It seems that Geohot has finally had enough with all the negative comments and made his blog private. The blog iphonejtag.blogspot.com/ he has used for a few years now to announce iphone jailbreaks and progress updates shows a login page along with an invite only readers message.

Its kind of sad to see him so upset and lose hope in the community, he is a legend in the scene and I sure do hope to see him around in the future. Until then he has passed on the torch for jailbreak news and updates to a good friend of his named Mike Cohen as his tweet follows: @mikecohenn

Update:

It seems he has just also protected his tweets from the public eye. Geohot Twitter

Geohot has updated his blog post about the iphone 4 jailbreak and responded to thousands of people bugging and talking crap about him just for showing a screenshot. I wonder why so many people talk bad about George as he is a cool guy and can work magic with any gadget, of course his ego is there which people don’t like but hes only young and im sure us young people also have a similar attitude. Below is what he had to say: Read more…

Geohot gave a talk at Nuit du Hack explaining the history of iPhone hacking and revealed that there is an unreleased exploit in the bootrom of every iPhone, iPod, and iPad.

“There is also, I hinted to this a couple times, an unreleased exploit in every iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in the bootrom to get code execution. And you know if I ever do another jailbreak, that’s the exploit I have. If you’ve seen I posted like a picture of 4.0 jailbroken. I posted my iPad jailbroken. All before Spirit was released. And I used like a completely different set of exploits which maybe when iPhone 4 comes out will be out.” Read more…

Geohot has updated his super simple jailbreaking tool called blackra1n to work with iPhone OS 4.0 . Although the official 4.0 Software hasn’t been released by Apple, George is just proving to people that he is still on top of his game. This updated version of Blackra1n has not been released and Geohot probably won’t release it until the iPad 3G version hits the shelves or maybe even late summer when the official OS 4.0 is released.

Let me start off by saying that these have been some of the wildest and craziest months I could possibly imagine. So many new things have happened; I’m really not sure where to begin. But I think I’ll start by clearing up a couple of common questions and misunderstandings. Read more…

The BlackSn0w Unlock by Geohot has been updated by MSFTGuy and PushFix to work with the 3.1.3 firmware and 05.11.07 baseband combination.

This modified version of BlackSn0w only works for phones upgraded with PwnageTool or Sn0wbreeze. Those who have updated to OS 3.1.3 by any other method will have the 05.12.01 baseband. Read more…

Geohot has tweeted that the Geohot Facebook Page which has announced a BlackRa1n update for 3.1.3 is 100% fake.

The facebook page that says I am working on a 3.1.3 jailbreak is 100% fake. The only official sources are “On the iPhone” and this twitter.

We will of course post if any real updates are available for BlackRa1n.

A few weeks ago , we told you that a possible exploit for baseband 5.12.01 was found and unlock might be on its way. And according to a ModMyi thread, we are almost there. In the very near future, baseband 05.12.01 could be unlockable for those of us unfortunate enough to be stuck in this position.

Now it doesn’t necessarily mean 3.1.3 will be worked on, but its good news none the less for those unfortunate users, and for the possibility of a group effort for the next unlock between GeoHot and the DevTeam. Discussed in an IRC channel, GeoHot and the DevTeam’s MuscleNerd, share some thoughts on the exploits they have found, and by the looks of things, might actually team up to dish out an ultimate serving of Jailbreaking goodness.
