Well we are happy to report that there is some good news on this front and Pod2g has confirmed that work is ongoing on a jailbreak for iOS 7. In a tweet by Pod2g, who is a prominent member of the Evad3rs team, it was stated work is ongoing as regards having a jailbreak for iOS 7. Apple seeded iOS 7 GM download to developers last week and this saw the Evad3rs team actively begin their investigations into the final version of iOS 7 to see which of their exploits worked and which ones didn't. Judging by Pod2g's tweet, progress is definitely being made and if you are someone who is looking forward to a jailbreak on Apple's latest firmware release then this really is good news. We should also mention, that if you are currently using a jailbreak on iOS 6 and you want to keep your untethered jailbreak, you should refrain from updating to iOS 7 when Apple releases it later this week. Despite progress being made on the the jailbreak for iOS 7, there is no ETA on its release and everyone is advised to wait for more confirmation before updating their software. As with all new releases of Apple's iOS, we do have to be patient and hope that a jailbreak will be released as quickly as possible. The good news for everyone is that it is being actively worked on and we will be bring you the updates as soon as we get them.

Update On iOS 6.1.3 Jailbreak For iPhone 5

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwglH9GW-KRX7OIXUQPJ6WVA3gQK5wMoDSNljBCfLAjZX-2SlRLqqAXGXJyWRTWEkn6PFxTdwf9b03KyybrvqELpgAKNuZHEgwx3Q611Kx20Ic3ZvUJA2Q1Tqq-va0hlZ7RnbIYhwZNDo/s1600/ios+6.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwglH9GW-KRX7OIXUQPJ6WVA3gQK5wMoDSNljBCfLAjZX-2SlRLqqAXGXJyWRTWEkn6PFxTdwf9b03KyybrvqELpgAKNuZHEgwx3Q611Kx20Ic3ZvUJA2Q1Tqq-va0hlZ7RnbIYhwZNDo/s320/ios+6.jpg" /></a>Following the news that Apple had plugged the Evasi0n untethered jailbreak for all A5 devices such as the iPhone 5, iPad and other new devices when they released iOS 6.1.3 people have been wondering what to do. This new firmware release meant it was back to square one for those purchasing new devices. Anybody who is running iOS 6.1.2 or earlier can jailbreak their device but not on iOS 6.1.3. There is no untethered jailbreak just yet for the new firmware but we have seen plenty of encouraging signs for future firmware releases. Devices on A4 or earlier firmware can still enjoy a tethered jailbreak for iOS 6.1.3 using Redsn0w as these devices are still susceptible to the Limera1n exploit and always will be. The first hope of an untethered jailbreak similar to Evasi0n for iOS 6.1.3 was found by ex-Chronic Dev Team member P0sixninja and while his findings and those of Evad3rs member Pod2g have been encouraging, both have stated that they will probably save what they have discovered for a more significant firmware version such as iOS 7. This was confirmed on both their Twitter accounts earlier today. While this news may be somewhat disheartening to those stuck on iOS 6.1.3, the Evasi0n jailbreak did afford everyone ample time to sort their devices out on iOS 6 and apply the untethered jailbreak while they could. The takeaway news here is that those who are on iOS 6.1.3 are very unlikely to see an untethered jailbreak and the next major release expected is to be iOS 7 which should be released sometime between July and September. If you are waiting on an untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.1.3 then you might just have to wait for iOS 7 first.

Pod2g And Planetbeing Now Working On iPhone 5 Untethered Jailbreak For iOS 6 / 6.0.1

We have just been informed that both Pod2g and Planetbeing are now working on the long awaited iOS 6 / 6.0.1 jailbreak. There are so many people who have purchased the iPhone 5 or upgraded their existing handsets to iOS 6 and now after months of waiting for a jailbreak solution it seems that things are looking up. Planetbeing has been updating the public via his twitter feed over the past couple of months and today a new tweet from him suggests that he is making progress and working with Pod2g. According to his tweets, Planetbeing spent last friday with Pod2g where they have finally ironed out a working untethered jailbreak for iOS 6. His tweet said, �Made some nice progress today with @pod2g. I think I'll try to reward myself with a nap.� Pod2g responsed this morning which confirms that he is involved with the untethered jailbreak for iOS 6. He said, �@planetbeing oh yeah! 2 new vulnerabilities in a day, chance was with us. But we still miss that initial code execution for a public jb.� Earlier this month, Planetbeing confirmed that he has a working iOS 6 jailbreak running on his iPhone 5. The tweets today suggest that all they are missing now is an initial code execution for a public jailbreak. Jailbreaking has become increasingly over the past couple of years and this is especially true on new devices. Pod2g's involvement in the iPhone 5 jailbreak is great news for the community and it could mean that a public iOS 6 untethered jailbreak is just around the corner. It is important to note that iOS 6.1 is nearly upon us and it is likely that the Dev Teams will wait for Apple to release it before they release any untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 5 and newer devices. The wait is almost over and we will be keeping you up to date with all the information as we receive it.

