Despite numerous problems and unrelenting deadlines @comex has come through yet again with another fantastic jailbreak! When an unfinished beta of the latest iPad2 jailbreak was leaked, we all new that the window for this exploit was rapidly closing. Apple simply cannot allow userland exploits to exist (for obvious reasons). I am delighted that all the iPhone-dev guys got their act together and released. What are you waiting for JailbreakMe.com.

Ever since @pod2g discovered a new bootrom exploit we’ve all been patiently waiting for an update to our favorite tools.   Well, @MuscleNerd announced today that a beta of PwnageTool has already been developed to utilize the exploit.   @chronicdevteam has tools in the works as well.  Though i anxiously await the release of @greenpois0n, it is PwnageTool that will allow me to update my iPhone4 without endangering my baseband and killing my unlock.

What does this mean to you?  well, i’ll tell you since you asked.  It means that EVERY iOS devise ALL A4 devices (iPhone 4, Tough 4g, iPad, Apple TV 2) will be jailbreakable regardless of iOS version.  This is good news for anyone who “accidentally” updated or who purchased their device after apple fixed the jailbreakme.com exploit.  Now although this exploit cannot be fixed with an iOS update, it is still very important to back up your shsh blobs to ensure that you can utilize the tools that all these guys have worked so hard on.  Don’t get too excited.  No new baseband exploit has yet been announced, so all you unlockers running 4.0.2 or greater are still doomed.  lets hope they’re sitting on one for 4.2 or it’s going to be a cold and lonely winter.

New iOS versions today. as usual, stay away if you like unlocks. I thought I’d have more time to back up my blobs (still waiting for delivery). I hope this doesn’t effect my jailbreakability. I’d hate to have a new phone that I can’t use due to software limitations.

UPDATE:
@comex reports that there is no significant change in 4.0.1 and nothing exploit, jailbreak, or unlock related was effected.

The media keeps reporting an iPad security leak. it’s not iPad security leak!  it has very little to do with the iPad.  it’s at$t’s security leak!  it’s only that it solely effected owners of 3g iPads with data plan with at$t. all the media cares about is iPad.  point the blame where it is due!  Security of your user’s private info must be a serious concern for all companies.

Just a few days after acquiring my new Blu-ray burner, i’m already transcoding my first HD movie. After an hour to rip, i must wait nearly 3 hours to transcode. i don’t know why i expected it to be more difficult then it was.   Perhaps i should wait to see the output before making such a boast.  Before you cry DMCA, remember that fair use allows me to make any additional copies of media that are required to play it. How else am i supposed to play Prestige on my iPad in HD?  don’t answer that.  We’ll let the lawyers fight it out.

I finally picked it up! Backed up my blob and jailbroke it, all before leaving the mall. They were out of cases and every accessory i wanted, but i am excited to get this home and start the real fun. Big thanks to zay and all my other elves who worked to make this happen for me.

download it now!  developers are still catching up, so not everything is compatible with 3.2.

Spirit, the new jailbreak for ALL the latest apple toys is about to be released! BACKUP your blobs! expect an apple update immediately following the release! Spirit could be released as soon as tomorrow! To summarize, Spirit is an untethered jailbreak for all iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads.

you only need to backup your blobs if you have one of the newest devices like iPhone 3gs, the Touch 3gen, and any iPad. If you’ve been avoiding a jailbreak, you can use Umbrella to backup the pertinent info without modifying the device. I’ll write up a howto when I get a sec, but there are plenty out there.

it didn’t take them long. . .   Spoiler Alert – the keyboard is still on when he folds it in half.

perhaps sooner then we thought.  Gizmodo got a invite to a iPhone 4.0 sneak peak on April 8th.  i’d recommend that everyone back up their shsh blobs!  iPad and other users don’t even have to jailbreak.  Umbrella lets you do it without modifying your devise.

iPad users will only have to wait a little longer.  @Musclenerd, @comex, and others have demonstrated root code execution on the iPad, so a jailbreak could be released any day.  Fortunately we won’t have to wait much longer, as a release is expected shortly following the anticipated 4.0 release.
