On the heels of the release of iOS 5.1 to the public and the release of new redsn0w tool version to tethered jailbreak 5.1 for A4 devices, hackers have already started working on finding vulnerabilities in the newly released iOS 5.1.
As has been informed previously, iPhone 4S users who upgraded to iOS 5.1 can’t downgrade to older firmware even they have SHSH blobs saved. Apple blocked the way of downgrading in the iPhone 4S. Any other devices with SHSH blobs saved can be downgrade to iOS 5.0.1 to get untethered jailbreak using our previous guide posted here.
Currently, there’s only a tethered jailbreak for all devices except the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 on iOS 5.1 so the famous iPhone hacker pod2g announced via Twitter that he’s working actively in order to find vulnerabilities in iOS 5.1.
This comes in a to a user asking pod2g about the release date of a jailbreak for what Apple calls “the new iPad”.
As a side note, pod2g the well-known iPhone hacker i0n1c in a tweet telling him that “a little bird told me you’ll have a surprise soon.” What kind of surprise? Can we see greenpois0n absinthe jailbreak tool update for iOS 5.1 soon? Share your thoughts!
