Jailbreak iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad

The iPhone Dev-Team recently released RedSn0w 0.9.8b7 which brings explicit support for a tethered 4.3.5 jailbreak as well as new iOS 5.0b6 iPad 1 jailbreak:

Apple updated the iPad1 iOS5b6 IPSW without changing its version number or filename, so we’re releasing redsn0w 0.9.8b7 to handle both the original and changed IPSW. We’ve also added explicit support for a tethered 4.3.5/4.2.10 jailbreak (instead of pointing at the 4.3.4/4.2.9 IPSWs) and fixed a 4.2.10 problem.

You can download RedSn0w 0.9.8b7 here.

If you have never done jailbreak, you might want to try

RedSn0w can perform a tethered jailbreak on iOS 4.3.5 for all devices except the iPad 2, according to MuscleNerd’s tweet:

So those who really do want tethered 4.3.5 can use redsn0w pointed at 4.3.4 (except iPad2)

We strongly recommend NOT to update to iOS 4.3.4 or iOS 4.3.5 to preserve untethered jailbreak. We will soon post step-by-step tutorials on how to perform iOS 4.3.5 tethered jailbreak.

As you might know hacker Comex has found a new PDF vulnerability and released JailBreakMe tool that uses it. These were great news. The bad ones is that your iPhone and iPad and iPod Touch is at risk. Bad guys can use the same vulnerability to take control of your device and do whatever they want with it.

Apple will fix it in iOS 4.3.4 firmware some day. Fortunately Comex has already released a patch for his JailbreakMe 3.0 exploit to protect already jailbroken devices from any malicious use of the exploit.

The package called ‘PDF Patcher 2′ can be downloaded and installed from Cydia. To jailbreak please use our step-by-step instructions.

Today Comex has officially released the new web-based jailbreak for iOS 4.3.3. It supports all devices including iPad 2.

The jailbreak uses a PDF exploit similar to old JailbreakMe and does not require your device to be connected to the computer.

To jailbreak, navigate to http://www.jailbreakme.com on your iOS device after updating to iOS 4.3.3 (if you do not need unlock). We will be posting detailed instructions shortly.

Here is the list of devices and iOS versions that are supported:

• iPad 1: iOS 4.3 – 4.3.3
• iPad 2: iOS 4.3.3
• iPhone 3GS: iOS 4.3 – 4.3.3
• iPhone 4 GSM: iOS 4.3 – 4.3.3
• iPhone 4 CDMA: iOS 4.2.6 – 4.2.8
• iPod Touch 3G: iOS 4.3, 4.3.2, 4.3.3
• iPod Touch 4G: iOS 4.3 – 4.3.3

Step by step JailbreakMe tutorials:

• iPad 1
• iPad 2
• iPhone 3GS
• iPhone 4
• iPod Touch 3G
• iPod Touch 4G

MuscleNerd recently Tweeted that iOS 5 beta 1 jailbreak is already available. DevTeam released Redsn0w 0.9.8 b1.

For now the jailbreak is tethered (you have to run redsn0w each time you reboot) and available for Mac OS X only. It will not activate your device, so you need have registered UDID. iPhone 3GS users with 06.15 baseband: redsn0w will get you past the iTunes restore error. This redsn0w will probably work on future versions of iOS 5.

Redsn0w 0.9.8 b1 works with iOS 5 b1 on iPhone 4 (GSM / CDMA), iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 4G, iPad 1.

This is mostely for developers of Cydia apps. Most tweaks and Cydia applications do not work on iOS 5.

You can download Redsn0w 0.9.8 b1 here.

DevTeam released the untethered jailbreak for the latest iOS 4.3.3 – utilities RedSn0w 0.9.6 rc15 and PwnageTool 4.3.3.

The 4.3.3 untether works on all Apple devices that support 4.3.2 except for the iPad2:

• iPhone 3GS
• iPhone 4 (GSM)
• iPod Touch 3G
• iPod Touch 4G
• iPad 1
• AppleTV 2G (PwnageTool only for now)

Redsnow is easy to use, it is available for Windows and Mac OS. As usual for unlockers – do not update to 4.3.3, use PwnageTool (MAC) and Sn0wBreeze (Windows) to preserve the baseband.

You can download RedSn0w 0.9.6 rc15 here.

You can download PwnageTool 4.3.3 here.

Ultrasn0w was also updated to support old baseband on new iOS 4.3.3. Ultrasn0w 1.2.3 (for unlockers with old baseband) is available in Cydia.

New tutorials for iOS 4.3.3 are ready:

• iPhone 3GS
• iPhone 4 (GSM)
• iPod Touch 3G
• iPod Touch 4G
• iPad 1

New tutorials are on it’s way. For now you can still use our tutorials for iOS 4.3.1. Just download iOS 4.3.2 here, update in iTunes, point redsn0w to it, everything else is the same:

• Jailbreak iPod Touch 4G with RedSn0w (Windows)
• Jailbreak iPod Touch 3G with RedSn0w (Windows)

I0n1c has confirmed that his untethered jailbreak exploit is still working for iOS 4.3.2. This is good news for all jailbreakers.

Here are his recent tweets:

Apple has been nice. I just verified that the untether vulnerability is not fixed in iOS 4.3.2 – my Ipad 1 is running untethered jailbroken

Of course the public untether binaries will not work with iOS 4.3.2 – I have to generate new untether binaries with new dyld/kernel offsets

I won’t be able to create all the untether binaries before sunday, because I will be on planes, …

The dev-team cannot produce the untether binaries on their own, because they don’t have the source code to the untether exploit.

Well from what I hear lots of the problems people had with 4.3.1 (like wifi, 3g, …) are gone in 4.3.2

The new version of iOS 4.3.2 jailbreak tools RedSn0w and PwnageTool will be released by the iPhone Dev-Team quite soon.

iH8sn0w updated their iOS 4.3.1 untethered jailbreak utility – released Sn0wBreeze 2.5.1.

They have added

• Apple TV 2G support,
• Cydia 1.1.1,
• ability to use 06.15 baseband for iPhone 3GS,
• afc2 (to use ifunbox and iphone explorer)
• fixed some bugs

Sn0wBreeze is used to create custom firmwares with jailbreak and preserve iPhone baseband. It is available for Windows only.

You can download Sn0wBreeze 2.5.1 here.
