Planetbeing, MuscleNerd, and P0sixninja Help Pod2g With A5 Untethered Jailbreak

Pod2g has announced that Planetbeing, MuscleNerd, and P0sixninja have joined his effort to release an untethered jailbreak of the iPhone 4S and iPad 2.

@planetbeing, the legendary hacker behind iPhone Linux and lot of jailbreaks has joined the A5 research! The famous @MuscleNerd, the leader of the iPhone Dev Team, who did a lot of tests for Corona and whom integrated it and made it simple in redsn0w is willing to help also. And last, but not least @p0sixninja, the leader of the Chronic Dev Team, and my partner for years on iPhone security research has started to code and fuzz the Apple sandbox.

We now have a dream team to find a path for a public release of the A5 jailbreak. Cross your fingers.

Yesterday, pod2g posted a FAQ on why the A5 jailbreak had not been released yet. The key reason being that the exploit used to inject the untethering files to the 4S relies on having a developer account.

With the help of planetbeing, MuscleNerd, and p0sixninja, pod2g is hoping to find a distributable exploit to remount the system partition read/write and to set Corona files at the correct places.

Pod2g Resolves Cache Troubles With the iPhone 4S Untethered Jailbreak

Pod2g has resolved the cache troubles with the iPhone 4S untethered jailbreak, according to a new progress update.

---
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-enablemen ... ying-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!

Things are definitely progressing. We'll let you know when we have more news via @limerain_com, Facebook page , and RSS.

JailbreakMe Is Now Safe To Use After Being Transferred Over to Saurik

Jay Freeman, also known as Saurik, has purchased the JailbreakMe.com domain making it safe to use again.

Yesterday we reported that the JailbreakMe.com domain was no longer safe to use after ConceitedApps had sold the domain. Without control of the domain, the owner could have potentially uploaded malware, or some other malicious work. However, It seems that saurik was able to talk to the owner, and get the domain transferred. It is now in the hands of saurik and the iPhone Dev Team and should be safe to use.

Yesterday, we learned that jailbreakme.com was sold in July; today, I talked with the new owner: he is actually very likable and awesome. ;P....and tonight, jailbreakme.com was transferred to me (convenient, as I host the site ;P); so, going forward, we no longer need to worry! :D

Chronic Dev Team Finds 5 Userland Exploits in iOS 5

The Chronic Dev Team has announced that they've found 5 userland exploits in iOS 5 making it very likely that an untethered jailbreak will be available for the upcoming firmware.

P0sixninja made the announcement at MyGreatFest, an iCommunity and Jailbreak convention currently being held in London, England.

While this is a "record breaking number of exploits found", userland exploits can be easily fixed via a minor software update. By keeping the exploits secret, the Chronic Dev Team is hoping that Apple won't fix them before the expected iOS 5 launch next month.

Notably, if the exploits are still present in iOS 5 when it releases, this will bring a jailbreak to the iPad 2 once again.

JailbreakMe Update Now Available as 'Essential Upgrade' in Cydia

Comex has released an update to JailbreakMe as an 'Essential Upgrade' that can be installed via Cydia, saurik reports.

So, @comex made some fixes to the kernel patches for JailbreakMe, and we are pushing them as an "Essential Upgrade"... I hope this works! :(

To be clear: do /not/ go back to jailbreakme.com and "redo" the jailbreak; instead, just open Cydia, and accept the new "Essential Upgrade".

This update should fix the issue with the Camera Connection Kit that we reported on earlier.

If you haven't already jailbroken your device you can find instructions on how to do so here:
● iPhone
● iPad
● iPod touch

Comex Responds to Stolen iPad 2 Jailbreak, Warns iPad 2 Users to Save SHSH Blobs

Comex has responded to the leaked iPad 2 jailbreak that was apparently stolen using a possible dictionary attack.

Congratulations, some moron used a dictionary attack(?) to leak a buggy version and put me on a useless time limit.

Let's hope the time limit isn't too short... hasn't been in the past but could always change. Everyone use TinyUmbrella and save 4.3.3.

Hopefully, Apple isn't able to close the exploit before comex finishes the jailbreak. To be safe please follow comex's advice and save your SHSH Blobs using one of the tutorials below...

Has Comex Done it again, he Teases New Jailbreak Exploit?

Comex, the jailbreak hacker who uncovered the previous JailbreakMe 2.0 exploit could be back at it again.

Earlier today Comex tweeted a teaser image that shows a ski slope and a sign with black diamond and PDF symbols. The ski slope and diamond icon could be a reference to 'alpine' which is the default password for root access on iOS. The PDF could be a reference to the previous PDF exploit Comex uncovered in iOS 4.0 (JailbreakMe 2.0).

JailbreakMe allows users to jailbreak straight from their iOS device via Safari. These userland jailbreaks are quick and easy but usually patched by Apple rather quickly.

This jailbreak could either be for 4.3.3 or 5.0, or even the iPad 2. Remember, all devices except the iPad 2 will always be jailbreakable via the Limera1n exploit. Apple can easily patch the untether so it would not make sense to burn an exploit with iOS 5 releasing in a few months.
