GeoHot to Jailbreak WP7 (Windows Phone 7)?

Posted by | News | No Comments

Will GeoHot jailbreak WP7? There’s a hint! Impressed with how Microsoft dealt with WP7 jailbreak devs, GeoHot wrote on his official website:

perhaps a more appropriate way to deal with jailbreakers
I’m going out to buy a Windows 7 phone

It should be noted that GeoHot has been sued by Sony over PS3 jailbreak so its quite evident how he liked it when Microsoft invited Windows Phone 7 jailbreak developers to Redmond to discuss exploits in its WP7 platform. They were then presented with oversized t-shirts that had a message printed over it saying “I was the first to jailbreak Windows Phone 7, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt”. Here’s the shirt:

WP7 Jailbreak

Apple also choses to fight the jailbreak devs as it had asked Federal Government to stop jailbreaking. Let’s see if we get to see GeoHot to jailbreak Windows Phone 7 devices.

Will SHAtter or Limera1n Jailbreak Verizon iPhone 4 4.2.5 iOS?

Posted by | Mobiles | No Comments

Soon after announcement of Verizon iPhone 4, many of you would be wondering whether limera1n exploit will jailbreak Verizon iPhone 4 and will there be jailbreak for iOS 4.2.5. While there can be no certain point unless the VZW iPhone is released on February 10, however, there is every possibility that limera1n exploit may not work. Following points are crucial in this regard:

New Hardware:

Verizon iPhone comes with hardware changes. There’s new antenna, revised hardware buttons and there’s possibility that Apple may have patched the limera1n exploit, that was introduced by GeoHot in October 2010.

iOS 4.2.5:

To add support for HotSpot, Verizon iPhone runs on updated iOS 4.2.5. Currently there’s no untethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak, redsn0w 0.9.7 beta 6 offers a workaround that required iOS 4.2 Beta 3 IPSW. Another iOS update could be harder to crack.

We’ll have to wait and see whether any of limera1n or SHAtter exploit works to jailbreak VZW iPhone 4 iOS 4.2.5.

GeoHot RubySn0w Unlock

Posted by | News | No Comments

RubySn0w could be the tool that will unlock iPhone 5 and current iPhone versions with latest iOS. Once you get rubyra1n.com, rubysn0w is comparatively easy guessing. Blackra1n had blacksn0w, limera1n had limesn0w so rubyra1n was bound to have rubysn0w.

The rubysn0w whois record proves so:

GeoHot’s RubyRa1n Jailbreak for iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch

Posted by | Hacks | No Comments

GeoHot’s Rubyra1n jailbreak could be the next in line of jailbreak tools developed by GeoHot. If so, the rubyra1n jailbreak for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch will extend the blackra1n and limera1n jailbreak tools developed by the famed iPhone hacker. There’s enough evidence to believe that:

  • The domain rubyra1n.com belongs to GeoHot (as revealed by rubyra1n.com whois record)
  • Domain was registered same day when limera1n.com was registered (March 27, 2010)

rubyra1n-jailbreak-geohot

It could be the case that GeoHot might have purchased 2 domains and decided to name the iPhone 4 4.1 jailbreak as limera1n (and not rubyra1n). There is still no evidence of any new exploits found but the next generation iOS devices’ jailbreak gets a name and that’s all about it for now.
