If you’re like some of us here at GS and anxiously awaiting the highly anticipated Absinthe 2.0/iOS 5.1.1 untethered jailbreak, you have less than 24 hours left. A recent tweet from the @HITBsecConf twitter account for said conference says that on Friday, May 25th, pod2g and friends will be showing off a live demonstration of the new jailbreak, with a public release hitting the interwebs (reportedly) shortly thereafter. The event is kicking off at 11:30am CET (5:30am...

Good news. We’ve found a way through for iPod 3G and iPhone 3Gs users. Upcoming jailbreak will be compatible. — pod2g (@pod2g) May 18, 2012 A few days ago we reported that infamous jailbreak hacker, pod2g, had found a way to jailbreak the latest versions of iOS (5.1.1) on pretty much all devices. The only devices that weren’t working at the time included the Apple TV 3, 3rd-gen iPod Touch and iPhone 3GS. Today we can thankfully scratch the latter two off...

Sad news. Just tested the untether on an iPod 3G. The kernel vulnerability don’t happen on this one. I think iPhone 3Gs is out too. — pod2g (@pod2g) May 14, 2012 According to a tweet by infamous iOS hacker/jailbreaker, pod2g, the latest untether exploit he’s working on for an eventual (assumed) iOS 5.1(.x) jailbreak does not work on the 3rd-gen iPod Touch. He also speculates that the iPhone 3GS could be out too. A post-iOS 5.1 untether jailbreak (more-so...

AT&T may have made (easily) accessing root level on your One X a burden, but it’s far from an outright ban. As with all great things mobile, XDA exists to make sure mobile enthusiasts always have the last say with their device. While the bootloader on AT&T’s HTC One X is still in an unlocked state, the new root hack available over at XDA in this thread will at least allow root level access. Removing things like AT&T’s stock crap apps and...

Heya! My iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1 is now untethered — pod2g (@pod2g) May 3, 2012 An official iOS 5.1 unether is a little bit closer today after a new tweet by infamous iOS hacker/jailbreaker, @pod2g. The hacker claims to have an iPhone 4 untether jailbreak up and running. Success! So how soon until you can slap it on your iPhone 4? A while(ish). Going from a usable untether that a hacker uses to an end user package/program that is mostly seamless and generally free...

News: aproductive week-end. Found 2 big vulnerabilities. 1 kernel land and 1 root land. — pod2g (@pod2g) April 30, 2012 Even though Apple has dramatically opened up (relatively of course) iOS since the days of iPhone OS 1.0, there are still a handful of legitimate reasons to enjoy jailbreaking your iOS device.
