Never...he knows what he's talking about. "Bricked" is an over-used and misunderstood term in the iPhone world.

Thank you.

That's really the beauty of DFU mode: it is entirely hardware-based, and cannot be interfered with by any software means. It even bypasses iBoot. You can't even flash the chip that controls DFU mode without taking your phone apart. I promise you, if people can't do a DFU restore, it's because they've got a hardware problem, not because software "bricked" their phone.

That is good to hear. I come from other phones where even a bootloader mode can get scrozzled, leaving the only way to flash a phone is via JTAG (and good luck finding a manufacturer who will hand you the JTAG pinouts.) DFU mode is how phones should be done (so no matter how corrupted the flash load is, it can be zorched and fixed somehow.)

Hosting JB may take till tonight, Rapidshare/private trackers are not letting my proxies go through... For right now I am sending a hand-full out with some devs/people who have asked me via twitter. Again, I do not guarantee anything, it has its bugs, but it works, @comex should be releasing newer version soon.


Fake.

I'm not sure, This fella sounds fishy and something seems strange - but something tells me that he is telling the truth.

Not me. He hasn't posted a single picture even to prove it. Would've taken 10 seconds to take a screenshot.
 
I asked him how he got it, and if it was through comex' permission, his response:
iMacRat
@FledMorphine who cares, people who want to get risky on betas should have that choice, we were not asking for a pretty GUI, just an exploit

Judging by his last tweet, ih8Sn0w makes a good point:

iH8sn0w

@Roundhouse23 lol. @iMacRat doesn't have it. Trust me. He just wants comex to release it faster. It wont do anything to the release.

Theres a gazillion hosting sites, why he's only trying rapidshare is beyond me as well.
 
I asked him how he got it, and if it was through comex' permission, his response:

I dont think it will happen....how did this dude supposedly get it and he says it beta ..........but if its true people will jump at it like crazy....i hope its not true because releasing something to early is not good for anyone

He does, its like iH8Sn0w stated, he's just bluffing into trying to get comex to release it faster. But if comex never gave it out, what point is it?

Whats funny is I recognize his youtube, someone else once posted they had the iPhone 4 jailbreak, and then iMacRat went on to prove it wrong. Seems kind of ironic now.

yeah why not upload to torrent if he really wants a proxy to work.
 
Gee I wonder how I could get lots of attention and a ton of new subscribers on my twitter acct. wait I know I know I have the Jailbreak everybody wants. So who wants it.. :rolleyes: I will call ******** on this one! Unless this is the same guy that got a hold of Frash and released it in which case Comex needs to pick his friends better.

Hah, like that Dutch porn star offering BJs to all her followers if the Netherlands wins the World Cup. Hey, iMacRat, I have an idea, if you really want comex to release the jailbreak, you could offer to .......
 
Yeah I think iMacRat is full of it, too. His excuse:

"Hosting JB may take till tonight, Rapidshare/private trackers are not letting my proxies go through..."

Uh huh. Really. I can upload to Rapidshare in about 3 seconds.

I'd like to be surprised, but really... not expecting it at all.
 
Now he's pulling the "here's a picture to prove it" move...and conveniently forgetting to link to the picture!

1. The picture is going to be blurry

2. Looks like he's only doing torrents

3. Unlock "not working"
