On this page we’ll follow the coverage of the iOS 5.0+ untethered jailbreak development progress from @pod2g.
We’ve had tremendous progress!, currently all the i4 devices including the iPhone 4 / iPad & iPod Touch 4G are all now compatible with the 5.0 & 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak.
The i4 devices are now tested and the new Redsn0w is out ! View our redsn0w 0.9.10b3 VIDEO GUIDE here. @pod2g has been going at it every day for the last few weeks, and thanks to all the donations from the followers, he was finally able to run out and grab himself the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. And with just a week with those devices, today he annouced that and i5 (iPhone 4S and iPad2) jailbreak could be public in as early as a week.
So don’t forget to bookmark this page or follow us on facebook as we’ll bring you the latest up to date news.

Yes, upgrade your 4S and iPad 2 to 5.0.1.
Date : Jan 3, 2012 @pod2g
I made a step today for the A5. With some luck we could expect a release in a week.

A4 releaseHello, as expected, the Chronic Dev Team and the iPhone Dev Team have released the A4 untethered for 5.0.1 based on my work.
It is exactly the same set of files, either distributed as a Cydia package for those that are already tethered or a redsn0w bundle for new users.
They both did a great job testing and integrating the payload.
Here is a link to their respective blog posts :- Chronic Dev Team : http://greenpois0n.com/?p=150- iPhone Dev Team : http://blog.iphone-dev.orgtemporary redsn0w download links: http://pastie.org/3078869
Happy jailbreaking !!!

Focused on A5
I read the comments on the blog, and I know that a lot of people are waiting for the A5 jailbreak.
Also, I know there are tons of people out there with A4 or even earlier devices who wants the untether now and don’t care about it could be interesting to wait A5 is finished to release or even 5.1, so that we don’t waste an exploit that took me months to find and develop.
I need to focus on A5 and hope I can find a path quick, and I have the feeling that chronic-dev could help me.
So, here is what I did:- I gave all the details to the chronic dev team so that they can finish, test, integrate and release the A4 jb ASAP.- I’ll put all my energy from now on on the A5
Hope I don’t disappoint.
See you.

iPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1 untethered jb demo
Hello,Here is a new video demo of the current status of the 5.0.1 jailbreak running on an iPhone 4.
This is meant to reassure people that were thinking it only works on older iPods.
The jailbreak is near ready for prime time (excluding 4S and iPad 2).
Patches are the same as redsn0w’s. Expect the same level of stability
Some more days to wait. Be patient, we’re doing our best.~pod2g

No more cache troubles !
OK, figured it out, the A5 cache is not a problem anymore.
I sorted it out by doing the untether in a single thread and by flushing all the dcache then all the icache in a row at a strategical point of the process.It took me like a hundred of tests to find the key. Hard for the nerves.
For the tech guys, here is a link explaining issues related to self modifying code ( or code patching ) on the ARM platform : http://blogs.arm.com/software-enablement/141-caches-and-self-modifying-code/Another news : I discussed with @saurik today about the launchd boot process, and he’s found one missing piece of the puzzle I needed to have a perfectly stable jailbreak. He’s definitly one of the best iOS gurus out there. Thank you saurik!

Hello.
Here are the news of the 4S week-end.
The untether fails right now because I’m having processor cache issues.
I’m close, but I can’t figure out what happens. It certainly has something to do with the Cortex-A9 cache management.
I could sort it out quick, it’s a matter of chance.
I’ll report you my progress tomorrow.
BTW: I removed (sorry) the greetings messages so that only articles related to the jailbreak remain in the main page. AFAIK Blogger don’t have the option to move or fusion messages while keeping the comments.Ciao!

Hi! I have a 4S in hand (thx). Will work hard on it this weekend.
Date : Dec 16, 2011 @pod2g
4S 5.0.1 Build 9A406 fail
@MuscleNerd tweeted something really interesting today:The latest ipsw released by Apple for the 4S contains an unencrypted
ramdisk with the vfdecrypt key in plain text.
Everybody can decrypt the filesystem with it !Is it a Christmas gift from Apple ?
Weird, isn’t it ?

Hello my friends,I know that I’ve been silent yesterday and that it was annoying.
Sorry for this, but I had to organize things for the release.
Also, I’ve tested iPad 1 and it worked.
Today I hope I can test a 3Gs.BTW: please don’t propose to be a beta tester because I’m too paranoid, fearing leaks.
Now the time to finalize the jailbreak for old devices, fix some stability issues and package the whole.That will take some days.
In the meanwhile, I’m starting the research for iPad 2 and 4S.I’ll take you informed of my progress.
Finally, I want to thank all who donated. I now can buy both devices! I don’t know what to say.Thanks you very much my friends.
Have a good day!
See ya.

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 4GAt 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.
