Meet the Family


And prepare to meet the program that will jailbreak them all.
Minor setback today, when Chronic revealed the exploit that this will use. For apparently no purpose except to save face in front of their donators. Future reference, never donate until you have a product in hand and working. Look, as much as I fight with the dev team, they always have the community's interests at heart, maybe even more so than me. But chronic just stomped all over what the community wants. Who can actually do something with the info they released? Well, you know, Apple.

George Hotz said...

no affiliation to greenpois0n. and it's in some ways the complete opposite of purplera1n. but still 10 seconds. and may work for every version of software *ever*, based on the prettiness of the exploit

George Hotz said...

rickrolling isn't funny...sorry

Jailbreak said...

sorry geohot. will not do again.

John said...

Erm, sorry if I'm not really in the know... but are we to assume you are releasing your own one size fits all jb program in the near future? If so, will it be windows, and is there any sort of ETA?

Jim said...

Geohot, You are The Man! Pure Genius. Nuff said.
Windows too, not just Mac?

James said...

Maybe even a PPC version this time? Yeah, I still use a Powermac. what of it!??!

AriX said...

Sounds good, I'm really excited, but PLEASE, use a better Freeze.app this time (namely, make sure it has an icon and can autodelete itself... If you have problems with either of those things, email me)

This is gonna be freaking sweet if it's what I think it is :)

Abras

sandos said...

The OG at it again... Nice work George. Giving a 2 day ETA - that's something the JB world almost never sees. Awesome stuff!

Hendrik said...

Will ultrasn0w or something like that work with your jailbreak?

Jens said...

Pretty darn good...

iamse7en said...

Oh man.

Geohot rules.

Gaining cred over the dev team, and that's hard to do.

Bori said...

Keep It Up Geo!!!!

Matt McMahon said...

You're the man, geo!

Mario said...

geohot: Can you include a link to RockApp at rockapp.rockyourphone.com/RYP.tar.gz in your freeze? Thanks - psuskeels! Way to go if it's that simple - wow! Will it be patched?

Nguyen Thanh said...

Is it going to support Iphone 3GS fw 3.1 OTB?
Thanks GeoHot anyway:)

Ali said...

Amazing Geo, you rock dude

gavynkay said...

Dante said...

Will this jailbreak 3GS for future versions to come?

. said...

SUPPORT~

Charles said...

sweet, you da man!!!

Fabio said...

I have just bought a new iPhone (october 5th) at Best Buy, "as a gift". Locked!!! Can I use this tool to jailbreak and unlock later, even without official activation?

K¤f§t€ß said...

No lie hoss, you is ah serious fella!!! And I know that I can depend on you subconsciously for an unlock.
No pressure, I don't even have to ask for an eta. Those things just come natural to you...

Lilskaterpunk said...

Good news!

Dave said...

Geo show the dev-team who' da man

mcarter said...

your the man

KiLLSWiTCH said...

Jailbreak? Bro, please please please help us fools unlock our 3GS 3.1 :( If anyone can do it, we know you can.

Thomas Ward Photography said...

Okay I'll jump on the bandwagon and say please help with an unlock! I've given up on the dev team

gavynkay said...

yea, for those with 3G with 5.11.07 baseband and 5.9 bootloader too.

Mike said...

I've only just heard of geohot from reading dev teams blogs. this guy sounds awesome. I just hope to god he can get this thing up and running for otb 3gs 3.1. I've been pulling my hair out for two weeks since I mistakenly upgraded :-S

MDCosta911 said...

Goddamn, Geo.. You really are the fucking man.

slcarroll69 said...

Dude, this is sweet news.
Just hope it will jailbreak 3.1 OTB on 3GS.

Kevin said...

Great work, can't wait for it to finally surface for us windows users. Already using a JB 3.0.1 3GS, but I like one of the new features in the new FW. Can't wait for it.

Linda said...

Geo I gotta admit you done it again.. Way to go geo!! I'm going to jump on the band-wagons like the other postings.. Hopefully you or the dev- team soon come up with a way to unlock this iPhone after a stupid mistake we all did.. I was like the post above me pulling my hair out after my boyfriend and I have wiped out our iPhone and thought if we upgraded it would be to the 3.0 version.. I as well read through tons of forums and posting just to jailbreak the phone to 3.0 .. Sorry to bore you all with a story of my life.. STUPID ITUNES!!

Walter said...

Really Nice!!! You are becoming a Celebrity!! I'm your Fan #100000 =)!

prostovanka said...

