No, this is not an April Fools’ prank! iPhone hacker and iPhone Dev team member, MuscleNerd, has officially confirmed that they are going to release new Redsn0w (possibly Redsn0w 0.9.8) to allow untethered jailbreak on all the iDevices except iPad 2. Here are the latest updates from MuscleNerd -
A nerdy new option in today’s redsn0w lets you boot custom kernel+devicetree (for kernel hackers like @comex and @i0n1c)
we’re just doing normal testing across all devices + configs (unlocked vs. legit). Everything is on track for a Funday (USA time!)
Along with Redsn0w tool, iPhone Dev team is also planning to release PwnageTool 4.3 for iDevices. Now, get ready for the Funday! We will keep you updated with more information. Don’t forget to download iOS 4.3.1 firmware from here.
Update 1: iPhone unlockers will have to wait for few more days or weeks, as Dev team has not developed the compatible Ultrasn0w unlock tool.
Update 2: Ultrasn0w 1.3 unlock may arrive today.
Update 3: iPhone Dev team has released two untethered jailbreak tools for iOS 4.3.1 firmware – Redsn0w 0.9.6 RC9 and PwnageTool 4.3
Update 4: Ultrasn0w 1.2.1 unlock for iOS 4.3.1.
