Check out the most comprehensive jailbreaking coverage on the internet, including the latest news, apps, tweaks, and detailed tutorials about everything jailbreak.
Here is some good news for jailbreakers and unlockers waiting for the GreenPoison jailbreak, which should now come out anytime soon. According to tweet by GreenPois0n developer P0sixninja, the new jailbreak tool will be able to hacktivate the iPhone.
This is particularly interesting to those of you who don't have an official SIM card to activate the iPhone, which is a necessary step in being able to use the iPhone...
The forums and blogs are filling up quickly with the most common question out in the iPhone world, "Where is the 4.1 Jailbreak?'. The jailbreak was revealed when a widely known hacker, pod2g, posted the iBSS decryption keys for the iPhone 4.
The exploit used was codenamed SHAtter, and it is in the bootrom and can not be fixed due to the fact it resides in the hardware...
That didn't take long. A few days after demoing there iPod Touch 4G jailbreak, the Dev Team has now given us proof of a jailbreak for the new Apple TV that came out a couple days ago. It had been confirmed that the Apple TV could be jailbroken, but to be honest with you, I didn't expect it to come so quickly.
This Apple TV jailbreak takes advantage of the same SHAtter exploit used on the iPod 4G by restoring it to a custom IPSW using PwnageTool. Brilliant...
That's an interesting tweet that pod2g, the hacker would found out the SHAtter exploit, sent out a couple hours ago in reply to someone asking when we should expect to see GreenPois0n released. According to him, the long awaited GreenPois0n jailbreak for iOS 4.1 will be released in days.
A few days ago the Dev Team demoed a perfectly working PwnageTool jailbreak that took advantage of the SHAtter exploit and successfully jailbroke an iPod 4G. There is every reason to believe that the Chronic Dev Team is near completion here...
After showing off the SHAtter exploit jailbreaking an iPod 4G yesterday, the Dev Team updated their blog with some information related to the new Apple TV, which will reportedly ship with iOS 4.1. According to the Dev Team, SHAtter has been used to decrypt the new Apple TV keys, a a step necessary to a developing successful jailbreak method.
This is what the Dev Team has to say about it...
Folks, we just got one step closer to an official release of the iOS 4.1 jailbreak promised by the Chronic Dev Team thanks to the SHAtter exploit discovered by pod2g.
In a video posted on their blog today, the Dev Team showed off an iPod Touch 4G jailbroken with PwnageTool. The Dev Team was able to use the SHAtter exploit to install a custom firmware on the iPod Touch 4G, and was successful in getting the basics covered, such as Cydia, customized preferences, root access, etc...
Apple just released the first update to iTunes 10 with this version 10.0.1. This is a just a minor update that fixes the usual bugs but also brings Ping to the sidebar. The Ping Sidebar basically gives you a quick glance at your Ping activity. Nothing earth shattering here.
It's worth noting that iTunes 10.0.1 is safe for jailbroken iPhones. More info about the update below...
This is not the complete title I wanted to use for this post. I wanted to say something like "Sn0wBreeze is Out - Who Cares?" but I thought it would have been insulting to iH8Sn0w who probably spent hours working on this new jailbreak.
I've never been a big fan of non-official jailbreaks (and by this I mean not endorsed by the Dev Team) because they come with tons of restrictions, and in the end very few people can actually use the jailbreak. So what's up with Sn0wBreeze?
This morning we reported that the Dev Team had released RedSn0w 0.9.6 beta 1 and that this tool could be used to jailbreak an iPhone 3G running iOS 4.1.
MuscleNerd confirmed earlier today that this version of RedSn0w can also be used to jailbreak iOS 4.2 beta on an iPhone 3G, but this doesn't come without risks as they are many bugs...
This step by step guide and tutorial will show you how to use RedSn0w 0.9.6 Beta 1 to jailbreak your iPhone 3G iOS 4.1. So far, this only works for the iPhone 3G and the iPod Touch 2G, and is a Mac only tool (although a Windows version is coming).
Before we start the tutorial, make sure you read and understand this. Once you have read this article through, come back here and let's work on jailbreaking your iPhone 3G iOS 4.1 with RedSn0w...
The Dev Team released RedSn0w 0.9.6 Beta 1 a few hours ago. This latest update to the popular jailbreak tool will only work with the iPhone 3G iOS 4.1 and iPod Touch 2G.
According to the Dev Team, RedSn0w 0.9.6 Beta 1 uses the same pwnage2 DFU-mode exploit that has been around for a couple years. It does not use the SHAtter exploit discovered by pod2g, so there is nothing really new here...
About 2 weeks ago we told you that Rock Your Phone had been acquired by Cydia. While I wasn't very excited about it, there was nothing I could do but wait to see Rock die slowly.
And the day has come. Today Rock Your Phone is dead. I just updated Rock via Cydia and all I can see now when launching the app is this...
