It’s now official! iPhone Dev team will not be releasing software to jailbreak iOS 4.0.2 or iPad 3.2.2, which means that if you have upgraded your iPhone iOS to 4.0.2 or iPad to 3.2.2 or have recently bought iPhone 4 with iOS 4.0.2 or iPad 3.2.2 then you are out of luck. iPhone Dev team do not want to use the exploit on 4.1 Beta firmwares in which nobody but Apple benefits. For this reason, there won’t be a 4.0.2 iOS and 3.2.2 jailbreak specifically during the period where iOS 4.0.2 and 3.2.2 is the latest public release.

Currently, Apple is shipping iPhone and iPad with iOS 4.0.2 and 3.2.2 respectively, which fixes the jailbreakme hole instead of introducing new features or fixing bugs. With FW 4.1 still in its beta stages, it makes no sense to escalate the “cat & mouse” with Apple for FW updates that only fix the jailbreak holes. iPhone Dev Team quoted, “the only winning move is not to play”.
Those who have jailbroken their iPhone on iOS 4.0.1 with JailbreakMe, there is no need to update it to iOS 4.0.2 as it only patches the PDF Exploit in Safari browser. Alternatively, you can install PDF Patch from Cydia repository in order to fix PDF vulnerability. However, if you have unintentionally upgraded your iPhone or iPod Touch to iOS 4.0.2 but have your SHSH blobs saved, then you can easily downgrade iOS 4.0.2 to iOS 4.0.1 firmware.
