Earlier today, we got our hands on the bootrom. With the help of chronic, posixninja, and pod2g, I verified that it is still vulnerable to the 24kpwn exploit present in the iPod Touch 2G. This is great news for all of you. Basically, this means if someone makes a tethered jailbreak, it easily becomes untethered, because the boot chain is broken. Expect big things soon
On a personal note, I'm sad. Apple, it took me a week to break through your new defenses. And to let us reuse an exploit like that; 24kpwn was so 5 months ago. Although I imagine it must have been painful watching the devices roll by on the assembly line, knowing they all had a hole in them and you couldn't fix it.

YES!
Sweet!
AWESOME!
Wow...you guys are fast. Fantastic work. Congratulations!
hahhaah sexy
A+MAZING!
Please keep us updated. Following you guys do this is so much fun!
OMG! Geo... You're my god, officially. I love you.
Amazing work Geo!
I appreciate the time and effort you put into this, and I can see, that you are excited about this outcome and those new findings! But don't you think that your presumptions are a little exaggerated? I believe if apple really wanted you (or other people) not to get into their Iphones, they would have tried harder (I doubt they would have succeeded)! In my opinion you cracking it, is their profit! More phones will be sold, more money will be made with the appstore and on itunes generally!!! Apple had to work on some more defenses to satisfy the mobile carriers all over the world! But not more :) Nobody can claim now apple didnt try! Nevertheless, your work is impressive!!!
so 3gs can follow the same route just like ipt2g to be got jailbroken，from tethered to untethered？
cant believe apple can leave this hole unpatched on 3gs~
PS: How long did it take for the IPT2G to go from tethered to untethered?
Well played, sir!
Great job! Thanks for your time and dedication :)
Sweet. :-)

hi
great work, great appreciation for all the hard work. However, i do feel Apple is not trying very hard to block all the JB-ing as it boosts sales....let's hope Apple dun change their mind...with their innovation, i am pretty sure they can easily kill off the JB-ing if they want.
Great Work!
i cannot believe this happend so soon - you are great!
Perfect timing on this news too! Ordered mine yesterday.
So, can someone tell me if this revelation also means that I don't have to worry about running the ECID through purplera1n if I want to downgrade in the future? Or is downgrading still a concern?
Great news.Thanks a lot.
Also Dev team is working on it and it seems that ultrasn0w will work on 3GS

That's awesome Geo! Nice to see you're up to some cool things... on another note, do you have a girlfriend? We don't want you being too nerdy forever.
Hugs,

so i'm gonna buy 3gs instead of 3g ??? thanks george and all the team !!!! <3 <3 <3
Geo, you rule!!!
R.I.P MJ
Outstanding!!! Thank you for all your hard work. Now the rest of us can you the 3gs on other networks. Cant wait till we have a public jailbreak and unlock now :) Great work geo! :)
thank you to all who helped get closer to a jailbreak for the iPhone 3GS
Great work! Thanks!
Not sure that Apple does really care about Jailbreak. Most of people doesn't want to execute unsigned codes on their Iphones, they just want to unlock the Sim card in order to use it with their previous Sim card.
That's my case, I just want to use my old Sim card on it. And that, Apple is not trully hostile.
you really cant say anything bad about apple... The products are good, i'm sure they purposely didn't fix the bug so that others may enjoy the phone as well. Until they sell enough to make there targets the will be taking there sweet time fixing the bugs. Now if they were smart they would start there own cell phone provider instead of partnering with at&t.
HAHHAHA YESSSS PREORDERING MY 3G S and getting it the 19th WAS WORTH ITTT WHOOOOOOP
when is it going to be out george???
The iPhone 3GS? I believe it came out last friday. And lol @ the people who took 7 parsecs seriously.
geohot is a comedian :) How much longer? I'll take the raw way of doing it if possible as well ;p
lol no i mean when will the jailbreak be out?? like next week or wwhat?
Geohot, is there tethered way of doing jailbreak already? If yes, it would be very nice to try it out. I am IT admin, and it would be easy for me to do it. All I need is patched img3 files i guess for 3GS
guys just stop blame him too much .... or maybe he will use the jailbreak for himself ahahahah
Geo your the best ;)
Cellutions :)
geohot awesome!!! Everyone's hounding you for this so question , are you at a i.e. hello world stage yet, delivered a payload to the phone .(forgive me I'm a little old, Hacking bbs's in the eighty's).And from a development stage how long from payload stage to incorporating into redsn0w and Purplera1n.MY guess is unofficial considering yesterday the 25 was the date purple rain was released so hoping anytime soon?
where we should Expect the big things

