iOS 5 Untethered Jailbreak Hole Discovered By Chronic Dev Team

by Ahmed Omar on November 7, 2011

We’ve seen 7 betas of iOS 5, iOS 5 GM, final release of iOS 5 and two betas of iOS 5.0.1 but we haven’t seen an iOS 5 untethered jailbreak yet. Only iOS 5 tethered jailbreak is currently available and that’s mean you’ll need to connect your iOS device every time it’s rebooted. However, iOS 5 semi untethered jailbreak was released two weeks ago closing the gap between the tethered and untethered jailbreak.

Today some news coming from pod2g about the iOS 5 untethered jailbreak. Pod2g, a member of the Chronic Dev Team, claims that he has discovered a hole that can untether iOS 5 jailbreak.

Hey jailbreaking friends, I’ve found a bug that can untether iOS 5. Don’t expect a release soon, but I’m gonna work hard in it.

We haven’t heard any news about what kind of exploits that jailbreak will be. It’s most likely going to be userland jailbreak like JailbreakMe jailbreak tool.

This bug discovered by Pod2g won’t jailbreak iPad 2 or iPhone 4S, instead, it will only convert iOS 5 tethered jailbreak into untethered one. iPhone 4S and iPad 2 jailbreak was discovered by the iPhone Dev Team few weeks ago.

The iOS 5 untethered jailbreak will not be released soon. Pod2g and other team members will be working hard to get it fully working on iOS 5. We’ll surely update you whenever something happens, I recommend you follow me on Google+ and Twitter to get the updates immediately.

If you found this post useful, hopefully hit the +1 (recommend) button ⇉

    When the untetheared jailbreak will be founded ?

  • Ice-95

    Please reply .. Waiting n’ waiting n’ waiting , I became tiered

  • Jaimz

    Damn you people can’t read or something. Clearly every jailbreaking dev out there has given an exact date and time, down to the second, when they’ll find the jailbreak. I mean I always set a specific date and time when I’ll find something.

    Like once I lost my keys so I said “I’ll find my keys under the couch on October 5th 2001 at 9:43am”

    Come on… RTFA

    Bring me Siri on my iphone 4 so i can divorce my wife!

  • Fail

    there will never be an untethered jailbreak for any further iOS release after 5

  • Chronic

    the Dev Team is not working on it. sell ur ol’ iPhone and get the unlocked version so you don’t have to wait a long time for an unlock.

  • Gazon

    I CANT WAIT FUCKING JB FOR IPAD 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMN!!!!!!!!

  • bob

    wow wait wait, back then they said its already covered. now theyve just found a bug? so this bug is for untether jailbreak like on jailbreakme? and the covered one is for those using redsnow?

  • Hutchence1960

    How can you say that this untethered bug isn’t for the iPad 2 or 4s? They never said that unless I missed something????

  • Ice95youmoron

    you are a fuking moron, read the article.

  • Ds

    tit balls

  • Nboutlander

    Just switched to htc windows phone.. this is stupid.. I’m finally seeing how lame the iphone really is..

  • CaMoBaPuK

    STFU and release untethered jailbreak. (<>) IOS5 madness.

  • CaMoBaPuK

    5 days left. And it will be one month since the ios5 release. DAMN o_O !!! WTF. 10 exploits!!! Where are they!!! Not a single access to ipad2. F?ck ._.

  • Zelenkan00

    hahaha you have a point some peoples are realy stupid

  • Johnlee

    lol, you and your windows phone are lame.

  • Nboutlander

  • Nboutlander

    Than*

  • M0r0n2

    Yeah, when!
    Stupid jailbreaking can’t take that long.

  • iPhoneHackerSucks

    they’re not able to do this anymore.

    I’m happy that they’ve finally found a bug that they can exploit for jailbreaking. Like everyone else, I too have been very patiently waiting for an untethered release. Hopefully the necessary development can come soon; I am thoroughly tempted to just run stock iOS 5 instead of my heavily customized iOS 4.2.8!

  • RkoViper81

    I am also tempted to run just stock ios 5 I hope an untethered one will be out soon.

  • Logan

    No all jailbreaks so far are tethered this will be untethered

  • Sponger544

    Ipad 2 and iPhone 4s run different hardware than the others. The exploits they have are for the hardware we’re used to, eg iphone 4, 3gs, ipod touch 4.

  • Sponger544

    You try jailbreaking it then.
    The coding required is really long. They have to reverse engineer everything.

  • Ashes for Tears

    … Really guys? Do any of you consumers have Amy idea of what or how much effort is involved in programming, or developing? Seriously, give these guys a break. They work hard for you, and for free, too. If you can do better, I invite you to do so.

