GreenPois0n has been updated to add support for jailbreaking iPod touch 2G (MC and Non-MC Model) running iOS 4.1. You can either use Windows, or the Mac version of GreenPois0n RC4 to jailbreak iPod touch 2G on iOS 4.1. Support for iPod touch 2G in Linux version of GreenPois0n will be added soon.
Scheduled for next week, Apple’s Back to the Mac event is set to unveil such things as OS X 10.7 (Lion?), iLife ‘11 and an all-new MacBook Air.
Back in July, Apple officially announced that they would be delaying the white iPhone 4 to a non-specific date (sometime later in 2010, according to an email exchange) because they were turning out “to be more challenging to manufacture than [Apple] originally expected”.
MuscleNerd of iPhone Dev Team has teased a little video which shows off the upcoming PwnageTool in action. This new version of PwnageTool is based on Geohot’s Limera1n bootrom exploit which will allow us to restore custom cooked firmwares (without the upgraded 05.14.04 / 2.10.4 basebands) on almost all the current iOS devices, including: iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS (new bootrom), Apple TV, iPad and iPod touch 4G / 3G.
While this is no where near as gigantic as a Verizon iPhone 5 deal would’ve been, it still is rather news-worthy: Apple’s smartphone-and-notebook-bridging gadget - the iPad - will be offered by Verizon Wireless and AT&T in the US starting 28th October.
George Francis Hotz is known for being among the group of people who first unlocked the iPhone to work on carriers other than those which Apple officially supported e.g. AT&T. He went to release jailbreaking tools like purplera1n, blackra1n, blacksn0w, a hack the PS3 and recently Limera1n which jailbreaks iOS 4.1.
Apple has just released iOS 4.2 Beta 3 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. This beta build, like any other iOS beta is meant for developers only. Only members enrolled in the iPhone Developer Standard or Enterprise Program can access these bits of by signing into Apple Developer Connection.
iOS 4.1.1 is looming near! The update is set to fix a daylight savings bug in iOS’ alarm clock app that causes alarms to sound an hour early. The update is also set to patch hacker comex’ untethering hack which is used by Geohot’s Limera1n jailbreaking tool for iOS 4.1.
Even though Chronic Dev Team hasn’t announced the tethered status for the SHAtter based GreenPois0n tool yet, but if this tweet from the well known Cydia developer is anything to go by, GreenPois0n is most likely going to be an untethered jailbreak for iPhone 4, iPad, iPod touch 4G and Apple TV 2G on iOS 4.1.
GreenPois0n is gearing up to be one heck of a jailbreaking tool. The low-level SHAtter exploit based tool is expected to release soon (no exact ETA) and will be pwning all iOS devices ever released for life.
