Pod2g has issued a new progress report on the iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak in which he reveals that the jailbreak for old devices is being packaged for release.

Thanks to donators, pod2g has received enough financial support to purchase an iPhone 4S and iPad 2 and will soon start working on the jailbreak for those devices.

Hello my friends,I know that I've been silent yesterday and that it was annoying.

Sorry for this, but I had to organize things for the release.
Also, I've tested iPad 1 and it worked.
Today I hope I can test a 3Gs.

BTW: please don't propose to be a beta tester because I'm too paranoid, fearing leaks.

Now the time to finalize the jailbreak for old devices, fix some stability issues and package the whole.That will take some days.

In the meanwhile, I'm starting the research for iPad 2 and 4S.I'll take you informed of my progress.

Finally, I want to thank all who donated. I now can buy both devices! I don't know what to say.

Thank you very much my friends.

My untethered JB will be released after the final release of apples firmware (which will be never), i am wanting an iphone 4s and ipad 2 so any/all donations will be greatly accepted until i can afford to buy the devices then i will fade into the background just like cydia has. lets face it, if the cydia app installous didnt exist, im almost certain no-one would JB. ppl used to JB for cool touches that apple left out, but now they have filled the gaps and done it better. theres no need to jailbreak just for an unlock that will never be worked on again, also no need now iphones are sold unlocked direct from apple

Please wait until 5.1 goes live...or is the exploit already fixed in 5.1?

Jeff - December 15, 2011 at 6:08pm

@Tom I second that. I bet pod2g will release for iPhone 4s and iPad 2 before iPhone 4 and iPad 1...

There is no way you can brick your iPhone.

what?? I didn't get it.. cam you explain that gain??

Dev - December 15, 2011 at 5:54pm

It was suppose to read "when was the last time you had to pay for a JB?"

Thatcher - December 15, 2011 at 5:47pm

Looks like he's making steady progress. Nice too see that the donations are being put to good use (buying A5 devices) I look forward to the 4s JB. Good work Pod2g

Tom - December 15, 2011 at 5:10pm

Yup I second that Jeff...

Lido - December 15, 2011 at 5:21pm

Have you ever donated anything in your lives? Like I said I would've bought him both devices .If he gives me a jailbreak for my IPAD2 & IPHONE4S.. I freacking hate my iphone4s because its not jailbroken.

Disagree with you here. It's nice to see people chipping in for the greater cause. Please need to realize that for him this is a hobby, his work benefits everyone. Its tiring to see ppl making demands for something that the only reward a DEV get's its his own pride of accomplishment. Think of it this way, if this was a way of making a living out of it; don't you think all developers or hackers would be on this full time? What makes me sick is all those ppl that use the tools these devs make to make money but never give back some of the money to the devs through donations. I think we should give more praise then the negative remarks provided. Patience is a virtue, and if you are not paying for something well you better dam wait. :). I hope people like him don't loose interest in keep doing this for us, so I my hats off to them for even sharing that there is progress and for doing something for our selfish good.

Do you imagine a warehouse in some abandonded distrcit with the name Dev Team written on it? You think these guys all get together every night and make up sploits? Kid says he's finalizing the release. It takes time everyone is so damn impatient. It's now now now gimmie gimmie gimmie. Better for him to test it out and try to iron out the bugs than release something that could f up your phone.

This will be the last of the JB's so please enjoy.... Hmm wonder where the NCK brute the dev team was talking about last year and 2months ago for iPhone 4??? Hmmmmm tsk tsk tsk got bought out.... Wow shocking they working on unlock for iPhone 4S when they said "no more NEW unlocks due to the fact unlocked iPhone 4 being sold" hmmm wait a minute aren't they selling UNLOCKED iPhone 4s hmmmmmm....

zwabbit - December 15, 2011 at 5:29pm

I hope your wrong. :), If this is the case when my existing devices become obsolete I guess I'm moving over to the platform that does not tie me in...

Tom - December 15, 2011 at 5:58pm

And which platform is that dude?

Tyler - December 15, 2011 at 10:52pm

First, the NCK brute force was a theory. Its not a exploit, it involved guessing the key to access the seczone where the lock status is stored. However, in theory it could take thousands of years to correctly guess it for each device. Second, they didn't stop working on a iPhone 4 unlock because it was possible to buy a factory unlocked iPhone 4, it was because apple has removed so much baseband code its hard to find a exploit. It may be possible to find a unlock for the 4s because since apple changed so much about the antennas more code was added. Please, make sure you know what your talking about before you go on ranting.

I was supporting this guy and now I am starting to think that he is a fraud... I might be wrong though!!

enigma - December 15, 2011 at 5:01pm

Hes the real deal! Still miss comex though..

zwabbit - December 15, 2011 at 5:28pm

I've you've been around for a while, you realize it's because of people like him the community is where we are today. Let's stop bitching and see how we can help them to be successful. The community needs to find was to encourage them not trash them. I honestly hope he can hold up until 5.1 is released to see if the exploit is there also, but from the looks of it, if he has gone so far to go public it does not look like it is. At the end of the day Apple profits off JB, more units sold equates to more developers jumping on the bandwagon to develop great apps...
