iH8sn0w tweets Jailbroken iPod touch 2G running iPhone OS 4 Beta

[Michael Essany]

iH8sn0w, the accomplished hacker linked to n0wbreeze, F0recast and BlackBreeze, is getting attention for a Tweet put out last night that was accompanied by photos and video of the newest jailbreaking conquest. iH8sn0w has unveiled a jailbroken iPod touch 2G running the iPhone OS 4 Beta.

As far as we know, iH8sn0w is presently toiling with a bundle for iPod touch 2G and iPhone 3GS to be used with PwnageTool to jailbreak these particular devices on the latest firmware. Unfortunately, it isn't yet clear when the pwnage bundles will be ready for their grand reveal, but iH8sn0w is believed to be working feverishly to make sure that the roll out happens sooner rather than later.

You check out the clip here.

The video, which is only 28 seconds long, obviously doesn't reveal very much - like multitasking. But this hacker/dev has the credibility to make his claims resonate. Of course, the proof is always in the pudding. And, until more info and resources are made available, the pics and video will ultimately fall on incredulous eyes and ears.

iH8sn0w's photo and video revelation of a Jailbroken iPod touch 2G running OS 4.0 beta, however, comes only a couple days after we similarly observed video of multitasking on a jailbroken iPhone 3G that was also running the 0S 4.0 beta.

i think os 4.0 will be very quick cracked on all devices

[dsg]

^maybe, but an unlock could take longer

Edit: if at all

[EddieLeonard]

i just hope its a untethered jailbreak for the newest 3gs
i hated the tethered jailbreak on 3.1.2

[moon#pie]

Didn't he block that last jailbreak that Stealth and he were working on?

[iphone8130hak]

Yea it will be a unteathered one

[Atomi]

isnt he creator of Sn0wBreeze? what is n0breeze?

[iYeow]

Wow, I want that OS 4.0 jailbreak on my 3GS. I doubt it will work for the newer 3GS.

i,m happy as i only have a 2g ipod touch, i'll feel sorry for the ipod 3g / iphone 3gs users if it still turns out to be a tethered jailbreak. that has to be a pain in the backside to work around.............sudeki300

[iphone8130hak]

3GS will get support later when its released

[feidhlim1986]

Why is this news?
We already knew the beta was jailbroken...

[tmokorn]

Possible on 1G iPod Touch?

[sziklassy]

4.0 can't come out fast enough! Still crossing my fingers that the jailbreak will work out of the box on the 4th gen iPhone.

[mikeyman70]

unfortunately im still stuck on the 2g iphone, so im really hoping that it will be possible to hack the 4.0 firmware on the 2g, its stupid that they wont release an update for the 2g, even if it is just a really toned down version than the ones for the newer iphones, i still need a new iphone lol, at least a 3g but preferably the 3GS, i know for sure i wont be getting the iphone coming out this year

The iPhone OS 4 was put on an iPod 2G.. Maybe that's why?

Old news made new again

[Prox]

This is old news but lets not get excited about it either thinking easy break for 4.0

They are reusing old exploits since these are old generation devices to jailbreak, only so cydia dev's can get there apps working for 4.0 don't get excited by this.

Get excited by this they are holding the userland spirt jailbreak since its untethered cause its a boot rom exploit found. This will be used for the final 4.0 OS.

Does this mean that iPhone 2G is getting ready to run iPhone OS 4.0? If so, would love to help the community do that.
