The iPhone hacker and developer behind Sn0wbreeze has managed to jailbreak iOS 4.2 for iPad. This of course has been achieved using Geohot’s untethered bootrom level Limera1n exploit. The image below shows full root access using MobileTerminal on iOS 4.2 Beta 3 for iPad.

After releasing PwnageTool 4.1.1 yesterday, the iPhone Dev Team today has silently updated PwnageTool to 4.1.2 to fix jailbreaking issues for OS X 1.5.x Leopard users.

The iPhone Dev Team has finally released PwnageTool 4.1 which is based on recently released Geohot’s bootrom-based Limera1n exploit.

iPhone developer and hacker iH8sn0w has shared more screenshots from the upcoming version of Sn0wbreeze which is going to support almost all iOS based devices.
