SHAtter Will Jailbreak All Existing iOS Devices For Life
We had reported that iPhone hacker pod2g of the Chronic Dev Team had discovered a bootrom exploit that could help in jailbreaking iOS 4.1. We have more details about the exploit. The exploit that pod2g has discovered is the first exploit of the S5L8930 chip, Apple’s A4 chip, which is...

Teathered? interesting.
-
that actually sounds sucky i hope they find a way for an untethered jailbreak as well, but tethered will be ok for the mean time
-
Tethered? Then they should call it 'Shitter' instead.
-
Oh there may still likely be an unteathered break, but what's important about this one is that you will always be able to do it on the device you have now, no matter what version apple puts up. So no waiting for new jailbreak when a new version comes out.
-
Wow, junkkkkk!!!!!!
-
Way to go Dev and chronic Team! You guys rock.
-
i thought that bootromexploits are untethered becacause you can change the boot logo and recovery logo?
-
I was wondering when the complaining would start?
Not very long for you Fags to come out of the woodwork!! -
enjoying my 4.0.1 unlocked iphone 4 while waiting jailbreak....

enjoying my unlocked iphone 4 on 4.0.1 while waiting jailbreak for 4.1
-
dont release a jailbreak because nobody wants it???????
-
yea i know thats the part i like about it, have only rebooted my iphone4 once since i had it and i only did it then to see how long it took to boot up compared to my old 3G
-
hey dev guys, keep up the good work and please take your time to build a jailbreaking tool that is stable and easy to use. Godspeed....!!
-
Geohot is gay the end
-
Thay, that's unnethethary!! Iths Gayths!!!
-
Thanks pod2g! Much appreciated. Just don't do the Geohot shuffle. We need you man!
-
Teathered.. Kind of a downer, i work all day nd by the end of the day my iPhone 4 is dead so re jailbreaking it everytime that's kind of a bummer still kool it can be jailbroken but untethered is the way to go
-
Tethered wouldnt be so bad if you didnt have to renistall EVERYTHING you had. But i guess it will do. I will wait for a regular JB. Thanks for the hard work.
-
Tethered jailbreak? Sounds VERY inconvenient...would I have to reinstall and reconfigure my JB apps and plugins every time as well?
I'm a huge JB fan, and I appreciate all the hard work the Devs put in for our collective benefit, but this sounds lousy. -
no, your ipod/iphone would just not boot unless you had a computer handy. once you just kicked it on then it would be just fine
it is however very inconvenient, and i am so happy the comex jailbreakme thing is untethered -
Umm... you never had to reinstall everything you had. You just had to plug your phone in, and run blackrain.
-
Who cares if it is tethered? am I only speaking for myself when I say I NEVER turn off my phone...sheesh. thanks guys....i'm as happy as a clam
-
you obviously don't fly much. For business travelers, it could be a little inconvenient. But its better than nothing.
-
One concern is when springboard crashes? Or upgrading of cydia items requires respring or reboot I guess that's why lots are worried about it?
-
i got tierd of this cat and mouse and game and went with a droid x..and am very happy i did..screw apple..for not letting us use our phone to its full capabilities.
-
Tethered? Maybe untethered would be better for unlockers? As everytime the jailbreak is gone, i can't use the current carrier and itunes locked my device. But still, thanks.
-
I'm happy the JB will work on my iPad, but any JB for my iPhone 3GS?
Thanks for the great work Pod2g has put in to make this JB possible!
-
I don't like to being tethered..
-
You guys are crybaby assholes. Yes it's tethered. But right now there's no other option. If you can't live with that then don't use this jailbreak. Wait for another jailbreak to come out that doesn't need to be tethered.
And tethered doesn't mean you'll lose apps/settings/etc. All that mean is that if you reboot your phone (not respring, but reboot) you'll have to hook up to a computer to allow it to continue the boot process.
Additionally, since tethering requires a computer when you reboot it is inconvenient. But it's the price you have to pay. Reboots don't happen often. Yes, if you run out of battery or turn the phone off on an airplane, then that sucks. But for people with chargers and people who know what airplane mode is it's not an issue. Also, don't install apps that require a reboot unless you're near a computer. You know, WAIT to do that.
This is awesome news for people like me. I had my 3GS jailbroke on 3.1.3 but had to get a warranty replacement and lost the ability to jailbreak (since Apple gave me a replacement with 4.0.2 on it). I miss all the configurations and settings jailbreak gives me (and no, the Apple "multitasking" isn't near the same). I want to thank the Chronic Dev Team and all other jailbreak hackers for their hard work. These folks do this for FREE. We don't pay them for their work. We should be thanking these guys instead of being complete jerkoffs towards them.
Show some goddamned respect you guys.

How will this affect the ability to unblock your phone?
I currently live in spain but will be moving within a week to USA and want to take my iphone 4 but not sure it will be much used if its gonna be such a hassel to unblock it.
