I will neither confirm nor deny an iOS 5 untether from @msuiche and @thegrugq
I will also not confirm or deny a iOS 5 untether from @0xcharlie and @dinodaizovi
I will also not confirm or deny an iOS 5 untether from @p0sixninja and @pod2g
However, he also tweeted that the untethered jailbreak for the iOS 5 has been achieved successfully. But Esser didn’t disclose the identity of the hacker:
As far as I know iOS 5 untether is covered by other people already. Guess who :P
At the moment, you can only tethered jailbreak iPad 1, iPhone 4 (both CDMA and GSM), iPhone 3GS (untethered jailbreak for iPhone 3GS old bootrom), iPod Touch 4G, and iPod Touch 3G (sorry, but there still no iPad 2 jailbreak on iOS 4.3.4 and above) on iOS 5 GM. And it is widely expected, if everything goes according to the plan, the untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 will be released after the release (at least a week or 2) of the final version of the iOS 5 firmware. It is also expected that this untethered jailbreak exploit will be implemented in all iPhone / iPad jailbreak tools, such as the Redsn0w, PwnageTool, Greenpois0n, and Sn0wbreeze.
Anyway, for those of you who can’t wait for the iOS 5 untethered jailbreak support, you can use Redsn0w 0.9.9b3/4 or with Sn0wbreeze 2.8b4 to tethered jailbreak iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch on iOS 5 GM. So, are you excited to get 100% untethered jailbreak on iOS 5 firmware.
