pod2g update via his blog

I want an untethered jb as badly as anyone else does (I'm on an iphone 4 and I'm tethered on 5.0) but I really do hope they wait until 5.1 is released before they release an untethered jb. There's really no sense in them burning an exploit at this point, especially when it's pretty clear that jailbreaking is becoming more difficult for them. I do feel bad for 4s owners but if you've waited this long for a jb, I'm sure you can wait another couple of weeks or so until 5.1 is released. It's certainly better in the long term if they hold off on releasing the jb so that Apple can't close the exploit in 5.1.

I've said this before but I'll say it again, and I agree.

5.1b3 or 5.1GM must be around the corner literally in a matter of days! I hope they wait!
 
Damn, looks like I was right:

"The jailbreak is near ready for prime time (excluding 4S and iPad 2)."

It's times like these I wish I went into electrical engineering instead of mechanical so I could just do the damn thing myself. Maybe I can ask some of my EE friends to work on it over winter break because I honestly don't think we'll see a 4s JB for at least 2-3 more months.

This makes me a sad panda

He also has said this

"Here are the news of the 4S week-end.

The untether fails right now because I'm having processor cache issues.

I'm close, but I can't figure out what happens. It certainly has something to do with the Cortex-A9 cache management."


Then said this the next day or so

"OK, figured it out, the A5 cache is not a problem anymore.
I sorted it out by doing the untether in a single thread and by flushing all the dcache then all the icache in a row at a strategical point of the process.

It took me like a hundred of tests to find the key. Hard for the nerves."

He's also working on a 4S untethered and he's making good progress.
Its nowhere near 2-3 months away but if you want to be negative about it go for it. Im sure we will see it a lot sooner though.
 
I'm sitting on 5.0 (no JB) on my 4s. Is there any reason that I should or shouldn't go ahead and do the upgrade to 5.01 before the untethered JB comes out?

yes. if you would like an unlock, stay on 5.0, as per musclenerd.

why upgrade to 5.0.1 when that update didn't seem to fix battery problems? all it will do is make it harder to unlock potentially.

Unless you're going to ask your EE buddies to ask their Comp Sci buddies, I doubt they're going to get far.
