Loading Screen Messed Up After Jailbreak! (Pic Inside)

It seems like this is what happens now during a respring.

 

I have the same thing on my iPad but on the right hand side.

 

it is a common thing op. Don't sweat it

 

happens to me when respring too. seems to be the norm

 

Glad it's not only happening to me!

 

It'll happen to everyone who uses the new jailbreak. It's normal. Want a (quite interesting) explanation why it happens?

Comex's jailbreak is a high level userland jailbreak. The problem with userland jailbreaks is the runtime code has to be stored somewhere, and it's more difficult here. So comex and co did something clever. They encrypted the jailbreak payload as coloured pixels and stored it in the buffered frame that displays when iOS is starting up or respringing.

To sum it up, those coloured pixels are the jailbreak code. If you had a good enough eye you could read off the RGB values of the colours and convert them to runtime code.

 

Mind blown.

 

Just when I think I learned a lot about technology...a genius comes up with this stuff.

Indeed, mind blown.

 

Hello! of course there's going to be weird things happening here and there. You're messing with a stable product and opening up to anyone so it's going to run weird.

I jailbroke one phone back in the day and it was doing some annoying things. the smoothness was gone and I never jailbroke again and things work great.

 

I'm not exactly sure why you quoted me. I'm not the one who freaked out about it...

 

HOLY COW!!!

REALLY?!?

 

Was worried about this too. First time jailbreaking so thanks!

 

Man the stuff that you people know and figure out is amazing

 

Hold on a second. Let's not make this sound more amazing than it is. They did not encrypt the jailbreak payload as colored pixels. They stored the code in the file used for the reboot image. That code "corrupts" part of the image and that is what we see as colored pixels.

S-

 

HATER!!.....JK!...LOL......Yes you are correct!

 

Might I direct you out of the iPhone Hacks section? Probably more appropriate for you.

 

My thoughts exactly.

If one has decided jailbreak wasn't for them, what is to be gained by monitoring these threads ? That said, of course everyone is entitled to browse where ever they choose.

 

+1

 

Where do you get this info?

 

Some programming experience and lots of previous jailbreak experience and peeking at the jailbreak code. Also this:

But sidewinder is right, it is more correct to say the coloured pixels are a consequence of the code corrupting the image rather than the code being encoded itself. But you could still theoretically work backwards from the colour of the pixels to get the code again.

 

Thank you for the info.
