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.

To anyone who says jailbreak is dead.....try downloading a zip file from mobile safari and then try to unzip it......betcha can't. Jailbroken tweaks allow you to do that. Until an app like iFile hits App Store...im jailbreaking...always

iH8sn0w has his own iBoot exploit that he has never released, which allows him to jailbreak any version of iOS...UNTETHERED. BootROM exploits are the most powerful, and are what allowed things like baseband flashes, restores without iTunes (Redsn0w) and custom boot images to work. That said, this iH8sn0w always taunts everyone with his exploit, but never releases it. He hasn't released since the iOS 6 p0s1xpwn untether, and he won't. He doesn't contribute anything to the jailbreak community besides these annoying "proof of concept" videos that are just meant to taunt and remind us that his exploit still works, and that he still exists. Ok..we get it iH8sn0w. Your old exploit still hasn't been patched. Next article, please?

Honestly, I trust iH8Sn0w more than taig, pangu or PP

iH8 iH8sn0w - September 11, 2015 at 4:38pm

Trust him to release this jailbreak, and after a year of waiting, tell me who you trust then...lol

Jail breaking is dead now. Back in the days it was cool but with Jobs gone, Tim has allowed Albany JB tweaks to be on iOS. The only thing I JB for is for 2 "apps" MovieBox and MusicBox that's it.

Jailbreak died in your mind when you lost interest in trying something different. You got old and focused on other things besides jailbreaking your device. Yes JB died because your inspiration died.

MacUser - September 11, 2015 at 7:56pm

JB died cause iPhone is fine how it is. Some people like shortcuts but I'll rather spend another second wait to do it myself. Some want to get to the camera from lock screen(JB tool) and I rather unlock phone and touch the camera icon. No big deal. I don't mind waiting 2 more seconds for what I want done on a phone.

Isn't ih8sn0w the guy who usually makes the jailbreaks for he's own and doesn't share them to the public? Or am I confusing him.

Userhllow - September 11, 2015 at 3:09pm

No, you're confusing him with @ionic

Sam I Am - September 10, 2015 at 7:39pm

Ih8 is known for posting fake videos of JBs that he never did. Beware of updating ...

NoGoodNick - September 10, 2015 at 7:32pm

Of course they won't release the jailbreak before iOS 9 is officially released, and there's still a lot of tying up of loose ends before you release a JB. Just ask TaiG. Their JB was full of bugs, which tool weeks to clear up.

What's N41? That sticker on his iPhone?

JollySonX - September 10, 2015 at 7:13pm

I assume he has plenty of Idevices to play with abs it's his cataloging system nothing more

Daniel G - September 10, 2015 at 6:22pm

Well I guess iH8Snow is back

iH8 iH8sn0w - September 11, 2015 at 4:45pm

ih8sn0w only comes "back" to show you that his old bootrom exploit still isn't patched. He hasn't released anything since iOS 6, and he sure won't release this.
