The Next BIG Jailbreak Is Coming....How Soon?


Submitted by Kevmau5; May 21, 2012


So we know the devices that are supported within the next Untethered Jailbreak, and now we have some good information that you won't want to miss about the tool itself.  Is the release coming soon?  Keep reading to find out when you will have the latest jailbreak...

Soon the tool should be made public. Very soon according to pod2g who said "Thanks to awesome work of and , we're near ready for a release. Now it's a matter of days." This indicates to me that they are really just waiting for the Hack In The Box conference to finish or their turn to speak.

There's a little FAQ that was posted by musclenerd highlighting some key goings on between the teams. One of them was Planetbeing the savior of the iPhone 3G[S] and iPod 3rd Gen devices.   He stepped in to offer 2 old exploits that can be used for these devices that will allow untethered.

I'm assuming that, like most jailbreak tools these days, its a point>click>follow onscreen instructions that will leave you jailbroken in about 20 seconds.

And according to Musclenerd, those of you on an A5 Device (iPhone 4s / iPad 2 / iPad3) are probably best saving your shsh's using TinyUmbrella and upgrading to IOS 5.1.1 now, as the Kernal exploits found that will be used in Absinthe / redsn0w are only for IOS 5.1.1 and NOT IOS 5.1. You can do this soon after of course, as some tweaks and so on require updates after a firmware upgrade.

As usual, we are warned that unlockers should be weary and stay clear of this untethered release until ultrasn0w and other tools that allow CFW (Pwnagetool / Sn0wBreeze) are updated.

  Credits for the jailbreak:
      - boot code execution exploit : @pod2g
      - ASLR bypass exploit : @pod2g
      - sandbox bypass exploit : @pod2g
      - kernel vulnerability :  @westbaer
      - jailbreak : @pod2g

  With thanks to : @pimskeks @p0sixninja @xvolks @MuscleNerd @planetbeing @comex @0naj

Unusually, the main people involved have set up a Paypal account for those of you generous and grateful enough to donate money to them for the major amount of work they put in. It doesn't have to be much, but it gives them that little incentive to release more jailbreaks in the future. Of the millions of jailbreakers.....there's a VERY small number of guys helping make these jailbreaks possible. They deserve a little thanks. If you want to donate something the account can be found below.

Well that's very generous of you. I would think that pod2g would get the biggest share of all donations for having put in the majority of the work. But perhaps they see fair to split equally?
