Working on an Automatic Mac Jailbreaker

AriX · Oct 12, 2007, 06:19 PM

Hey guys, just wanted to tell you that I'm currently working on a program called iJailBreak. I'll likely post the beta at a site called Apple-Touch, at http://www.apple-touch.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2404

psychofreak · Oct 12, 2007, 06:21 PM

I'm sure this will greatly increase the number of Jailbreakers

Spoolin · Oct 12, 2007, 06:52 PM

Yep!

I know when this is released I will break mine...

Looking forward to the released!

Chris.

thanks for the heads up, good luck to you

AriX · Oct 12, 2007, 07:02 PM

Thanks guys... working on it now.

Wailord · Oct 12, 2007, 07:05 PM

Woo!
Haha, dibs on beta...

This should be nice. What would happen if the beta was...buggy, if Murphy's Law went into effect?

Thanks for doing this!

Then you would end up with a partially completed jailbreak and would simply have to restore your iPod with iTunes...

I'm waiting for this one too, hurry up!

Is there an ETA on this beta release?

Well, I'd love to hack tonight- anything I can do to help/we can do to help?

Not exactly...

I THINK I've gotten it to fully Jailbreak the phone as well as install Installer.app. Now I just need SSH, media fix, and some other minor things. (I think)

I've given up on the current method to jailbreak. It's just not worth my time and effort. So hopefully this thing will be easy enough for stupid noobs like me..

Did you follow my step-by-step picture flipbook guide?

AriX · Oct 12, 2007, 09:43 PM

Sorry guys, but no release tonight... Look for it tomorrow or Sunday.

Could you please give an ETA for the time zone GMT+10

With you people asking questions you can get answers yourself by doing ~2 minutes of searching on google, its just gonna take longer for the OP to get the software done..

dschiller · Oct 13, 2007, 11:32 AM

Thanks in advance for all your effort!

I'm waiting for this to jailbreak my iPod touch... I'm not sure I can do it the hard (as in not-automated) way, so this will help a lot!

Cheers

Daniel

AriX · Oct 13, 2007, 05:05 PM

Hey guys, little status update here:

It now jailbreaks, installs ssh, and installs installer.app, just need springboard and the beta is done! It requires some user interaction right now, but it's not too bad. I hope to fix that in the future.

Cool. If you need any hints, look at the source for my code. The best thing is to not use SSH or SFTP at all for the jailbreak, because that tends to be unreliable for many people.

will this be ppc compatible?