  • Ary Lolagne

    May the Jailbreak God please send some payers my way i need my phone unlock, the upgraded to firmware 04.11.08 by accident

  • www.facebook.com/unlimitedsounds Dave Hauss

    I want to get an IPHONE BUT there are things I need to do that I can not without an untethered jailbreak…. UNLESS Apple would put them into IOS so we dont ned to jailbreak.. things like missed called reminders, a better lock screen with calendar, etc and more..

    Does anyone think there will be an untethered Iphone 4S jailbreak within a month or two? or am I going to just run stock if I buy an iphone and never get a jailbreak?

  • Karlo0013

    If someone cant wait…just shut the f*** up.

  • QASERDFSSEFSDF

    Как шлюхи набивают себе цену

  • SSRaditz94

    im currently running semi-tethered because the wait for the untethered is slowly killing me however im sure the awesome people at the dev team are working hard for us to JB untethered, so just show some patience and wait.

  • Guest

    My 4s is running rooted android which is emulating jailbroken ios 5 which is hosting a sexy party with siri and iris.

  • Hh

    Hey… shut up! Nobody cares what you and your illiterate mouth has to say.

  • Christopher Reeves

    And why exactly does speed matter? Oh wait, it doesnt! Does the iPhone make phone calls? Yes. Does it send and recieve SMS/MMS? Yes. Can it browse the internet? Yes. Can it run applications? Yes. Oh guess what? It has GPS and Wifi!! Look at that, it can do everything your phone can! Actually, it can do a lot more. Surprised you didnt know that, numbnuts.

    And what the fuck are you doing on an iPhone article if you own a Windows phone?! Need glasses? Mabye a life? I dont know all Im saying is you should sit down and really consult the inner you and figure out just what the fuck you are doing with your life. Cause you seriously need to get one.

  • Bill Gates

    agreed!

  • Hudsen

    get lost. Hh.

  • MuscleNerd

    you know what? Screw this. I’ll just keep it to myself. Cheers, MuscleNerd.

  • MuscleNerd

    Beijing (China) companies pay me to work on these exploits and put them on these tiny chips called Gevey Sim. The economy is so bad nowadays. I need to get paid for my services in order to survive. Cheers, MuscleNerd.

  • Hutchence1960

    But I saw a vid of Musclenerd JB the iPad 2 and 4s. How’s that? Won’t this new piece of discovery work on the A5?

  • Destroyerx

    Lol I just saw these two arguing about this. “Hh”. That has to be the pussiest come back I’ve ever seen in my life. I really hope to god you have a vagina because that’s the only thing that would excuse such a retarded retort. Hahaha you fail at life. Go back to the 2G since speed doesn’t matter after all and all you care about is fundamental functionality. Infant, go get your self a flip phone since clearly this kind of technology is not for you.

  • Nboutlander

    Wow.. sad lives u lead.. read what I said again dude.. I “just switched..” from iPhone after having once since they came out years ago.. so I got bored with chasing jailbreaks and hacks.. and the screen.. kill me. LOL I was only being funny with my “pussy” comeback.. good luck with the ol jailbreak hunts.. I’ve retired. LOL It’s always a good laugh to post a little remark on here, like everyone else.. and watch the nerds come out and write book replies, taking what is said to heart. hahaha take care guys.

  • Nboutlander

    Destroyerx.. I skimmed through ur post too fast.. sorry about that.. I see now it was for “hh”.. me bad.

  • Omerlux

    If my Cydia got deleted by UIKit Tools in IOS 5, should I restore it to ios 5 again and restore, or I can’t because SHSH?

  • Ben

    No? Why?

  • twitter.com/samsaysmore Samantha Watson

    I am getting my iPad 2 tomorrow… I really wish the jailbreak was ready! All my iThings will be jailbroken the minute this is released!

  • Chriss6996

    I feel you man. I love my iphone but if not jailbroke, its iPOOP. I havent been untethered for while, my first four had an in consitant home button and when apple replacedit, of course they updated the software so by by unthered. Good luck!

  • Chriss6996

    you can already get the files and port it without the untether. someone have the instructions and downloads, but if not the files, I got mine from Pirate Bay in a torrent form but thats what Utorrent is for!

  • Anonymous

    but first u have 2 jailbreak iOs5!

  • PoorGuy

    indeed

  • Yourmum

    Not faster apple have harmony between hardware and os your phone is windows ,based on outdated Dos software from the 90′s

  • Abkm87

    Hi there

    I have a question, since Apple released the IOS 5.0.1 and the jailbreak will be applied on the IOS 5, people who did the tethered jailbreak (as i did), how they will be able to restore their idevices to IOS 5 again then do the untethered jailbreak !!!?

    i wish we dont have to downgrade to IOS 5 then do the jailbreak because this opreation by itself is complicated !!!

  • Akshaysood13

    how to kailbreak ios5 untethered plz plz tell me my id is akshaysood13@gmail.com

  • guest123

    wat neww stuff can yhu do on ios 5 jailbroken.? or wat new stuff can yhu add.?

