GeoHot Jailbreaks iPhone 4 but Not for the Public
GeoHot, the genius behind blackra1n and blacksn0w, has announced in his blog that he has jailbroken the iPhone 4. In his blog post, he posted an iPhone 4 photo running cydia as a jailbreak proof.
However, don’t expect GeoHot will rollout a new version of blackra1n or other jailbreak tools in near future for jailbreaking the iPhone 4.
As far as a release goes, it probably won’t happen from me. limera1n is little more than a raindrop on a website; it was never mentioned by me previous to this post. pwned4life is a complete invention of some blogger in a basement somewhere. When I said pwned for life, I was referring to the original iPhone, 3G, and Touch; which of course are, by the aptly named PwnageTool.
Again, please don’t ask for release dates. Every person that does makes me want to release a little bit less.
As of now, there is no jailbreak solution for iPhone 4 yet. If you’re in search of solution for jailbreaking iPhone 4, you may need to wait a little bit longer until the iPhone Dev team releases the Spirit-like solution.
For those who want to jailbreak iOS 4 on iPhone 3G/3GS, you can check out PwnageTool 4.01.
Update:
GeoHot has shutdown his iPhone blog, as well as, his Twitter account. He also announced that he is no longer working on the release for iPhone 4 jailbreak and unlock. Despite lots of negativity after his recent announcement of iPhone 4 jailbreak, I still appreciate his work for the iPhone community. The blackra1n and blacksn0w tools that he developed have helped us a lot to jailbreak and unlock iPhone OS 3.1.2.
