It seems Apple is shipping the newest 3Gs iPhones with an updated bootROM that is not vulnerable to the exploit that the iPhone Dev. Team takes advantage of in order to jailbreak the phone.
One of the iPhone Dev. Team member’s, code named “MuscleNerd”, has confirmed that the loss of the exploit would mean a normal jailbreak would be impossible for the time being.
Advice – if your due for a new phone, replacement or otherwise and have to be jailbroken, try to find an older version somehow.
I can’t help but wonder if Apple made the change to prevent jailbreaking or it was just the result of the change which was meant to fix another issue. Apple has had plenty of chances to stop jailbreaking in the past and they haven’t chose to do so yet. Why now?
I have always had a passion for gear and gadgets. It all started for me with the release of the very first Palm Pilot. I've always had an interest in handheld electronics. From handheld PDAs, to cell phones, Mp3 players, watches and other products, I'm the first person my friends, family and colleagues call when they need advice on tech. I have roots in the online tech. forum community. I served as the Administrator to Howard Forums.com and as a Moderator at both Treo Central.com and Blackberry Forums.net. Under the screen name “lgreenberg” I've amassed 50,000+ postings. I also manage my own YouTube channel under the user name larrygreenberg. I'm always eager to help.
