George Hotz has been hard at work using a new exploit that will “jailbreak them all” as he says. This goes for every version of the iphone and ipod touch. He has tweeted many messages stating trial and error to show everyone that he is working diligently, follow his twitter here. The release of BlackRa1n as he calls his program may come tonight Read more…

If you hadn’t heard yet, Geo Hot became a little disturbed when chronic posted the exploit he is going to use to to make a new jailbreak program that will jailbreak them all on their wiki. He even threatened to stop making his program but in the end Chronic and George both explained their opinions and what was going on and below is what he had to say about it.

” 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. ”

After having spoken of iH8sn0w finally Saurik also informs us that he had managed to downgrade its 3GS iPhone from firmware 3.1 to 3.0, then regained the ability to run the Jailbreak. All this happened thanks to his method “ECID ShSh”, ie, using the saved certificate via Cydia, as described in the guide posted on iSpazio.

Using his method, you can downgrade only through iTunes and that will make things much simpler. Saurik will issue a comprehensive guide by tomorrow so that it becomes available asap.

RockYourPhone has released their v2 client. Now, I have not looked at this client yet. Let me state that I am not bashing rock your phone and have not made a determination yet whether or not it is great or terrible. What I can tell you is that if you are on a 3gs you should not install this until a 3.1 jailbreak is released.

As I already posted, the 3gs can no longer be restored to 3.0 or 3.0.1 anymore. If you update to 3.1 on your 3gs you may never be able to jailbreak again.

Rock your phone installs its own extensions and modifies a lot of system files. It is not installing just “an app”. They replace mobile substrate with their own version and the two may or may not work well side by side. Some thumb C function injection is likely to be broken. In normal cases, a simple restore would solve whatever issues you run into, but as things stand, you cant restore. So again, a very strong warning. If you are on a 3gs, do not install RYP2 at this time. If you want to test it, use a 2g, 3g, or wait for 3.1 jailbreak.

Note: this warning also applies to other software, but most stuff in cydia community sources can be repaired fairly easily without a restore using SSH.

So as of today, Apple has stopped signing 3.0 and 3.0.1 restore files. That means that if you have a 3GS iPhone you cannot restore any firmware other than 3.1. If you are happily jailbroken today and something goes wrong you are pretty much screwed.  Here is a summary:

1) If you have an iPhone 3g or 2g, you are fine and should be able to restore.

2) If you have a 3gs, you can only restore 3.1 (and kiss your jailbreak good bye). If you did not get an IBSS/IBEC signature before now and you restore, you may never be able to jailbreak again.

3) If you have an iPhone 3GS and you used Cydia to save your TSS or did purplera1n or similar a while back and saved your IBEC, then you will be able to restore in the near future, but you must wait for someone smart to write a utility that will let you do it.  Chances are good that such a utility will come out in a couple days. If you can be patient and wait, do so. No one wrote this utility prior to this because we were not sure if Apple would actually stop signing 3.0 – only that they *could*.

It looks like an exploit has already been found in 3.1 firmware so it sounds like a jailbreak will be possible, but again, hold out for a bit.
