    MuscleNerd one of key members of the Dev Team has confirmed via his twitter the possibility of jailbreak future on iOS 5, and no matter the fact that it will be a tethered solution at least initially, but the Jailbreak community will love to have their hands on it.

    iOS 5 beta is available for developers, with public release planned for this fall.

  • iPad 2 Jailbreak Is Waiting For An Elevat0r

    // Gradly // Apple, blog, Featured, iPad, Jailbreak, News, Rants & Raves, Rumors, Twitter No Responses

    iPad 2 is the only iDevice left with no jailbreak available yet and as the Jailbreak community seem rushed to figure out a rigid exploit, one of them, Stefan Esser a.k.a @i0n1c, a well known security guy among the jailbreak team, has recently thrown the word “Elevat0r” and began to tease a series of tweets since a month ago and apparently this is an iPad 2 jailbreak exploit. Stefan Esser has successfully found an exploit in iOS 4.3.1 which once again used in subsequent iOS 4.3.2 and iOS 4.3.3.

    To tie the loosing ends, a new website elevat0r.com has surfaced and, interestingly, it says:

    “Is an elevator arriving soon?

    This website is dedicated to all those iPad 2 that are waiting for an elevator…
    If your iPad 2 is waiting for an elevator don’t hesitate to share a photo of it with the rest of the world.”

    And for more ambiguity they put another statement at the bottom which read:

    “This website is not about an iPad 2 jailbreak, it is about photos of waiting iPad 2 only.”

    The website is full of iPad 2 images showing a real elevator and it seems Stefan is waiting for 1000 images to be submitted before he reveals the expected jailbreak. He tweeted:

    Wonder how many days it will take to get 1000 submissions for http://elevat0r.com

    Do you think that Elevat0r is the upcoming iPad 2 jailbreak/exploit?

  • iOS 4.3.1 Untethered Jailbreak is Getting Closer

    // Gradly // Apple, blog, iPad, iPhone, Jailbreak, Rants & Raves No Responses

    There’s an eerie quiet among the folks taking the lead in the jailbreaking community, demos have been demonstrated, and tweets have been tweeted.

    To tide us over, previously Stefan Esser has delivered his untethered iOS 4.3.1 jailbreak solution to iPhone Dev Team. Now MuscleNerd dropped a few hints about the imminence of the Dev Team’s new version of RedSn0w and PwnageTool; each will support 4.3.1. The upcoming untethered 4.3.1 will work on all iOS devices except for iPad 2.

    MuscleNerd has announced this in a series of tweets. This is what he has said on his Twitter account:

    @kunalshaha his untether will be in both redsn0w and PwnageTool forms

    @branz1 remember, i0n1c’s untether doesn’t cover iPad2 yet…so must still wait for a legal method to distribute comex’s 4.3 JB for iPad 2

    As we already know iPhone Dev Team is beta testing on the exploit originally developed by Stefan Esser. Hopefully they will release Redsn0w 0.9.8 both for Mac and Windows users.
