If you accidentally upgraded your unlocked iPhone to iPhone OS 3.1.3 that was released two weeks back then we have another good news.
Geohot, the iPhone hacking expert who had released popular jailbreaking and unlocking tools like blackra1n, blacksn0w and more has discovered a working exploit for baseband 05.12.01 that was bundled with iPhone OS 3.1.3.
Geohot has tweeted the hash tag of the baseband crash for safekeeping:
d8b50dc95d7906e3ff6155331a534b55d0f6cac1=good. And motorama this weekend!
You might remember that Sherif Hashim had also discovered an exploit for iPhone OS 3.1.3 baseband last week and MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team had confirmed that it is working.
iHackintosh has also published the conversation between Visnet (iHackintosh reader), Geohot and MuscleNerd:
<visnet_> What does geohot tweet mean?
<%geohot> its my bb exploit for safekeeping
<%Par4doX> geohot: did you turn that over to the dev team or are you doing something with it?
<%geohot> my days of turning things over are done
<%geohot> i hope its different from the one they have
<%geohot> but they prob already have it
<%geohot> its the one i orig wanted to release blacksn0w with
<%Par4doX> it’s still there in the new bb
<%geohot> yep, just checked
<%geohot> but then opted to use xemn since it was public
<Evan> Oo, it carries over from 05.11 to 05.12?
<%geohot> why wouldn’t it, apple doesn’t fix things proactivly
<@MuscleNerd> geohot we prob should figure out a way to know if we have same exploit double blind, otherwise we may release 2 different ones at same time
<%geohot> any suggestions?
<@MuscleNerd> not sure how to do that without making it easy to brute force though
<%geohot> yea, i salted the hash
<@MuscleNerd> yeah
<@MuscleNerd> hmm maybe if we both hash the stack dump
<@Confucious> Can you two take this out of public sight?
<@MuscleNerd> the stack itself, not the header before it or the registers after it
<Her> muscle: any notice about the exploits are the same ?
<%geohot> we are working on it
<%geohot> cryptography, perfect for people who don’t trust each other
The conversation indicates that both the iPhone Dev Team and Geohot have a working exploit for the latest baseband and could release tools to jailbreak and unlock iPhone OS 3.1.3.

they are NOT working on anything, no one is for the 3GS. i bet the above is a fake conversation.
Who says the 4G will be able to be jailbroken, and who knows when the 4G will even be out. until then, if they claim they found something, the why the heck make a jailbreak program already. i am sure they are not even working on it for the 3GS.
does not work on 3gs
check geohots blog, he says at least 50 times he is not making a jailbreak for 3.1.3 for the 3gs, i bet he cant do it. punk ass.
What are you talking about drdirty????
I have a 3gs bb 05.11.07.
Jailbroken with blackrain
and take a look on iclarified instead of telling
nonsense…
There is NO jailbreak for 05.12.01. I had a 3gs on 5.11.07 jailbroken until a cydia app brixed it running under blackra1n
the udpate puts on 05.12.01 which no one can jailbreak even the great geodude
Get used to the idea folks, there ain't gonna be a 3gs jailbreak before summertime simply cos the dev team and geo can't or won't release to simply help is out. Sad but becoming a reality.
fuck off these wishes of jailbreak…better looking for an damn unlock for the baseband! need it!
god helps you. impossible!
