As promised, the infamous Dev Team has just released its CLI jailbreak which is compatible with both the iPhone 4S and the iPad 2. It's still for Mac users only, but it does provide an alternative to the Absinthe app.
We must warn you though that this isn't your typical jailbreak software. CLI stands for Command Line Interface, meaning using it isn't as easy as clicking the "jailbreak" button. It's definitely not for the feint of heart...
As most of you know by now, the A5 jailbreak was finally released this morning via Chronic Dev Team's Absinthe app. While we haven't had any issues ourselves with the software, some folks have been experiencing problems.
The reason for that is that the dedicated website, which is used in the jailbreaking process, is constantly crashing under the millions of users trying to jailbreak. So the Chronic Dev Team has released an update to fix that...
It's here! The iPhone 4S and iPad 2 untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 was just released after months of anticipation, and months of hard work by pod2g and the rest of the leaders in the jailbreak community.
A huge thanks is owed to the dream team of hackers including pod2g, p0sixninja, MuscleNerd, planetbeing, Saurik, and no-doubt countless others.
Take a look inside for more details surrounding this groundbreaking moment...
Could the tension get any higher than that? A few hours after iOS hackers working on the jailbreak for iPhone 4S and iPad 2 announced that the release was imminent, we know have more details coming directly from pod2g.
In a blog post, the French hacker responsible for the upcoming jailbreak for A5 devices revealed the name of the tool that will be released by the Chronic Dev Team: Absinthe...
A new Apple patent application to be released by the United States Patent and Trademark Office suggest that our future MacBooks, iPhones, iPods and iPads could get even thinner thanks to improved batteries.
When building a portable device one of the most important parts is the battery. Too small and your device will not have enough power to last a reasonable length of time. Too big and you risk making the device too large as well as making it unnecessarily heavy.
This new patent application shows that Apple is well aware of the need for improved battery technology, and it seems it might be on to something...
We know. We're as eager for the A5 jailbreak to drop as you guys are. Probably more. But even though we've been saying it for weeks now, we think we're extremely close to a public release.
And The Dev Team confirms that in its new blog post entitled "Corona A5 jailbreak nearly ready to pop!" The post provides some important information regarding the highly-anticipated exploit...
Earlier this week, iH8sn0w released a major update to his popular jailbreak utility, Sn0wBreeze. Among the app's new features were support for older firmware (as old as 3.1.3) and pod2g's iOS 5.0.1 untether.
For the most part, the update has received positive feedback. But for some folks, particularly those with an iPhone 3G trying to flash over a custom iPad baseband, there's been a few notable issues. Enter Sn0wBreeze 2.9.1...
We know. We've been telling you the same thing for the last three weeks now, but it seems that this iPhone 4S and iPad 2 jailbreak is right around the corner, as Chronic Dev Team frontman P0sixNinja just tweeted that it shouldn't take much longer now.
Of course, we've heard that before. Several times. But something tells me, this time it's for good...
We've seen Apple introduce some pretty cool applications this morning during its education event. iBooks 2 looks like a great place to download interactive digital textbooks, and iBooks Author seems like a great tool for creating them.
But Apple didn't stop there. The company wanted to make it easier for teachers to bring "everything you need to take a class" to the iOS ecosystem. And it looks like they've done it with the new iTunes U application...
For those of you wondering whether or not iBooks 2 works on the iPhone or iPod touch, the answer is yes, with a catch.
You can update your current app to iBooks 2.0, but you still cannot download textbooks without an iPad. We also advise jailbreakers to stay away from the latest iBooks update...
