Talk:Timeline

This timeline was written from my perspective about notable events I remember. Feel free to edit and add

I think theres some stuff here that isn't important enough. Like QuickPwn and dual-boot. ~geohot

Define 'timeline' !? ;-) -caique2001-

Dual-boot

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but from my recollection, the concept of dual-booting (as a possible exploit) pretty much naturally arose in the dev channel and cannot be attributed to a single person. However, we were only able to work around the check_for_suspicious_partitions routine in restored with some brilliant work by bgm, who solved the problem half an hour after I introduced him to it. We were then able to jailbreak 1.1.3, although we probably never released that particular method publicly since we believed that the soft-upgrade was sufficient. --Planetbeing 06:33, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Revisions needed

references to iAsign, iNdependence, sam+daeken bruteforce. Software 3.9 NORdump. TA_Mobile 4.6 NORdump. 4.6 GPIO block unlock.

@geohot

QuickPwn has more to it than you may think. For instance, it is the first public tool to not require iBoot / iBEC / iBSS / and friends to have .patch files, it will automatically do a byte search and take care of it all.

Leaks

Should they really be on the timeline? They shouldn't be treated as main event, but could include leaks in the actual articles of what was leaked. Just a thought. --JakeAnthraX 23:54, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