@jailbreak (user)

u sir r an @$$.. I got Rik Rolled

CasaRivera said...

You never fail to impress!, just when the future ist starting to look bleak for some. Hopefully you'll take an interest in cracking the latest baseband also! In any case, your significant contributions are much appreciated by all.

(If you have a chance please share any thoughts on if/how us 3GS users can leverage purplera1nyday files to restore to 3.0? Maybe that's a mute point given your current progress with 3.1.)

prostovanka said...

George Grats on the achievement :)

Cant wait to see the tool.


Also. Is there a way to tether on 3.1 yet?

Stephen said...

Alot of folks online are making claims they can jailbreak the 3gs. I've got the latest 3gs with latest firmware...and totally pissed off my daughter's jailbroken iphone is more versatile than my off the shelf variety.
Please George, give me a 3gs unlock and I'll give you my daughter...okay, how about if I let you see a picture of her then?

U da man! SB

Paul said...

Geo, i have a domain name 3gs.org
do u like the name? i reg it long time b4 3gs came out.

LT said...

I can't understand why some people take offense when someone comes up with a solution.

I also can't understand why some people consider someone a threat when the objective is to serve the community.

In the end, nothing exterior will destroy us but our own pride & egos.

'Nuff said!

Props to Geohot for this label.

N e m e s i s said...

Go GEO go!!! Great work!!! Just two days only?! That's great news!

. said...

Expected date of release?
thx geohot

建东 said...

I wanna know the exact date of release. I've been looking forward for that too long. And also congratulation. You really did a good job.

Nguyen Thanh said...

So r we going to wait 2 days more?
Great job GeoHot! Thanks a lot!!!

So said...

Yo geo, you were in dallas a year ago around this time and if you come to the area email me using the contact form at theiphonespot.net, I own a few restaurants and wouldn't mind having you in for a free meal and to chill.. If you wanna stay for a late night get together with the ol females then you are welcome to stay as there will be plenty of cats for you to get, I guarantee it. Let me know sosly

Alec Tronic said...

Great news!

PS: Happy birthday belatedly ;)

Alex said...

niceeee

John said...

@Jailbreak - are you Musclenerd in disguise you loser

John said...

The useless Mods on Dev are bitching about this "you can't talk about Geohot here" lol
Conf & Angie get a life

Go Geohot,

angie said...

alvin john said...

where is it again geo? =]

Aloosh said...

WOW!

Sunny said...

Hope it will be available very soon!

Sunny said...

Great! Hope it will be available very soon!

Jon said...

If you manage to release a JB solution for OTB 3G(s) 3.1, and you ever come to London, I will entertain you with fine wine, hookers and lots of blow.

Wander said...

So cool

ShAyAn-BeTa said...

Can't Wait to see that...!! Great Job!

mysterio said...

I have a suggestion on what to call it (although of course you will most likely name it as you please)

1. purplest0rm, to indicate that it's stronger than purplera1n
2. the0ner1ng, a play on the jailbreak them all concept ala The Lord of the Rings.

Can't wait to see it released irregardless of what you call it. :D

DevilsAdvc8 said...

damn! a site already claims they're able to do whatever geo hot claims he is working on.

and all for the low, low price of $25

can this be true? did they out think the genius? anyone can verify this?

iphoneunlocking.com

nourson74 said...

Super, tu es vraiment un mecs trop trop fort (Great ! Your are realy a very strong man !!) ;)

mysterio said...

DevilsAdvc8, it's a scam. They've had over 1 million downloads and just 12 testimonies? :p

WishmasteR said...

We're all counting on u Geo :)
u da man!

Pitboy said...

You're the best man, show them who's the killer !!!

Marko said...

Hi, I'ld like to know will this jailbrake be able to unlock my iPhone 3G that I locked with devTeam jailbrake when I tried to updated to 3.1 but I restored to original 3.1 so my network is lost?

Ceceo said...

Geohot, it would be great, if you could implement a downgrade option, if that is possible.
Many on 3.0/3.0.1 don't like the idea to upgrade to 3.1 (either from pawned 3.0 or with what you might come up), but once on 3.1 having no option to go back to 3.0
There are so many reports about issues with 3.1, some are so serious, that I'd say, the iPhone became almost useless for the poor folks, experiencing these issues after they upgraded.
Furthermore, does your solution allow to restore the iPhone, without loosing the jailbreak or at least without loosing the option to jailbreak again, which was a serious problems for jailbroken 3GS on 3.0/3.0.1 due to Apple's new firmware signing sh*t until dev-team released PwnageTool 3.1.3

Armagedon said...

