Numberzz Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Just this morning, many hackers released a very easy way to jailbreak your iPhone. In fact, you don't even need your computer! Just go to Safari and then to go jailbreakme.com. At the bottom of the page, just select "JailBreak Me" and then Safari will quit, bringing you to the home screen. Do not touch your iPhone until you see the "Slide to Unlock" page. When you next see the home screen, it will have Installer.app waiting right there for you to use it. You might have to restart your phone if it seems slow. Jailbreaking puts your Phone in a state of letting files be able to be written to it, so 3rd party apps can be installed.

bofors Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Interesting, does any body now how JailBreak gets Safari to do this trick?

Archion Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 It appears to use the tiff exploit and then patches the hole when it's done. Looks like worst thing that would happen is to need a restore.

Numberzz Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 Sorry, that was Atreyu S3's iPod Touch, where he edited the iPod Carrier JPGs to say verizon. But it is still hella hacked.

~pcwiz Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 The verizon thing is a fake. Its been edited. Numberzz got that pic from this thread: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=67907 Its actually an iPod Touch. Read down the thread and you find that the guy admits that he faked it.

bofors Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 It appears to use the tiff exploit and then patches the hole when it's done. Thanks. So, when Safari loads a certain TIFF file it causes some kind of buffer overfull to gain control over the phone?

kernalzero Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 risks of completely bricking phone? what is the restore process? (if different than a normal system restore) success vs failure stories? I've got an activated iphone through at&t so if this is as simple as running it and I'm good, restoring to 1.1.1 when apple updates again i'm ready to go...

Numberzz Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 No risks. The worst thing you will have to do is restore it. Restoring backs up your settings and then downloads the newest iPhone firmware.

GanjaManja Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Does it not seem incredibly worrying that a simple website can 1) crash your browser 2) run code that makes it reset (and do who knows what else) 3) leave behind a program for you to run ? It is certainly very nice that someone set this up just to unlock your iPhone , but honestly, I could never be cool with some website running any code they wanted to muck with the inside of your computer/phone's OS. Seems a stone's throw away from installing anything the website wants. If I were a virus writer, getting viruses onto iPhones & iPods (with Bluetooth, Wifi & CELLULAR access) would be a dream come true! Think of all the penile enlargements that could be sold! Anyway, not too surprising if many things break. More surprising that it sounds like the site really is made just to unlock your phone and (well,l so far) Not install viruses.

SurferSD Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Instructions for Jail Breaking a non-activated phone (i.e. you have T-Mobile or another GSM carrier in Europe) 1. enter *#307# press call, now use the back button on the top of your screen to remove *#307# , now enter 0 , press call, press answer, press hold, press decline. And you get to the contact list. And thereafter every time you push the homebutton you just slide the "emergency call" slide, then enter 0 , press call, press hold, press decline 2. Push contacts, end call and you get called again, this time hit decline and you access one of menus with favorites, you can edit contacts, do a test ride on keyboard, take photos etc. 3. Now edit a new contact and type in "prefs://11" as web-address and "http://jailbreakme.com" as an additional URL. 4. When you tap "prefs://11" you can now select your favorite WiFi gateway. 5. Now press the home button and move the slider to the dial-pad. 6. Now you can go back to the contact list by Dialing 0, push call, then answer, then contacts, then hit that web address you typed in.

~pcwiz Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Those instructions are on the jailbreakme site. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/68347-jailbreak-for-iphone-and-ipod-touch-111/#findComment-497742 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurferSD Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Those instructions are on the jailbreakme site. Actually, they aren't. If you compare my instructions to theirs, mine is a lot easier as it directs you to the system preferences where you can select your WiFi and input any WEP/WPA key as needed and you don't have to be "really quick and select a network before the phone freezes" ... their instructions read like this (http://www.jailbreakme.com/safari.html): 1. enter *#307# press call, now use the back button on the top of your screen to remove *#307# , now enter 0 , press call, press answer, press hold, press decline. And you get to the contact list. And thereafter every time you push the homebutton you just slide the "emergency call" slide, then enter 0 , press call, press hold, press decline 2. Push contacts, end call and you get called again, this time hit decline and you access one of menus with favorites, you can edit contacts, do a test ride on keyboard, take photos etc. 3. Now edit a new contact and type in http://jailbreakme.com as web-address. 4. When you tap the address safari opens but only displays an error saying that it cannot access the website, it also looks like safari freezes up. 5. Now press the home button, and for a split second the iPhone shows a screen where you can select wi-fi networks. Now you have to be really quick and select a network before the phone freezes. 6. Next you get Back to the "emergency call page" and every on screen button has frozen so the only thing you can do is turn off the phone. 7. Turn the iPhone off then on again 8. Now you can go back to the contact list by Dialing 0, push call, then answer, then contacts, then hit that web address you typed in.
