pod2g Makes More Progress With iOS 5.1 Jailbreak

We have some more  good news for jailbreakers. pod2g had tweeted couple of days back that they have all the exploits needed for a new jailbreak.

He had mentioned that the next step was to bypass ASLR. ASLR, or Address Space Layout Randomization, is a technique that randomizes the memory locations of the files. This subsequently makes it difficult for an injected code to locate the rogue scripts in advance to execute an attack.

pod2g has just tweeted that he has successfully bypassed ASLR:

ASLR seems bypassed! Weird machines FTW. Time to ROP the payload.

pod2g hasn’t provided any more details, so it is still not clear if this new jailbreak is the untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1 that we have been waiting for and will it also support iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and iPad 3.

But based on the last update, we’re assuming that it will be an untethered iOS 5.1 jailbreak for iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 3, iPad 2, iPad 1, iPod touch 4G and iPod touch 3G.

Currently, Redsn0w that was released by the iPhone Dev team in March supports only a tethered jailbreak for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 4G and iPod touch 3G. You can only perform an untethered jailbreak on iPhone 3GS with older bootrom. You can check out our how to jailbreak page for links to the latest step-by-step tutorials.

If you’re waiting for the untethered jailbreak or jailbreak for iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and iPad 3 then we’ll let you know as soon as we have any further updates, so stay tuned at iPhone Hacks or join our Facebook Fan page or follow us on Twitter or add us on Google+ or subscribe to our RSS feed.

          also if they are claiming to be a BETA Tester to not have their user name called that. thats just some idiot foreign guy who wasnt too bright.

  • sparky

    yes… I am hoping that Apple does not change their minds about using A5X ARM processors in their iPhone 5 design. Jailbreak…. WoooHoooo.

  • dobo10

    No matter who they are all jailbreaks deserve a lot of thanks from all of us

    thank all of you jailbreakers

  • Pod2ghater

    Does makeing more progress means we need more donations to finish JB 5.1

    • baba

      He’s not holding a gun on your head and asking for your money, we who wants to donate, we do, you don’t have to worry…

      • DocACE911

        Has he ever stated how much people donate? I am curious? I would think if 25% of people who jailbreak just donate $5 (based on usage) that would be fantastic. Sounds like we are no where near that.

        • Andrew

          I always donate a 20 when it gets released. I guess most just take though.

          • DocACE911

            WOw, that is great. I always like giving $5 here and there to most great freeware people etc. I am shocked more do not given the use you get.

            I agree – it is worth $20. Maybe I will break my $5 and move to $5 for first iPAD 3 JB and anothe 20 after the 5 releases to fix all teh bugs :)

            Anyway, I just want to be able to use my cydia stuff. I LOVE my iTether – best $5 ever spent. Just amazing how seemless it would tether my ipad 1 to my phone with the new bluetooth stacks etc.

  • Shuaib

    Aswesome work @pod2g I think it about time to donate and support @pod2g

  • Shuaib

    Aswesome work @pod2g I think it about time to donate and support @pod2g Awesome!

    • markimark

      I have always donated to pod2g and the other well known JB’ers, as well as the JB community when i can. POD2G great job man! I am glad we still have people like you to do all the hard work some of us lack the knowledge for.

    The dev team is now the only team working on this. Why is that? Every version of android and every different phone has a number of people working on it. But the most popular phone in the world has a single person in a single team working on the jailbreak. Someone explain that to me. Someone also explain to me why the dev team takes as long as possible to release the jailbreak. Look, you’ll still get donations. Stop trying to drag it out. It’s painfully obvious that they drag it out as long as possible to get as many donations as possible. And unfortunately, people are making it work for them. So I guess there’s really nothing we can do. But at least admit that’s what you’re doing. Dishonest as politicians.

      1) Your an A$$

      2) If they wanted to make money form this … they would sale it. Hence refer back to #1

      3) Android is open platform making it easy to hack. Hence two-bit clueless coders can break android. It takes serious skills to crack iOS. Most give up, where these few guys continue to work hard to give people a free Jailbreak. Do you think that many people give donations? More than likely less than 1% of the people jail breaking give these guys anything…. whats that mean? Refer back to number #1 and add dumb to the front of it.

  • caddouch

    I will definitely donate if he brings the Jailbreak for Ipad 3

    • DrewM

    Pod2g goooooo

  • ali

    I hope that new jealbreak will release soon we are waiting patiently

  • fozyrer

    Meh. I already broke mine. It wasn’t too hard. There’s an easy buffer overflow. I wouldn’t mind getting credit for releasing it first. I’ll wait a day and release my method lol. I won’t wait for iOS6. There are always exploits to find in Apple code, and will always be a way to root them. They aren’t particularly good at writing secure code.

  • Shahzad

    Finaly pod2g twitter that his iphone 4 running jailbreak untethered 5.1……….

  • woufei

    kindly release it now.. much thanks and appreciate if granted..
