Update from pod2g
Today I succeed in jailbreaking my iPod 3G.
The exploit is user-land, rely on a user ROP payload and a kernel write anywhere exploit.
I can’t give much details right now, but here are the next steps :
- upgrade the iPod 3G to iOS 5.0.1
- do the same on iPhone 4 / iOS 5.0.1
- then iPad 1 & iPod 4G
At every step, the exploit code needs certainly to be reworked, but I really don’t know right now.
Next, I’ll return to the research for iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. I don’t know if I gonna release first for other devices or not. I’ve to think about it. Feel free to give your opinion.
I’ll update the blog when I have news.
Cya.
With Xmas just around the corner, we might actually get an early present from pod2g this year. A few hours ago pod2g posted a video of the long awaited iOS 5.0 untethered jailbreak. There was so problems viewing
But we got that issue all sorted.
Although we already have 3 different ways to jailbreak iOS 5+, including Ac1dsn0w, Redsn0w, & Sn0wbreeze, these are all still tethered jailbreaks. So this is the jailbreak everyone has been waiting for, because it doesn’t matter if you have the iPhone 3GS or the iPad no one currently can untether their jailbreak on anything past iOS 4.3.3
When the video was first released it contained some copyright music. This caused viewing issues everywhere. Another problem was that you could not view it unless you were in pod2g’s channel, nor could you view it on mobile devices
So we’ve reuploaded the video for you with our own sample music and allowed mobile access so you can view it from anywhere.
