iOS 4.1 Exploit Already Discovered, New Jailbreak On The Way.
The iPhone hacker who previously found the 24kpwn exploit has successfully managed to find another bootrom based exploit which can jailbreak all iOS based devices on the latest iOS 4.1 firmware. What this means is that the next jailbreak most probably is going to be based on bootrom exploit which unlike JailbreakMe will enable users to change boot and recovery mode logos among many other things.
Members of iPhone-Dev Team confirmed this on Twitter:
cpich3g: congrats to @pod2g for the latest exploit and also @p0sixninja who have been trying for months.
pod2g: iPhone 4G iBSS 4.0.1: iv=91f94e5d726a2d2f2c7ffad58d4f3b77 key=d05c3c40db40e738926f811b8b1314038d26096c4102461698a49098c47a3fe6
MuscleNerd: Crazy timing that @pod2g got latest exploit just as 4.1 went public (lots of work left…keep away from 4.1 for now!)
Also, the best thing about a low-level bootrom exploit is that Apple wont be able to patch it simply by releasing a new firmware update. Instead, it will require Apple to release a revised hardware version of iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad and the iPod touches with new bootroms in order to patch the bootrom exploit. This is the reason why iOS devices (like iPhone 3GS (new bootrom), iPhone 4, iPad, iPod touch 3G / 4G) which shipped after November 2009 are currently not jailbreakable via PwnageTool because it uses the 24kpwn bootrom exploit, already patched by Apple.
Stay tuned as we will keep you updated as soon as we get more info about this!

How did you jump to the conclusion that a Jailbreak for 4.1 was on the way when the Key and entire tweet was about a 4.0.1 exploit? That has nothing to do with 4.0.1 and does’t help a 4.1 Jailbreak at all.
@Moo, because 4.0.1 and 4.1 have the same bootrom. Like it says in the ARTICLE, right up THERE, there’s no way they can patch out a bootrom exploit.
Like it says it’s a bootrom exploit firmware doesn’t matter, they can’t patch it, it’s hardware.
I hope this is goner happen hope its not like greenposion be nice to have bootrom exploit um a lot of chronic devhaters will respect these guys now lets just hope they dont blag us all again congrats to them
Comes the jailbreak this Week or the Next Week?? Im whiting so i have 4.0.2
you are the Dream Team Greets from Switzerland !!
@ Roger
Don’t ASK
BTW nice englisch skills xD
I have IPhone4 with 4.0.2 firmwere unlocked, shall I update to 4.1 firmwere or just wait till DEV TEAM publish something. will you please tell me what to do?
Yes upgrade. if your on 4.0.2 unjailbroken, then just sit tight for the jb. Don’t upgrade beyond 4.1 if apple release a new ios which is unlikely.
Motluck how you unlocked the 4.0.2
If I’m already jb on 4.0.1 can I upgrade to 4.1 or will that remove my jb
dont forget you can jailbreak your 3g running 4.0.2 update using redsn0w. mine is running fine.
I have a 3GS…Sry I left that out of my prev comment.
When’s it going to come out?
Seeing as though they found the exploit only a few days ago, and DEVTEAM will probably want an untethered jailbreak, and it takes a long time to do it. I’d say it’ll be a few weeks. However I am in no way an official person for this, so that is just a guess
Does anyone know if it will work for 3g touch?
Of course it will
Im assuming it will work for touch 4G
Of course it will.
Please read the article before adding fucking comments
Fox fuck u. U like to eat cum from guys u bitch.
Come on let’s not get personal here guys… We should all stand side by side.
Ridha is right we should. They helped us slot and the Dev team comix and everyone thanks alot from Singapore Sam
Hey I was just remarking that people should read well before asking stupid questions. It says that “Instead It will require Apple to release revised hardware versions etc…” So it will work for any idevice that exists. By the way, was there any reason to insult me like that? I don’t even know you, someguy.
I’m a gay faggot that likes to eat cum from guys like geohot. I’m a bitch whore slut bastard
Dueshbag. A ass licker. A dick licker. A motherfucker. A dumbass. And I like to get gangbang in the anal.
Wow. Fox. Your one sick son of bitch. You shouldn’t be doing that stuff. That’s just pure homosexual
Fox you should really not be an ass because i said im assuming it would. How would they know if it worked with that bootrom maybe apple changed it. You cant just think your always right
This all is ridiculous. I did not offend anyone, yet now you’re writing sick things under my name. Come on that’s just despicable! Anyway I only just wanted to remark that everybody should pay attention. Dru, I’m sorry ok? It was just a bad day for me. Please let’s close this “debate”.
Hi Fox,
The reason i asked whether it would work on 3g touch is because most articles i have read say that it exploits the bootrom in the a4 chip, and from what i’ve read the 3g touch does not run on a4.
Oh well, thanks for your reply.
peace out
I’m guessing fox is a 40 year old virgin living at his mothers house. Am I close?
This is just rediculous. This is called jailbreaknews.com for a reason, not something else. Does the site not censor the comments at all. Maybe they should look into that.
The bigger question is when the jailbreak is coming out, it got off on a wild tangent to personal insults. And for hardware questions like the supposed A4 chip on the iPod 3g you can google that I assume.
I luv gay guys like Fox. I like to eat his cum. Cuz I’m a faggot. I’m also a bitch bastard dueshbag. And I’m pure gay.
Okay… That’s it for me!
Hope You guys grow up.
I’m out og here…
My bad I didn’t finish. I’m og here so I can eat some cum from Daniel and Fox.
I’m sorry. I certainly didn’t want to start this. Daniel is totally right. Please just stop it. If you think this is funny, than Daniel is right: grow up.
I didn’t want to offend anyone, if i did please forgive me.
Anyway, for all we know, we have a bootrom exploit which will work on all current devices. It is being worked on by people we should all thank and maybe donate to, and we know nothing more. I’m not writing any more comments
I want to unlock the network in my iPhone 3Gs but the problem the modem firmware it’s 05.14.02
How i have to do ? Give me a solution please .
