iPad iPad 2 Jailbroken by Comex!

Status
Not open for further replies.
And...just to prove my point. iClarified has just posted that 4.3.1 has been jailbroken (NOT FOR iPad2!). But...look closely at what i0n1c stated...most importantly item c (quoted below):

"c. I am not giving out any ETA again, because the Jailbreak community is simply nuts. Last time I gave an ETA and even before that had passed I got constantly insulted by people that were demanding an immediate release. Sorry guys the more you insult people with the knowledge to actually do what YOU WANT the less motivation there is to use our free time to give it to you."

Comex is working on a jailbreak for the ipad2. It at this point is unknown when it will, if ever, be released. Patience is a virtue....

It'll be here for sure the day it's released :)

I will say this forum is never short of misleading titles though, hehe.
 
Comex has been updating his twitter, not sure if any of you follow it or not:

@comex: yeah, uh. I can find kernel exploits, but this is ridiculous.

@comex: As noticed by @0naj, my kernel exploit was fixed in 4.3.1.

@comex: I try not to be paranoid, but it is really hard to explain this as anything but a leak.

@comex: The funny thing is that my "new" kernel exploit is actually the kernel exploit used by JailbreakMe 2.0. It was never properly fixed.

@comex: It stayed there from 4.0.2 through 4.3, but was magically found in time for 4.3.1. well, go go @MuscleNerd and @i0n1c I guess

It doesn't seem to be looking very good for 4.3.1

Wonder if this now means 4.3 will be out soon? Sucks the exploit is burned.
 
That's just today... tomorrow brings new beginnings and guarded hope... That's not the first time I've seen Comex be stumped..
 
meh, i want the jailbreak, but i can be patient since im not actually doing anything to help. It will come when it comes, until then im fine with my ipad
 
What I don't understand why is their so much news about 4.3.1, when everyone said stay away from it. Their is no 4.3 news anywhere. Is 4.3 not being jailbroken?

4.3 was jailbroken, but the jailbreak hasn't been released publicly. It's not known if 4.3.1 can be jailbroken, hence the warnings not to upgrade. Right now the hackers are trying to see if 4.3.1 can be jailbroken, hence all the talk is about that. If it turns out it can be jailbroken, then a JB will be released for 4.3.1, and we'll be told it's ok to upgrade. If not, a JB will be released for 4.3, and you'd be glad you didn't upgrade.
 
4.3.0 sucks bad. Gyroscope isn't recognized by apps that need it, which is a huge bug. Also crap battery life, facetime issues, and other assorted annoyances. I'll take a 4.3.0 jb, but id much prefer 4.3.1.
 
If it's fixed in 4.3.1 why not make it public?

Clearly apple know all the detail, so why keep it secret?

Or is comex just trying to make it more user friendly?
 
From Twitter today:

"i0n1c Stefan Esser
I learned the last two weeks that Apple might win the jailbreak war soon,because the jailbreak community is pissing off those doing the work"

Wouldn't surprise me, it is just a bunch of ungrateful and impatient drones.

Anyway, last I heard the iPad 2 (4.3) exploit is still being worked with, and has not been packaged to be of any use to an end user yet.
 
I sold my iPad 1 which was jailbroken on 4.2.1. Since buying my iPad 2 the jailbreak is biggest thing I miss. I'm staying on 4.3 until we know which version the jailbreak will work on!

Not sure what "issues" you're having, but I've had 4.3 (never seen it called "4.3.0" since there's no such thing, Math 101), but I don't have gyro issues, and my battery life is fantastic. I can't say I use facetime much, but when I have I've had no issues. Sounds like you might have a device issue, not a widespread OS issue. When Apple released 4.3, it was widely understood that it was released to plug the jailbreak.... tho it seems for many that "issues" suddenly are realized when Apple releases a "fix" ... I have a feeling that you're the type that if Apple releases 4.3.2 to fix "volume issues" you'll suddenly complain that you hate 4.3.1 because of the volume bug, even though you'd never mentioned it until they said they're fixing it. That's the type of person psychics prey on... lol.

This is why I ditched iPhone and went to Android 2 months ago. I got sick of the waiting game for jailbreaks. I have no right to a jailbreak, I just wanted it sooner, and the devs have had a harder and harder time making it happen for every OS release. Android on the other hand, has everything I jailbreak for already built into the OS... widgets, better multitasking, personal hotspot (not ad-hoc crap, etc). I bought an iPad assuming the chatter about "it's almost here" from 3 weeks ago wouldn't be like the Christmas promises that didn't come through till February for iPhone, but again I was disappointed.

Again, I don't feel entitled to something, my frustration isn't with the Dev Team, it's with Apple. They're focusing sooooo much energy on fighting jailbreaking that Android has focused the same time on building the features and OS that users want. If this thing doesn't come out in the next week this iPad is going back. Apple already lost me in the phone business, guess they want to alienate me as a tablet customer too?

Ok, queue the Apple fanboy flamers... it's fine, I can take it. I speak from reality not fanaticism. 1 year ago iOS owned the market, now Android does. Give it one more year and it won't even be close if Apple continues to treat customers like prisoners. That didn't work out well for them in the 80s, which gave MSFT the ammo they needed to permanently take the market, and this isn't panning out any different.

I own a iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G, and an iPad 2, so I am certainly partial to Apple products. But regardless of that, I have to say that was well said bella.

I agree with the frustration with Apple.

In someways, I feel bad that I have had to JB my iOS devices. But it is frustrating that it is what is necessary to try to have a reasonable experience.

For example, from the get go, I don't have to swipe to unlock. Why is something so basic not built in to the control panel? If I want to turn off Swipe To Unlock, I should be able to, period!

I find it very frustrating that I can't connect my USB card reader and read CF memory cards. My choice to upgrade from 3.2, but frustrating nonetheless.

I also should be able to change the default browser, display anything I want to VGA, change my brightness with a couple of clicks, put more on my dock, etc.

On the other hand, it is hard to dispute the number of quality apps. I know I am not married to Apple, so, if and when there is a device and OS equal to the iPad/iOS, I will have NO qualms about switching.

I'm impatiently waiting, only difference is I'm not expressing my impatience out loud. A lot of people should try that.

Wow, you hit every nail on the head. I agree with you 100%. I think Apple's defense of trying to create a streamline experience is bogus.
 
Yep. That is why the viphone did not sell through... Verizon customers have lots of excellent choices when it comes to smart phones. No question if you are using a late model top tier android device like the dx it is Painful going back to a viphone. Add to that real 12Mbit plus downloads only on Verizon and only on android phones and apples offerings are not even in the game. A viphone 5 with lte would make it a bit more interesting but I'm not holding my breath. Buddy has a Atrix on atandt and gets 300 down.... its pitiful.

The viphone kills in video conferencing though....

I agree.

Tho I really wonder who is using Facetime? I know everyone talks about it like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, but it's like the webcam on my mac, yeah it's nice to have when I call my mom across the country, but it's something I'd use about 0.01% of the time, and if I were going to use it, it's more likely I'd tell my mom to get on the computer and skype me on my computer to have full screen HD video chat...