Why Are We Still Waiting For An Untethered iOS 6 Jailbreak?

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7kY-me5UfZmGwTIa9nXm9q2V_lJ68VcOFTqTX0T1EL7T3vUDWhnNlPAjb9UWklS3-RO5XrRpTh4zBspLCjb7giApdOFdLar1DqnhDmHVfC7AiFpJ2HPzoSJTondGG7XbZtsbKnsavc4A/s1600/ios+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="143" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7kY-me5UfZmGwTIa9nXm9q2V_lJ68VcOFTqTX0T1EL7T3vUDWhnNlPAjb9UWklS3-RO5XrRpTh4zBspLCjb7giApdOFdLar1DqnhDmHVfC7AiFpJ2HPzoSJTondGG7XbZtsbKnsavc4A/s320/ios+6.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>The iPhone 5 along with iOS 6 was released back in September and the question on many people's lips is, why are we still waiting for an untethered iPhone 5 jailbreak? We hear you on this one and are happy to try and provide the answers. One of the reasons that it takes so long for a jailbreak to be released has to be linked to the team that are working on the jailbreak. With the release of iOS 6 this timeframe has dramatically expanded. There could very well be a problem in finding all teh exploits that the Dev Teams need in order to prepare the long awaited iOS 6 jailbreak tool. This tool when released to the public needs to be user friendly. At the moment, there is an iOS 6 jailbreak available for iPhone 4 users but this is a tethered jailbreak solution which means if the phone battery dies or the phone needs to be rebooted for any other reason, it can only be done when connected to a PC. An untethered jailbreak allows users to reboot their iPhone as normal which is why it is the preferred choice. Going back to the iPhone 5 jailbreak, we are happy to report that PlanetBeing is in possession of an untethered iPhone 5 jailbreak running on iOS 6.0.2. We do however have to wait for this private jailbreak to be tweaked and worked out in order to make it available to the public. We are hoping that the news of Pod2g's return to the jailbreaking community will help to speed this up. It could be that we will have to wait for the release of iOS 6.1 before we get an untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 5 and iOS 6. Until then, we will keep the news rolling and provide updates as soon as we receive them.

Untethered Jailbreak For iOS 5.1.1 On Its Way

It looks like Pod2g is working hard on this and keeping people updated on the progress being made. Pod2g has been updating everyone via his official blog and has been answering some of the most frequently asked questions received by jailbreakers who are concerned by the new firmware release. Pod2g has stressed to the public that creating a user-friendly, workable tool can take quite some time and it needs to be testes thoroughly before being released. The good news for those waiting on the iOS 5.1.1 jailbreak is that it will be compatible with the latest iOS devices on iOS 5.1.1 such as the iPhone 4S/4, iPad 3/2, iPod Touch 4 and the second generation Apple TV. The 3rd generation Apple TV does seem to be out of look for now as do all the older generation devices such as the iPhone 3G and the 3rd generation iPod Touch. One of the main reasons that this untethered jailbreak solution for iOS 5.1.1 has been drawn out is due to testing. The dev teams have to ensure that they include support for all compatible devices which is at the moment sixteen different models. Pod2g does mention on his blog that we would expect to see a new release within the next couple of weeks. He has stated that the public need to be patient and that an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1 will happen soon. We will of course keep you updated and as soon as we have a release date or any further information it will be posted here.

Towards the end of 2011 you will remember that iOS users were treated to two great jailbreaks in the form of Corona for A4 devices and Absinthe for the dual core iPad 2 and iPhone 4S devices. Normally when Apple releases an update and a new device most of the Dev Teams have to go back to the drawing board and begin picking holes in the iOS firmware again. Pod2g has been very busy lately and he discovered two significant vulnerabilities and has been putting this information to good use by jailbreaking his iOS 5.1 iPhone 4 fully untethered. This was revealed on his Twitter account today. No other details have been released and no screenshots have as yet been provided. All we have is his Twitter announcement so we have to wait for further word from the man himself on when this new untethered jailbreak for iPhone 4 will be available. We are really excited though and we believe that all devices should have an untethered jailbreak so that all iOS users can reap the benefits of the apps and tweaks being made available through the Cydia store. If you have an A4 such as the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS etc you can jailbreak it now using Redsn0w or Sn0wbreeze for a tethered jailbreak on iOS 5.1. If on the other hand you are the owner of a new A5 and A5X device such as the iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and the new iPad you will have to wait until this new tool by Pod2g has been released.

