An untethered jailbreak is a type of jailbreak where your device does not require you to reboot with a connection to an external device capable of executing commands on the device.
Contents
Device support
Many device/firmware combinations can use an untethered jailbreak. The most current version of iOS (4.2.1), as well as the iPod touch 4G, can be untethered jailbroken already using greenpois0n.
Devices as new as the iPod touch 4G/Apple TV 2G have known bootrom exploits. However, the iPhone 3GS (old bootrom) and older have bootrom exploits that allow for an untethered jailbreak. Newer devices as old as the iPhone 3GS (new bootrom), iPod touch 2G (new bootrom), and iPod touch 3G have bootrom exploits that are limited to a tethered jailbreak (without the assistance of a firmware-based exploit).
Utilities capable of untethered jailbreaks
These jailbreak utilities can perform an untethered jailbreak, sorted by operating system.
iOS
Star and saffron run on the device itself, and are completely independent of a computer's operating system. JailbreakMe has supported so far 1.0-1.1.1,3.1.2-4.0.1(no 3.2.2) and 4.3-4.3.3. Each device can be jailbroken on those firmwares, No matter what, but if SHSH blobs aren't given for a certain firmware, it is not restorable.
Different Types
There are 2 types of untethered jailbreaks: Patched LLB-based and kernel hacks. On the first sort, that requires an untethered bootrom dump (e.g. 24kpwn or Pwnage 2.0). This type of jailbreak changes the LLB to not check the firmware at boot-up , letting a pwned kernel or a custom bootlogo to be uploaded to the system. The second type, uploads the unpwned kernel, the system checks the signature, then a kernel exploit happens and the jailbroken kernel is uploaded to the system. After the exploit, the bootlogo can be changed. This is how Greenpois0n's animate works.
