In case you have not heard, no the bird is not the word, no really if you haven’t heard: You can jailbreak you iOS4.0 and iOS4.0.1 iDevices more easily than ever. How? Simple as going to: jailbreakme.com on your iDevice. This simple jailbreak operation seems to work flawlessly. This brings me back to the original jailbreak that was done via keeping the phone unactivated, opening an emergency call, typing a code, adding a contact and enabling the preferences, joining a wifi network, and then hitting the contacts website to go to, the very same site that we are using now! It’s funny how things seem to go back to where they started. Anyway this is simple and worked perfectly fine for my iPhone 4. Now that I am jailbroken, which was recently made LEGAL, although Apple never sued anyone who did jailbreak, we can customize our phones the way we went. There has only really been 1 problem and that is with Winterboard. If you don’t know, Winterboard is an app that is used to customize your theme, not everything is working correctly on the iPhone 4 since there has been some change to theme items names because of the HD retina display. Regardless, with my Elite Pro theme, my phone looks bad ass even though all of the customizations won’t kick in until Winterboard is updated. So to recap: if you want to jailbreak your wonderful phone to unlock its true power, go to jailbreakme.com on your device and jailbreak away.
The jailbreak is achieved using a recently found PDF security hole. Basically the site sends your phone a PDF with some code that allows the installation of Cydia. Now be careful when browsing sites that could have malicious code because the same path could be taken to put trojans or other baddies on your device. There is a jailbroken app called “PDF Loading Warner” which will stop a PDF from opening without your knowledge however, if you open it anyway, you could still get hit with something malicious.
Apple is aware of the issue and is rushing to release the next iOS version to fix the security flaw, so jump on this jailbreak while you still can! Although I am sure there will be another one for the next iOS as well. Either way like usual Enjoy!
