I did a Q&A with MuscleNerd yesterday about the 4.1 jailbreak progress here is what he had to say

How long have you guys been developing the 4.1 jailbreak ?

> In some sense, years! Many of the tools, methods, and concepts carry over from one jailbreak to the next. But as far as the stuff that's brand new and unique to this jailbreak, things really picked up on the day that @pod2g got his SHAtter exploit and payload working ( http://twitter.com/pod2g/status/23932796062 )

How many people are working on the 4.1 Jailbreak ?

> Including both teams and independent contributors who belong to neither team, about 8-10 people are working on the unique aspects of this jailbreak.

Will the 4.1 jailbreak be 4.2 compatible ?

> If it's not already compatible by the time 4.2 comes out, it can likely be made to be compatible. (But nothing is ever 100% predictable.)

Are you guys waiting for the 4.2 GM Build to be released till you drop the new jailbreak ?

> Nope! There are parts of it that aren't fully worked out yet. The goal is to make it easy and safe enough for most peopl...,..

Thanks for compiling the info, nothing really new or surprising there.


For the sake of the thread, this is what P0sixninja had to say a few days ago (Sep 23):

P0sixninja said:
Although we still can’t give any details of the exploit(s) that need to be used, I figured I’d make an update here to just let you guys know that we are still working hard on the jailbreak and making steady progress. Please keep in mind that even though we have had the method for a while, there was a certain very key element that we (or rather, pod2g the great) only got working a few days ago, so it’s not like we have this packaged up and we are just sitting on it. It is being actively worked on as I type this (the loader, the payload itself, the easy to use computer-side tools, the payload, the patches, etc.) Just hang tight, it will definitely be worth it.

Yes, we still don’t know “when greenpois0n will be released” but we can explain here “what greenpois0n is” for those who are not following the updates from last few days.

Greenpoison is not an exploit. In fact it is mere a name, like Snowbreeze or Redsnow, given to a jailbreak tool which was developed for iPad and was not released as mentioned above. First of all an exploit is found in the iOS to bypass the security that prevents the installation of third-party apps and games. After testing the exploit on different devices, it is bundled with another program to make a final toolkit for common user.

So far one working exploit has been confirmed for iOS 4.1, but other exploits are also being tested as said P0sixninja. At this time any updates about these exploits will be far too technical for anyone, who is not involved in such hacking, to understand

Glad to see it's being worked on :) Cause I really need to service my phone for the faulty home button...
 
I have to admit that I'm a little disappointed in them not updating pwnage tools for those of use that don't have to wait for the new exploit.
