iH8sn0w, the hacker behind sn0wbreeze and iFaith, has posted a video demonstrating an untethered jailbreak of iOS 9. Apple just posted the GM Seed of iOS 9 to developers so it's unlikely that anything will be changed before its public release.

Poking into iOS 9 is fun. A little annoyed at some new things. But very surprised at how similar it is to iOS 8 internally.

Worth noting, iOS 9+ arm64 iDevices now enforce a checksum on __TEXT/DATA.const regions of the kernel through the use of TrustZone. Modifying said sections will cause the device to panic (either at kernel or EL3 will force a reboot if the kernel refused to gracefully panic). Essentially, it's KPP (Kernel Patch Protection). You can race it though if you want to play with things. Just be quick! ;P

Also, there should technically now be two additional partitions (baseband_data [s1s3] and logs [s1s4]) but didn't really bother with those as they weren't critical.

No word yet on whether he plans to release his jailbreak but you can follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.
