Dev Team: Don't Upgrade to iOS 4.1 it’s a Trap

A few minutes ago the iPhone dev team just posted a new article in their official blog, they mainly warn the jailbreakers and unlockers from upgrading to the new iOS 4.1 which expected to be released today, you will likely start seeing iTunes innocently offer you a new version of iOS 4.1 , don't accept it , it's a trap.

This time of year there are lots of new iPhone owners, and not everybody knows that accepting new iOS updates is the surest way to lose your jailbreak and/or unlock. While those of you who have Cydia or TinyUmbrella backups of your FW hashes will always be able to get back to 4.0.1 if you make this mistake, this doesn’t hold for unlockers. There’s currently no known way to revert your baseband — if you update your baseband you’ll lose the ultrasn0w unlock, possible forever.

Finally I have to remind you to stay away from 4.1 release until a safe jailbreak procedure is developed and released, as we mentioned in an earlier post the the dev-team in his way to jailbreak the new iOS 4.1 but this time it will not be by Comex, it will be by an old member called H0tB33f, check this post.

iOS 4.1 Userland Jailbreak Coming Soon?

You have been waiting for that! MuscleNerd has just said that comex will try to pull a trifecta by releasing a userland jailbreak similar to JailbreakMe to jailbreak iOS 4.1 for all devices but if he fails to do though, then a iBoot or bootrom exploits will be released.

Stephanos asked MuscleNerd about the type of iOS 4.1 jailbreak, userland jailbreak or a software jailbreak which runs under Windows / Mac

@MuscleNerd I know tons already asked this but is the iOS4.1 gonna be a userland jailbreak as usual or will redsn0w be making a comeback ?

MusclNerd replied to him saying that Comex will release a userland jailbreak if he could pull trifecta

@TechXero it'll be userland JB if @comex can pull trifecta. Else, wait for new HW cycle (also remember: hole!=exploit)

There's no ETA but all what we know that the iPhone Dev Team are working hard on jailbreaking iOS 4.1 for all devices. If they failed to do though, they will release the ready-done jailbreak for iPhone 3G / 3GS (old bootrom) and iPod touch 2G / 3G (Non-MC models). For others, you may wait until iOS 4.2 release in November.

Update 1:Pod2g's Exploit Successfully Works on iOS 4.1 check details here.

Why Apple Should Stop Its War Against Jailbreak ?

Last week we reported that Apple applied for a patent which designed to specify the jailbrking and/or unlocking devices or removal of SIM card from a phone so the device will be disabled. Apple has also released a new iOS which only for patching the jailbreak hole, but the Dev-Team fired this back announcing that they will be able to disable the new patent.

I think Apple should stop wasting these big efforts in this war, Apple should ask,Why iDevices users interested in jailbreak? , the answer is that the jailbreak allow them to access to a growing number of apps which not supported by the App Store, specially (tethering and pron apps), but simply, just like tethering apps can be controlled by mitigating the tethering usage be AT&T or whatever the carrier is, with a metered data plans, also, when it comes to porn and anything else users could access, Apple can simply say "We don't support that garbage" maintain its policy that jailbreaking automatically void warranties.

Last reason of why Apple should stop its war against jailbreak is the revenues from the App Store which like a drop in the bucket compared to Apple's overall bottom line.which means that jailbreak (Cydia) will not affect Apple revenues.
Finally, after discussing these major items, I think it is quite logical that Apple shall stop the war against jailbreak. [via jkontherun]

According to some reports, the China Unicom carrier begun to advertise the sale of both iPhone 4 and iPad with Jailbreak included. Thanks to JailbreakMe the online service offered by Comex, the Jailbreak has never been so easy and fast, so that the phone carrier has turned into a marketing scheme.

“Support Service: Free SIM-trimming, jailbreak, installation of more than 10 hot apps.”

And all this free for just purchasing the device. An interesting point to note is how they intend to run the jailbreak on iOS 4.0.2, which breaks JailbreakMe.[via 9to5mac]

Well, Users were reporting that JailbreakMe userland jailbreak for iPhone 4 / 3GS on iOS 4.0.1 and iPad on iOS 3.2.1 is down. The reason for that is comex's poor servers, but there's an unexpected and quick fix for that.

Dev Team: No iOS 4.0.2 / iOS 3.2.2 Jailbreak, Wait for iOS 4.1

JailbreakMe was released few weeks ago to jailbreak iOS 4 / 4.0.1 on iPhone 4 / 3GS and iOS 3.2.1 on iPad. Comex discovered a security hole in Apple by installing Cydia on your device as PDF files, so Apple released iOS 4.0.2 for iPhone and iPod Touch, iOS 3.2.2 for iPad to fix PDF exploit . iPhone Dev Team said that there's no jailbreak for iOS 4.0.2 and iOS 3.2.2, just wait for iOS 4.1 to be released.

No, there won’t be. FW 4.0.2/3.2.2 was *only* released to fix the jailbreakme hole. With FW 4.1 still in its beta stages, it makes no sense to escalate the “cat & mouse” with Apple for FW updates that only fix the jailbreak holes. To quote WOPR, “the only winning move is not to play”.

If the cat & mouse game escalates too quickly, especially during beta FW periods, nobody but Apple benefits. For this reason, there won’t be a 4.0.2/3.2.2 jailbreak specifically during the period where 4.0.2/3.2.2 is the latest public release. At best, some future 4.1x FW jailbreak *may* be compatible with 4.0.2/3.2.2 (but don’t count on that).

