SHAtter to Jailbreak iOS 4.1 iPod Touch 4G, iPhone 4 and iPad

SHAtter will Jailbreak all existing iOS iDevices forever. posixninja and pod2g have discovered the first exploit of the S5L8930 chip (the A4), which allows the use of unsigned code execution in order to create a tethered jailbreak ‘SHAtter’, a jailbreak for life. This same exploit was earlier discovered independently by geohot, who left jailbreak community a few months ago.

pod2g found a new bootrom exploit to jailbreak iOS 4.1 yesterday and early today Musclenerd confirmed that iOS 4.1 Bootrom exploit works flawlessly on new iPod touch 4G, iPhone 4 and on iPad as well as all of them has the same IBoot-574.4

Those who don’t know, Bootrom exploit, which is unlike userland exploit JailbreakMe is a low level-bootrom exploit, that can’t be fixed by Apple without a new hardware release of iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad and the iPod touches with new bootroms. Just firmware update will not going to patch the bootrom exploit.

[update 1] – The page has been deleted.

[update 2] – Will Strafach has updated his post -

• We have not yet announced if this is tethered or untethered
• We have not yet announced details about the exploit
• Anything you read saying it is one of the above in definite terms is just speculation, again, we have not given official word about the tether status or any details regarding the exploit used.
