WWDC 2012 and the surprises Apple will announce jailbreak is on !!!
With only a week to go before WWDC 2012 and the surprises Apple
will announce there, today seems like a good time to release updates to
our suite of free software to include the rocky-racoon jailbreak and
untether developed by @pod2g and @planetbeing!
Today’s updates are:
- PwnageTool 5.1.1
- redsn0w 0.9.12b1
- cinject 0.5.4 (version 0.5.3 also had rocky-racoon but this includes some updates)
- ultrasn0w 1.2.7 (5.1.1 compatibility only - no new baseband support)
If you’ve already installed rocky-racoon, don’t bother reinstalling it
unless you’ve had problems and would like to try a different tool. The
underlying untethered jailbreak (rocky-racoon) is identical to what is
already installed by last week’s tools like Absinthe, cinject-0.5.3,
and the rocky-racoon Cydia package — only the injection method offered
by the above tools differs.
redsn0w allows owners of A4+earlier devices to install rocky-racoon two different ways:
- backup/restore method similar to Absinthe and cinject
- its
traditional limera1n-based ramdisk install. If you have a lot of
media on your A4 device (music, movies, TV shows, etc), then the
ramdisk method is preferrred because it avoids any possibility of later
problems related to syncing to iCloud (including Photo Stream and Music
Match). The ramdisk method is not available for A5 devices or later
because limera1n can’t be used. If you’d like to use redsn0w’s ramdisk
method, just be sure to put the A4 device in DFU or Recovery mode
before starting redsn0w (otherwise it will immediately start to use the
backup/restore method).
We’ve also added a new redsn0w feature specifically for those who got
in on the SAM unlock: you can now include your SAM tickets as part of
your initial ramdisk jailbreak of iPhone4 or earlier, or alternatively
you can upload your SAM tickets to any device after its been
jailbroken. redsn0w accepts either the individual SAM activation
ticket plist file, or the entire zip file created by redsn0w’s “Backup”
button. As usual, redsn0w continues to cover all of its previous
jailbreaks and untethers (so redsn0w-0.9.12b1 covers everything from
5.1.1 all the way back to 4.1).
PwnageTool also avoids any possible sync issues, but again it applies only to A4+earlier devices.
If you unlock your iPhone with ultrasn0w or a commercial method, you must use PwnageTool to avoid updating your baseband
otherwise you’ll lose the unlock. PwnageTool will also
jailbreak+untether the AppleTV2,1 5.0_2B206f (unless you customize the
IPSW further, you’ll have just basic SSH access to the device).
If you’d like to contribute to those that actually developed rocky-racoon, please visit here (any other links you may see are not going to the actual rocky-racoon developers, they’re being diverted to other “related” or fraudulent accounts).
This particular jailbreak brought an unusual amount of fanfare and
hoopla to the table, including “press releases” and other haughty
silliness.
We’d just like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that jailbreaking is about freedom, not fame and donations!
