We recently reported that ex-Chronic Dev Team member pod2g tweeted out that he found an untether bug for iOS 5.

Other than the information given previously, it is unknown on how far he’s gotten as well as when we can expect public release. Although he’s remained MIA for the last couple of months or so, he seems to be actively keeping us updated on what’s in store. Eight hours ago, he tweeted out a warning to those who want to update to iOS 5.0.1 upon release. Read more…

  The iPhone Dev-Team is demonstrating an preliminary jailbreak that works on the iPhone 4S and iPad 2. As many of you already gotten the new iPhone 4S iPhone, I’m sure you can’t wait for the “untethered” Jailbreak for this device.

I’m very happy with this version of the iPhone and I really do think it will change EVERYTHING once again. Especially once we get the Jailbreak for it. Here is what MuscleNerd had to say about this upcoming jailbreak. Read more…

Hey guys, sorry for not keeping you up to date on some of the new stuff that came out this week… I have been extremely busy at work and home as well. Anyways, here is what’s new that might be good for all you Apple TV Users out there.

On Friday the 18th, The Chronic Dev-Team has released this minor update to Greenpois0n that brings a fix for iBooks and the Apple TV 2G Wi-Fi bug to public so it’s available for download.

Hey guys, as promised here is a detailed GreenPois0n RC5 iOS 4.2.1 Untethered Jailbreak Tutorial on how to Jailbreak iOS 4.1 iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod Touch 3G and 4G and of course the iPad with this tool.

First thing you need to do is Update your iPhone and / or iPod Touch to iOS 4.2.1. Remember: Do not update to iOS 4.2.1 if you need the unlock. Ultrasn0w does not support that baseband yet. The only exception is the iPhone 4. You can update to iOS 4.2.1 without upgrading your baseband by following this tutorial. (VERIZON iPhone 4 Users Disregard This message… This note is for GSM iPhones ONLY / AT&T)

These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch 3G (3rd Generation) and 4G (4th Generation) using GreenPois0n RC5 iOS 4.2.1 Untethered Jailbreak for Windows. Greenpois0n supports the iOS 4.1 and iOS 4.2.1 firmware. for iPhone 4, iPad, iPod Touch 3G and 4G iOS 4.2.1 which you can find here. in our Firmware Download Section. (NOTE: Please make sure you download the right file/firmware for the right device) Read more…

Ok, so here is what I have for you today.. It appears GreenPois0n RC5 will be bringing untethered jailbreak to iOS 4.2.1 sooner rather than we all thought and will support all devices.

Here is why. Apple has now closed the loophole hackers have been using up until iOS 4.3.

Now there’s obviously no point in waiting for the new update to be released it’s been decided that GreenPois0n will go ahead as-is, with a new attempt at 4.3 to be made later.There are a lot of good news for all of us, TRUST ME!!! Keep reading… Read more…

The Chronic Dev-Team has announced an untether for the iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak. Chronic Dev Team have just released a new video which shows full untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 in action.

The untether is demoed in the video below. It’s a result of a collaboration between @0naj, @p0sixninja, and @pod2g. P0sixninja has previously said it will not require iOS 4.2b3 SHSH blobs.

Pod2g notes that a small bug remains where the wifi icon doesn’t show up. Once fixed they will package the untether for release. Read more…

On January 12th, Italian site contacted Comex to ask him about whether he is going to wait for Verizon iPhone 4 to launch, and the next iOS release, that is iOS 4.3 / 4.2.5 before releasing his untethered jailbreak.

Comex swiftly replied that one month is too long a wait to keep the long-awaited untethered jailbreak from releasing. But Comex may wait for the release of the Verizon iPhone before releasing his untether, according to a tweet he sent on January 12th. Read more…

Hey guys, yet another version of the Redsn0w 0.9.7 Beta 6 was released by the iPhone Dev-Team and this version fixes all Skype related issues which were hampering users ever since the first beta of this untethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak.

The iPhone Dev-Team has updated RedSn0w to fix issues with Skype after performing the ‘backup plan’ untether.

The sixth beta is now available (testers ONLY please!). This version fixes Skype (and as expected all along, the Skype issue turns out to be unrelated to sandbox patches). Please do not pirate the 4.2b3 IPSW! Only those enrolled in the iPhone Developer program have legitimate access to that IPSW using these links (the links won’t work unless you’re a legit developer currently logged in). Read more…

Instead of releasing another tethered version (like Redsn0w 0.9.6) of GreenPois0n for iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak, members of Chronic Dev have decided to work on their own untethered solution for iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak.

The Chronic Dev-Team is working on their own untether for the iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak that will not require iOS4.2b3 SHSH blobs, according to tweets made today by p0sixninja.

When asked if it is the same exploit as the one Comex has been working on, and whether or not it will require SHSH blobs for 4.2b3 like Redsn0w 0.9.7. Joshua said that they are working on their own untethered exploit, and that it will not require SHHS blobs for 4.2b3. Read more…

This is very interesting, I think GeoHot is starting to surface again with another Jailbreak Solution called Rubyra1n which will be Untethered.

According to a recent tweet from MuscleNerd (iPhone Dev-Team) it looks like GeoHot actually has “Untethered” solution for iOS 4.2.1 but it doesn’t cover ALL Apple devices.

Also, GeoHot (a.k.a. George Hotz) had registered a domain named rubyra1n.com, which is now a discussion subject. He registered the domain via GoDaddy back on March 27th 2010.

What’s even more interesting is this: limera1n.com and rubyra1n.com were BOTH registered on the same day. (see Whois Info below) Read more…
