i0n1c has announced that he will likely release his untether for the iOS 4.3 jailbreak before next weekend.

Because of several changes in iOS 4.3 in comparison to iOS 4.2.1 the jailbreak is NOT READY yet. That is what the *ALPHA* means. I need some time to check what kernel patches are actually required to work 100%ly.

However I recommend the dev-team or chronic-dev to first release a *tethered* iOS 4.3 so that everyone can test if their nice feature actually work. I guess most people require Mobile Substrate to work and AFAIK it does not work due to ASLR. It would be a waste if Apple kills an untethered jailbreak before Mobile Substrate works.

That said I will release the jailbreak when a) there is no other untether by the time I am finished b) if MobileSubstrate works.

Any report that I wait for iOS 4.3.1 is just a misinterpretation of my words.
I merely think that Apple should release a iOS 4.3.1 soon, because it is in their interest to not wait for several months when everyone knows that there is a remote exploit in MobileSafari that might have leaked during the #PWN2OWN contest.
...
I am pretty sure that the untether will be released before the next weekend. I was using older kernel patches that caused lagging on the jailbroken device. I will change that and then port it to the other devices and release.

I0n1c has previously said that his untether will likely end up in RedSn0w. As usual we will keep you up to date with the latest news.

I need iMovie working.

The "hotspot" feature and quicker safari browser are more than enough reasons to update to 4.3, but I need the jailbreak so I can FaceTime over 3G..

famleon - March 13, 2011 at 8:02pm

and I do not believe it... same as the unlock... PROBABLY WHEN THE 4.5 IS RELEASE IT.... I don't trust those asking for money "hackers"..... Probably the dev team is being paid to do not do it, or selling their product to one of this sites for unlocking.... NAWWWW do not trust them, just buy a factory unlock... pay your apps and thank you for calling...

Nobody called you

If you're not into jailbreaking why do you come to this site? It's way more than just using pirated apps.. Jailbreaking is the only way to make an iOS device truly yours and unique to you.

FadetoBlack - March 14, 2011 at 1:17pm

B19 has it right. Not everybody uses the jailbreak to illegaly download apps. I jailbreak just so I can get "facebreak" and facetime over 3G, a feature Apple should have included in the first place.

SPEED! .... 4.2.1 is terrible, my IP4 is noticeably slower since upgrading and the speed comparisons posted recently on this site show just how much. 4.3 gives that speed back, Apple needs to concentrate on the big picture instead of rushing out badly written software just to battle the JB scene.
