@GUnitJC No, it will take some work to package it into a jailbreak. Same deal as
Comex Jailbreaks Apple’s iPad 2 Two Days After Launch
3March 14, 2011
Comex has once again come through for the jailbreak community by pushing out a jailbreak for a new device (iPad 2) within 2 days of the product launch. iOS hacker, chpwn, who has been doing a lot of work on many UI updates to Cydia lately and writes a host of popular tweaks in Cydia recently tweeted a photo of Cydia running on a white iPad 2. After retweeting, @comex posted the following:
would’ve had it yesterday if I didn’t have to spend 1.5 days looking for a replacement exploit (which came from a most unexpected place…)
While the exploit is obviously working and Cydia is running on More >

Untethered iOS 4.3 Jailbreak Delayed Until MobileSubstrate Works [Confirmed]
4March 13, 2011
Stefan Esser’s untethered iOS 4.3 jailbreak may not be coming as soon as we thought after all. The hacker mentioned that his kernel exploit is “dependent” and will work, if and only if someone identifies a new bootrom exploit or a tethered jailbreak on iOS 4.3 using the existing limera1n exploit.
Since there is no public bootrom exploit for the iPad 2 at the moment, Stefan’s exploit will not currently work. All other devices such as the first generation iPad, iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod Touch 3G, and 4G can still utilize the limera1n exploit along with the yet to be discovered iOS 4.3 exploit. Most More >

Some good news for all of you who are anxiously waiting for unlocking their iPhone 4 on baseband 02.10.04, 03.10.01, and 04.10.01.

Apple Patches GeoHot’s LimeRa1n and P0sixninja’s SHAtter Exploits
2March 12, 2011
Tonight has been a fairly bad night when it comes to jailbreaking news as all of the popular hackers in the jailbreak community are discovering that Apple engineers have successfully patched two jailbreaking exploits.
First iH8Sn0w tweeted the following:
Confirmed: limera1n is patched in iPad 2.
Then MuscleNerd ended up confirming that not only was GeoH0t’s limera1n exploit patched but p0sixninja’s SHAtter exploit was also patched by Apple engineers in March 2010 itself. This was discovered as MuscleNerd found the iPad 2 running a bootrom version iBoot-838.3 as compared to iBoot-574.4 More >
Untethered iOS 4.3 Jailbreak To Possibly Arrive Before iOS 4.3.1
0March 12, 2011
The popular iOS hacker and modder Stefan Esser is now confirming that he is not going to be holding onto his untethered jailbreak exploit for iOS 4.3 for long. There is a possibility that he might release it for primetime availability as soon as it is ready as opposed to waiting until iOS 4.3.1 drops-in. This was confirmed in a recent tweet where he said the following:
BTW: I never said that I would wait for 4.3.1 to be released. I only said that releasing it now might burn it fast.
As predicted earlier, ASLR doesn’t come as a blockade to achieve the jailbreak. Stefan’s kernal exploit More >

You guys probably remember the untethered jailbreak demo that we posted about last night. It looks like the hacker behind the exploit is going to save it up until Apple releases iOS 4.3.1 as to preserve the exploit from being patched.
i0n1c: With Apple already baking 4.3.1 the first one releasing an iOS 4.3 jailbreak will pretty much burn the exploit
i0n1c: Well Apple should release 4.3.1 very soon, because tomorrow everybody knows that @0xcharlie popped an iPhone 4 at #pwn2own through Safari.
At the Pwn2Own 2011 contest, the iPhone 4 was hacked via a vulnerability which was found in More >
