It’s been little over a week since Apple scrambled to release iOS 4.3.4 to plug the easily jailbreakable 4.3.3, and already another update has surfaced which addresses “certificate validation” vulnerabilities, and unfortunately, just like iOS 4.3.4, those of you that own an iPad 2 on iOS 4.3.5 can no longer jailbreak, not even tethered like other devices.

JailbreakMe 3.0 has received an “essential upgrade” via Cydia today, allegedly fixing previous issues that caused Apple’s Camera Connection Kit accessory, BiteSMS, and sometimes Cydia (disappearing problem) to stop working altogether. Every iOS user who has jailbroken their device with JailbreakMe 3.0 is encouraged to apply this update via Cydia as soon as possible.

SwirlySpace AB, developers of a suite of apps for both jailbroken iOS devices and non-jailbroken ones, have an app called SwirlyMessages for 3G-ready iPads which allows users to send/receive SMS and MMS. The app worked pretty well on the original iPad and we can confirm, from first-hand experience, that the app works the iPad 2 (jailbroken) as well.

JailbreakMe 3.0 continues its steady growth with 2 million jailbreaks already applied since the tool came out (officially) last week. The news was delivered by Grant Paul (also known as @chpwn) via his Twitter account.

If you’ve been paying attention to the tech news over the weekend, you’re probably aware that the first untethered jailbreak for the iPad 2, dubbed JailbreakMe 3.0, was leaked to the public. While at first we speculated that one of the testers had leaked it, it turned out that it was spotted by accident, before it was sent to tech sites all over the Internet. In an e-mail exchange between the leaker and Comex himself, the official version of JailbreakMe will be released either today or tomorrow.

Things are starting to get dramatic in the jailbreaking community. It started with yesterday’s JailbreakMe 3.0 Beta leak and the drama is reaching new heights as it appears that the domain “JailbreakMe.com” is up for auction.

Yesterday’s hottest news was the leaking of a beta version of JailbreakMe that set the jailbreaking community on fire. Goncalo wrote a step-by-step guide for interested iPad 2 owners on how to go about jailbreaking the iPad 2 with it and, today, we’ve learned about how the leaking took place.

After confirming i0n1c’s untethered jailbreak exploit for iOS 4.3.1 as “Solid”, MuscleNerd of iPhone Dev Team today has confirmed today that the upcoming jailbreak for iOS 4.3.1 will be untethered on all devices (except for iPad 2), including the 2nd-generation Apple TV.

Well it seems like BGR’s sources were spot on when they wrote about Apple patching iPad 2’s jailbreak exploit in the recently released iOS 4.3.1 firmware.

Some good news for new iPad 2 owners. Vincent, who has a good track record with what’s happening around the iPhone jailbreak scene has just tweeted that Chronic Dev Team might have a surprise for all of us.
