Dev Team: jailbreak firmware 4.0.2? does not make any new changes
Do you like this story?
The Dev Team has recently updated his official blog posting a new article which takes stock of the situation regarding the new firmware 4.0.2 jailbreak, released by Apple a few weeks ago and in fact does not make any new changes to software iPhone than to go to fix the security flaw in Safari that allowed execution of code JailbreakMe. Many of you will be wondering "When will the new jailbreak for 4.0.2 firmware?". Well, this article found the answer.
Here are the words of the official Dev Team comment on the situation of 4.0.2 jailbreak for IOS:
Jailbreakme v2.0 was a great success, and was easy to use for Jailbreakers and unlockers that could be used on all devices with firmware 4.0.2/3.2.2 below. Who among you has saved its blob SHSH from Cydia, or who has saved locally, it will always be able to benefit from jailbreakme.com v2.0. Congratulations!
Now, a couple of weeks, Apple has closed the exploit jailbreakme.com exploited by new devices and updated firmware 4.0.2/3.2.2 are waterproof. So now, people will begin to wonder: will there be a jailbreak for 4.0.2 IOS devices uprights, out-of-the-box (devices created with the latest firmware Apple)?
No, there will be. Firmware 4.0.2 has been released only to fix the flaw exploited by JailbreakMe. With firmware 4.1 is still in beta that does not make sense to play "cat and mouse" with Apple to make that release updates to correct only exploits identified for the jailbreak. To cite WOPR, "the only winning move is not play."
If the game of cat and mouse goes too fast, especially during periods of beta testing a new firmware does not benefit anyone but Apple. For this reason, there will be dedicated to jailbreak firmware 4.0.2 since in this period, this version is the latest to be published. At best, a future jailbreak for firmware 4.1 will be compatible with version 4.0.2 (but not counted).
If you have acquired an iPhone with firmware 4.0.2 pre-installed or you have mistakenly updated to this firmware without having saved the ecides, you just have to wait for public IOS 4.1 (note that Apple could take place concurrently event dedicated music products, set for Sept. 1) and developers of Dev Team can find an exploit (there are rumors that they already have several) to allow re-jailbreak the iPhone.
