RedSn0w and Corona have been updated to resolve a launchctl related error experienced after jailbreaking, thanks to help from saurik and planetbeing.

The b2 version of redsn0w includes the launchctl-related fix by @planetbeing as mentioned by @saurik here and here. As usual, you can just re-run redsn0w in jailbreak mode over your existing 5.0.1 jailbreak (even a PwnageTool one), making sure to de-select “Install Cydia” if you do. Always be sure to do a controlled “slide to power off” shutdown of your device before running redsn0w.

So the new untethered jailbreak is out and well your feeling lazy. You don’t want to get your USB cable and you don’t want to go through the whole redsn0w DFU process and blah, blah, blah.

Have no fear ‘Corona’ is here and no we aren’t talking about the (8) Coronas / Beer. Chronic Dev Team has made things very simple for those of you that have a Jailbroken iOS device but are having to boot tethered and watch your battery hourly. Read more…

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…

MuscleNerd recently tweeted to Pod2G, that he thinks GeoHotz will be releasing an untethered jailbreak for newer A4 iDevices after February 10th.

Could this mean that GeoHotz will be releasing the rumored RubyRa1n jailbreaking tool? I really don’t know but this is the second time MuscleNerd has tweeted about GeoHotz having an untethered jailbreak for newer iDevices (the first time being in the beginning of January). 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…
