Dev-Team Shaded Some Light on the Progress of iPad 3 Jailbreak

1 Reply

The heat in the Jailbeaking community rises as the iPad 3 launch is being all around the world. Today is the day when iPad 3 is debuting all around the world and many of the people are waiting outside in the lines at Apple Store for the New iPad also called iPad 3. Today not only Apple Retail Stores would be giving the iPad’s, the big retailers and other shops are also giving the New iPad. One of the biggest retailer Wal-Mart, started to sell of The New iPad 8 hours before the official launch. This 8 hours before release might have caught more customers and might have decreased the number of users outside the Apple Retail Store.

Still the tradition of buying things from Apple Store won’t decrease because people love to stand in the line and buy the newly released products from Apple Store. So, The New iPad is almost the same as iPad 2 and got only few minor hardware changes in it. When we heard about The New iPad’s A5x processor we thought that this might be something new and it would be difficult to exploit the new processor. To exploit the new processor would require a new exploit and a lot of hard work. Like the iPad 2 Untethered Jailbreak came back 4 months ago and was worked on for many months.

Luckily the New iPad got the same processor as of iPad 2 with some GPU work done in it to improve the graphics of the New iPad and gaming on the New iPad. Apple played their game after releasing the New iPad and iOS 5.1. Now it is time for the iPhone hackers to play their turn.

Before the iPad 3 could launch all round the world, the German security researcher and iOS hacker teased the world with some Jailbroken iPad 2 pictures and vowed to Jailbreak the iPad 3 whenever he gets his hands on to it. The iOS hacker is not new in the Jailbreaking community. He have worked on the iOS 4.3.x Jailbreak for iPhone 4 and below in past and will be contributing for the iPad 3, iPad 2, and iPhone 4S Jailbreak.

On the other hand, The Dream Team is also working on the Untethered Jailbreak for iPad 3, iPad 2, and iPhone 4S, Those of you are not aware of the Dream Team, we will summarize for you. The Dream consists of all the well-known and Famous iOS Hackers including, @Pod2g, @MuscleNerd, @P0sixninja, and others. Today one of the members of the Dream Team, @MuscleNerd announced that they got a big surprise for all those who are waiting in line for the iPad 3. Their Devices will be Jailbroken in three different angles.

Despite the awkward name Apple announced last week for the new iPad (we’ll continue to call it iPad3!), by all signs it’s going to be another big hit.  We suspect many of you are lined up at this very minute, and so it’s a good time to give you some info for maximizing your chance to eventually jailbreak the iPad3.

There are a few bits of good news already.

  • We can confirm that the method used to jailbreak the iPad2 4 months ago (before corona) still works even in 5.1.  That means we’ll at least be able to get our foot in the door to get the required kernel dumps on the iPad3.  That’s an important step, but by no means is it the end of the story.
  • Those of you following @i0n1c may have noticed he’s already tweeted pictures of his iPad2 jailbroken at 5.1.  As far as we know, he’s using a method completely unrelated to the one mentioned above.  That would be great news!
  • We’ve also seen bits and pieces of an entirely different jailbreak method being investigated by someone close to the Cydia repo scene.

That’s three different angles, and we’re not even including the continuous work @pod2g makes towards a new jailbreak!  As always, keep in mind this is very preliminary progress, and it’s impossible to predict how or when these things turn out.  The only thing you need to remember is the golden rule:

Don’t update your new iPad3 past whatever iOS it comes shipped with

By the way, it’s rare but entirely possible that some of you may find your iPad3 comes with an iOS version that’s not quite 5.1.  If you do, be sure to let us know in the comments below!

Above mentioned are the three different angles which are in works and three different people are working on it. They haven’t included @Pod2g’s contribution in it. He is also working on the Untethered Jailbreak for  iOS 5.1.

The team also announced that don’t update to any new iOS for your iPad 3, if any new iOS version comes out after the launch of iOS 5.1. It can also be possible that you people might have some different version of iOS on your iPad 3. The build number can be different or you might have a totally new version on your iPad 3. If you get a new version other than iOS 5.1, So feel free to contact the Dev-Team on their blog or Twitter to help them identify the builds and exploit them.

