We all know why Geohot left the whole jailbreak scene. He has already deleted his Twitter account, and his blog is set to invite-only viewing only. However before deleting his Twitter account, Geohot said to follow his friend Mike Cohen for all the future updates on jailbreak. He also said that “perhaps one of these days i’ll do a more formal goodbye”. And now it looks like he is probably going to make a comeback (perhaps for the last time?) with a new tool to jailbreak all iOS devices once and for all. This is what his friend mikecohenn wrote today:

What’s a good time to make it ra1n?
Of course we are all speculating here, but we cannot rule out this possibility. As MacStories notes, it may be possible that Geohot closed his blog and Twitter account to make a comeback under a new name. Lets wait and see how this story develops. Will the new “ra1n” be released before comex’s Spirit-like upcoming userland jailbreak for all iOS devices? We don’t know for sure. Only time will tell how much of this is going to come true. Let us know what you think about this in the comments section below.

Why do people still care? “I got a jailbreak, but im not going to release it until I feel like it; if you ask me to release it, i wont”. Yea he unlocked the iphone YEARS ago, times have changed. And there are obviously alot of people who are smarter and do more for the iPhone scene than he does.

Interesting, but either way utlimately nothing too game changing as of yet, no major delay to 3GS/i4 full JB and unlock on 4.0+ FW as Musclenerd and planetbeing seem very close to finishing according to recent tweets

haha your kidding right? The only thing windows phones are good for is paper weights

You acctually think that windows phone 7 is even going to put a dent in the apple and android scenes. Windows phone 7 is crap. Look at the kin and how it failed, to have a phone that focuses so much on social networking is full of fail. People use their phones for more than facebook and twitter. Ofcourse alot of people use those sites but unless you are a 14 year old girl i dont think you would buy a phone because it displays it automatically on the screen.

Geohot's pretty talented but lacks maturity and class. He has a gift that alot of people benefited from however his ego and/or ability to deal with the fame got the best of him. Dev Team and Spirit have both – talent and class. Geo might have his JB ready to release – he might have done it in a few hours or whatever but all that is shadowed by his lack of class. I hope he doesn't release it or I hope if he does, no one uses it. I wouldn't want people to use it instead of Dev Team or Spirit's JB. Dev Team/Spirit are true hackers. They deserve the glory for their hard work. Geo needs to grow up.

that makes no sense why how is the dev team better than him just caz he dosnt have classs he did it in hours and you dont even know how it wokrs u just think your cool caz you can show your friends taht you have ness on your phone

For the people that are talking SHIT about Geohotz!! Leave the poor guy alone!! At least he can jailbreak it!! And just because he havent release the software to the world doesnt made that he dont have class it means that he using his head!!! People that are upset because Geohotz is not releasing it are dumb in the first place!! If you are able to do reseach and wait until there was a software to upgrade or downgrade a phone then why are you pushing someone to the point that they dont even want to help you!! Sorry if you cant understand what I am saying, my english is not to good! or if there is any miss spelling… but thank you for listening!
