So in yet another effort to help keep this place clean as well as help keep the file system and database lightweight, I am going to be deleting all the SIGNATURE PICS that have been uploaded to the forum. I am also going to be doing some removing of old attachments as well. I have explained more in detail below as this does NOT affect all members.

This is not to punish members in any way, I am just trying to help shift resources around to better improve the performance of the site!

~SIGNATURE PICS~
This ONLY applies for those members who have UPLOADED a signature pic to the forum itself. This doesn't apply to people who have their signature pics hosted somewhere else. You are still allowed to have pictures in your signatures however from now on you will be unable to upload them here directly to the forum. You will need to use a 3rd party hosting site as suggested below.

If you have uploaded a signature pic to the forum then it is going to be deleted within the next 48-72 hours. I am giving you guys a heads up so that you can SAVE your current signature pics from the forum just in case you don't have a backup. This way you can upload them to a 3rd party hosting site and then link your picture from there to your signature here on the forum. See the links below for a few suggestions.

~ATTACHMENTS~
Attachments are becoming a bit of a nuisance especially now with the iPhone 4 being that the screenshots are TWICE THE SIZE they used to be. Currently each member is allowed up to 5MB worth of attachments. However I want to make members aware that you can easily upload your picture attachments to one of the suggested 3rd party sites below. This will help keep the database and file system resources down.

~3rd Party Hosting Sites~
Here are a few good sites that you can easily upload your picture attachments as well as signature pics or any other image that you want to post for that matter.
ImageShack - Online Photo and Video Hosting
TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing Video Hosting
Free Image Hosting at FreeImageHosting.net - Upload Images for MySpace, Blogs, and Galleries
Image hosting, free photo sharing video sharing at Photobucket

It was initially expected that the untethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak might be released somewhere around the Christmas Eve. But if this latest tweet by Comex is anything to go by, we may not see an untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 by this Christmas.



"I think I’m going to miss my Christmas deadline…"

It is to be noted however that the iPhone Dev-Team already has a backup plan ready, but that will require iOS 4.2b3 SHSH blobs for untethered jailbreak. Comex is said to have a more efficient userland-based untethered jailbreak method for iOS 4.2.1. This untethered solution will almost certainly be applicable to all current iOS 4.2.1 devices, including the new A4-based ones which includes iPhone 4, iPad, Apple TV 2G and iPod touch 4G.

More info as it comes, stay tuned !

The SHAtter bootrom exploit which was saved at the last minute because of Geohot’s Limera1n for the next-gen iOS devices such as iPad 2 and iPhone 5 has been leaked.

SHAtter exploit was found by pod2g in the hardware of A4 based devices (iPhone 4, iPad, Apple TV 2G, iPod touch 4G) and was originally scheduled for the now infamous 10.10.10 (10th October 2010) release before Geohot made a surprise return with Limera1n jailbreak for all iOS devices.

P0sixninja of Chronic Dev team who worked on then SHAtter-based GreenPois0n tool accused MuscleNerd of iPhone Dev-Team publicly for leaking the exploit. MuscleNerd of course pleaded not guilty, and cleared his stance that why would he do it as he will need the jailbreak to work on unlock for the next iPhone. MuscleNerd also noted that there were like 15 to 20 others in the room when pod2g showed his SHAtter code for the first time.

Now what this drama means is that Apple is going to patch both Limera1n and SHAtter in one go for all the next-gen devices, and in a hardware revision for the current iOS devices.

Here is a part of their conversation that took place on Twitter:

p0sixninja: @MuscleNerd no, the version leaked had one small change I did right before it was given to YOU and YOU only!!

p0sixninja: @MuscleNerd pod2g gave it to you in PM

p0sixninja: @MuscleNerd dude, you leaked it and tried to frame me to get pod2g to leave cdev, I’ve already heard it all

p0sixninja: SHAtter is burned, and now everyone knows why. Oh well, untether bootrom exploit is still on the way

MuscleNerd: @p0sixninja you never gave me a version

MuscleNerd: @p0sixninja please stop trying to bring up drama again. You always do this when you’re otherwise empty-handed.

MuscleNerd: @p0sixninja I believe one of the 15 people in that room leaked SHAtter because GP didn’t work on Mac at that point

MuscleNerd: @p0sixninja lol yes, that’s exactly why I would leak something that helps me more than anyone (unlock depends on jailbreak). Please think.
