Jailbreak iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad

Well known iPhone hacker p0sixninja has teased the upcoming release of some ‘amazing things’ on Twitter that are bigger than a jailbreak.

Last night he tweeted:

I got a lot of amazing things coming to you all soon. think bigger than jailbreak

In March, p0sixninja revealed that he had found the exploits necessary to release a new jailbreak; however, as expected, he decided to hold those back for iOS 7 or iOS 7.1.

His new announcement hints at something better than a jailbreak which suggests that perhaps he has found a bootrom exploit. The last bootrom exploit was limera1n found by Geohot which supported the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 4G, iPod Touch 3G, and iPad. The exploit made those devices permanently vulnerable to a tethered jailbreak.

UPDATE: tutorials for iOS 6.0.1 jailbreak are available here.

Here are our step-by-step tutorials that will guide you through all the process of tether jailbreaking iOS 6 with redsn0w:

The iPhone Dev-Team has announced RedSn0w 0.9.15b1 which brings numerous new features including iOS 6 jailbreak for old devices, ability to restore to older firmware, manipulating SHSH blobs and etc.

iOS 6 jailbrak is tethered for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 4G, untethered only for old iPhone 3GS with old bootrom. Tethered jailbreak means that each time you restart your device you will need to connect it to a computer and run redsn0w.

iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad 2 and iPad 3 are not supported.

We will create our step-by-step tutorials soon.

The iPhone Dev-Team has released RedSn0w 0.9.12b2. New version has some bugfixes and additional question about jailbreak mode for A4 devices.

Redsn0w allows owners of A4+earlier devices to install rocky-racoon two different ways:

• Backup/restore method similar to Absinthe and cinject.
• Traditional limera1n-based ramdisk install. It is much faster, especially for users with lot’s music, movies, apps on the device.

Redsn0w 0.9.12b2 will ask owners of iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 4G and iPad 1 what jailbreak mode they would like to use.

Starting with version 0.9.12b2, redsn0w will now explicitly ask users with limera1n-able devices whether they want to inject rocky-racoon using the DFU ramdisk method or the backup/restore method (the ramdisk method is better for those with lots of media on their device that would create very large backups, and it’s required for those with unactivated iPhones). If you’ll always want to use limera1n, you can select that in the Preferences pane. It also fixes an iBooks issue on old-bootrom 3GS iPhones, and provides more useful error messages when things go wrong.

RedSn0w 0.9.12b2 supports untethered iOS 5.1.1 jailbreak for all devices:

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

You can download RedSn0w 0.9.12b2 here.

• Apple TV 2 users can now resize their root partition.

Sn0wbreeze can be used to create a custom firmware with jailbreak and preserve iPhone modem (baseband) version for unlock.

Sn0wbreeze 2.9.6 supports iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad 1, iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 4G and Apple TV 2G. It does not work with A5 devices, like iPad 2, iPad 3 and iPhone 4S.

Official DevTeam comments:

RedSn0w
redsn0w allows owners of A4+earlier devices to install rocky-racoon two different ways:

• backup/restore method similar to Absinthe and cinject
• its traditional limera1n-based ramdisk install. If you have a lot of media on your A4 device (music, movies, TV shows, etc), then the ramdisk method is preferrred because it avoids any possibility of later problems related to syncing to iCloud (including Photo Stream and Music Match). The ramdisk method is not available for A5 devices or later because limera1n can’t be used. If you’d like to use redsn0w’s ramdisk method, just be sure to put the A4 device in DFU or Recovery mode before starting redsn0w (otherwise it will immediately start to use the backup/restore method).

We’ve also added a new redsn0w feature specifically for those who got in on the SAM unlock: you can now include your SAM tickets as part of your initial ramdisk jailbreak of iPhone4 or earlier, or alternatively you can upload your SAM tickets to any device after its been jailbroken. redsn0w accepts either the individual SAM activation ticket plist file, or the entire zip file created by redsn0w’s “Backup” button. As usual, redsn0w continues to cover all of its previous jailbreaks and untethers (so redsn0w-0.9.12b1 covers everything from 5.1.1 all the way back to 4.1).

PwnageTool
PwnageTool also avoids any possible sync issues, but again it applies only to A4+earlier devices. If you unlock your iPhone with ultrasn0w or a commercial method, you must use PwnageTool to avoid updating your baseband otherwise you’ll lose the unlock. PwnageTool will also jailbreak+untether the AppleTV2,1 5.0_2B206f (unless you customize the IPSW further, you’ll have just basic SSH access to the device).

iH8Sn0w released Sn0wBreeze 2.9.5. What’s new:

• Added 5.1.1/9B208 untether payload for the iPhone 4 GSM.
• Added iPhone 3GS (iPad Baseband users) location services fix.

Just like version 2.9.4 the new 2.9.5 version supports untethered jailbreak of A4 devices on iOS 5.1.1. Sn0wbreeze can be used to create a custom firmware with jailbreak and preserve iPhone modem (baseband) version for unlock.

Sn0wbreeze 2.9.5 supports iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad 1, iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 4G and Apple TV 2G. It does not work with A5 devices, like iPad 2, iPad 3 and iPhone 4S.
