While I don't deny he's a drama queen driven by glory, who the hell are you to be mad at him? He jailbroke his own device (the actual way (first time I did it there was like 72 command line steps, and that was actually the short version)).That is, posting a picture of a jailbroken iPhone 4, not releasing it, then going into recluse?
If that ass wasn't going to release it, he should have never posted a picture or told people he was able to jailbreak it, IMO

Maybe he thought he had it broken, and started bragging too soon. And realized that there was a problem or Apple was able to close the hole that he used to jailbreak it.
Or maybe Apple came knocking at his door and had him arrested, and he is sitting in Jail right now.
He didn't actually jailbreak the iPhone 4. It was a fake picture to get people like you all jacked up.
Apparently, it worked.![]()
Not a wise move for sure.
.
people get burned out, cant fault the guy for leaving....lots of pressure im sure.
Doesn't matter, I already made a thread about his leave and it turned into a disaster.This thread is not about me.

about geohot i think he did a very good job in the jailbreaking scene but sometimes he was an ass by leaking the hacks like the ps3 and the iphone 4 and then not releasing them sorry if im wrong
Oh gosh, here we go
My bottom line with geohot is that I wish him all the best, hope he finds what he likes doing in college, thank him for what he did that none of us could do, owe him quite a bit concerning using my iPhone overseas - I really feel that way. He's a genius that this community owes quite a bit... but people are allowed to criticize him for being dramatic, childish, rude, and pretentious. Genius, gratitude, well wishes being criticized and are generally mutually exclusive.
Are we allowed to admire what he has done but criticize him for being a drama queen? Furthermore, people are allowed to be critical even if they can't perform the tasks they are criticizing... apply the same logic to another example and you can see - Im critical of a lot of things: Apples iPhone 4 design flaws, The Chicago Cubs, Politicians - can I do what they do - certainly not
Oh well, just my thoughts.
he doesnt owe anyone a jailbreak... i jailbroke my iphone 4..... am i now an ass for not giving it to you? um no. idk why people feel they are entitled to it
I cured my own cancer, am I an ass for not giving the cure to everyone else?
YES. Don't post your videos of your jailbroken iPhone 4, rub it in our faces and then quit the iPhone hacking scene without releasing whatever you used to do it.
ITS A DICK MOVE.
