Pod2g has started a new blog to chronicle his work on the iOS 5 untethered jailbreak he demonstrated earlier today.

Here's his first post:

---
Today I succeed in jailbreaking my iPod 3G. The exploit is user-land, rely on a user ROP payload and a kernel write anywhere exploit.

I can't give much details right now, but here are the next steps :
- upgrade the iPod 3G to iOS 5.0.1
- do the same on iPhone 4 / iOS 5.0.1
- then iPad 1 & iPod 4G

At every step, the exploit code needs certainly to be reworked, but I really don't know right now. Next, I'll return to the research for iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. I don't know if I gonna release first for other devices or not. I've to think about it. Feel free to give your opinion.

We'll keep you up to date with news on pod2g's progress.

Should you upgrade to 5.0.1 now or is it enough to save the SHSH with tinyumberella?

Would REALLY like to see iphone 4 jb untethered on 5.01 or 5.1. I am waiting for iphone 5, skipping 4s, are many. fwiw.

This has been stolen off hacker steveone6 and obeyeddonkey group on twitter there hunting the thief down as we speak

If I were Pod2g, I would not release this until iOS 5.1 is released. 5.0.1 did not fix the battery issues for many, so 5.1 will soon be released. Even though this isnt the popular choice, it is the best for the community. Instead of having apple patch the exploit on 5.1 keep the secret until after 5.1 for when Redsn0w will work with SHSH blobs again. It is a complete win for everyone involved.

I completely agree with pod2g...I wouldn't release this until the 5.1 is release ..Because most people have their devices jailbroken on 4.3.3.. I will never update my iPhone 4 until the jailbreak on 5.01 is available ... I have 4S but I have been using my Iphone4 We've waited this long we can wait..a little longer...thanks for the update for letting us know whats going on,for a moment I thought jailbreak was over. That would be a great gift for Christmas! Later

If the exploid does not fix in 5.1, I would agree. If ipod2g exploid fixed by the new 5.1 update, this Jailbreak should be released. Lot of people out there are using semi-tether right now. Even I have my SHSH saved since 4.0 til now, I still choose to use tether for 5.0 because of all the new feather in IOS 5.

@Spaolo_Goliaa - December 10, 2011 at 2:10pm

If either of you were filling the jailbreak scene up to date you would know apple has devoted an unbelievable amount of time to find vulnerabilities throughout every beta and up to 5.0.1. Not releasing it before 5.1 would be a major risk.

Delete all your backups in iTunes and restore your device. Battery issue no longer. I know that's not the way it's supposed to work but it works.

Tom Lover - December 9, 2011 at 9:48pm

Tom, I love you. You're such a sexy hypocryte, and make me wet whenever you post. Please carry on, good sir. It's not like you have anything better to do.

I meant I wish I knew where you LIVE!!!

smt - December 9, 2011 at 9:46pm

wait till apple fix their mistake and your chanse to be "somebody"

Tny - December 9, 2011 at 9:39pm

Please world on iPhone 4S an iPad 2

bonez - December 10, 2011 at 1:46am

you didn't think of this when you bought the damn thing?? that a jailbreak was far off?

shadow479 - December 9, 2011 at 9:10pm

Please work in the IPAD 2 !! Its time to concentrate on it, because no one launched a jailbreak for it. The iPhone 4 and Ipod's already have JB so everybody wants is a JB for the IPad 2 !!

Tim - December 9, 2011 at 11:08pm

My iPad 2 is jailbroken, 4.3.2. Jailbreaking and a working untether is different normally goes jailbreak->untether.

Sillydrew - December 10, 2011 at 6:25am

Well first of all there is a untether jailbreak for the iPad2. If you decided to update know or not knowing there was no jailbreak available that's your bad move. I would rather have my iPad 2 runing iOS 5 but I can wait until a jailbreak is released.

Khan - December 10, 2011 at 9:15am

What's the point in jailbreaking the iPad 1 or 2 ? I jailbroke mine and I see no reason too so I updated to 5.0 and haven't missed the jailbreak as of today. iPhone 4s jailbreak would be nice. I miss bitesms and 3G FaceTime, sbsettings. Mywi but AT&T is cracking down on it.

Zeljko - December 9, 2011 at 9:07pm

Show some respect, don`t write such things. I hope that he relese this untethered as soon as possible. There`s a lot of people who have iPhone 4.....
