iPhone OS 4 jailbreak released...

[fgghjjkll]

MuscleNerd, a member of the infamous iPhone DevTeam has released redsn0w 0.9.5 beta, the first iPhone OS 4 jailbreak. But hold on folks, there's a catch! According to the dev:

This is a beta release of redsn0w targeted at developers of jailbroken apps. It uses the same pwnage2 DFU-mode exploit that we've been using since the 2.x days. Nothing new is revealed to Apple, and it's not applicable to the iPad. Don't go near it if you use yellowsn0w, ultrasn0w, or blacksn0w.

Please not that this beta is not meant for the average end-user. There are many things “broken” with jailbroken apps in the 4.0beta1 environment right now (that's the real reason we showed “Veency” in the 4.0 jailbreak demo video last week, instead of say MobileTerminal.app, which is broken!). This beta redsn0w allows the developers behind those jailbroken apps (like MobileTerminal.app!) to fix their software before the general public gets iphoneOS 4.0.

Because it's meant for JB app developers, this beta redsn0w does not perform hactivation. You'll need a properly-registered developer UDID with Apple to get past the activation screen. For similar reasons, there is no Windows version of this beta redsn0w (since apps are developed on MacOSX). Please don't pirate Apple software.

This beta release only supports for now:

QUOTE

• iPhone 3G
• Mac OSX
• iPhone 4.0 beta 1

I wonder if they plan on an untethered OS3 release (I've always preferred using redsn0w over Blackra1n)

Glad they're doing this. Means compatible versions of the various Jailbreak applications may be ready and in working order by time 4.0 is out for the rest of us.

they need to release the untethered jailbreak for 3gs.

Or, if Apple haven't figured out the method they're going to use, they could wait a few more months for the release of the next iPhone so that it may have an untethered jailbreak for its release.

 

[Assassination]

Hm. thats seem reasonable. You guys have any news on the iphone 4g.

 

[DeMoN]

they need to release the untethered jailbreak for 3gs.

They need to release a god damn tethered or untethered jailbreak for iPod touch 3G and MC-models.

If they do that, we'll likely be locked out in OS 4.0 + new hardware. Wait.
