While Sn0wbreeze 2.7.1 can already jailbreak iOS 4.2.8 on Verizon iPhone 4, the problem is that it is for Windows users only. If you happen to be a Mac user, and want to untether jailbreak your Verizon iPhone 4 on iOS 4.2.8, you can do so now with this PwnageTool bundle.
If there is one area where Apple's iOS still lags behind Google's Android, it's in the software updating process. As things stand today, eager updaters must first be informed that an update is available and then run off to plug their iDevice into a computer for iTunes to work its magic. Contrast this with the painless over-the-air nature of Android's updates and it's clear to see where Apple needs to be focusing its energy right now.
Yes that’s right! iPhone developer and hacker ih8sn0w has released an updated version of Sn0wbreeze which finally brings support for jailbreaking Verizon iPhone 4 on iOS 4.2.7 untethered!
Earlier rumors suggested that iPhone 5 will actually come with a global support which means it will have both GSM and CDMA radios. The rumor had its basis in the Qualcomm Gobi cellular/data chipset which was found included in the Verizon iPhone 4 when it was taken to pieces.
Well yes you read that right! The CDMA based Verizon iPhone 4 has been successfully unlocked to work on pay-as-you-go Cricket Wireless network.
According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, a Chinese carrier named China Telecom has managed to unlock the CDMA based Verizon iPhone to run on their CDMA network.
Now that Verizon iPhone 4s have started being delivered all across the United States, it was only a matter of time before the guys over at iFixit took one to pieces. Now they have, they've made an interesting discovery.
So as it turned out, the Verizon iPhone 4 is vulnerable to Limera1n bootrom based exploit, and untethered GreenPois0n kernel based exploit which makes it possible to jailbreak on iOS 4.2.6, untethered using GreenPois0n RC5.4.
Verizon's iPhone has been a huge success and has already broken Verizon's all-time sales records in just 2 hours. Earlier today, we shared a commercial of Verizon iPhone which takes on AT&T's network problems. However, we did mention an upside of sticking to AT&T, which was 3G data and voice at the same time.
Yesterday Verizon made the iPhone 4 available for pre-order to its existing customers only, and managed to break the carrier's own sales records in just two hours. Perhaps most interestingly, those orders came in between the hours of 03:00 and 05:00. That's the morning folks!
