Jailbreak for ios 4.0 and iphone4 just released
- ttol 16y agoThe installer works by exploiting a bug in the way Safari handles PDF files. A couple years ago, jailbreakme.com was also live but used a TIFF exploit. If you want to see the actual exploit files, go to: http://jailbreakme.modmyi.com/_/ http://jailbreakme.modmyi.com/_/ and you will see a list of PDF files by device and OS version.
- vinhboy 16y agoThank you for providing this, I love this stuff. What site do you read to keep up to date with these things?
- TimMontague 16y agoI have found the Dev-Team blog to post authoritative information about each iPhone jailbreak. http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ http://blog.iphone-dev.org/
- vinhboy 16y agoAlright so using a pdf analysis tool, here is what it spits out: http://pastebin.com/hCKtL8qC http://pastebin.com/hCKtL8qC Some of that looks like Obj-C to me, what's the other stuff?

- nikils 16y agoUsing this exploit is it possible to install any app ? I mean by passing the app-store ?
- sev 16y agoOut of curiosity...does this information make it easy for apple to stop this method of jb-ing? If so, why publicize details?
- bonzoesc 16y agoThe information is very useful for education, and Apple really should fix this, since it's a way to root the device by viewing a PDF.
- scootklein 16y agohow long did everyone's take? mine has been stuck on "sit tight" for about 15 minutes.
- tdfx 16y agoMine took about 5 minutes.
- geuis 16y agoSaw this live an hour ago on Twit. Don't do this on an iPad yet. It screwed up Leo Laporte's live.

- matthew-wegner 16y agoJust did this on an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0.1. Worked like a charm! Some of the Cydia repositories are being hit hard and may time out the first time you load Cydia (BigBoss especially). Edit: MyWi's USB tethering works, looks like Wifi tethering does not.
- sev 16y agoTried wifi tethering and it worked. Although at first it didn't...so I went into settings changed some settings around and then back to how they were at first and hit 'done' and it worked. Sorry for the non-technical explanation but that worked for me.
- ttol 16y agoLost my FaceTime capability after jailbreak.
- matthew-wegner 16y agoLooks like MMS vanished too, at least for me. UPDATE: You can work around by doing a backup first, jailbreaking, and then restoring from backup (which just copies settings/etc over). Stays jailbroken. If you have a pre-jailbreak backup apply that to fix.
- ttol 16y agoconfirmed. wonder what else is broken.
- ttol 16y agoPeople on twitter are saying if you jailbreak from jailbreakme.com, and then do a full restore, you will get FaceTime/MMS functionality back. Unconfirmed
- matthew-wegner 16y agoCydia has now released an update to their base package to fix this. It's a permission problem (can manually fix via SSH too): chmod 755 /private/var/mobile/Library; chmod 755 /private/var/mobile/Library/Preference after that Reset Network Settings
- spahl 16y agoDamnit! Why did I click on this link... I didn't even need this... Full restore failed for me. I'm trying this procedure: http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=10298203&postcount=41 http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=10298203&post...
- dhimes 16y agoDamnit! Why did I click on this link... I didn't even need this... Talent does what it can, Hackers do what they must :) (Apologies to Edward Bulwer-Lytton)
- ronnier 16y agoI posted this on another thread... I'd like to know how this works. Using this method, couldn't any site install arbitrary software on an iPhone through Safari without the user knowing? Or am I missing something?
- ryanpetrich 16y agoYes, it exploits a flaw in how the iPhone (and OS X presumably) handles PDF files to be able to run arbitrary code. I expect Apple will release an update that closes the hole.
- gizmomagico 16y agoWell, does this mean that most iPhones out there are full of spyware then? And why not?
- DougBTX 16y agoPresumably not yet. But the blueprints to own any iOS device via a remote web exploit just got put online, with thousands of links pointing to them.
