I thought by leaking it that it would encourage comex to release the jailbreak faster for everyone else.

What do you think he's doing - just sitting around and enjoying us wait nervously? He puts all his time and effort into this.


Here's the thing: exploits are very hard to find. Apple patches them soon. If you have one, you stay silent about it, until it works on all versions flawlessly, so that everyone can enjoy it.


It is too early to tell, but if this was a very early stage of testing (probably not but could be), you could very well be responsible for this jailbreak not working on a subset of devices, like the 3G iPad 2. Again, it is too early to tell, probably not the case, but whoever leaked this very well could have just screwed over thousands of users waiting for a jailbreak. And undone all the hours and effort comex put into it. Worst, he may be so pissed about the wasted effort, he may stop developing. That's why you wait for the final product.


I can't believe I have to explain that.
 
@MultiMediaWill: why you're seems very proud of this leaking thing? I think you should stop now!
 
If Comex is so far from releasing that a leak today gives apple enough time to do that than Comex deserves it for being so incredibly misleading on twitter;)

I certainly don't buy that this guy had pure motives though.
 
How do you guys know that he could be far from releasing it? I thought he was about ready to release it, maybe I'm wrong. However, leaking it is very lame!
 
Def a douchebag move to leak this mans hard work before he intended it to be released to the public. Thx to this guy he might have discouraged comex from developing potential future jbs

As close as he might be, there is always a real possibility that there is a show stopping bug found at the last minute that can substantially delay the release. Leaking this kind of work is always a very dumb idea, since the content is very sensitive, i.e. Apple also has access to the leak and can begin taking measures to closing it up before the JB is even released.

I hope nothing comes of this... Will, someone posted your name/ address so if shut hits the fan when trying to roll out the JB, I would be worried were I you.
 
I just got up and found out that this jailbreak was sorta released but there are many issues and many cydia apps not working..very strange..I wouldnt even try installing this even if it were for 4.3.3 so I am going to wait..I hope the guy who leaked this beta wont cause Comex to delay his release
 
I find it amusing that people are getting in a hissy fit regarding this. OK, it wasn't his right to do so and was wrong but lets be frank here. The only reason people are angry is that they're worried that Comex will be pissed and won't release the final version for 4.3. You can argue til you're blue in the face but thats a huge underlining factor why everyone is kissing ass here becasue it could happen - which btw I doubt.

So in conclusion, sucky thing but don't pretend indignation served is just as bad to me.

Well at least its better than every one being ungrateful and saying mean things about comex, which has in fact stopped plenty of devs realeasing free apps or updates.

No one deserves a jailbreak, but I am grateful for all the fun and convenience it has brought me.
 
he just tweeted this "Congratulations, some moron used a dictionary attack(?) to leak a buggy version and put me on a useless time limit."

I guess somebody found it and now comex is pressured to release.
 
I'm currently on 4.3.0 on my iPad 2 3G. If comex is stating to use TinyUmbrella and save 4.3.3 blobs, should I be upgrading to 4.3.3 so I can take advantage of his jailbreak when it is released?
 
I think the problem is that Apple has probably seen it and I wouldn't be surprised now if apple releases a 4.3.4 and stops signing the 4.3.3 firmware because of this. now if you don't have yours saved with tinyumbrella, that could be a problem.

That's why leaking was a bad idea. But I guess people don't really care about the jailbreak community, or they wouldn't have risked it.

just to make sure..im better off upgrading to 4.3.3 than staying on 4.3.0 right?

If you are on 4.3 and have your shsh saved, then it doesn't really matter as you can restore to 4.3 anytime. Currently, the buggy beta seems to be working only on 4.3.

Wasn't able to save my SHSH on 4.3, by the time I got my iPad 2 i was no longer to save it...still debating either to upgrade to 4.3.3 or not
 
So you are partially responsible for what happened also?

If you read the blog, you wouldn't be asking this question. The answer is yes, Saiz is responsible as is MultiMediaWill. Get your boots on because the BS rationalization has already started, with MultiMediaWill tossing out the first turd.

No need to upgrade to 4.3.3 in order to save SHSH. TU can save the blobs even if the firmware is not installed on your iPad. Just make sure you have the latest version of TU, and run it.
 
@veeence
Expect 4.3.4 very soon. Get your SHSH for 4.3.3, and do NOT upgrade to 4.3.4. For iPad2 3G owners, this jailbreak fun is somehow limited.

Since Apple will stop signing the iPad's baseband and since there is no bootrom exploit yet, there's no "kick out of Recovery Mode".

Apple is already fixing the PDF vulnerability (and thus patching the jailbreak) while users don't even have the JB yet. Leakers... Useless.
