As iPhone 4 is out for public as well as for Hackers. There is going to be a primetime of jailbreaks not only for iPhone 4 users but also for iPhone 3GS users [new bootrom] and iPod Touch 3G owners as well. We have previously discusses background of iPhone 4 jailbreak and some tools to accomplish the task. It was also discussed keeping in mind that new bootrom exploits will emerge and their release order.
Regarding iPhone 4 unlock and expected tools to accomplish, it looks like that ultasn0w to unlock iPhone 4 has delayed. This might be the same case for limesn0w which is expected to unlock iPhone 4 3GS on iOS 4.0.1. It was informed by GeoHot that he is not interested in releasing a jailbreak sooner which spoiled our wishes.
Another iPhone Hacker, @comex responded to GeoHot’s declaration as
you have GOT to be kidding me. that’s the dumbest thing I ever @geohot
Further, he informed that GeoHot may surprise us with his new tools which is observation of some other people as well.
Though certain people tell me geohot will probably turn around and pull out a surprise jailbreak…
This intrigued us to investigate more about the possible release date of limera1n/limesn0w although he stated for public that no jailbreak is coming. GeoHot recently delivered a talk in a security conference which he informed about the upcoming untethered jailbreak for iPhone 4 3GS and iPod Touch 3G/2G. After listening to his talk again and again, we found out that he describes his new jailbreak as [7:42-8:10]
“An unreleased exploit in every iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch in the bootrom gets *Some text Missing* If you seen I posted a picture of 4.0 jailbroken I posted my iPad jailbroken all before spirit was released and I used like a completely different set of exploits which may be when iPhone 4 comes out will be out”
Voila ! He hints about release of jailbreak for iPhone 4 3GS and iPod Touch [new bootrom exploit] to Hackers community which means that He has some bigger plans [limera1n] that are beging secret from Public. Now, we also believe that he is going to announce limera1n jailbreak for iPhone 4 3GS and iPod Touch soon which will be a surprise.
Update: planetbeing has successfully decrypted iPhone 4 bootrom which promises that iPhone Dev Team is now able to produce durable jailbreak for iPhone4.
Update: It was all prediction through analysis but a userland exploit has emerged for iPhone 4 Jailbreak as well as iPhone 3GS iOS 4 New bootrom Jailbreak. It might be released as updated version of Spirit Jailbreak.
