iOS 4.3 Untethered Jailbreak Expected Release Date [Confirmed]

iOS 4.3 Jailbreak ETA. Here's a good news for who are asking about the ETA for iOS 4.3 untethered jailbreak for iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod touch 4G, 3G iPad 1 and iPad2, the iPhone security expert an hacker Stefan Esser has announced officially about his untethered jailbreak ETA. He has confirmed that he is going to release iOS 4.3 jailbreak by the next week.

Good morning.

This video demonstrates my iPad 1 running untethered jailbroken iOS 4.3

The jailbreak uses a *UNDISCLOSED* exploit in the iOS Kernel. Installation is similar to previous iOS versions which means you require a bootrom exploit (or something else) to install it in the root partition.

Because there is no public bootrom exploit for the iPad 2 at the moment it will not work for now.

However the jailbreak can be made compatible with all devices that are vulnerable to the limer4in exploit and that are supported by iOS 4.3

Because of several changes in iOS 4.3 in comparison to iOS 4.2.1 the jailbreak is NOT READY yet. That is what the *ALPHA* means. I need some time to check what kernel patches are actually required to work 100%ly.

However I recommend the dev-team or chronic-dev to first release a *tethered* iOS 4.3 so that everyone can test if their nice feature actually work. I guess most people require Mobile Substrate to work and AFAIK it does not work due to ASLR. It would be a waste if Apple kills an untethered jailbreak before Mobile Substrate works.
That said I will release the jailbreak when a) there is no other untether by the time I am finished b) if MobileSubstrate works.

Any report that I wait for iOS 4.3.1 is just a misinterpretation of my words.
I merely think that Apple should release a iOS 4.3.1 soon, because it is in their interest to not wait for several months when everyone knows that there is a remote exploit in MobileSafari that might have leaked during the #PWN2OWN contest.

Check back in the next days for more information about when and where you can get it.

DO NOT LET YOURSELF GET SCAMMED BY ALL THE OTHERS TRYING TO SELL YOU THIS EXPLOIT. IT WILL NOT LEAVE MY HOUSE BEFORE IT IS FINISHED.

Because so many people are asking for an ETA:

I am pretty sure that the untether will be released before the next weekend. I was using older kernel patches that caused lagging on the jailbroken device. I will change that and then port it to the other devices and release.

JailbreakMe 3.0 to jailbreak iOS 4.3 iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad on its Way !

JailbreakMe 3.0 on iOS 4.3 Soon. After showing a demo video and screenshot of successfully jailbroken iPad 2 by the well-known iPhone developer Comex, here we have some more news. The next jailbreak could be packaged in a JailbreakMe 3.0 like web-based app.

GUnitJC: @comex does this mean jailbreakme 3.0 is out now since you just had jailbroken the new iPad 2?

Comex: @GUnitJC No, it will take some work to package it into a jailbreak. Same deal as i0n1c.

As most of you know, there is a new vulnerability in Safari which allows some hackers to hack it at Pwn2Own contest which may allow the execution of JailbreakMe again. Everyone likes this tool because it's very easy, fast and can be done without connecting your device into your PC or Mac. This new tool may jailbreak iPad 2 too.

There's no ETA yet but we'll keep you updated as soon as we hear something new!
