Geohot Has Another Untethered iBoot-Level Exploit for Jailbreaking Future iOS Devices like iPhone 5, iPad 2G

Incase you were wondering why Geohot used a userland exploit from Comex to make Limera1n untethered, it was because he did not wanted to waste his untethered version of bootrom exploit which seems to be more powerful than the exploit used in Limera1n. Both Comex and MuscleNerd has confirmed that Geohot has in his possession a new untethered bootrom level exploit which can be used to pwn future iOS devices like iPhone 5 and iPad 2G for life.

comex: @esemede he would have implemented his own untether, but that would be wasting an exploit

MuscleNerd: (translating that retweet of @comex: geohot has an iboot-level untethered exploit but held it back to conserve exploits)

So there you go! With Chronic Dev Team’s SHAtter, Geohot’s new untethered bootrom exploit and Comex’s userland-based hacks, future seems safe and brighter for the jailbreak community.