The timescales for this release are indeed shortening and a public release could happen at any time. Every blog and twitter update signals that Pod2g and his dream team of developers are winning their battle against the A5 devices. This whole process began back in November last year and judging by the amount of retweets and replies that each update receives, the jailbreak community is waiting in anticipation of A5 liberation. The people that have been involved in this process have been drip feeding information to the community whenever a goal has been reached or a problem has occurred. This jailbreak journey really has been one of the most transparent in jailbreak history with Pod2g really doing a great job of keeping his fans in the loop. Recent updates from Pod2g have included a video which shows the iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0.1 with an untethered jailbreak. Now we have perhaps the shortest ever blog post by Pod2g which just showed an image and four words. It showed a picture of an iPad 2 with Cydia 1.1.3 running full screen and clearly showing that it is running on iOS 5.0.1. The post simply said, �no more to say!�, and this clearly showed that the net really is closing in and a release of the jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 is now imminent.

Those of you who are running iOS 5.0.1 can now enjoy an untethered jailbreak 5.0.1 using this exploit. A tethered jailbreak has been available all along using both Sn0wbreeze and Redsn0w but now it seems as if the full untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 has finally arrived. You may not know this but Pod2g's progress only applies to devices running on the older A4 chip so this is available for the iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch. Many users did infact stick with iOS 4.3.3 or previous to enjoy their untethered freedom that was given to them by Comex or the Chronic Dev Team, but now those users can download the latest iOS firmware complete with the Notification Centre and more. Sn0wbreeze which is a very popular Windows only jailbreak utility for creating custom iOS firmware with preserved basebands, has now been updated to jailbreak untethered which is great news and you can find plenty of great tutorials on how to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 untethered using Sn0wbreeze. For Mac users it is worth noting that the PwnageTool has also been updated which means these users can also enjoy an untethered iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak. If you are looking to unlock your iDevice many of the newer basebands are simply too tough to crack at the moment so it is worth noting that both Sn0wbreeze and PwnageTool can help with baseband preservation which will allow you to use Ultrasn0w to unlock your device. If you are running an A5 device such as the iPhone 4S or iPad 2 you will have to wait a little longer to see a jailbreak as these devices are proving quite difficult for the modders and dev teams to infiltrate. A lot of progress has been made on the A5 front so hopefully it won't be too long before there is an untethered jailbreak available for the iPhone 4S and the iPad 2 running iOS 5.0.1.

Well it seems that significant progress is being made on this jailbreak and we want to bring you the latest news. Pod2g has taken his research and development as far as he can and he is now collaborating with members of the Chronic and iPhone Dev teams to complete what he has started. He recently released an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 on older generation devices so this is the next step. We have already seen Pod2g's work in the updated version of Redsn0w and in the Corona utility on Cydia so things are really looking up. Unfortunately though for iPhone 4S and iPad 2 owners the teams have been unable to release an untethered iOS 5 jailbreak for these devices because they don't have the relevant exploits to inject the untethered files. The exploit that has been used to jailbreak the developers test devices requires the use of an official developer account and this means it cannot be released to the public. For all those anxiously waiting for news of this new jailbreak it appears that MuscleNerd is also in on the action as well as Cydia Founder Jay Freeman aka Saurik and they have been posting updates via Twitter. It looks like progress is being made and they are hoping to have the A5 jailbreak available as soon as possible. As soon as we have any further updates we will be sure to let you know.

This A4 only exploit is now released to the public and pod2g has explained in a blog post exactly what Corona is, what it does and how it has sped up the process of finding an untethered jailbreak.</div> It has previously been the userland exploit that hackers were using in order to breach the stringent iOS security structure. With the iOS 5.0.1 release, Apple has patched all the pre-existing userland holes. This meant that pod2g and other hackers had to look for other ways to deliver jailbreaks. If you are not familiar with the jargon used in software development you might find the explanation below a little difficult to comprehend. Pre-iOS 5, security researchers used to include the untethered payload as a data page, rather than a code page in the Mach-O binary. The Mach-O loader never bothered checking the authenticity which was great when hackers were looking for security flaws. ROP enabled the execution of code to occur by using signed code in the dyld cache as opposed to writing new executable code. Techniques discovered by the likes of Comex enabled ROP to be started by the Mach-O loader. Now that Apple has upped its security game, data pages now require signature via their servers in order for the loader to authenticate the binary. @i0n1c has demonstrated ways of passing through the verification process and this method could possibly be used in an iOS 5.1 jailbreak. With the Corona exploit, pod2g looked for a way to initialize unsigned code without using the Mach-O loader, looking for flaws in the existing Apple binaries that could be found using standard launched plist mechanisms. By using a fuzzer he discovered a format string vulnerability in theracoon configuration parsing code. In order to apply the jailbreak at boot, racoon is started by a launched plist file which then executes the file which exploits the format string bug and gets the unsigned code going. There is a lot of in-depth information in pod2g�s blog post and for those who aren�t familiar with the jargon it may be too much to read.
