Pod2g has announced via Twitter that he successfully made untethered jailbreak of the 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.
Now we have some estimations regarding the release of the iOS 5.1 untethered jailbreak. Pod2g noted that it is at least a month away.
ETA for 5.1 JB: no clue! We’re going to set pieces of the puzzle together this week. We could have issues… Could be 1 month maybe 2…
I know 1 month seems long, but it’s short to work on a project like this when it’s a hobby and you’ve other things to do as well.
Last week, pod2g reported that the Chronic Dev-Team required to release an untethered jailbreak of iOS 5.1 for all devices, including iPad 3, iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. However it would take some time to put it together into a useable release.
Pod2g has bypassed ASLR at bootup, making progress towards the public release of an iOS 5.1 jailbreak. ASLR is a security method that randomly arranges important data areas. This is one more step toward untethered iOS 5.1 jailbreak for all devices including iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and new iPad 3.
ASLR seems bypassed! Weird machines FTW. Time to ROP the payload.
Earlier this week pod2g revealed that the Chronic Dev-Team now has all the exploits required to release a userland jailbreak of iOS 5.1. It takes time to put them together in a public ready tool.
Chpwn (Grant Paul) and Phoenixdev (Paul Griffin) have posted photos of an iPad 3 that was jailbroken using a third method!

This has truly been an amazing day for jailbreaks. First iPhone Dev-Team , later i0n1c . Now it seems that there is a third methid. Wow!!
Stefan Esser, better known as i0n1c, just announced that he has successfully performed an untethered jailbreak of the iPad 3.
Okay my iPad3,3 is now untethered jailbroken…
Although the iPhone Dev-Team their own jailbreak of the device earlier today, they did not specify whether their jailbreak was tethered or untethered.
I0n1c’s jailbreak will likely work on all iOS 5.1 devices including the iPhone 4S if its released. Earlier this week he of a jailbroken iPad 2 on iOS 5.1.
UPDATE: I0n1c posted a YouTube video to show the jailbreak:
Famous hacker I0n1c has just announced the successful jailbreak of iOS 5.1 on the iPad 2. He posted several prove pictures on Twitter.
No details yet, no dates for utilities and etc. No info whether this is jailbreak is untethered or not.
Pod2g, the hacker behind the iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak, has announced that he is actively working on finding vulnerabilities in iOS 5.1.
@pod2g when do you think the new iPad jailbreak will be?
