DevTeam Explains Why They Wont Release iPhone 3Gs Jailbreak Yet…

DevTeam Explains Why They Wont Release iPhone 3Gs Jailbreak Yet… the reason is pretty much self explanatory but Spock said it best: “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few…”

You all know that GeoHotz finally jailbreaked iPhone 3Gs, but the dev team is delaying the official release until the new FW is released by Apple. The reasons are obvious but, as promised this morning, the DevTeam has written a new article on the official blog, which explains some important details about the iPhone 3Gs Jailbreak.

Pretty much the iPhone 3Gs Jailbreak is ready , and they can release the tools anytime, but by doing that, they will allow Apple to check out the tools, and implement protection in the new iPhone OS update 3.0.1. And if they do that, all the work needs to be redone ( more or less , but still…. ).

If you are already holders of an iPhone 3GS and have saved the certificate on your ECID, you are safe and Jailbreak there will always be possible. IF you didnt save the certificate on your ECID, DO IT NOW!!!
If you dont have a 3Gs , but your thinking on upgrading, step it up, and do it. Once you did it, save the certificate on your ECID.

The 3Gs hardware allows Apple to block the installation of .ipsw files without digital signature and it is precisely for this reason that saving the certificate through the ECID is a must.

GeoHotz: iPhone 3Gs Jailbreak Is Easy, But We Have To Wait

George Hotz, spreads the word that iPhone 3Gs jailbreak is extremely easy, but we have to wait for the next FW update. The reason is simple, Apple can block anytime the JB, if they know what the tools do.

On a previous FSMdotCOM post, you were informed that iPhone 3Gs was unlocked by GeoHotz but the iPhone Dev Team delays the release.

After being questioned on iPhone 3Gs jailbreak, GeoHotz responded by saying that the process is really simple because it is enough to add only 10 lines of code in Redsn0w, the Tool of the DevTeam.

At this point we should wait for the new firmware 3.0.1 to be able to perform the Jailbreak dell’iPhone 3GS!

The new firmware is scheduled to be released sometime in July, so you just have to wait a couple more days, but my guess is that its worth waiting.

The reason is simple: Given that the Firmware 3.0 is full of bugs, it is clear that Apple will release an update soon. If the DevTeam release programs, Apple will probably be able to block them with the next update.
