010

iOS 4.1 came out a couple days ago, and with it came a new baseband update, going from version 01.59.00 to 02.10.04. The baseband is a critical part of the iPhone unlock and UltraSn0w isn't currently compatible with baseband 02.10.04.

Many people are eager to update to iOS 4.1 and try the new features that come with it. Obviously if you rely on a jailbreak/unlock, you should hold on to it. If you don't care about unlocking options at the time but you think you might in the near future, then updating to iOS 4.1 while preserving your baseband is your best bet...

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

Sébastien Page ∙ September 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...
