Breaking News: A5 Untethered Jailbreak will be out in a few hours!!

iOS security researcher pod2g, announced on his blog that the Corona A5 jailbreak will be out today. A tool named Absinthe and developer by the Chronic Dev Team. said pod2g on his blog. This comes as fantastic news as all of us with the iphone 4s, and ipad 2 have been waiting since that beautiful release day back in October. 

This is what pod2g had to say on his blog. 

A tool named Absinthe and developed by the Chronic Dev Team will install the untether on your device. Also the iPhone Dev Team will release a CLI (command line) tool to help diagnose issues and repair things if it goes wrong.

This is a little scary I know, but the chance you break something is really small, since we made lots of tests to verify the process on different devices. But it is the first time we use the backup / restore functions of iTunes to install software, and there are maybe things we are not aware of.


So as you can see. This jailbreak will be done in a very different way then we have seen before. Below is a complete list of devices that will be compatible for the new jailbreak. 




Here is the complete list of Absinthe supported devices :

• iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0, 5.0.1 (9A405 and 9A406)
• iPad 2 Wifi/GSM/CDMA running iOS 5.0.1

Remember we will report when the jailbreak is ready for use. So stay tuned fans.
