Greenpois0n to Release on 10/10/10 at 10:10:10AM (GMT); Beware of Fake Greenpois0n Downloads

When Greenpois0n Apple iOS 4.1 jailbreaking solution launches, it is expected to jailbreak all iOS devices, including the iPhone 4. Reports claim that Greenpois0n will be released on Sunday, 10 October at 10:10:10 a.m. These reports have stemmed from P0sixninja’s tweet on Thursday, informing “Things have progressed to the point where we don’t expect anymore roadblocks. ETA for Greenpois0n is 10/10/10 at 10:10:10AM (GMT).” Meanwhile, even as users wait for the download, a fake version, stuffed with malware, is floating.

Kaspersky Lab has noted that cybercriminals are “riding the buzz” around Greenpois0n; and also noticed a spate of fake ‘Greenpois0n’ Trojans. What’s more, a new fake greenpois0n iPhone iOS 4.1 jailbreak website is also up. It claims to have Greenpois0n download links for Windows/Mac and charges users $30 for the software.

For those waiting for the genuine Greenpois0n, here’s a thumbnail to save your day: if the solution is not free and not from the Chronic Dev Team, it’s not the real thing, and possibly a malware. Beware!

GreenPois0n Jailbreak for iOS 4.1 will Support Hacktivation

It's the time for some jailbreak news! We just noticed a new feature will be included in GreenPois0n jailbreak for all devices running iOS 4.1. The upcoming GreenPois0n jailbreak tool will hacktivate your device. Hacker p0sixninja member of Chornic Dev Team has answered someone asking about hacktivation support in Greenpois0n.

Caio Barros asking p0sixninja about the hacktivation:

@p0sixninja will gp hacktivate ip4.. please answer. i need to know

Hacker p0six ninja answered:

@caiolbarros yes

For those who don't know, hacktivation means a lot for users whose devices are locked on AT&T carrier and don't have the official SIM. You won't need to buy a phonebook card to activate your device, so you can unlock your device easily. There still not ETA for the release, we will keep you informed about any updates (like tethered or untethered!), stay tuned!

GreenPois0n Jailbreak May Be Released Before Saturday

Yup, you read it right! The all-in-one jailbreak for iOS 4.1 may be released before Saturday, (i.e. it will be released this week). I thought a lot before posting this news but I found it interesting to tell people what's going on about the jailbreak especially that we make big (really big) news from simple tweets.

Update: GreenPois0n Launch Date Confirmed Next Sunday, Stay Tuned for That.

Chronic Dev Team member p0sixninja has confirmed this in a reply to someone asking him if the jailbreak will be released before Saturday:

Please, don't tell me that's some shit -- it's very important to keep our users informed. So, this means that the jailbreak may be released tonight, or probably tomorrow. Till now, we didn't know anything about tethered status, but we know that it will hacktivate your devices (no, not unlock).

Stay tuned folks!

Future Comex Jailbreak will Jailbreak iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 3G on iOS 4.1

It was just moments ago when we told you that GreenPois0n jailbreak which is scheduled to be launched on Sunday 11th October, will not jailbreak anything but 4th-generation devices. In a new tweet from MuscleNerd, has confirmed that Comex is working on a new jailbreak for other devices as iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 3G.

SHAtter doesn't apply to iPhone3GS (or iPod touch 3G). New owners of those should wait for future @comex JB

It's clear, Comex, the iPhone hacker behind untethered Spirit jailbreak and userland JailbreakMe is working on a new jailbreak to jailbreak those old devices. Also, there's a new version of PwnageTool in it's way to jailbreak iPhone 3GS and a Windows version of Redsn0w to jailbreak iPhone 3G.

GreenPois0n Will Jailbreak iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G and iPad ONLY

After a bunch of good news about the ETA and Untethered status of GreenPois0n jailbreak for iOS 4.1. Here comes some bad news, unfortunately GreenPois0n will not jailbreak anything but 4th-generation devices. 4th-generation devices indicates to iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G and iPad only, nothing more.

To all asking. Yes unfortunately SHAtter just won't work with anything but the 4th gen devices :(

Please remember that SHAtter and greenpoison are /only/ possible on the fourth-gen devices: iPad, iPhone 4, and iPod touch 4G.

This don't mean that other devices won't be jailbroken on iOS 4.1. According to iPhone Dev Team member Daniel Peebles, it's expected to find new exploits to jailbreak iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 3G. We will keep you informed.


Update 1: Calm down, Comex will deliver a jailbreak for iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 3G users, the exploit may works on iOS 4.2 too.

redsn0w for Windows released iPhone 3G / ipt2g

We’ve released a beta version of redsn0w for the iPhone3G and iPod Touch 2G at FW 4.1 or 4.0.  It uses the same pwnage2 DFU-mode exploit that we’ve been using since the 2.x days.  It does not include the SHAtter exploit developed by pod2g.  Nothing new is revealed to Apple with this jailbreak.

IF YOU USE THE ULTRASN0W UNLOCK, PLEASE WAIT FOR PWNAGETOOL TO SUPPORT 4.1.  DO NOT USE REDSN0W.  That’s because to use redsn0w at 4.1, you need to already have updated to official 4.1 from Apple.  If you do that, you lose the ultrasn0w unlock (possibly forever).

The Windows version needs further testing, so for now this is available only for Mac OS X x86.  The Windows version will come as soon as the bugs are ironed out.

Note: if you have an “MC” model of the ipt2g, your 4.1 jailbreak will be tethered…sorry!  (Consider rolling back to a FW supported by jailbreakme.com or spiritjb.com)

===== What devices, platforms, and FW versions are supported? =====

This BETA release supports:

• iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G only (for now)
• Mac OS X x86 and Windows only (for now)
• 4.1 or 4.0 firmware from Apple

                                        

===== How do I use it? =====

If you’ve already updated your device to 4.1 or 4.0, the next steps are:

1. Launch the beta redsn0w 0.9.6b1
2. Select your stock 4.1 or 4.0 ipsw (you’ve already used this to update your device to 4.1 or  4.0)
3. Select “Install Cydia” and any of the other options shown above, then click “Next”.  Use DFU mode to install the jailbreak.

Note: If you choose to “Enable battery percentage”, you actually toggle that off and on via Settings->General->Usage.
