Because so many people on Twitter and the comments want an update, here it is. We said it would be technical, so please don’t get pissed off if you don’t understand it and do not flood the comments with questions of “what does this mean?”.
- After a stupid mistake was corrected, posixninja was able to use a payload written by ius that retrieved the location of the aes_crypto_cmd routine, so now we can decrypt the firmware files.
- “greenpois0n”, as in, the payload, is coming along quite nicely. This is it’s third rewrite, and I am doing it entirely in C with the exception of the loader.
Plans for the end product
- No DFU required
- No libUSB required
- No extra time to send over a ramdisk and boot that, everything is planned to be done over iBoot
- No IPSW required, firmware files are read directly from flash, then decrypted and patched on the fly, then reflashed and / or put aside to be booted from later
- Mac, WIndows, and Linux support
- The first revision will support OTB iPhone 3G[s] devices, or ones that have been upgraded without an ECID backup. on firmware 3.1 (build 7C144)
- The first revision will support the iPod touch 3G, on firmware 3.1.1 (both 7C145 and 7C146 will be supported)
- If the device is connected in Normal Mode, automatically reboot into Recovery Mode
- Jailbreak takes less than 1 minute from the time it boots to recovery
- Verbose reporting of progress, like “patching iBoot” or “reflashing DeviceTree” on the screen of the device, if you don’t understand what this means, it is similar to what the screen looks like if you were verbose booting your Mac / iPhone
- Extra patches such as access to the UID and GID keys from userland automatically applied, no need to dig up kernel decryption keys and use the patcher provided in xpwn and such
- Totally untethered jailbreak. This may or may not require an extra exploit.
- In case our exploit is in any other firmware revision, it can be ported in just a few line changes.
If you did not understand what some of that meant, this is the most important fact: on release, you will be able to go up to some random laptop at Best Buy, download the very small program plug in your device no matter what state it is in (normal or recovery), run it, and 1 minute later your device will be jailbroken. I am obviously not suggesting you randomly go in and do that, but the point I am trying to get across is that you will not need to prerequisites like libUSB, just plug it in, push a button, and the jailbreak is done in 1 minute. This is the way jailbreaking should always be.
Just want to say thanks for the hard work.
I will donate once this software is available.
2 questions
1) will we be able to do custom boot logos
2) will the windows, linux, and mac versions all be fully-featured?
il be happy to donate a lil bit but not a large amount
HEY BITCHES!!! WHEN YOUR DAMN GREENPOISON IS COMING OUT?!!! I GUESS WHEN YOU’LL FINISH IT, THE APPLE WILL INTRODUCE 3.2!!! FUCK YOU ALL!!!
HAHA!!! DONATE?!!! SUCK MY BALLS FIRST, ASSHOLES!!!
Look. IF this is an exploit that deems the iPod touch 3G pwnable (jailbreakable) for life, then a new firmware release cannot change the fact that it can be jailbroken.
Lol then we all win, and isn’t that where the moneys at?
Great Job!!
You can count on my donation when its released.
sure…sure…when I see it first, you are promising to many things and telling that you will do miracles. I am not sure, but…. I think you are bluffing…just because the DEV team already got something now you come out with this…I don’t know why but you sound like those iphone unlock site….Millions of happy users…. sure, I will be the first one to give an apology and donate money if you do it, which I don’t think so… and OTB… I will love to see that
hi thank’s for your works did greenpoison unlok the 05.11.07 and 5.9 bb thank’s
How bout you fucking idiots release this shit. i ve donated now give me my shit you fucking dumb cunts.
oh and by the way noone gives a fuck abotu dfu mode or being able to plug it into any random computer people just want the fucking jailbreak you dumb ass pricks if it isnt out by 12 o clock i m gonna fille against you in pay pal and get not only my money baack but all that you have
Hi, just wondering does this work on anything, incl the iphone 3G[S]? and is there any date being mentioned for release??
Just wanted to say thank you in advance for all of your hard work!
all i wanna know is the release date, even saying a fake one will help!!!
will this jailbreak come with Cydia?? please answer
If you’re so antsy to get it out, then do yourself and everyone else who’s sick of hearing crap like that a favor and figure it out yourself. Sure, you donated, and you got a progress update AFTER you donated, and everyone on Chronic Dev is extremely grateful for your donation, so just have some PATIENCE and let them work on it so it can come out. You can’t always get something you want RIGHT when you want it.
Gotta say im with bam after all patience is a virtue and absence makes the heart go fonder so get over it all you whining idiots it’ll be ready when its ready maybe they should release an untested version and watch all you impatient idiots f**k your phones, but guess then you would just moan about that … get a life go out with some friends and have a beer and check back every few days and i’m sure the time will fly by!

Lmfao, well said cellar
I envy the fact that you thought of dissing n00bs like that b4 I did
Hahhh
That’s epiccc
Just wanted to know if greenpois0n is compatible with the 2g iPod since all I have been seeing advertised is the 3gs and iPod 3g. Also keep up the good work and can’t wait to be jailbroken again( I’m one of the idiots who updated to 3.1 via iTunes and lost my cydia before I knew what happened)
I’m willing to bet that Noobs_hater is just a loser who sits on the internet acting hard all day. When greenpois0n is released, I bet he’s the first guy to get it, even if that includes getting down on all 4’s and begging his mommy and daddy to let him get it since he’s been a good little girl.
Keep up the good work guys. Nothing but good comments towards you guys for all your hard work. I’m in college for computer science and I know how hard it is to not just find the exploit, but write codes to take advantage of it. I’ll be more than happy to donate a little money upon release for a job well done.
i am SO using the best buy idea Chronic, you don’t even know
All I see is havoc…. Calm down people, you all should be thankful that someone is making this shit for you guys so that you guys can have fun and he asked for donations not fees!
will this shit covver the 3gs at least? onwindows?
hey.. i am very amazed to see all the negative comments out here… one thing everybody should understand they aint liable to do this if they say NO nobody can do jack about it and you guys can just scratch your balls and cry .. instead of saying shit you better appreciate that they are trying… they asked for donations not fees and if you somehow sold your ass out for the DONATION you shouldnt brag about it even though i think your just saying it .. this is for all those asswipes who does not appreciate.. and for chronic team i would really love to see your work that would be my first
Nice job! Keep Going
PLEASE HELP ME !!!
