Jailbreak

The iPhone Dev Team has released their jailbreak tools for iOS 4.3.1, thanks to i0n1c. You can use PwnageTool (or sn0wbreeze from iH8sn0w) or redsn0w to perform your jailbreak. During the restore process in iTunes, I previously had issues with a frozen restore state. My iPhone would restore to just near the end (about 95%...

Here's a brief tutorial on how to jailbreak your iPhone on iOS 4.3.3 with PwnageTool. You...

The following tutorial will help you jailbreak your iPhone, iPad (not iPad 2), and iPod touch. The steps are pretty much the same for each device since they all run iOS.

Update 1: MuscleNerd just sent out the following tweet: ultrasn0w unlockers remember: please stay away until we get a chance to fix the problems 4.3.1 has with older basebands So if you're thinking of using the latest ultrasn0w update, my advice is to wait at least 24-72 hours before proceeding, as it's a guarantee that...

Stay tuned: Yesterday, i0n1c teased us with his untether exploit for download (it was an AES encrypted .zip file), and tonight he seems to be hinting at something...

The last time we heard from Muscle Nerd of the iPhone Dev Team, he had i0n1c's untether exploit and declared it was 'solid'. This afternoon on twitter i0n1c 'released' his untether exploit, but quickly pulled it. The untether.zip file he dangled to users has an AES encrypted password, which he 'forgot'. He went on to...

Yesterday we were first to report that i0n1c had handed over his untether to The iPhone Dev Team. We know that MuscleNerd has been working with the exploit via his twitter stream. He has confirmed that the exploit is 'solid' and they are dealing with jailbreak and Cydia issues. MuscleNerd Crushes 'Is there a Spy...

The iPhone Dev Team is now currently working with i0n1c's untether exploit, as mentioned on twitter: Stefan (i0n1c) goes on to mention to not bother the iPhone Dev Team.

Today, he uploaded a video showing an untethered iOS 4.3.1 jailbreak on his iPod touch 4G, accomplished via sn0wbreeze 2.4. @i0n1c used sn0wbreeze for the tethered jailbreak, then installed his untether exploit via SSH. It was very unlikely that Apple also...

Charlie Miller is no stranger to exploiting iOS on the iPhone. We earlier reported that Charlie won the Pwn2Own challenge in Vancouver for exploiting an iPhone 4 (he's won it three years in a row). With yesterday's release of iOS 4.3.1, it was wide expected that the exploits revealed in Pwn2Own would be covered up...
