The news a lot of you here have been waiting for has finally come true! The iPhone Dev Team has released redsn0w0.9.6rc9 software which uses the Untethered jailbreak which Stefan Essar aka i0n1c created, so you can now jailbreak iOS 4.3.1 untethered on the following devices:

iPhone 4 4.3.1 – GSM Only, so CDMA Verizon iPhone 4′s are not supported!
iPhone 3GS 4.3.1
iPod touch 4G 4.3.1
iPod touch 3G 4.3.1
iPad 1G 4.3.1 – iPad 2 is not supported!

WARNING: If you use ultrasn0w or if you want to unlock your iPhone, don’t update to iOS 4.3.1 yet as ultrasn0w is currently incompatible with iOS 4.3.1.

Steve Jobs and Apple to announce Jailbreak and Unlock Support in iOS 5 at WWDC 2011

Hans — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 15:30:56 +0000

People who are begging for jailbreaks and unlocks, crying, whining, and complaining, and constantly harassing the Jailbreak dev teams can finally stop doing that now! I have some good news. Read on below.

“We have given up, and will now be announcing support for jailbreak and unlock in iOS 5″ said Steve Jobs in Apple’s Cupertino campus in California.”We offered Geohot $1 billion to stop creating jailbreaks, and he accepted our offer. Unfortunately folks in iPhone Dev Team, and Chronic Dev Team are too smart and always win the cat and mouse game and we offered $1 billion to them also but they did not accept it. It’s just not worth it to keep patching jailbreaks and unlocks in every new iOS update as new hackers will always keep popping up and making new jailbreaks and unlocks, so we have decided to support jailbreaking and unlocking in our iOS 5 software. We’ve also wasted a lot of time and money patching jailbreaks and unlock and issuing updates, but now we will focus on improving iOS and our hardware instead. We will announce more on that in WWDC 2011 on June 6, 2011. You will be able to enable Cydia and Rock right from your Settings and won’t need to jailbreak or unlock with every update. Sorry for being such a pain in the ass for you jailbreakers and unlockers. Oh, and this changes everything again!,” said Steve Jobs

Anyone else excited about jailbreak and unlock support in iOS 5? I am! There are just two more months left until Apple officially announces jailbreak and unlock support in iOS 5 in their WWDC 2011 conference. Stay tuned!

Jailbreak iOS 4.3.1 for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch, and iPad

Hans — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 19:33:54 +0000

Now that iOS 4.3.1 download is out, many iOS users will want to jailbreak iOS 4.3.1. Unfortunately no jailbreak has been released for iOS 4.3.1 so users who want to jailbreak should stay at the jailbreak firmware they are at right now if they want to keep their jailbreak. If you want to unlock your device or jailbreak your iPad 2 then stay away from iOS 4.3.1 for now! The only person that announced an ETA for their jailbreak is iPhone hacker i0n1c, and he initially said that his untethered jailbreak may be released sometime this week. In the jailbreak world it is hard for any hacker to give any ETA on when a jailbreak comes out so we will just need to wait and see whenever a jailbreak is released.

If you only use “official” jailbreaks then you’ll need to wait for either Chronic Dev Team to update their greenpois0n jailbreak software to support iOS 4.3.1, or iPhone Dev Team to update their redsn0w or PwnageTool jailbreak software to support iOS 4.3.1.

Jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 Guide for iPhone 4.2.1, iPod touch 4.2.1, and iPad 4.2.1

Hans — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 19:46:38 +0000

If you’d like to jailbreak iPhone 4.2.1, iPod touch 4.2.1, or iPad 4.2.1, you can do so by following the guide below. Currently the only tool that supports iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak right now is redsn0w (by iPhone Dev Team).

The other jailbreak tools: greenpois0n (by Chronic Dev Team), and limera1n (by Geohot) haven’t been updated to support the jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 yet.

IMPORTANT: We recommend that only iPhone 3G, and older iPod touch users jailbreak. This jailbreak is only untethered for the older iOS hardware. All of the newer devices are tethered, meaning you will need to re-jailbreak each time you reboot your iDevice. If that is fine with you, then go on and jailbreak.

Download iUserbar new – click here (works on Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari)
In iUserbar new, click the “Downloads” button and then click on your iOS 4.2.1 firmware to download it.
In iUserbar new, click “Downloads” and click on Download redsn0w to download redsn0w.
Now open redsn0w, and click the Browse button.
Locate your device’s IPSW file that you downloaded in step 2 and click Open.
The redsn0w window will have the “IPSW successfully identified” message. Click the Next button to continue.
redsn0w will ask you to “Please select which options you would like to have“. Make sure the Install Cydia box has a check on there and then click Next.
redsn0w will ask you to make sure your device is both OFF and PLUGGED IN to your computer. Make sure you plug in your device in to your computer and then turn it off. Click Next once you have done this.
redsn0w will now ask you to connect your device in DFU mode.

