Post: Best iPhone 4g/ iPod 4 Jailbreak possible on the newest software?
10-25-2011, 11:59 PM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So I am looking to jailbreak my iPod and iPhone but I updated them with the newest software, 5.0, and I know that it was rare to find and unteathered jailbreak with the last software. But is there any coming out for this one? If anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
Durango

Actually a semi-tethered jailbreak has been released. in Semi tethered u can boot your iPhone but cant use any apps obtained from cydia.

And when ps3 was hacked , many people claimed that sony could not patch it and they could install cfw on it again after update. however it was not so . Do you think the same could happen when apple releases another update?

I wrote that before semi-tethered was stable.. but as for the pwned for life.. The ps3 was hacked by a combination of hardware and software exploits.. software exploits can always be patched no matter what the device is... As for Hardware.. A company can not patch something that is a hardware exploit with a firmware update.. As for iphone 4 being pwned for life.. Geohot (the same 1 that hacked the ps3 and the 1st iphone) released an exploit that he called Limerain which exploits the A4 cpu chip in the iPhone 4, iPad 1, nd iTouch 4G.. the exploit is a boot-rom exploit which means the exploit occurs during the boot-up process.. An exploit like this cannot be patched through a firmware update, only a hardware update can fix it.. Which apple did back in the iTouch 2G and 3G/3GS.. A high level boot-rom exploit was found causing the iTouch 2G, iTouch 1G, iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, and iPhone 3GS to be pwned for life with an untethered jailbreak because it was such a high level exploit.. since apple couldnt fix this through a firmware update.. they quietly re-released the iTouch 2G and iPhone 3GS with new boot-roms.. the new boot-rom devices had "MC" instead of "MB"as the 1st 2 #'s of there Model #.. As for the A4 exploit.. it created an exploit for all devices before the iPad 2.. and the only way apple could have patched it was to release a iPhone 4 with a new boot-rom.. which they didnt..

do u think the ipad2's and the iphone4S's processors have any hardware exploits or did apple completely patch it? there has been rumors that dev-team jailbroke an iphone 4S

The 4S and the iPad 2 both can be jailbroken at this point by the Dev team... but the jailbreak will take alittle while longer due to the fact that apple is releasing 5.0.1 in the next few weeks.. and the jailbreak the Dev-team is working on uses 7 different exploits to gain access to the root (jailbreak).. But because the jailbreak is userland, it makes it a-whole lot easier for Apple to patch when the jailbreak is released..
