Dev-Team SHAtters an iPod Touch 4G

The Dev-Team recently updated their blog saying that they have begun testing the exploit developed by @pod2g, into a beta version of PwnageTool to get a head start on things.

Those of you with Apple’s new iPod touch 4G, or those of you who bought another recent device after the jailbreakme.com exploit was closed, have probably heard about a brand new exploit called SHAtter. The exploit (and payload) was developed by @pod2g a few months after @p0sixninja of the Chronic Dev Team discovered the crash. That team is hard at work bringing you a brand new tool to make use of the exploit. It’s not the sort of thing that can be developed overnight so please be patient while waiting for any announcements from them.

In the meantime, we’ve put @pod2g’s exploit into a beta version of PwnageTool to test the waters. The SHAtter exploit was enough to convince the iPod touch 4G to restore to our custom IPSW. The successful result is shown below! It’s all working: customized Preferences to show battery percentage, Cydia, root shell…the works!

If your reading the title of this guide and asking yourself “What is an old bootrom”, please, go back to what you were doing and relax until the next jailbreak is released. If you however do understand what’s going on here with the old bootrom jailbreaks, continue reading.

RedmondPie had posted a great guide on getting PwnageTool to create a custom IPSW for iOS 4.0.2 which allows you to jailbreak. IF for some reason you cannot downgrade and are stuck on 4.0.2, this guide will come in handy.

Let’s begin:

Step 1: Download and install the latest version of iTunes.

Step 2: Now start iTunes and sync your iPhone with your PC or Mac so that it backs-up all your important data including settings, apps, music, contacts and photos.

[How-To] Jailbreak iOS 4.0.2 for iPhone 3G, iPod 2G with Redsn0w

Posted by jailbreaknews on Aug 19, 2010 in Apple, Apple, Cydia Apps, Guides, iPhone | 2 comments

Last week Apple released iOS 4.0.2 which was merely a patch to block the recently created http://jailbreakme.com, however, interestingly enough, they did not fix the redsn0w exploit for iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G. So if you own an iPhone 3G or an iPod 2G all you need to do is simply use the lastest release of Redsn0w 0.9.5-b5 beta. This release will also hacktivate your iPhone 3G on 4.0.2, if you have not already been activated using iTunes.

If you require an unlock simply install ultrasn0w.
