It is still unclear who has made it possible to jailbreak iPhone 4 CDMA as the team behind this stuff has no other name apart from the ‘UnthreadedJB’. It is rumored that this jailbreak uses the exploits released much earlier by the members of jailbreak community, however, whether this is true or not we don’t know.

There’s also one drawback about this jailbreak -- it is currently working on Linux only. But with time it is sure to reach other operating systems.

Popular hacker MuscleNerd has denied rumors that a bootrom exploit has been found for the iPhone. Earlier today, he tweeted:

There is no A5+ bootrom exploit, by anyone. Not even a bootrom dump. Nothing.

Speculation that a bootrom exploit may have been found began after p0sixninja tweeted that he would be releasing something bigger than a jailbreak.

The bootrom exploit can devices permanently vulnerable to a tethered jailbreak regardless of iOS version. The last bootrom exploit was limera1n found by Geohot which supported A4 devices like iPhone 4 and below.

Hacker p0sixninja (Joshua Hill) tweeted that he plans to create OpenJailbreak, a new repository of open source jailbreak components on Twitter earlier today.

Ok, I hate redsn0w, I hate sn0wbreeze, and I hate 6.1.3. I’m ready to get this #openjailbreak off the ground

Elaborating further he told:

Essentially it’s going to be a repository of open source jailbreak components that I created over the years. So much of my code has been hacked up and incorporated into other projects, it’s becoming very fragmented. There’s no central repository to maintain all this code, to allow other developers to submit patches or help layout a roadmap for what new features and abilities will be added in the future.

Surenix is reportedly working on the development of the website for the repository and Hill is organizing that components that will be posted.

Hill also says “this is just a small part of an ultimate plan” perhaps eluding to another recent tweet which said, “I got a lot of amazing things coming to you all soon. think bigger than jailbreak ”

Notably, developer Ryan Petrich posted an image on Twitter earlier today which appears to indicate that there already is a jailbreak for iOS 7.

iOS 7 has been jailbroken. Popular iOS developer Ryan Petrich has posted a screenshot which appears to show Activator running on iOS 7.

Earlier today Petrich tweeted saying, “System version too new?”. Alongside the tweet was the picture below. The picture shows the Springboard of an iPod touch with an Activator icon and a UIAlert window which reads:

System Version Too New
Activator has not been tested to work with this version of iOS. Some features may not work as designed.

Notably, this alert does not seem to be a UIAlert that could be generated from within a sandboxed application, suggesting that device may be jailbroken.

It’s unclear what expoit was used by Petrich. Last year Apple had closed comex’s developer account based exploit that had been used by hackers to root their iDevices for two years.

Hacker p0sixninja recently announced that he has “got a lot of amazing things coming to you all soon. think bigger than jailbreak ” It’s been suggested that he may have found a bootrom exploit.
