Version 0.9.11b4 completes the tethered JB support for 5.1.1 on A4 devices and earlier, including proper “Stitching” and “Custom” creation of NO_BB IPSWs.
Pod2g has announced via Twitter that he successfully made untethered jailbreak of the iPhone 4 on iOS 5.1. Previously, three parties had demonstrated the jailbreak of iOS 5.1: I0n1c, the iPhone Dev-Team, and Chpwn/Phoenixdev. Only I0n1c claimed untethered jailbreak, but made it clear that he will not be releasing his jailbreak to the public.
Thankfully pod2g has announced that he’s also succeeded in untethering the jailbreak.
Heya! My iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1 is now untethered
Obviously, this is an important step towards public release of the iOS 5.1 jailbreak. This past Monday pod2g revealed the discovery of 2 big vulnerabilities. 1 kernel land and 1 root land. It appears that progress is being made!
Pod2g has announced the discovery of 2 new vulnerabilities in his quest to jailbreak the iPhone.
News: a productive week-end. Found 2 big vulnerabilities. 1 kernel land and 1 root land.
Too bad I have to be secret again…
Last week pod2g noted that a jailbreak of iOS 5.1 would take at least a month to complete. We’ll post more information about how these new vulnerabilities will affect that schedule as soon as we hear more.
If the kernel land vulnerability is exploitable this could provide a jailbreak for the device no matter the firmware.
