Jailbreak the iPhone 4S: All You Need To Know


How to Jailbreak iPhone 4S ? This is the first question that logically asked after you get the newly iPhone 4S in you hands. Apple announced iPhone 4S for the first time on its famous “Let’s Talk iPhone” event in October. So it’s important to explain the situation of iPhone 4S jailbreak in details for our readers so that everyone can take his proper decision.

 

Can I jailbreak iPhone 4S with the current jailbreak tool ?

To answer this question you have to know that we separated iDevices in to two categories based on its processor’s chip. The first category included (iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod Touch 4G, 3G and iPad 1) which have a less than A5 processor. The second category included (iPhone 4S and iPad 2).

The first category can be jailbroken easily up to iOS 5 GM with the current jailbreak tool such as Redsn0w and Sn0wbreeze. In the second category, you have to know that the only exploit found to jailbreak iPad 2 was a userland exploit which took more than 1 year to develop by Comex to build JailbreakMe 3.0, but unfortunately, Apple came simply and patched it on iOS 4.3.4 firmware update after 10 days only. And you have to know that iPhone 4S coming with iOS 5.

But we still have good news for you, as the hackers have on their hands more than 5 bootrom exploits to jailbreak A5-devices , the iPhone 4S and iPad 2.

Who are involved in Jailbreak iPhone 4S task ?

This is a great and talented team. They are the guys behind the well-known jailbreak tool, Greenpois0n. P0sixninja has announced at the jailbreaking convention MyGreatFest last month that he have five bootrom exploits on the Apple A5 chip. For who don’t know the bootrom exploit are low-level bootrom exploit. What that means that Apple won’t be able to patch them with simple iOS update. Apple should make hardware update to patch them.

Another awesome part, Jailbreak iPhone 4S / iPad 2 untethered iOS 5 will be userland jailbreak which means that you will be able to jailbreak iPhone 4S / iPad 2 on iOS 5 via Safari browser just like JailbreakMe 3.0.

3rd Team – iPhone dev-team:

We reported you last month that Comex -the guy behind JailbreakMe 3.0- has announced that iPhone dev-team will make JailbreakMe 4.0 (But it won’t be on Jailbreakme.com as this domain has been sold). JailbreakMe 4.0 will jailbreak iPhone 4S / iPad 2 on iOS 5.
