Many people are anticipating iPhone 4S iPad 2 untethered 5.0.1 jailbreak anxiously. Pod2g recently revealed that he has run in to problems related to this jailbreak. However, all notable iOS hackers have now joined forces in order to pwn iOS 5.0.1 for A5 based devices.
The iPhone 4S iPad 2 untethered 5.0.1 jailbreak is going to be based on the exploit that pod2g recently released for jailbreaking A4 based devices untethered on iOS 5.0.1. Currently, the iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad 1, iPod touch 3G and 4G can be jailbroken untethered on iOS 5.0.1 using this exploit. If you want to learn how to do that, follow our detailed guide posted here.
The reason why iPhone 4S iPad 2 untethered 5.0.1 jailbreak release has been delayed is due to sandbox issues. Chronic Dev Team member p0sixninja recently dropped the F bomb in a tweet, because sandbox issue is hampering his progress on the jailbreak as well. Theoretically, the iOS hackers do have an untethered jailbreak for A5 based devices, they just have to find an exploit which allows this jailbreak to be distributed. Only recently it was clarified that the iPhone 4S iPad 2 untethered 5.0.1 jailbreak requires a developer account for being distributed. Since majority of owners do not have developer accounts, and won't consider paying $99 per annum for it, distributing this jailbreak at this point in time is impossible. Unless that exploitable bug is found, through which the jailbreak can be distributed.
Lucky for us, all iOS hackers and gurus have decided to join their forces. It should be kept in mind that it was pod2g's sole effort that brought us untethered 5.0.1 jailbreak on A4 devices. Some say that too many cooks spoil the broth, but looking at the iOS gurus, one can only be excited because these people know exactly what they're doing, and have never failed in the past.
Joining pod2g on his quest to release iPhone 4S iPad 2 untethered 5.0.1 jailbreak, are legendary hackers @Planetbeing, @MuscleNerd and @p0sixninja. If you're new to the jailbreak scenario, you might have heard of MuscleNerd and p0sixninja. Planetbeing is actually one of the first people who started jailbreaking in the early days. He is also credited for releasing the first ever automated iPod touch jailbreak in October 2007. MuscleNerd is a very well known hacker, to this day he remains a vital player in the jailbreak scenario. He's the front man of iPhone Dev Team and lends his expertise to redsn0w and ultrasn0w tools. P0sixninja used to be a partner of p0d2g when he was in the Chronic Dev Team. He himself is a talented iOS guru and is currently working on the A5 sandbox.
Guys and gals, be advised that this does not get any better than this. If, Lord forbid, these guys are not able to release iPhone 4S iPad 2 untethered 5.0.1 jailbreak, then there's a big possibility that no one else will be able to do so too. They literally are the Einsteins' of jailbreaking. We'll let you know as soon as we hear more from them.
