Nice one Geohot!

mav said...

Wow, that was fast Geo, is it a software-only solution?

Mad props to you.

Placinta said...

Sooo.... What is this exactly?

mav said...

If I understand correctly it's a start for a jailbreak for iPhone 3GS (N88AP). He inserted a custom command to iBoot, so he must've found a way to bypass sigchecks. Which is good news :).

taher said...

no one saw that.. how come.. purplera1n.com .. GeoHot i adore you :P

purple2k said...

George,

I could be premature here, but from what I gather -

did you just break the chain of trust of the iPhone 3GS?

taher said...

ok "I Am Queens Boulevard"... what is he trying to hint? I don't live in the US, but it seems there's a series called Entourage, and "I am Queens Boulevard" is the final series or something? and i read an article stating that the series will be released in around two weeks (the article was on 4 June).. can anybody enlighten us?

iBoot exploit? :)
Now a tethered JB won't be far I guess...

Tomer said...

Nice, unexpectedly fast :)

MuscleNerd said...

Very nice! Hmm I should probably get my USB dump soon, before it's too late.

ultrasn0w should be directly compatible, too!

Gal Linder said...

good job!keep going!

will.chronicdev said...

nice job dude!

dranfi said...

Congratulation gehot!
I hope this is the begening for a tethered jailbreak, maybe, even bootrom dump and (with IDA) a bootrom exploit!

kajotbe said...

this is great!

posixninja said...

haha! geohot, you are the man! you said you'd get us an iboot exploit, and you got us an iboot exploit. you r0x!

will.chronicdev said...

@dranfi:
well tethered jb wouldn't be good for ppl that need to use their iPhones as a phone, but I am surely looking forward to bootrom dump.

@geohot:
seriously, i am amazed. you are the only person I know that can say, "oh, you want an iBoot exploit? give me a few days :)" and actually follow through, its been like what, three days since you said that? christ man, you seriously amaze me...

Sol said...

Does this and the ECID mean that I should get a 3GS now?

Since I depend on a jailbreak for running custom apps, do I need to get an USB dump now to be able to use the jb later?

Actually I would have waited until a jb is available...

ta_mobile said...

Hoping purple rain will make the 3GS hotter lol ! Great job Geohot

czeluff said...

I have been studying as much low-level code and exploitations as I can ever since GeoHot did the first 1.0.2 unlock. And still today, NO ONE compares to his mad skills. His code still makes no sense to me, and for that I applaud him :)

Hiren said...

holy crap you are too good.

Vikram said...

Cristian said...

Sarigama said...

Lilskata said...

Good job Geohot!
I hope there is a jailbreak for iPhone 3GS soon!

kiran said...

Geo Hotz continues to amuse the whole iPhone Jailbreak community! Great work buddy, let me know if we can chat over a beer or something, I am not far off from Glen Rock, NJ!!

Amazing Geohot!

mikeleaf said...

Jailbreaking is very sweet when you think about it, but just look at mine for a moment and see what you can do without jailbreaking it, more than we all thought!

Gi0 said...

Once again,great job!
