iOS 6.1.3/6.1.4 Untethered Jailbreak Update for Priority A5+ Devices lowered

iH8sn0w, the official developers of the Sn0wbreeze, currently under the development on the untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.1.3 / iOS 6.1.4 has just released one of its updates on the progress.



For those whom are waiting for an iOS 6.1.3 / iOS 6.1.4 jailbreak, with an A5+ device the situation is a bit awkward.

Presently the iH8sn0w has announced that the priority for the A5+ devices has been lowered as the exposed plans in using the the jailbreak for iOS 7 are still working, so as like they have decided, its better to preserve them as they could be usefull in developer the iOS 7 jailbreak rather than making it out as releasing it as the untethered jailbreak for the A5+ devices.


People are probably wondering why focus on A5+ devices is being lowered in priority. This is not because of difficulties, it is actually because it turns out a few of the vulns we were planning on using still work on iOS 7 (kind of exciting [yes and no]). We do not want to publish these vulns as they have the potential of being used in a future iOS 7.x A5+ jailbreak. With that being said, we are not removing our focus on an A5+ 6.1.3/6.1.4 jailbreak completely. We are looking for some vulns that exist in 6.1.3/6.1.4 but not iOS 7. The problem is… in terms of security iOS 7 looks likes an iOS 6.2 :P . This wouldn’t be a problem if Apple did not silently kill the lockdown socket bug. We were initially planning on using that vuln to recycle the shebang attack used in evasi0n to remount the rootfs, but when I found out it was patched, I initially said it wouldn’t halt the progress of the jb. This was before we found out the other vuln we had to get root and remount the rootfs as r/w still works in iOS 7. 

Well presently they are working on with the untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 4G with the tehered jailbreak available for these devices presently. Hope they would release a Cydia package that would be able to convert the tethered jailbreak to an untethred one.

They might release the untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.1.3/6.1.4 for the rest of the devices when evad3rs team releases the iOS 7 jailbreak to prevent disclosing any new vulnerabilities. And well they have not released any ETA on when the untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 4G running on the iOS 6.1.3 shall be released.

For those whom are waiting for the jailbreak for iOS 7 without updating their A5+ devices on iOS 7. More over it would be one last right decision not to release an iOS 6.1.3/6.1.4 untethered jailbreak that could make over with the development of the iOS 7 Jailbreak.
