That exclusive iPhone 4S jailbreak could have simply taken an enormous step nearer to unleash. The jailbreak community’s nice hope is pod2g, who has been creating nice strides lately. Yesterday he announced that, despite his progress, he was running into processor cache problems. whereas additional obstacles can stay, the hacker has currently scratched that issue off of the matter list.
The announcement from pod2g states that the A5 processor cache isn't a drag anymore. The hacker accomplished this by doing the untether in a very single thread, dumping the right caches at set points within the method. pod2g added that he solved another nagging issue, the launchd boot method, with the assistance of Cydia creator Saurik.
The question on everyone’s mind, though, is once we will get our hands on the iPhone 4S jailbreak. pod2g (unsurprisingly) hasn’t mentioned any estimates or unleash dates. He did say “I am close” yesterday; that was before he ironed out these problems, therefore it'd be safe to mention he’s currently abundant nearer. One item price noting is that the untethered iOS five jailbreak for A4 devices (original iPad and iPhone 4) that he's performing on hasn’t released however. It’s solely speculation, however maybe pod2g is shut enough to an iPhone 4S jailbreak that he needs to attend and unleash them simultaneously.
pod2g conjointly hasn’t mentioned the iPad a pair of since last week. when finishing the main points on older iOS devices, he was designing on moving on to check the iPhone 4S and iPad a pair of. It seems that he’s tackling them one at a time, as his recent updates are associated with the iPhone 4S.
If pod2g will successfully jailbreak all iOS devices, it'd offer a brief relief for the community. 2011 has been a frustrating year for jailbreakers, with the iPad a pair of being nearly unhackable (it was solely jailbroken on the traditional iOS four.3.3) and therefore the iPhone 4S staying locked up for the primary 2 months of its unleash. Additionally, iOS five solely encompasses a tethered jailbreak for older A4 devices.