Thanks geohot from a oldtimer but I still like my toys it's amazing to come from a world of basic, c on a 20 k memory machine to be able to have a amazing device that this peice of hadware is.Maybe some day we can duel boot it . Is it possible on theory????
Thanks again
Wow I
umm just thinking I know basic Linux is on the touch.Windowsmobile on blackberrys would need drivers but the storm has touch screen keyboard. Don't know alot about iPhone but is is a ppc or MIPS processed big or little
or is it able to run windows
sorry I'm rambling
Cheers
@Jeff WTF are you talking about?
Welll geo to bad it wasnt really you that "broke" the defenses, why dont you get back with the dev team we all know you guys still talk, i mean you are skilled i cant deny it but, i mean really, who found the 24k, and who made the tethered and untethered jb of the ipodtouch 2g
wow... great!
@george, from that imageshack it seems you have created a custom boot room (from the read new style sig), iRain (or just renamed it), if its the case of custom boot room, I would assume that once the phone has it, finding another exploit for jailbreak would be a thing of the past for that phone atleast?? is that what your working on? BTW a BIG FAN! :)
Great work but I'm sure Apple could care less. Of the 25 odd million iphones sold thus far what percentage of owners posses the expertise or will bother with unlocking? And in the iphones that are unlocked the loss to Apple is trivial.
@bizzarefoods it's people like you who make me wonder why i even consider writing release tools
@Richard Apple as company probably doesn't care. But I'm sure theres a few employees who enjoy this cat and mouse game as much as I do. And for them it was painful, just as it would be for me if I were in their shoes
Big thanks Geo from Russia!!! One little question: when will be the release of your new tool (please, don't answer "soon", i refresh your blog every 15 minutes) ? :-)
To be so young and so talented is very impressive I have worked on or around computers for 35 years and am not that smart. I am greatfull for the work you and the Dev Team do and have done to give us the liberty to do what we want with our paied for equipment without big brother forcing us to do it there way. You are fantastic and from a disabled veteran long live freedom!!!!!!
You all are fantastic god bless you and many thanks!!
Hi there, Just want to invite you n your friends to take a look on my blog, all are just introducing the ways to earn online. The New post may be interesting for you, check it out n let me know your comment if you don't mind, tnx friend...
www.earn2gether.blogspot.com
when will the jailbreak be out??
idk, whenever dev gets around to it :) or whenever you write it...
ahhaa when ever i write it=] nah dude im just wondering cause im leaving to no mans land TX monday or tuesday to my gp house with no comp i hope its out befor then
Props to GeoHot; not just for the jailbreak either, but for putting up with VolcomSkaters incessant questions!
Holy hell, is it me or is he quite possibly the most annoying person in the entire world?
Thanks again for all of your hard work. My GS cries out for a jailbreak, and I know soon the Devteam and geohot will be there with a lullaby and a bottle of warm milk to make it all better.
@jeff haha dude you are funny?? SHUT THA FUCK UP were not all fucking nerds here okay i have a god dam life.. i suppose you dont??talking shit on fucking blog?? WHOOOO you are far in life my friend i would advise you to shut tha fuck up and mind your own busniess you cum swallowing douchbag
guys chill out, this isn't youtube
Indeed, this is George's blog and we should respect that. In other words, refrain from insulting each other and being rude. This is a place to discuss George's findings as well as other iPhone related subjects.
See that Dev team, people are going crazy without a jailbreak for their 3GS devices. They may even start eating their young if you guys don't hurry.
Wow 2jeffs in one fourm. VolcomSkater we are all waiting just ingnore the dude who insulted you never argue with a idiot they have more expirence.George once you have a jb how long do you test for? Before releaseing it
@people flaming GeoHot
If he didn't find an iBoot exploit, the bootrom may have not ever been dumped for a long time, thus preventing anyone from ever knowing that the 3GS was vulnerable to the 24kpwn exploit to begin with. Not to mention that IIRC it wasn't just the Dev Team that discovered 24kpwn, credit also goes to Chronic Dev.
The last thing we need is iPhone hackers quitting because they're tired of bullshit drama people seem to create everywhere they go.
@VolcomSkater and allies,
take a joke. way to turn a simple comment into a damn e-fight. and for having a life VolcomSkater, you've had plenty of time to publish 247,000 comments. "how do i make a usb dump dudddes!?"
I'm here to commend Geohot, not argue with you over something so stupid. I was merely praising Geo for putting up with something most wouldn't have. Most of these guys have little patience for laymen like us, and it's awesome geohot always responds to even our dumbest question!
@AVT, I second that
I"m from Israel, just sold my old 3G and bought the 3Gs.
Wanted to say thanks for all your work !!!!
yeah my bad guys i just cant stand retards..sorry that geo good work for everything
^^^
now what's with all the self-loathing!?
geohot you're a mortal among men. keep up the fantastic work. the world needs more people like you; helping people without the promise of profit or monetary gain! brilliant
@bizzarefoods:
It was Chronic Dev as well as ONE MEMBER (planetbeing, awesome guy) of the iPhone Dev Team. Besides planetbeing helping us speed up development on it, which was definitely a help, the only credit devteam gets is wrapping it up in a tool.
For every (1) jerk there are thousands that appreciate the time you take out of your life to complete these tools.
Keep up the great work...
George. I admire your genius, and want to see you rich. A quote from the Joker "If you are good at something never do it for free.."
@geohot
Please dont join them with these e-drama. Just do your thing and dont mind those nasty comments...
Your good and we admire you for that... we appreciate all of you work for us iphone users.... keep it up...
youre a genius
I was wondering how far in computer programing you would have to go in college to understand and do what you are doing?
i love the personal note..!!
Looks like no jailbreak coming anytime soon :-(
Maybe I shouldnt have been so quick to sale the old 3g and grab the 3GS.
