Pod2g has announced the discovery of 2 new vulnerabilities in his quest to jailbreak the iPhone.

News: a productive week-end. Found 2 big vulnerabilities. 1 kernel land and 1 root land.

Too bad I have to be secret again...

Last week pod2g noted that a jailbreak of iOS 5.1 would take at least a month to complete. We'll post more information about how these new vulnerabilities will affect that schedule as soon as we hear more.

If the kernel land vulnerability is exploitable this could provide a jailbreak for the device no matter the firmware. You can follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS to be notified of any updates.

I say: if he releases it now for 5.1 they will close the holes up on iOS 6 and he'll have to start from scratch. I'm patient enough with what I have on 5.0.1 to wait till he can jailbreak 6.

According to pod2g's and hos poll he says to keep his ios 5 exploits till launch of the next ios . But how are those exploits or modded files that are of ios 5 help in ios 6 jailbreak ...???? Who knows ios 6 ..will be completely based on some other kernel structures !!

pod2g like to talk a lot. we read a lot of "new"s about the iOS 5.1 jailbreak, but it's seems like it's still far away from us. I don't understand why he delays the release of the jailbreak all the time. I hope his next tweet will be "download the jailbreak application here". release the thing!

Hey its not that all the people who want a jailbreak are ungreatful .. I want a jailbreak and i am ready to pay a reasonable amount for that .. Its just the temptation that pod2g creates that he will launch the jb say tommorrow and then the next day says that it might be a month or never..

@ Heyy - So what? The articles are titled appropriately enough. If it says "jailbreak released," then click on the article and see how to get it. Otherwise, don't click on the article. Simple enough, right?

It is not simple for thousands of users to check everyday pod2g tweeting for a jailbreak .. Simple could be if he worked and just said jb released when its actually ready to release ...

Release this!!!!

iPhones will ALWAYS need a jailbreak, regardless of what firmware they release. No matter what Apple adds to the iOS, there will always be tweaks and apps that they will never allow.

gotta love pod2g. Keep up the good work! But keep the results to yourself. Do not EVER release a jailbreak.

Yobro - April 30, 2012 at 9:26pm

Agreed!!!!

hell ya - May 1, 2012 at 4:07am