This is going insane that Apple has been PWNED for consecutive times. Whenever they release anything new, they get PWNED by the Jailbreak community. The Cat and Mouse game has started once again between Apple and Jailbreak. This time Apple didn’t made any special hardware changes, so they will be getting PWNED really soon. The competition between the jailbreakers is also increasing day by day. At first we had only one person and now whole team. Lets wait and see who comes up with the Untethered jailbreak first. I0n1c has played his move. Now remains the dream team.

i0n1c demoed the upcoming Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.1 on iPad 2

Apple released a new iOS Version few days back which made the Dream Team and other hackers in the Jailbreak community active. They all were relaxing after the hard work on iOS 5.0.1 Untethered Jailbreak for iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. They might also be waiting for the iOS 5.1 release by Apple to find the exploits in it and Jailbreak it. After the release of iOS 5.1, the well-known French Hacker, @Po2g came in action and announced on his Twitter that he need some help from the users regarding the Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.1. He needed the people to send him some specific crash reports from their iDevice.

The process is in progress by pod2g and his dream team when from nowhere a German hacker and Security researcher known as Stefan Esser (i0n1c) came up with few pictures on his Twitter account regarding the Jailbreak of iOS 5.1 on iPad 2. He showed up some Cydia pictures on his iPad 2 running iOS 5.1.

The name of i0n1c must be new to some of you, but he is not at all new in this field. He have worked on the iOS 4.3.x Untethered Jailbreak in past for iPhone 4 and below. This time he has come up with some pictures showing the jailbreak for iPad 2 and most probably iPhone 4S. He hasn’t shaded any light on the Jailbreak that will it be Untethered or tethered Jailbreak. We believe that the Jailbreak would be Untethered because iPad 2 and iPhone 4S got no Bootrom level exploit which make them compatible with a Tethered Jailbreak, so this jailbreak would be Untethered.

The version of Cydia is also new in the above shown picture which is 1.1.5. Till now it is not clear that we will get a new tool with the name of Antid0te or the Untethered Jailbreak will come with previous well known tools. In past i0n1c has teased about the Antid0te Tool also. The time will tell about the tool and the Untethered Jailbreak.

On the other hand @Pod2g and his team are busy in finding the exploit to Jailbreak iOS 5.1 on iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. He and i0n1c challenged each other regarding the Jailbreak that lets see who jailbreaks the iOS 5.1 first. I0n1c wins the challenge. Now we have to about The Dream Team that what they come up with. I0n1c doesn’t end the game here because he have vowed to Jailbreak The New iPad as soon as he gets his hands on to it. The jailbreak community is going on fire. This and the next week would be very crucial because one team and one man are working on the Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.1. If i0n1c PWNS The New iPad, that would be really epic and every one out there would be happy.

Let’s wait and see what these people come up with.

Jailbreak Non A5 Devices On iOS 5.1 With Redsn0w 0.910b6

Leave a Reply

Well yesterday at the Apples special event Timothy Cook announced about the releasing of iOS 5.1, that was just after the event. Of course developers are always ready, the jailbreak after some hours released for non A5 devices which are iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad, iPod touch 3rd generation and iPod touch 4th generation. The jailbreak is though tethered, released for OS X and Windows both. According to the iPhone dev team, they are thoroughly working on the untethered jailbreak for both non A5 and A5 devices.

From the Dev-Team Blog

With all of that in mind, we realize that some of you non-A5 jailbreakers are itching to get to 5.1, even though there seems to be no compelling new feature there. Because of geohot’s limera1n exploit, those with devices earlier than the iPad2 can test the 5.1 jailbreak waters if they really want to, using redsn0w 0.9.10b6.  Here’s what you need to know:
  • This is a *tethered* 5.1 jailbreak for non-A5 devices.  You’ll need to use redsn0w to “Just Boot” your device every time it power cycles, otherwise jailbreak apps won’t work (neither will Safari).
  • If you use ultrasn0w for your carrier unlock, be sure to use a custom IPSW to get to 5.1 first!  Don’t ever restore to a stock Apple IPSW!  Use redsn0w’s “Custom IPSW” button to create a NO_BB_* version of the 5.1 IPSW and restore to that instead of the stock one.  (That option is available only to 3GS and iPhone4-GSM owners.)  ultrasn0w itself will be updated for 5.1 in the next few days (same baseband support, not 5.1’s baseband).
  • If you’re lucky enough to have an old-bootrom 3GS, this jailbreak is actually untethered (redsn0w will figure that part out automatically).
  • While we were at it, we added @pod2g’s steaks4uce exploit to support MC models of the iPod touch 2G (whose last firmware was 4.2.1).  So now redsn0w will auto-detect and jailbreak both MB and MC versions of that older device.
  • iBooks won’t work until a future update of redsn0w

To download redsn0w 0.9.10b6,

Run the redsn0w 0.910b6 on Windows in administrator mode.

The tag line of Apple o their media event invitation made us go in a deep thought that they would be coming up with something new and exciting.
