It seems that the well-known hacker Stefan Esser aka i0n1c, has rekindled hopes for a new untethered jailbreak for our devices running iOS 6.0.1 and 6.0.2. In an exchange of words with “Just Another Hacker” it seems that it got as a gift a beta version of what will be the next jailbreak untethered.
Story behind Untethered Jailbreak
Stefan Esser is usually teasing his followers on Twitter. We report this news with all the necessary precautions because on one hand there may be a grain of truth , on the other hand, unfortunately, may be of yet another of his pranks.
The offending tweet today, said: “Yes, I just got a Beta of the new tool to jailbreak iOS 6.0.1/6.0.2, M00nsh1ne, as a Christmas present” . It was published just a few minutes over another conversation in which mocked users who believed the false jailbreak a few days ago, the Dream JB .
i0n1c Previous Statment about Untethered Jailbreak
Besides, we remember that the same i0n1c had warned everyone that there would be no jailbreak for iOS 6.0.1 , probably not “burn” the exploit to jailbreak a short-lived, and use it directly with iOS 6.1. The declaration of today, therefore, it would seem even in contrast with the statement made by him only nine days ago.
The hope for Untethered Jailbreak of course remain
Who knows what the various dev-team will not make us find a new stable tool for untethered jailbreak of our beloved devices under the Christmas tree as early as next December 25.
I have a feeling he was being facetious when reading that tweet in context.
It would be great if they fixed the annoying ‘feature’ where the personal hotspot stops broadcasting wifi if you don’t use it for a couple of minutes, it drives me mad having to keep restarting the feature to reconnect my iPad.