Dev Team just wanted to tell users who updated to the latest iOS firmware and are stuck without a jailbreak, "don’t expect a jailbreak for iOS 4.0.2 / 3.2.2"

iOS 4.1 is still in beta, so they can't decide if they can jailbreak iOS 4.1 or it still not jailbroken. So we have to wait till iOS 4.1 released on September, can it be announced in Apple's special event on September 1st? or it's a musical event to announced iPod Touch 4G and iTV.

You can expect a jailbreak to be available after Apple pushes iOS 4.1 to public, You will be able to jailbreak with JailbreakMe again if you have your iOS 4.0.1 SHSH blobs saved, or you will have to wait longer!

In meantime we have guides for jailbreaking and unlocking your devices, If you are on iPhone 3G or iPod Touch 2G, you can use the guide posted here to jailbreak using Redsn0w on iOS 4.0.2 or older. For iPhone 3GS stuck on iOS 4.0.2, you can just use the guide posted here to jailbreak iPhone 3GS old bootroms with PwnageTool either use JailbreakMe guide posted here to jailbreak older firmwares. For iPad users, there's no jailbreak for iOS 3.2.2, just use Jailbreak guide posted here to jailbreak iPad on iOS 3.2.1. Simply, unlock all devices using Ultrasn0w 1.0-1.

Apple Locked Digitally Signed For iOS 4.0.1/3.2.1

A few hours ago Apple has blocked the digital signature for the firmware 4.0.1 and 3.2.1 , so now it is impossible to restore to an earlier iOS version. From now users can't save SHSH files to Cydia or Apple for iOS 4.0.1 and 3.2.1 or lower.
so those who upgrade to firmware 4.0.2 will no longer able to restore or unlock their iPhones, in addition who upgrade his iPad to 3.2.1 will no longer able to unlock his iPad.

But for those who have already saved SHSH files as we mentioned before, they will have no problem see guide posted here.

I highly recommend to all those who have not saved SHSH and want a jailbroken device, don't upgrade to iOS 3.2.2 for iPad users (iOS 3.2.1 already jailbroken here) and if you are an iPhone  user don't upgrade to iOS 4.0.2 (iOS 4.0.1 already jailbroken here).
For iPhone 3G users, it is already jailbroken on iOS 4.0.2 using reds0w here.

PDF Patch Fixes JailbreakMe 2.0 PDF Exploit for all iPhone, iPod Touch And iPad

Yesterday, Apple has released iOS 4.0.2 that solves the problem of security present on Safari which it was possible to obtain privileges that allow malicious code execution. The exploit, as you well know, has been used by Comex for the jailbreak of all devices. The new update, does not affect users of the iPhone 2G and iPod Touch 1G as iOS 4 is not available for these devices.

Therefore Apple did not consider these terminals in its updated and easy that people may exploit this flaw to create real options to JailbreakMe. To remedy this, Saurik has created a package on Cydia that fix the bug in all iDevices having any firmware version (even  iOS 2.x). PDF patch, this is his name, will be available soon ( after some more thorough testing).

Please note that by running the update on your iPhone / iPod Touch / iPad, you will lose the ability to jailbreak your iDevice, especially if you do not have to save SHSH blobs, but if you already done so you can downgrade by following this guide.

Update 1: The package is now freely available through the repository of Saurik here.

Apple Finished the Patch / Fix for JailbreakMe

Two days ago, I already reported you that Apple is working on a fix for JailbreakMe 2.0 which was released by comex last week, Today, we have reports that Apple has just finished patch and it's completely done to stop JailbreakMe from working on your device, According to USToday,

Apple is hustling to issue a patch for a milestone security flaw that makes it possible to remotely hack —or jailbreak — iOS, the operating system for iPhones, iPads and iPod Touch.

The patch is completed, Apple spokeswoman Natalie Kerris said in an interview. But Kerris said on Friday that she was not able to give a time frame for its public release.

Also, there's an Apple event coming in Mid-August in which Apple may announce with iPod Touch 4G, iOS 4 for iPad, and iOS 4.1 for iPhone. Apple may apply the patch for JailbreakMe to close the security hole in the next iOS.
So, my recommendations for all iDevices owners, to keep away from this update, stay away from the "Restore" Button in iTunes, Save SHSH of iOS 4.0.1 to be able to jailbreak in the future, Also Stay tuned and we will keep updated!

Apple Prevents In-Store Jailbreaking By Blocking JailbreakMe.com

We already reported you that Apple has developed fix for the newly released JailbreakMe 2.0 Star in the next iOS update. While working on the fix, Apple watched a lot of videos leaking in the wild showing jailbreak in Apple Stores, so they decided to stop that, Apple blocked http://www.jailbreakme.com from being opened by pranksters, instead redirect it to Apple.com

According to 9to5mac:

We figured it would be time for Apple to finally stop their iOS devices from being Jailbroken on their own turf, so we did a quick Twitter search. It appears that when JailBreakMe.com is accessed on any device at an Apple Store, the DNS forward users back to Apple.com's IP address.

According to CultOfMac:

Inundated with a deluge of iPhone 4 jailbreaks at their retail locations, Apple has finally locked down access to JailbreakMe from inside the Apple Store. If you try to go to jailbreakme.com from within an Apple Store now, a DNS forward will just route you back to Apple.com.

Good move Apple, but developers still have other exploits and the fight will go on again and again!
