Jailbreaking the iOS 5

Posted by iunlock under Jailbreak on Wednesday Jun 15, 2011

It was the MuscleNerd team of the development team of iPhone which announce that the iOS 5 has been recently jailbroken. It was that fast since it has been just less than one whole day since Apple released the iOS 5 during the WWDC 2011 Keynote. It was through the tweet of MuscleNerd that this news broke out. The tweet also mentions that it works fine as seen through its fast testing.

 

It is at present considered to be a tethered jailbreak. This means that you have to connect your device which has iOS to a computer for your each reboot. There was also photos published on the version of the iPod Touch which has the iOS 5 program that is jailbroken already. The pictures revealed show the iSSH application installed plus the Cydia that runs perfectly on the iPod Touch 4G which has the iOS 5.

 

When Apple released the iOS 5, many were impressed with its new features. However, the concerns made were more into the jailbreaking aspect of the program. However, it was MuscleNerd who contested that this should not be seen as a problem at all. His exact answer to this issue was states as,

 

“over the air delta updates of iOS should be fine for JBers (even if Apple didn’t let you disable them, the JB itself can”

 

Watch out for more updates whenever there are any which includes new feature news on the program and other secret jailbreaking techniques that you may want to discover and know.

Sn0wbreeze 2.3 for iOS 4.3 For iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch Released

Posted by unlocker under Jailbreak on Monday May 30, 2011

Sn0wbreeze is considered as the unofficial PwnageTool for Windows. The iPhone Dev Team is about to release the PwnageTool to jailbreak iOS 4.3 of Mac users.

Recently, iH8sn0w just released Sn0wbreeze 2.3b1 for Windows. The Sn0wbreeze 2.3b1 also allows people to jailbreak and unlock their iPhone and to update their iPhone with a pre-jailbroken iOS 4.3 firmware while preserving the baseband from getting upgraded so that it can be unlocked using Ultrasn0w.

Sn0wbreeze 2.3 allows users to create custom iOS 4.3 firmware file that is pre-jailbroken, which can be used to upgrade their iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch to iOS 4.3. If you are using iPhone, it also has the ability to preserve the baseband from being upgraded so that you can unlock it using Ultrasn0w through the “Baseband Preservation Mode,” which is applicable on iPhone 4 users on baseband 01.59.00 or earlier and iPhone 3G/iPhone 3GS users on baseband 05.13.04 or earlier.

The Sn0wbreeze 2.3 supports devices such as iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, Verizon iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G, iPod Touch 3G and iPad. Users will have to use iBooty to boot into jailbroken state (which is installed on your desktop after running Sn0wbreeze 2.3) if for whatever reason they need to reboot their iOS device as Sn0wbreeze 2.3 only supports tethered jailbreak.

The Sn0wbreeze 2.3 is still in beta so expect it to be not in its finest form. t is also important to note that Mobile Substrate is currently broken in iOS 4.3 so jailbreak tweaks such as WinterBoard, Lockdown etc will not work.