Hold down the Power button for 3 seconds
Without releasing the Power button, also hold down the Home (bottom center button) for 10 seconds
Without releasing the Home button, release the Power button BUT KEEP holding the Home button for 30 seconds

If you don’t do this properly you will get a DFU Mode Failed message and you’ll have to go back to step one.
Once this process is complete, your device will restart and it will have the Cydia icon!

Jailbreak iOS 4.2

Hans — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 04:05:32 +0000

UPDATE: See Jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 for instructions on how to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1.

The final iOS 4.2 download is expected to be released soon. Jailbreakers will be forced to jailbreak their iDevice again. If you plan to jailbreak iOS 4.2, read this post for the full details. Remember, don’t hit the update button once the iOS 4.2 software update comes out!

Jailbreak iOS 4.2 Details

Device Compatibility

All iOS devices will be jailbreakable on iOS 4.2 and future firmware updates. This means you can jailbreak iPhone 4 4.2, jailbreak iPhone 3GS 4.2, jailbreak iPhone 3G 4.2, jailbreak iPhone 2G 4.2, jailbreak iPhone 4.2, jailbreak iPod touch 4G 4.2, jailbreak iPod touch 3G 4.2, jailbreak iPod touch 2G 4.2, jailbreak iPod touch 4.2, jailbreak iPad 3G 4.2, and jailbreak iPad 4.2 firmware.

Tethered Jailbreak vs Untethered Jailbreak

Some devices may be tethered. This means that you will need to jailbreak iOS 4.2 each time you reboot your iOS device. Untethered jailbreak means you only need to jailbreak once and you can reboot without having to jailbreak iOS 4.2 every time. The good news is that most of the devices will be untethered.

Jailbreak iOS 4.2 Software

You will be able to jailbreak iOS 4.2 with either redsn0w (Windows,Mac, Linux), greenpois0n (Windows,Mac, Linux), or limera1n (Windows, Mac). There is no estimate as to when a jailbreak will be out, but it should be out very quickly. If you haven’t already, Subscribe to our YouTube Channel and Join our Facebook page.

Unlock iOS 4.2 Details

iPhone 3G and 3GS users will be able to unlock iOS 4.2 through a newer version of ultrasn0w, while iPhone 4 users will have to wait.

iOS 4.2 Update Details

Notable new features in iOS 4.2 for iPad include Multi-tasking, Folders, AirPrint, and Game Center. New features in iOS 4.2 for iPhone and iPod touch include AirPlay, Ringer Volume Control, FaceTime, and improved performance on iPhone 3G.

Greenpois0n Mac Download for iPhone 4 4.1, iPhone 3GS 4.1, iPod touch 4G/3G 4.1, and iPad 3.2.2 Released

Hans — Sun, 17 Oct 2010 01:54:03 +0000

Two days ago Geohot released the limera1n Mac download. Today Chronic Dev Team has released the long awaited greenpois0n Mac download, which can be downloaded from the greenpois0n download page. The greenpois0n Mac download works on iPhone 4 4.1/4.0/4.0.2/4.0, iPhone 3GS 4.1/4.0/4.0.2/4.0, iPod touch 3G 4.1/4.0/4.0.2/4.0, iPod touch 4G 4.1/4.0/4.0.2/4.0, and iPad 3.2.2 hardware. It uses the same exploit as limera1n.

To use the greenpois0n Mac download to jailbreak your device, just connect your device to your computer, press the jailbreak button in the greenpois0n software, and follow the on screen instructions.

limera1n Mac Download for iPhone 4 4.1, iPhone 3GS 4.1, iPod touch 4G/3G 4.1, and iPad 4.1 Released

Hans — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 00:02:34 +0000

Looks like Geohot was being sarcastic when he said limera1n for Mac would be released in 7 years. The limera1n Mac download for iPhone 4 4.1/4.0/4.0.2/4.0, iPhone 3GS 4.1/4.0/4.0.2/4.0, iPod touch 3G 4.1/4.0/4.0.2/4.0, iPod touch 4G 4.1/4.0/4.0.2/4.0, and iPad 3.2.2 hardware was just released by Geohot. Simply click make it ra1n, put your device in DFU mode and the limera1n jailbreak will do it’s magic.

You can get the limera1n for Mac download from the limera1n download page. Let us know how this works for you in the comments. I know a lot of you Mac users here are still waiting for greenpois0n but go ahead and try limera1n because it’s really easy to use and uses the same exploit.
