Talk:Jailbreak

Actually, I believe redsn0w (normal version) still loads a 2.1.1 iBoot & uses the arm7_go exploit to bootstrap the ramdisk that flashes the NOR, including an LLB with the 24kpwn exploit. Can someone confirm this? --Cool name 01:33, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Limera1n/Greenpois0n

We should really try to get a name for the exploit or find a way to add it to exploits used post 2.0 --JakeAnthraX 05:13, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Apparenttly, limera1n uses SHAtter as it is unmatchable. Also google it --Balloonhead66 05:15, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

SHAtter was not used and was saved. This is the iPhone wiki, usually people come here before googling and after all it should be here. --JakeAnthraX 05:20, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

the exploit is used differently on both jailbreaks on limera1n it creates a command called geohot then reboots to recovery mode and boots a ramdisk however on greenpois0n it injects IBSS and then uses the exploit to inject a pwnd IBEC in the description of shatter it did say it rebooted --liamchat 11:31, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

[SHAtter] was saved, [greenpois0n] uses the same exploit as [limera1n]. Also can someone stem the flow of crap coming from liamchat? It's getting annoying now. --GreySyntax 11:45, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

"Exploits which are used in order to jailbreak 2.x?"

The exploits used for jailbreaking iOS 1.x are broken down by firmware version. I'd like to accomplish the same thing for the 2.0 and onward section, since it's formatted much differently. But then I thought to myself, "This is going to be a huge revision that may receive sharp criticism. Let me make a talk page entry for this." So that's what I did…

So, in other words, would it be fine if the "Exploits which are used in order to jailbreak 2.0+" section was changed to something similar to the "Exploits which are used in order to jailbreak 1.x" section? --Dialexio 02:16, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea to me. Wouldn't it be easier to also separate them by major revisions? Like have a 2.X section, a 3.X section, a 4.X section, and soon to be 5.X? --JakeAnthraX 02:27, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Of course! I was planning to do that, too. :P --Dialexio 02:31, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

4.3.5 / 4.2.10

I've changed references to 0.9.8b3 to 0.9.8b7 for 4.3.5 tethered jailbreaks (see latest iPhone Dev rs iOS5beta posting). Should the Main Page be changed to reflect that an official jailbreak is available? Or will this only be changed on release of an untethered exploit being made available? Also fixed an error in which a reference to 0.9.6rc18 was existent with a question mark. Now changed to the accurate version of rs beta that needs to be used for 4.3.4 on that device. I've left 0.9.8b3 for 4.3.4 simply because that was the first release supporting it. Hope this is okay. blackthund3r 04:57, 31 August 2011 (MDT)

Actually it should list the lowest and highest version number that supports the listed firmware version, not just the latest. That's why all other pre 4.3.3 versions for redsn0w have ranges. -- http 00:57, 1 September 2011 (MDT)

3GS separation

From a jailbreak point of view, the 3GS with old and new bootrom are totally different devices. Can we separate that into two tables? -- http 12:48, 14 December 2011 (MST)

5.x PwnageTool bundles

The list says there are PwnageTool custom bundles for 5.0 for iPad and iPhone 4 (GSM) available. Is that correct? -- http 05:06, 19 December 2011 (MST)

see pwnbundles.com --Zmaster 06:45, 19 December 2011 (MST)

That site doesn't list any bundle for iOS 5.0, while this page says iOS 5.0 can be jailbroken with PwnageTool and a custom bundle. Is this just meant theoretical or what? -- http 10:32, 19 December 2011 (MST)

Clutter

Some of the tables (notably the iPhone 3GS section) are beginning to appear crammed. I think we could break up the tables a little more, based on firmware versions, to alleviate this issue. Thoughts? --Dialexio 18:51, 28 December 2011 (MST)

What about dropping the table all together:

== [[m68ap|iPhone]] ==
* 1.0.0
** iBrickr
*** Untethered: 0.5-0.91

or

== [[m68ap|iPhone]] ==
* 1.0.0
** iBrickr (Untethered): 0.5-0.91

--Cole Johnson 19:00, 28 December 2011 (MST)

Sounds good to me. Unless somebody wants tables, I'll switch over to this proposed format sometime around the weekend. --Dialexio 21:08, 28 December 2011 (MST)

There is one more that I would like better: the first option but list all versions:

== [[m68ap|iPhone]] ==
* 1.0.0
** iBrickr
*** 0.5 (Untethered)
*** 0.6 (Untethered)
...

Its a bigger job, but it is better IMO --Cole Johnson 22:42, 28 December 2011 (MST)

One more (the tools area is listed like list option three, but w/o the link. The link is on the second column. The "5.0.1" can be like ==== 5.0.1 ====): File:JB Option.png --Cole Johnson 22:47, 28 December 2011 (MST)
