Jailbreak iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad

A hacker named winocm claims he has a binary that can perform an untethered jailbreak of the iOS 6.1.3. This announcement has been spotted on Twitter today.

I now have a binary that untethers 6.1.3. Needs some more work though.

A tethered jailbreak is now available for the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 4G running iOS 6.1.3. winocm says, he has tested the code only on his own iPhone 4. What is interesting, though, is that the hacker doesn’t work on the jailbreak for iOS 7.

I have my own code running inside the iOS 6.1.3 kernel on iPhone 4. It’s not useful on iOS 7. I don’t care about iOS 7. Other people are taking care of iOS 7.

If you have an iPhone and look forward to news from winocm concerning the new jailbreak, you may follow this person on Twitter.

P0sixninja has finally launched its OpenJailbreak website, where all the members of the world’s jailbreak community can find tools they need. The big event took place on August 24th, during the Worldwide Jailbreak Conference.

As to the website itself, it will contain:

• Open source components from both greenpois0n and absinthe jailbreaks
• Bug, issue, and feature tracking so even non-developers can contribute
• Wikis, forums, and documents to help new users learn how to use components

There’re currently six projects posted on the website, with more to come in a while. So, here’s what you can find once you go to openjailbreak.org:

• libmbdb-1.0 – A library and utilities for modifying backups from iOS devices
• libmacho-1.0 – A library and utilities for modifying and parsing Apple Mach-O executable files
• libimg3-1.0 – A library and utilities for parsing and decrypting iOS IMG3 files
• libdyldcache-1.0 – A library and utilities for parsing and manipulating iOS dynamic linker shared cache
• libirecovery-2.0 – A library and utilities for interacting with iOS low level bootloaders
• libcrippy-1.0 – A library containing all the common shared code for libraries

OpenJailbreak is a website created primarily for developers and jailbreakers, however, if you wish you may also take a look at it at the link above.

One of the most interesting Samsung Galaxy S4’s features is probably Smart Pause. This is the feature that automatically pauses video playback each time you look away. For quite a long period of time those who use iPhones had to put up with the fact that there’s nothing similar for the iOS platform. And then FaceHalt was released.
