Apple Complete iOS Jailbreak Guide

[Dialexio]

ROM is ROM, guys. Apple cannot patch the vulnerability in existing devices unless they did a mass recall of devices (never gonna happen). It's just the application that's dead (thanks to changes made in recent iTunes updates... which probably were not meant to target limera1n).

If you hear about a new bootrom, that will probably have a fix for the limera1n exploit.

 

[Jamstruth]

We weren't saying that it was patched for older devices but a new hardware revision had been made to patch it.
If its an iTunes patch to the drivers to block its use for now then we're fine

 

[Dialexio]

I see... Though two months isn't nearly enough time for Apple to ship a fixed bootrom; it did take them ~6 months to ship a fix for 24kpwn. Plus, when Apple was selling devices with 24kpwn fixed, the devices also carried new model numbers and new bootrom versions.

(NOTE: Model numbers aren't a reliable method to determine the iPhone 3GS bootrom because Apple has a tendency to spruce up repaired/returned iPhones and sell them as new.)

I will mod an ipod touch with 4.2.1 soon and will like to know which is better to use pwnage tool or redsn0w?

pwnagetool is for mac which makes custom .ipsw for unlocking purposes and redsn0w is for mac and pc which jailbreaks devices (redsn0w does unlock but it requires you to update your baseband)

 

[Red_Gh0st]

I don't have a MAC so will need to use redsn0w.

But baseband? What the heck is that?

oh im very sorry i didn't read you post carefully (soz)
no ipods don't have a baseband (which is the modem firmare on the about page under settings: but you won't find it unless you have a iphone)

if you want a custom .ipsw (so that you can get all the stuff in one firmware file ie apps) use sn0wbreeze as an alternative.
or use redsn0w which would be a teathered jailbreak.

 

[Red_Gh0st]

But by looking at the tut there's no way to jailbreak 4.2.1 using sn0wbreeze or am I wrong?

Also what's the difference bettween tethered and unthetered?

sorry for my dumb questions

^Sn0wbreeze doesn't work on 4.2.1.
@richardsito, what iPod model do you have? (to find out if you will be tethered)

Also, anyone know what the heck a PB model is?

Edit: Tethered means that you need to rejailbreak your device everytime you turn it on. Otherwise, you get stuck at the Apple logo on boot.

Guys, I won't be updating the guide for a little while (Dialexio probably will)

Since I am now on vacation. I will still be here time to time to help though

he hasn't got it yet but he wants the newer ipod touch 4

@metamaster PB & MB are exactly the same, PB is simply the engraved model

Quick Question: Any news on the untethered 4.2.1 JB for newer devices?

 

[Red_Gh0st]

@metamaster

The latest ipod touch 4g it will be brand new

comex is still working on it. however Musclenerd has a backup plan just in case

 

[metamaster]

A new jailbreak is rumored to come out before Christmas. A new untethered userland exploit has been found by Comex, but another jailbreak requiring 4.2b3 SHSH blobs is being made. I have no idea which one is planned to be released before Christmas.

@Dter ic: Thanks

 

[Dialexio]

The untethered jailbreak that doesn't use 4.2b3 SHSHs is the preferred route.

 

[Red_Gh0st]

thanks guys. now i'll just wait for the itouch

 

[Red_Gh0st]

I bought a new itouch that came with 4.1. I assume I should use limera1n, right?

What's an iTouch?

I recommend using greenpoison.
And yes, it will work.

 

[Red_Gh0st]

What's the difference?

limera1n looks so simple