Wait ppl it's just two days, yesterday you all had no hope and today have Geohot with a ETA of two days, relax, leave the guy work, i don't think he will lost time reading you all if he promised in two days.

Relax.

And thanks in advance George ...

Daniel said...

GehHot, will this JailBrake otb 3.1 iphone 3g[s] too?
if it does honestly man...ur my king :D

John said...

@ angie ROFL

What are you doing here get back to your blog lol
Are you here for the jailbreak program that Dev can't do lol
Geohot will show you how it's done,run back and tell Musclenerd he will be able to jailbreak his 3GS on 3.1 very soon.

ashish jain said...

Please tell me that you would not wait for apple to release 3.2 what others are probably waiting for...

and I hope your JB would work with 3GS 3.1 OTB? Is that true?

Maciej Swic said...

Gogogo for 3.1 3GS OTB jailbreak!

Taote Kite Tahiti said...

Yesss, I believe in you and please don't forget push capabilities...

indhut said...

you will save my life when you release it. go geo...

Jan said...

First at all my congratulation Geo .

Also we have to point out that the Dev-Team do also a good job and helped many of us to stay free from Apples Dictatorship .

What would be do without this peopel ( Geohot and Dev-Team) ? Thanks to all of you !

Jan

Toothsaw said...

I still don't quite understand why the devs keep on jailbreaking the IPSW now that you have found a cleaner, quicker way to JB, but I think you're the man!
Great work, GeoHot!
Best ever!

sinelly38 said...

Normandy said...

Marko said...

I'll first pay if there is some way to unlock my iPhone 3G that I fu**ed up with devTeam instructions, so smart move would be to make downgrade or unlock fo r that and everybody will pay few $ for something like that!

Moccino's BLOG said...

Geohot the king of iphone ! YES !

Frank said...

fantastic!
I'm missing the tethering option that much. Think with jb'ed phone there should be options?!

DESiRe said...

You must be G-D To all iPhones dude. If not for Geo I.... I don't know. I guess no one can come close to his knowledge of the iPhone. Geo, you keep it going dude. Can't wait for the release of the JB. Good Luck bud.

ranjan said...

Highner said...

AAhhh , somehow unbelievable :D

GeoHot, thanx a ton! I'm crying with joy. Thank you on bended knees.

Norberto said...

Geo: Thanks again, you are the best and I knew you finally will have a solution, and for you guys that got in trouble with your phones have a little patience and stop asking the same silly questions again and again, just read all the posts and let Geo do his stuff as well as he knows, I stayed away from troubles by keeping my 3GS on 3.0.1 and it's fully unlocked and jailbroken with the Dev Team program(quite a headache) so I' sure that Geo will have a more friendly and easy solution for the users who want to keep updating their phones to the latest version of Apple, thank again and I really hope that all of us who may use your program will make a donation!

HitNWakes said...

Couldn't have said it better Norberto! I also stayed away from 3.1 and just waiting for this 3.1 release so I can restore my phone and link my iTunes to Saurik's firmware verification for later restores! Thanks Geohot, this is GREAT NEWS!

Emil said...

great, can't wait

Jon said...

You are awesome man, I'm glad I didn't send back my 3gs :P!

reverser said...

I am truly amazed at your work. You are the prodigal iHacker!

Tell me where to send you some $$$, especially for taking time from school to help us losers that can't do it ourselves!!

Juan Pablo said...

hmmm, I start to smell weird things here, there are 3 options:

1. George hotz is somehow allied with the apple crew and in not convenient to close the jailbreak.

2. He has a very high IQ and is easier for him to find an exploit on a digital machine than find a problem in normal social life.

3. The dev team love to keep us waiting, and George has a very little patience.

Vance said...

Nice! GeoHot is a jailbreaking superstar! Can't wait for the release.

norman said...

GREAT

Thank you very much!!

Péter said...

Man, you're a godness, if you solve this problem, I'm keeping my fingers crossed on you^^

alexis said...

Does this will enable again push notifications for hacktivated iPhone???
Thanks!

Jon said...

@pêter
he's not a girl man, I think you meant he will be a godsend or god or something to that effect. Not to be atheistic or anything but I agree :P he's freaking awesome and you guys better fork over the donations when he releases!!!

Casettanuova said...

