Could be Possible to Jailbreak iPod Touch 4G with Future iOS 4.1 Jailbreak Release

Posted by | News | No Comments

Next userland jailbreak for iOS 4.1 could possibly jailbreak iPod Touch 4G as well. The exploits, reportedly, in possession of comex might work for iPod Touch 4G jailbreak as the newly launched iTouch 4G will run iOS 4.1 which could be jailbreakable with a tool like JailbreakMe or a spirit-like tool. It’s not certain though as it’s a new hardware and finding exploits might be difficult. There’s a hope though but it’s something that time will tell. As for now, iOS 4.0.2 is not jailbreakable as it includes the fix to the security hole in Safari browser that was used by JailbreakMe.

iOS 4.1 Jailbreak Soon, Based on Comex Userland Jailbreak Exploit

Posted by | News | One Comment

Rejoice jailbreakers, you could soon get to jailbreak iOS 4.1. Comex, the developer behind Spirit Jailbreak and JailbreakMe tools is in possession of the userland exploit that will jailbreak iOS 4.1. So, you would be able to jailbreak iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G. It could possibly jailbreak iPod Touch 4G as well. The plans for future userland jailbreak were revealed by MuscleNerd while replying to a tweet. MusclNerd said:

@TechXero it’ll be userland JB if @comex can pull trifecta. Else, wait for new HW cycle (also remember: hole!=exploit)

in reply to:

@MuscleNerd I know tons already asked this but is the iOS4.1 gonna be a userland jailbreak as usual or will redsn0w be making a comeback?

There is no release date as expected but it could be soon after iOS 4.1 release goes public in couple of days. Currently iOS 4.1 GM is available to developers for download.

PwnageTool to Jailbreak iOS 4.0.2 on iPhone 3GS & 3G

Posted by | Hacks | One Comment

KaatjeNL has had success to jailbreak iPhone 3GS Old Bootrom on iOS 4.0.2 and is likely to release the PwnageTool Bundles shortly. According to her, she not only succeeded to jailbreak iOS 4.0.2 running but was also able to put ultrasn0w 1.0 to work to unlock iPhone 3GS. She posted a twitter update with couple of images of jailbroken iPhone 3GS:

“we haz success! 3GS old bootrom pwned with 4.0.2 and ultrasn0w is working”

iPhone 3GS Jailbroken

Cydia on iPhone 3GS

Apple have fixed the userland exploit that enabled JailbreakMe to jailbreak iPhone 4 and 3GS. Redsn0w and PwnageTool, however use bootrom exploit that still works for iPhone 3G, old bootrom iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 2G. Those with iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS will lose their jailbreak once they update to iOS 4.0.2 as there is no known bootrom exploit in modern iDevices. Things are ideal for iPhone 3GS old bootrom users who can upgrade to iOS 4.0.2 and can still jailbreak.

KaatjNL’s exploit is not out yet but will make its way out once its clears the tests. Stay tuned.

JailbreakMe Blank Background [PurpleScreen Error]

Posted by | Hacks | No Comments

Comex has issued a statement indicating the reason why the users are getting blank background (PurpleScreen Error). Here is what he had to say:

Here is one of the ways in which I fail: There is a check in the code run after the exploit that you are actually on jailbreakme.com; if you’re not, it just silently fails. This was intended as a slight deterrent to people copying the code and using it for more malicious purposes. However, after the server reshuffle, it was actually being hosted on http://www.jailbreakme.com…

So for a period of time it wasn’t working, period– you would be stuck on the purple screen– and then saurik realized this (while I was asleep) and switched back to an old version which didn’t have this issue but also didn’t have, e.g., the iPad patch.

The moral of the story: if it didn’t work for any reason, reboot (rebooting, or otherwise restarting Safari, is important) and try again, and blame me for having horrible testing practices.

So if you were having problems to jailbreak iPad with JailbreakMe, try now. If you still face problems, try with the instructions posted here. It should be fixed.
