Controversy Over The Untethered 6.0.1 Jailbreak

Controversy Over The Untethered 6.0.1 Jailbreak

I wrote a post a few days ago titled 6.0.1 Untethered Jailbreak Almost Complete which was met by many comments and remarks from the both extremes. Some thought that the news meant that the jailbreak was imminent and that they should upgrade their devices now which is not the case. On the other side, people were accusing us of spreading false information and that everything that we said was not true, which is also not what happened. The post was based off of P0sixninja’s tweets, who is a established hacker in the field so in no way was the information faked. Soon after Musclenerd made a tweet claiming that all the blogs had the wrong info and that the boot rom had not been dumped since 2010. This is what started a lot of the hating.

Lots of tweets today about a “bootrom exploit” being found.Bootrom hasn’t even been dumped since 2010, let alone crashed or exploited.

P0sixninja responded with some technical speech basically stating that he had progress and it was not entirely what Musclenerd had expected.

@musclenerd actually I have quite a few crashes, and I’m close to dumping it. I never said I had a bootrom exploit though

I hope you will use this information to better understand the situation and make decisions for yourself. Its hard to tell when the jailbreak will come out, so I will leave you with a tweet that explains why.

@jbstation until all the pieces are there, the best ETA is still just “in progress”…anything more is often too misleading