  • Dzenisj1

    I will wait until the IOS 5 jailbreak comes out.Thank you guys for working so hard to fuck Apple over.But,until that I don’t know yet weather or not to do anything with Cydia because nothing will work.Winterboard won’t function correctly and I’m afraid something might happen.So,please try to work harder and try to find an easier way to untether.Like jailbreakme as you guys said.But thanks anyways and I hope you guys get back on track with it all and hopefully everything will be compatible.And no errors will be show

  • Art

    When do you think it will be available

  • Usepropergrammerdumbass

    i would answer your question if I could understand what you were trying to say.

  • B ers

    What he said is essentially correct. I don’t see you working on an untethered jailbreak, or on an untethered jailbreak or even a jailbreak at all that’s free.

    These guys, however, are.

    If you think you can do better, go ahead and try.

  • B ers

    *grammar

    Use proper spelling, dumb@$$.

  • B ers

    And your UNIX-based software from the 50s.

    And Windows isn’t based on DOS, modern Windows is based on NT, which is a heavily modified version of DOS which has numerous improvements while maintaining compatibility with apps from literally decades back. More than you can say about any Unix or Linsux-based OS.

    And besides, Windows Phone is the most stable mobile OS ever. I see iOS users rebooting occasionally, Android users rebooting at least once a day, and constant crashing on either platform.

    As the proud owner of a Windows Phone, I can truly say it’s never needed to reboot, and never has except when the battery dies.

    Oh, and there’s also a proper app store. Not your iOS-like dictatorship of an app store with pathetic regulations that drive the majority of developers away. For instance, Firefox can’t even be ported because Apple prohibits any web-enabled app from using anything other than the WebKit libraries.

  • Bigthingreg

    Not soon…as the article says…

    i give up, i updated my ipod you all lied when u said “the untethered will be released soon” one month as gone by nothings been done so i am not listening to ur pathetic lies nymore. LIARS

  • 1982pa

    “And Windows isn’t based on DOS, modern Windows is based on NT, which is a heavily modified version of DOS” (so its based on DOS) even Bill gates knows this sh1t..start again we gonna give you one more chance.

    lol u fucked yourself..hahahaha no brains

  • Dlanc85

    you guys are full of crap.

  • blueprint

    its free so fuck off

  • dancing_throa

    These developers are all doing these jailbreak stuffs for free so I think we guys should just be patient of waiting Untethered JB’s and don’t you guys act like they owe so much from you cause you are not paying them for these works. They’re doing this as a hobby and to think that it’s not really easy to do so. So if you think you’re better than them and is so pissed off, why don’t you get your ass up and do the work yourself so you can contribute something productive than shouting your sentiments.

  • www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001811543843 Eliijah Moss

    For all of you to have the audacity to rush them is externally and internally rude. Hacking the iPhones firmware is a complicated task. There fore, just be patient. the untethered jailbreak for IOS 5 should be released before Christmas… making it a gift that would make you thankful. Or atleast the ones who think like me and the developers. Since im only 13, you dont have to agree with im saying, but those who cant wait… SHUT THE HELL UP AND BE PATIENT!!! >_>

  • B ers

    Just because it’s based on DOS doesn’t mean its DOS. Just like there’s several Linux distros based on Ubuntu; that doesn’t mean they’re Ubuntu. Or just because Splenda is made from sugar doesn’t mean it’s sugar.

    Like I said, it’s a heavily modified version of DOS which still works very well. Since it is heavily modified, it can be barely considered DOS.

    And the way you replied makes you look very arrogant, and hints at ignorance

    And, out of the entire argument, something like that is what you reply to? So, you pointed out 1 potential error, which really isn’t an error at all, when I pointed out almost all of you idiots’ points as errors? That just shows you don’t know how to reply with sufficient evidence and you’re just looking for some sort of personal attack as a sort of “get out of jail free card.”

    So congratulations on that, by the way.

  • Siyx

    What?!? A tethered jailbreak isn’t good enough for you?? Stop your crying and suck it up buttercup. If you updated prematurely then who’s fualt is it?? Apple put a gun to your head to hit that “upgrade now” button?? iPxxx Hackers threatened to steal your mommy if you didnt upgrade to the latest greatest??
    Pfff you people make me sick, do you know how long it takes to go through thousands of lines of code looking for the one loophole??? Grow up.

  • Siyx

    You either need a lot of beer or be in grade 5.
    He is asking:
    1 – What new and wonderful things can iOS5 do that 4.x cant while jailbroken.
    2 – What new cydia apps work with iOS5.
    Pretty much the same question twice
    Back to my beer drinking.

    Ahmed Omar, Please stop bringing up the same old sale old quotations that have been circling the internet for months…..

    To the chronic dev team, you realize that not even 5.01, but 5.02 is now available? What’s with all this wait?
