Tools

As mentioned in our previous article, @paulpols and @veeence, tweeted about @comex’s self-created deadline of “before wednesday” for the release of JailbreakMe 3.0. The userland jailbreak is set to support jailbreaking all devices from iPhone3GS through iPad2, iOS 4.2.1 to 4.3.3 (all untethered too). The biggest news here would be the jailbreak for the iPad 2, which has not been released due to it having the A5 chip as opposed to the A4 chip found in other current iOS devices.

Earlier today, @veeence tweeted the following making the release seem uncertain:

If JailbreakMe 3.0 doesn’t drop tomorrow, blame unionfs (http://t.co/pofO6Yt).

Afterwards, @paulpols tweeted the following, making it seem further unlikely that the jailbreak tool would be released as planned:

Cliché but true: the jailbreak will be released when it’s ready or on a sunday. “Hopefully before wednesday” was just an estimate by @comex.

Shortly after though, software developer, cmw (@cmwdotme), tweeted the following, which not only proves that progress is / has been made but that JailbreakMe 3.0 is working and the iPad 2 jailbreak will be released soon:

<3 @comexhttp://t.co/f5sdWfP can you feel the buzz in the air? haha @saurik you did actually save the SHSH for my ipad2 on 4.3.1

The twitpic mentioned in his tweet is a picture of the following (picture proof of Cydia running on an iPad 2 on iOS 4.3.3):

Hang tight, everyone, @Comex is about to release JailbreakMe 3.0 and it will be available to the masses soon enough!

Update

see, I’m always lying about my release dates.

although I have not been getting enough sleep, I did fix unionfs on iPad 2, and figure out why something else on the iPad 2 wasn’t working

Looks like there is going to be a bit of a delay as Comex needs to iron out a few things but he is hard at work doing so. He hasn’t provided a new ETA just yet so that is something we will all have to keep an eye on.
