  • Pod2g’s Jailbreak Drops iPod 3G, iPhone 3GS out in Updated FAQ’s

    Pod2g’s Jailbreak Drops iPod 3G, iPhone 3GS out in Updated FAQ’s

    While waiting for the Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.1.x from @pod2g, we were expecting the release soon and for all the iDevices out there including old devices. Sadly, today @pod2g, the iOS hacker announced that the Untethered Jailbreak for iPhone 3GS, iPod 3G won’t be arriving with the Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.1.x. The support of the Untethered Jailbreak will be for iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPad 2, and iPad 3 on iOS 5.1.x. He told this sad news on his blog by updating the FAQ area.

    5.1.x untethered jailbreak FAQ I receive lots of questions either by email or twitter about the 5.1.x untethered jailbreak. Here are some answers :

      • The poll about releasing now or waiting for 6.0 ended with a 64% / 33% to release ASAP. Where is the link ? ETA ? How much % done ? etc. As I said earlier in twitter, there’s still a lot to do to have a user friendly and well tested tool to install the jailbreak on end users devices. Expect a release in a couple of weeks.

     

    • Will it be compatible with my <any random iOS device> ? It will be compatible with any device running iOS 5.1.1 except iPod 3G, iPhone 3Gs and ATV3 (right now, may change in a near future, nobody knows).

     

     

    • Why is it so slow to release now that the iPad 3,1 has been demoed ? There are 16 different devices out there to work on and to test. It takes time.

     

     

    • May I be a beta tester ? No, sorry. Only really trusted people (that can be counted on one hand) could have access to the jailbreak. I don’t want any leak to happen.

     

     

    • What if I offer you 1,000,000$ ? That doesn’t change a thing.

     

     

     

      Be patient, it’s gonna happen.   See you my friends. After this, He Tweeted on his Twitter account that the Untethered Jailbreak for iPhone 3GS, iPod 3G will be missed in the upcoming release.

    The reason he told about the drop off for iPod 3G, iPhone 3GS for the untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.1.x is that he tested on them and the Kernel Vulnerability is not happening on these devices. This means that these iDevices are out of the league of Untethered Jailbreak. Not only these two, ATV 3 (Apple TV 3) is also out of the league for the time being because he needs to do some work on it to make it Untethered.

    As far as the release is concerned, expect the Untethered Jailbreak to debut in couple of weeks that are approximately two weeks or less. @Pod2g needs to test the Untethered Jailbreak on his hand to make sure that the Untethered Jailbreak works fine and it is complete user friendly for the release. Once the Jailbreak is ready, it will be out for public. He cannot chose some random testers for the untethered jailbreak because last time @Comex’s user land exploit was leaked in public and got fixed by Apple in the next iOS update. Due to this reason, Pod2g cannot rely on any one other than a very trusted person. Once the testing is done, the release would be done.

    All we have to do is just wait for few weeks and then we will have the Untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1.x on all the iDevices except, iPhone 3GS, iPod 3G, and ATV3.

    Wow! What a wonderful weekend going on. We hope that you are subscribed with us and are staying up to date with us regarding the Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.1 and iOS 5.1.1. In previous days, we have seen many new updates regarding the untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.1. First news came from @i0n1c and then from @pod2g, the hacker who is actively working on the Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.1/5.1.1. @i0n1c was the first one to state about the untethered Jailbreak of iOS 5.1.1/5.1. If you remember that he has no plans for releasing the Jailbreak for Public. So we are relying on @pod2g.

    Now about @pod2g, we got two great news from him today regarding the Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.1/5.1.1. Earlier today, he first showed a video demo of the Untethered Jailbreak in action and said that he will be testing the same Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1 on iPad 3. If it works, he will continue his work to compile the Jailbreak for public. Then after few hours, an amazing tweet came from him stating that the Untethered Jailbreak works on iOS 5.1.1, iPad 3.

     

    The great news is that the untethered jailbreak is working perfectly and there are no issues in the Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1 on iPad 3. So, we can expect the Untethered Jailbreak would be working for iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad 2, and iPad 3. This means that the Untethered Jailbreak would be compatible with A5 and A5X processors.

    Now get ready for the release of the Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1/5.1. Are you people excited about the Untethered Jailbreak from @pod2g?

