All of you witnessed the release of untethered jailbreak for the A4 devicesjust before the start of the new year. Pod2g along with the iPhone Dev Team and the Chronic Dev Team managed to pull it off. There has been recent activity going on for the untethered jailbreak for the A5 devices. Details below!
Only 3 days ago, Pod2g tweeted that the untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 could be expected the coming week.

There isn’t any permanent jailbreak for the A5 devices as they haven’t received any bootrom exploit such as limera1n as the A4 devices had received in the past. The iPhone 4S hasn’t been jailbroken ever and the iPad 2 can be jailbroken using JailbreakMe 3.0, which was released by Comex on iOS 4.3.3, later patched to iOS 4.3.4 update. However, the fact is that this isn’t an untethered jailbreak.
On the same day, pod2g was asked that whether it was ok to update to iOS 5.0.1 on which his reply was a positive one.
Users on lower versions are recommended to update to iOS 5.0.1 as this would help them jailbreak more quickly then upgrading when the tool is released.
The next day, we went through his blog and found Pod2g was asked that how he had a 4S untethered jailbreak when the dev teams haven’t launched any tool to jailbreak at home. In reply, he said that a developer account was required by the exploit that he used to inject the untethered files in the iPhone 4S, and that is why it hasn’t been released publicly.
He further explained that @MuscleNerd couldn’t distribute the iPad 2 tethered jailbreak due to the very reason, and they needed to find a distributable exploit to remount the system partition read/write and to set the files of Corona at the appropriate places.

And that is why they need to find a distributable exploit to remount the system partition read/write and to set the Corona files at the right places. He also answered why the A4 version of Corona was easier to release stating that a good way to install Corona was through a tethered jailbreak and went on to say that a tethered jailbreak required an exploitable vulnerability which they haven’t discovered yet.
The best update came yesterday, Pod2g updated his blog stating that Planetbeing, MuscleNerd and P0sixninja have joined his team and they all will work together to release the A5 untethered jailbreak as soon as possible.
@planetbeing, the legendary hacker behind iPhone Linux and lot of jailbreaks has joined the A5 research!The famous @MuscleNerd, the leader of the iPhone Dev Team, who did a lot of tests for Corona and whom integrated it and made it simple in redsn0w is willing to help also.And last, but not least @p0sixninja, the leader of the Chronic Dev Team, and my partner for years on iPhone security research has started to code and fuzz the Apple sandbox.We now have a dream team to find a path for a public release of the A5 jailbreak.Cross your fingers.
The Dream Team indeed! So much has been heard in the past few days. This is a sign that we can expect an A5 untethered jailbreak very soon. We will keep you updated with all the happenings. Stay tuned!
