Ever since @pod2g discovered a new bootrom exploit we’ve all been patiently waiting for an update to our favorite tools. Well, @MuscleNerd announced today that a beta of PwnageTool has already been developed to utilize the exploit. @chronicdevteam has tools in the works as well. Though i anxiously await the release of @greenpois0n, it is PwnageTool that will allow me to update my iPhone4 without endangering my baseband and killing my unlock.
What does this mean to you? well, i’ll tell you since you asked. It means that EVERY iOS devise ALL A4 devices (iPhone 4, Tough 4g, iPad, Apple TV 2) will be jailbreakable regardless of iOS version. This is good news for anyone who “accidentally” updated or who purchased their device after apple fixed the jailbreakme.com exploit. Now although this exploit cannot be fixed with an iOS update, it is still very important to back up your shsh blobs to ensure that you can utilize the tools that all these guys have worked so hard on. Don’t get too excited. No new baseband exploit has yet been announced, so all you unlockers running 4.0.2 or greater are still doomed. lets hope they’re sitting on one for 4.2 or it’s going to be a cold and lonely winter.
Just a few days after acquiring my new Blu-ray burner, i’m already transcoding my first HD movie. After an hour to rip, i must wait nearly 3 hours to transcode. i don’t know why i expected it to be more difficult then it was. Perhaps i should wait to see the output before making such a boast. Before you cry DMCA, remember that fair use allows me to make any additional copies of media that are required to play it. How else am i supposed to play Prestige on my iPad in HD? don’t answer that. We’ll let the lawyers fight it out.