Ottimo il migliore

Jon said...

for everyone asking, it will jailbreak ALL devices and he gave an ETA last night of 2 days...give him some time guys

GA said...

let make us win apple, pwnage is loser. it can't jb 3gs 3.1, it just upgrade 3gs 3.0 to 3.1
fist round 3gs 3.0 hacker won, apple lose
second round 3gs 3.1 apple win ? hacker lose ?
wait and see....

Michał said...

I have a problem. I have iPhone 3GS. I got it having 3.0.1 and JB it. Then, dumbass I am, I wanted to clear all content and data through options menu - iPhone crashed. I had to use restore. Now I have 3.1. I did not save anythiing to Cydia :( Tried every method on the web with no luck. I do NOT get any 1015 error. or something...

Phone information :
OS 3.1 (7C144)
Baseband : 05.11.07

Will you be able to help?

Philipp said...

You are the best!!!

Tarvo said...

You are the man if you can come up with a program that will jailbreak 3.1 3GS that hasn't been jailbroken before!

Apple lose? - just if you want to use pirate software dude, because you bought de device and if you use the App Store after Jailbreak but like the mods of Cydia + JB where Apple lose?

Cammon some people just don´t have something to say or don´t understand how the Apple market work today and say this stupid things in a desperated try to convince Geohot to do a thing that he is really acctually doing, so why to comment?

Sleep, go swim, run, fuck, study, i don´t know but seriously don´t wast your time typing bullshit.

Hugs for all.

dev-team sucks! they just make us wait...

sandos said...

Hmmmm... He's looking at the bootrom. Does this mean an unlock is coming too?

Jon said...

I wouldn't say the dev-team sucks, they are very talented, George is just a few hundred levels above them, think of his brain as a mini computer :)

Jon said...

He probably looks at the code where everyone sees the matrix, bud all he sees is blond, brunette, redhead...

Rob1222 said...

How can I download the jailbreak, I keep clicking on the link and all I'm getting is a music video. can someone help me?

Good Work Geohot

dwayne said...

Last 1 day

show you invites

Björk said...

If this works on 3GS 3.1 you are the fucking man dude!!!

You will help alot of users out there!

dwayne said...

?:tomorrow!?
George Hotz said:i just started working on it two hours ago. give me 2 days
George Hotz said:i have an eta, 2 days

Hopes already got it working :-)...well working enough

Mike said...

Nice....

tsuehpsyde said...

For those who already have 3.0/3.0.1 jailbroken, you can upgrade to 3.1 right now using PwnageTool (build a custom IPSW, and restore with it). And using PwnageTool is the *only* way to keep your baseband unlocked to use ultrasn0w/purplesn0w.

Not thread crapping since I'm looking forward to George's tool, I just wanted to clarify to users like Kevin who said they were waiting for this but are already jailbroken on 3.0*.

Also, for those asking, George's tool will not unlock the baseband. So if your BB says 05.*, then no, you cannot unlock it, even with his tool. This is only to jailbreak the device.

ronnieB said...

I thought the first Rickroll was amusing...but please no more.

Praying that this JB comes soon. im hoping it will allow teathering. or at least my abality to downgrade to a FW that did allow it.

Oney said...

I don't know... But I feel that Geohot is better than the others... (Dev-Team, Chronic-dev).

Because he's by her own and keep doing it better than the others.

Arthur said...

I tell you what, I paid for the of shelf jaibreak of 3.1 3Gs, and the method was thru a Chinese web site, they have asked for the IMEI number and made the jailbreak especially for that phone, and I payed for it, the phone crashes a lot and it stops working once in a while, not like my girlfriend’s 3Gs 3.1, I'm willing to support and paid for this one, since I think it will work more reliable and without any hiccups, let me know GHotz

HitNWakes said...

I just pee'd my pants when I saw Rob1222's post!!! HAHAHAAHAHA!

Chase Watts Hundreds said...

im hoping this work for my phone .
i did a factory reset while it was jailbroken/unlocked for tmobile but i couldn't bring my phone back to life . i tried using irecovery but it was just way to difficult to use for me .

JuanMa said...

GREAT!!!

reverser said...

FYI to all:
George now says he is not releasing his new payload since chronicdevteam is taking credit for the exploit.

@George, please don't let us down now on account of some script kiddies stealing your work. We have all been waiting for you to come back into the scene, don't leave us hanging! Please!

iDaNnY said...

Dont give up because of Chronic please, we all know they are not original! :) Please!

munoz said...

Geohot dont stop the good work you know your the best out there and so do the people.

Lets boycott Greepoison and not use there tools.
