iOS 5 is still what many would consider a virgin and already its defenses have been compromised by none other than the iPhone Dev-Team, hackers extraordinaire. Before you get too excited there a few things worth stressing. First and foremost, the new iOS 5 jailbreak is tethered-only for now. Second: The iPad 2 and iPhone 4S are not supported. Still, for an iOS release that’s barely 12 hours old getting at least some hacked functionality is something, isn’t...
If the above tweet by @MuscleNerd is any indicator of our wait time for an iOS 4.3.1 untethered jailbreak, we’re glad to say our wait time could be coming to an end. Since we can’t rely on SHAtter exploits anymore, we’ll have to keep our eyes peeled for the next latest and greatest hardware-based exploit while making due with mere software ones for the time being. Let’s hope the last few bugs with the 4.3.1 jailbreak get patched sooner rather than...
The Chronic Dev Team have shown us a sweet arse demo on the twitters that shows an 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak. This is something that was given as a Christmas present ETA, but with no luck. So here we are – a few weeks later and we at least get a demo. This is a great effort from @0naj, @p0sixninja and @pod2g. And if you’ve been following the tweets you’ll know there is a minor bug where the WiFi icon doesn’t show up. That’s not such a big bug,...
It used to be a game of cat and mouse — Apple would release an update, jailbreakers would crack it a few weeks later, with Apple patching it yet again a few weeks after that. It was a back and forth game that never got old. These days however, jailbreaking is a much simpler process. Instead of waiting weeks to months to get our hands on the underlying code of a particular iOS device, said iDevices are now jailbroken before they’re even released. Infamous iOS...
Those of you wanting to jailbreak your iPhone 4 on the latest iOS 4.1 and preserve your unlock/baseband have but a few more days left of waiting. The Dev-Team has released the image above, teasing us with the impending release. The Limera1n-powered exploit is currently Mac Windows only. So Mac users are surely chomping at the bit for some jailbreak action. Meanwhile, hacker iH8sn0w has already confirmed that Sn0wbreeze is close to completion meaning unlocks will once...
