JailbreakMe.com Sold! Jailbreaks.ME to Host Saffron iOS 4.3.3 Jailbreak

Unable to jailbreak from JailbreakMe.com? Well, it’s because Jailbreakme.com has been sold. The domain is currently hosting "Thank you Steve Jobs" picture instead of iOS 4.3.3 jailbreak code. It’s preventing many users from jailbreaking their devices.

JailbreakMe.com was appeared to have been put up for sale at GoDaddy auctions back in July. It was then revealed that, comex, the JailbreakMe 2.0 & 3.0 developer didn’t own the domain. It, instead, belonged to someone else. Apparently, it’s owner has now sold it. As stated by MuscleNerd:

It’s sad @ConceitedApps sold out jailbreakme.com for $$. Luckily we have jailbreaks.me and won’t ever sell out.

@comex @ConceitedApps It looks like that domain has been sold :( But we own jailbreaks.me and won’t resell it — ever

Earlier, comex had requested @ConceitedApps to remove the "Thank You Steve Jobs" image as it was preventing people from jailbreaking:

@ConceitedApps Can you please remove "Thank You, Steve Jobs" from jailbreakme.com? It is preventing people from jailbreaking. Thanks.

MuscleNerd has also confirmed that Jailbreaks.me will now host the saffron code:

It’s sad @ConceitedApps sold out jailbreakme.com for $$. Luckily we have jailbreaks.me and won’t ever sell out.

RIP JailbreakMe.com

JailbreakMe Dev Comex Hired by Apple for Internship

Well known iOS jailbreak dev, Comex has joined Apple as an intern. As he revealed, comex will be working as intern at Apple:

So, the week after next I will be starting an internship with Apple.

Thanks for the congratulations everyone; I was expecting a more negative response :)

Nickolas Allegra

Nickolas Allegra, who’s known as comex in jailbreak community, has been one prominent figure having released 3 tools to jailbreak iOS:

Each of these jailbreak tools was patiently awaited at the time of release. The latest of all, JailbreakMe 3, helped jailbreak 1 million devices in just 24 hours. Comex was profiled by Forbes earlier this month and also revealed that he was looking for internship. So, it might have helped comex’s cause in getting him an internship at Apple.

This is not the first time that a member of jailbreak community has been hired by a company. Facebook hired popular hacker George Hotz aka GeoHot to get him work on a ‘secret’ project. Hotz is popular for Blackra1n, Blacksn0w, Limera1n and other jailbreak tools for iOS. Future of JailbreakMe, or any future jailbreak tools from comex, looks uncertain now.

JailbreakMe: 1 Million Jailbreaks in 24 Hours

On July 7, 2011, in Hacks, by TechAdmin

One day after it was released, JailbreakMe 3.0 has helped 1,000,000 people jailbreak iOS 4.3.3 on their devices. That’s 1 million jailbreaks in 24 hours with JailbreakMe. As chpwn, one of the iPhone hackers, tweeted:

Just passed 1,000,000 jailbreaks from jailbreakme.com — be sure to share a link with your friends while it’s still available!

JailbreakMe 3.0 was released yesterday with support for iPad 2 4.3.3 jailbreak. It also works on all other devices running iOS 4.3.3 while support for earlier version of iOS could be added in near future. It’s second jailbreak of its kind from comex that allows users to install Cydia without connecting their devices to the PC and restoring the modified IPSW. That’s why its touted as easiest jailbreak ever, and fastest as well. You just have to visit jailbreakme.com on the device that you want to jailbreak and it will show you the option to install Cydia, which will install like an app from the App Store installs. Wonderfully done indeed, and equally appreciated by users. 1 million JailbreakMe jailbreaks within first 24 hours tells just how successful it has been.

In case you needed any help jailbreaking, we posted a JailbreakMe tutorial yesterday that could be helpful.

We all knew that JailbreakMe was real close to release especially after the leaked beta. This leaked conversation further strengthens the sentiment that JailbreakMe could actually be released earlier than planned.

Comex’s 2nd browser based jailbreak, JailbreakMe 3.0 Saffron, has been center of attention of jailbreak community for last few days since a beta version got leaked and was later pulled. It didn’t stop there as the news spread that the jailbreakme.com was for sale. And now this leaked conversation has clear hints on JBMe 3.0 ETA. Let’s hope it sees the release soon now as we can expect Apple to fix the hole in Safari soon, with iOS 4.3.4 release.

ryanlobbins.com/Saiz/saffron/ iPad_4.3_8F191.pdf Not Opening?

On July 2, 2011, in Hacks, by TechAdmin

As you know, iPad 2 jailbreak has been leaked via a beta tester. If the leaked URL http://ryanlobbins.com/Saiz/saffron/iPad_4.3_8F191.pdf is not opening for you, it may be due to server overload. Whatever be the reason, your only option for now is to wait since there are no mirror URLs available.

We would still advise you to wait for official release from Comex instead of going for the leaked build. It’s very likely that comex will release JailbreakMe very soon since he’s been testing it out for quite some time.

JailbreakMe is browser based jailbreak that lets you jailbreak your device without connecting your device to the Computer.

Update: iPad 2 Jailbreak has been pulled by the beta tester who uploaded it. It was fun while it lasted.

Comex Untethered Jailbreak 4.3.1 Exploit Leaked

On March 29, 2011, in News, by TechAdmin

Call it a surprise or a leak, the untethered jailbreak 4.3.1 exploit that comex was in possession of has been patched by Apple in iOS 4.3.1. In a series of tweets, comex revealed that the exploit was there from iOS 4.0.2 up till iOS 4.3 but was “magically” patched by Apple in recently released iOS 4.3.1. Here’s what he said:

As noticed by @0naj, my kernel exploit was fixed in 4.3.1.

I try not to be paranoid, but it is really hard to explain this as anything but a leak.

The funny thing is that my "new" kernel exploit is actually the kernel exploit used by JailbreakMe 2.0. It was never properly fixed.

It stayed there from 4.0.2 through 4.3, but was magically found in time for 4.3.1.

With this goes the hope for JailbreakMe 3.0 kind of jailbreak for iOS 4.3.1. Comex had shown off iPad 2 iOS 4.3 jailbreak on video soon after iPad 2 went on sale. Now all eyes are on Stefan as he’s also in possession of untethered 4.3.1 jailbreak exploit and has posted iOS 4.3.1 untethered jailbreak video recently. As for now, you can get tethered jailbreak on iOS 4.3.1 using following guides:
