(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); George Hotz (aka Geohot), the iPhone hacking expert who had released popular jailbreaking and unlocking tools like blackra1n, blacksn0w had broken his silence few days back to announce that he had jailbroken iPhone 4.

However, he had also mentioned that he didn’t plan to release tools to jailbreak it, which resulted in angry reactions from iPhone users.

This is what he said on his blog:

Sorry, this post was probably a bad idea. Next time I won't say anything. I miss when this blog was actually about technical things(I've been reacting too much to the feedback, which led it to the place it's in now). I didn't fully realize most of the current scene don't care unless they are getting something. Now I do. It's late tonight, I'll think about what to do about this in the morning.

The real reason behind no release isn't technical. It's just that it will never stop, after blackra1n, people demand unlock, after blacksn0w, people demand untethered. I miss the days when jailbreaking and unlocking were difficult, it attracted a much higher caliber crowd.

Also, to the haters, the picture is quite obviously fake Happy

So guys there you go good luck to the dev team!:beer:

I hate to see such actions from someone like him just because of the shitty community he's surrounded by. It's exactly why hunter128 and TheUnkn0wn don't give anything to anybody. People are so greedy, I don't blame him for not releasing his iPhone tools.

I get it. He believes in the info being out there. But he hates being bothered all the time. He gives help to people who actually want to contribute. And with blackra1n he got email after email about complaints or problems. I mean that has to get annoying.