- xtac 16y agoI urge anyone looking to do this to: 1. save your shsh keys locally and to cydia 2. If you are on 4.0 do not upgrade 3. Wait couple more days for reports
- alexkiwi 16y agoFinally. I've really missed iBlacklist, in the first week on iPhone 4 I had too many "should have been blocked" calls. Why do ex-girlfirends of many years ago think calling now is a good idea?
- hop 16y agoCan anyone recommend the best tethering app for a jailbroken iPhone 4?
- ronnier 16y agoOnce it's jailbroken, you don't need an app. Just install the correct "profile" and it enables tethering natively.
- tomkinstinch 16y agoDo you know if this will attract attention or fees from AT&T under their newly-priced tethering model?
- ajg1977 16y agoPossibly. Until now AT&T have ignored (or been unable to detect) people who had artificially enabled tethering. Now that they have an official tethering plan,if they do have a way to detect unofficial tetherers then they may automatically add tethering to your account. This is similar to what happens if they detect you using a smartphone without a data plan.
- whatusername 16y agoThey charge you for just having a phone that can use data? Or they charge you because you are actually using data? If it's the first then it is crazy.
- spicyj 16y agoIf I'm not mistaken, the unsigned configuration profile fix comes with the carrier unlock (not out for the iPhone 4 yet), not the jailbreak.
- ajg1977 16y agoYou're mistaken. I never unlocked my 3GS but had tethering enabled for most of the 3.x lifecycle.
- ddustin 16y agoWoo!
- ddustin 16y agoCan't wait for them to release the unlock... :-\
- tlrobinson 16y agoFun. Of course the same exploit can be used to (maliciously) own your phone from any webpage. I wonder if this is exploitable through iAds. And how long would it take anyone to notice such an attack, if it were stealthier than this jailbreak...
- prbuckley 16y agoWill this type of jailbreak let you use the iPhone 4 on a different carrier?
- plemer 16y agoFrom http://www.iphonehacks.com/2010/08/jailbreakme-20-released-to-jailbreak-iphone-4-iphone-3gs-iphone-3g-on-ios-4-ios-401-and-ipad-on-ios-3-2-1-ios-3-2-via-mobile-.html http://www.iphonehacks.com/2010/08/jailbreakme-20-released-t... "Update 4: If you want to unlock your iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G then you need to first jailbreak your iPhone on iOS 4 or iOS 4.0.1 using JailbreakMe and then install Ultrasn0w 0.93 to unlock your iPhone."
- ttol 16y agoThat doesn't answer parent poster's question. iPhone 4 unlock will come in next 24 hours. It's in last round of testing. You can use ultrasn0w 0.93 to unlock 3GS or 3G right now though.
- xutopia 16y agoYou can get an unlocked iPhone 4 in Canada now. Some are popping up on ebay like crazy.
- thought_alarm 16y agoShouldn't this be posted on Cracker News instead?
- bjonathan 16y agoJailbreakme.com is overloaded, you can connect to that mirror throught your iPhone: http://jailbreakme.modmyi.com http://jailbreakme.modmyi.com
- desigooner 16y agoMMS works for me after jailbreaking but the MobileTerminal doesn't run .. it crashes every time I try to load it. Is anybody else experiencing the same issue?
- jordanmessina 16y agoI'm experiencing this same issue. I also have MMS and Facetime working, although I got it pretty late in the day yesterday so they probably already fixed that issue.
- logic 16y agoMobileTerminal appears to be fundamentally broken on iOS4, at least as shipped in Cydia (it was when I upgraded and jailbroke my 3G). But, you can grab the latest version from the project's website, and install it via SSH: http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/ http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/
- desigooner 16y agoHere's a good list of Jailbreak applications that are compatible with iOS4 and iPhone4. https://spreadsheets.google.com/lv?key=tz1lkTAAwtDi_7HJxef0Vgg&f=true&gid=1 https://spreadsheets.google.com/lv?key=tz1lkTAAwtDi_7HJxef0V...
