This post is to clear up some confusion that seems to be in the comments of the other post in regards to pod2g’s departure.
Development on the jailbreak for iOS 4.1 will still continue as planned, and is still in progress. This internal team change will not affect the end user in any way at all.
Thank you for the concern, and your ongoing patience is appreciated.
Many people in the comments are asking for a progress update. Any kind of update that we could actually give would be too technical for anyone to understand anyway, not to mention potentially reveal the exploit. Just know that things are going swimmingly and we are working as hard as we can. Any demos, screenshots, or *cough* download links will be posted to this blog before anywhere else, so keep an eye out!
More information soon to come…
iBSS.n90ap.RELEASE.dfu (4.0.1) Decryption Information
Key: d05c3c40db40e738926f811b8b1314038d26096c4102461698a49098c47a3fe6

Update: Late last night it was verified that the iPad and iPod touch (4th generation) are also vulnerable to our exploit!
Update 2: Some facts…
- We have not yet announced if this is tethered or untethered
- We have not yet announced details about the exploit
- Anything you read saying it is one of the above in definite terms is just speculation, again, we have not given official word about the tether status or any details regarding the exploit used.
Update 3: Just to help cut down on speculation, here is a list of some of our Twitters, any info read on them about the jailbreak will be legitimate:
- AriX
- chronic (informal)
- chronic (formal)
- chronicdevteam
- pod2g
- posixninja
- MuscleNerd
- OPK
- saurik
- semaphore
(might have missed a few, if I did them they will be added later, so be sure to check back if you aren’t already doing so)
Update 4: Although we still can’t give any details of the exploit(s) that need to be used, I figured I’d make an update here to just let you guys know that we are still working hard on the jailbreak and making steady progress. Please keep in mind that even though we have had the method for awhile, there was a certain very key element that we (or rather, pod2g the great) only got working a few days ago, so it’s not like we have this packaged up and we are just sitting on it. It is being actively worked on as I type this (the loader, the payload itself, the easy to use computer-side tools, the payload, the patches, etc.) Just hang tight, it will definitely be worth it.
Update 5: All comments by user “Chronic Dev Sucks” and replies to him have been deleted. We will not tolerate threatening or harassment in the blog comments from either side of the little “debate” that was going on, if you’d call it that.