  • iPad 3 Untethered Jailbreak on iOS 5.1 Demoed by Pod2g (Video)

    The jailbreak fever is on for iOS 5.1.1 and iOS 5.1. As Apple released their New iPad earlier this year, it was Jailbroken the same day. Since that time, the Jailbreak fever is on for all those who are the proud owner of an Apple iPad 3. Meanwhile don’t forget those who own an iPhone 4S and iPad 2, they also want to be the part of this fever and are desperately waiting for the Jailbreak to release for them, so they can Jailbreak their iDevice and make it free. The jailbreak fever is significantly making progress and the heat is on by @pod2g, the member of the Chronic-Dev Team and the person behind the Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 on iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and older iDevices.

    The day before we told you about the ultimate success that @pod2g got regarding the Untethered Jailbreak for iPad 3 on iOS 5.1, next target was iOS 5.1.1. So, today he showed a demo of the Untethered Jailbreak working on the New iPad on iOS 5.1. He posted the video on his blog and you can view it below.

  • Pod2g Makes iPad 3 Untethered Jailbreak, Next Target iOS 5.1.1

    Pod2g Makes iPad 3 Untethered Jailbreak, Next Target iOS 5.1.1

    Today we are going to tell you about some amazing progress going in the world of Jailbreak. Few days back, we told you about the Untethered Jailbreak done by @i0n1c on his iPad 3 running iOS 5.1.1 and today @pod2g, the Chronic-Dev Team member actively working on the Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.1 on all devices announced on his Twitter account that he has made some significant progress regarding the Jailbreak for the New iPad. The progress is that he has managed the New iPad to run up Untethered Jailbreak on iOS 5.1.

    Another amazing thing is that, after stabilizing the Untethered Jailbreak for iPad 3, he will be moving onto iOS 5.1.1 to test the playload on it and make it Untethered Jailbreak on it also. Do remember that Apple released iOS 5.1.1 two days back. We also warned you that not to update to the new iOS, in order to retain the Untethered Jailbreak.

    The rapid progress of Untethered jailbreak with awesome news makes us feel that the heat is on and it will be coming soon to our devices later this month. At first @pod2g, did a poll on his web asking to wait for the iOS 6 and then burn the exploits or release the Jailbreak now for iOS 5.1 and burn the exploits. The winning option was to release the Jailbreak now and don’t wait for iOS 6.

    This means that the Untethered Jailbreak is being worked on success is on its way. Don’t forget to appreciate what @pod2g is doing. Do remember that he is doing for free and it will take time for him to come up with a proper Jailbreak for iOS 5.1 and iOS 5.1.1.

    The story hasn’t ended yet. If you got the SHSH Blobs for iPad 2, iPhone 4S, and the New iPad, you can downgrade your iDevice from newer version to previous one with the help of Redsn0w 0.9.11b1 which is on its way by @MuscleNerd. He is currently testing the procedure to make it safe for public use.

  • Downgrade iPhone 4S, iPad 2/3 With Redsn0w 0.9.11b1 Soon

    Downgrade iPhone 4S, iPad 2/3 With Redsn0w 0.9.11b1 Soon

    Finally some good news for those people owning an iPhone 4S, iPad 2, and iPad 3 having their SHSH Blobs saved for previous versions updated accidentally to newer iOS. In this case mostly iPhone 4S and iPad 2 users will be preferred with previous iOS 5.x.x SHSH Blobs. The good news is that, the way to downgrade iOS 5.1.1, 5.1, to older iOS version on these A5 and A5X Devices is coming really soon. We told you about the downgrade method discovered by ih8sn0w previously which was in works won’t be releasing because it had some legality issues. This time @MusceNerd, the iOS hacker and the Dev-Team Member got a new method by which we will be able to downgrade iPhone 4S, iPad 2, and iPad 3 to older iOS 5.x.x versions.

    Today @MuscleNerd Tweeted that he will be updating the most famous Jailbreaking tool Redsn0w to a newer version in which you people will be able to downgrade to older iOS versions with the help of previous SHSH Blobs saved.

    Upcoming redsn0w supports restoring, including iPad2/3 and 4S downgrades (with blobs)http://twitpic.com/9ixsqv ..Also stitches on the fly :)

     

    Another amazing thing about that Redns0w would be that you can stich the SHSH Blob into IPSW for future downgrade purpose also.

    Till now this method would only be useful for people updated accidentally on to later iOS 5.x.x version while having the previous versions SHSH Blobs. This method will work on every A5 and A5X Device with the previous SHSH Blobs. As far as iPad 3 is concerned, users can downgrade from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 5.1, only if they got the SHSH Blobs saved for the iPad 3.

    Once again, do remember that the SHSH Blobs are the main thing for this method to work. If you don’t have the SHSH Blobs, you are out of luck. Till now ETA has been told about this Redsn0w 0.9.11b1 release for Public. We assume that the release will be done in the upcoming weeks. Stay tuned with us.
