JailbreakMe, Best Way To Jailbreak Your iOS Device.

JailbreakMe http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/

Jailbreaking an iPhone or another iOS device used to be a hassle and and a field where many people tread with fear of bricking their iDevices. Jailbreaking has come a long way and now it is perfectly legal to jailbreak your phone, be it iPhone or any other smartphone (The Library of Congress approved a DMCA exemption in 2010 for jailbreaking cell phones).

"Along with the jailbreak, I am releasing a patch for the main vulnerability which anyone especially security conscious can install to render themselves immune; due to the nature of iOS, this patch can only be installed on a jailbroken device. Until Apple releases an update, jailbreaking will ironically be the best way to remain secure."

JailbreakMe is doing a great job of freeing iPhones, iPods and iPads. JailbreakMe automatically includes Cydia, a package management interface that serves as an alternative to the iTunes Appstore.

Recently released JailbreakMe 3.0 is capable of freeing most of the iOS devices. Freeing means, that you are able to install apps from other than from iTunes, like Cydia, the way your iPhone should be. JailbreakMe 3.0 has been able to free closer to 2 million iPhones, iPods and iPads from Steve Jobs clutches, er I meant Tim Cook.

It is much easier than the way we did our initial jailbreaks using more common paths, such as Blackra1n and redsn0w.

The big boys of jailbreaking were responsible for the JailbreakMe, and brought to you by comex, with the help of Grant Paul (chpwn), Jay Freeman (saurik), MuscleNerd, and many others.



To quote JailbreakMe and Comex;

JailbreakMe is the easiest way to free your device. Experience iOS as it could be, fully customizable, themeable, and with every tweak you could possibly imagine.

Safe and completely reversible (just restore in iTunes), jailbreaking gives you control over the device you own. It only takes a minute or two, and as always, it's completely free.

Please make an iTunes backup before jailbreaking.

So visit JailbreakMe, after making an iTunes backup, on your iPad, iPad2, iPhone or iPod to see how to free your iDevice.

It was discovered that iOS 5 beta 3 jailbreak has problems with apps. Many are reporting the issue prompting people to halt upgrading and / or jailbreaking. It is believed to be a problem with sandbox. So if you are not savvy with iOS and it's workings, wait for the problem to be resolved before upgrading. Even MuscleNerd says Devs only!
Earlier @MuscleNerd announced that iOS 5 beta 3 could be jailbroken with Redsn0w beta that was able to jailbreak iOS 5 earlier.
So if you are not put off by not being able to run app store apps, you can get the Redsn0w from iPhone Dev Team;
To download redsn0w, use the following links:

iOS 5 Jailbroken! MuscleNerd!

iOS 5 Jailbroken! http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
Looks like it did not take much time to Jailbreak iOS5. Apple only released iOS 4.3.3 on Wednesday, the next major version of the iOS family and that will not reach general folks for a few more months. But if you are into jailbreaking iPhones and iPads and wondering if things will work out once iOS5 is released, fear not. It has already been done. iOS has been jailbroken by MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team!

The jailbreak is in early stages now but from the photos MuscleNerd released on tweetpic, it is currently running on a fourth gen iPod and you can see photos below;

JailBreak Wars! Geohot & Limera1n Jailbreaks iOS 4.1, Upsets Jailbreak Applecart.

#JailBreak Wars! #Geohot & #Limera1n Jailbreaks iOS 4.1,  http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/

Limera1n has been released to Jailbreak iOS 4.1 in what seems like a showdown among dev teams. iPhone Dev Team and Chronic Dev Team are not very happy about Geohot for releasing the reportedly buggy exploit on his own.
We have been fans of iPhone Dev Team for eons and Chronic Dev Team has been in our radar recently. But Geohot's Blackra1n has been around and helped us to jailbreak iPhone OS 3.1.2 in last October!
The iPhone Dev Team, or the member MuscleNerd to be exact, has mentioned that the Limera1n will relock phones opened with Ultrasn0w, one of the most used jailbreaking software. The iPhone Dev Team is asking people to withhold the SHAtter exploit and Chronic Dev Team is going to modify GreenPoison jailbreak to use Geohots exploit.

But the real reason for the fight is that if there are too many exploits are in the open, Apple can fix all of the once and make it harder for people using jailbroken iOS devices.
What is more is that the jailbreak with Limera1n seem to act differently on different devices. Engadget found some of the icons missing after restart and didn't regain App Store, Maps, Game Center and Calendar even after a restore.I guess better wait and test the waters. But if you are brave, follow the link below for windowss based Limera1n, don't get too wet.
