Not long after the official announcement of the second-generation iPad that runs on iOS 4.3, the front man of the Chronic Dev Team Joshua Hill (also known as p0sixninja) seems like preparing his SHAtter Bootrom exploit to jailbreak the upcoming iOS 4.3 running on iPad 2, as well as other iOS devices such as the iPhone 4 (GSM), iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 4G, iPod Touch 3G, and iPad 1.
Well, we all know that its predecessor first-gen iPad was jailbroken on iOS 4.2.1 and iOS 4.1 with Limera1n, Greenpois0n, Redns0w, Sn0wbreeze, and PwnageTool. And as expected, Apple patched up this exploit, which mean these tools will not work on iOS 4.3 and on iPad 2. However, back in October last year, p0sixninja and in collaboration with co-iPhone hacker pod2G developed the SHAtter exploit to jailbreak iOS 4.1 and they are all set to launch this exploit in the form of Greenpois0n, however, iPhone hacker GeoHot stepped in and released his Limera1n bootrom exploit to jailbreak iOS 4.1. So the Dev Team decided to save this exploit for future iOS devices.
Here’s the tweet by p0sixninja:
“We’re crossing our fingers and hoping that at least SHAtter is still in iPad2”
On the other hand, Apple recently seeded the final Gold Master version of iOS 4.3 to developers, and the final public of the iOS 4.3 will be release on the 11 of March, along with the iPad 2 - which will be available in black and white. In the meantime, let’s all hope the SHAtter exploit works on iOS 4.3. Stay tuned for more updates.
Greenpois0n RC6.1 has now been released and it is now available for download for both Mac OS X and Windows users. The hackers behind the Chronic Dev Team have just updated their Greenpois0n software jailbreak tool to version RC6.1 which now incorporates iBooks app fix that was developed co-iPhone hacker Comex.
Recently, iBooks Error was reported by numerous jailbroken iOS device users who complaining about the issue they experienced when try to open some of their purchased eBooks in the iBooks app. It is speculated that the Cupertino, California-based Apple is testing some anti-jailbreaking code to detect if an iOS is jailbroken or not, and this code is embedded on iBooks app. Fortunately, iPhone Dev Team’s Comex has figured it out and has solved the issue in the new updated version on GreenPois0n RC6.1.
Well, you can also configure the iBooks issue which the help of a new jailbreak app called iBooks Fix which can be downloaded for free in Cydia App Store.
For those who don’t know, just want to inform you that both PwnageTool 4.2 (Mac OS X) and Sn0wbreeze 2.2 (Windows) is now available for download and also incorporates Comex’s iBooks fix. So you can also use any of these three tools to fix iBooks issues. However if you rely on Ultrasn0w software carrier unlock, you should stay away from Greenpois0nm as it will update the baseband of your iPhone to unlockable baseband and you will lose the ability to unlock. But if just want to jailbreak I suggest using Greenpois0n because it is less confusing and fairly easy to use.
You can download Greenpois0n RC6.1 using this link. Stay tuned.
There have been a lot of hints that the next jailbreak solution for the iPhone 4 is almost ready. This new jailbreak solution will be available for the iPhone 4 and also the new iPod Touch and iPad using the iOS 4.1. There has been a lot of speculation as to the name of this new jailbreak solution and we are happy to announce that the new method is going to be known as GreenPois0n. This new jailbreak solution for the iOS 4.1 comes from the Chronic Dev-Team. If you have experience with jailbreaking then you probably already recognise this name. GreenPoison was the same tool that was previously used to jailbreak the iPhone OS 3.13 and the S 3.2 for the iPad.
A week after Apple released the iOS 4.1 to its users it seems like an iPhone 4 jailbreak is already on its way. There were some very positive Twitter messages by p0sixninja who is a member of the Chronic Dev-Team and he reported that the epic greenpois0n works well on the iPhone 4G but that work needs to be done on the framebuffer code. It all sounds very interesting and I’m sure we will be getting more updates in the days to come.
Once this new jailbreak goes live you will hear a lot more about it but for now it is great to know that the Chronic Dev-Team have been working hard and that their new jailbreak greenpois0n is in development and almost ready to be launched. You can keep your eye on the tweets from this team by following them on Twitter and of course we will keep you updated here as any more information comes our way. It is all good for iPhone 4 users and now with the indication that this new jailbreak for the iOS 4.1 will also work on the new iPod Touch and the iPad things are getting even better. Now you will be able to do what you like and install the apps that you want on all the latest Apple devices.
