iPhone 3GS Jailbreak Not a Problem, Says Dev Team

“It’s not going to be impossible to jailbreak even if the exploit we used is gone,” a statement from Eric McDonald – a member of the iPhone Dev Team – goes, referring to the newly shipping iPhone 3GS units. The hacker crew is notorious for developing and distributing tools (including the Pwnage tool) to hack Apple devices including the iPhone and iPod touch.

Last week, an iClarified report had a tipster providing evidence of a new Bootrom inside new iPhone 3GS units shipping from Apple. The site reported that, “Apple is now shipping the iPhone 3GS with a new Bootrom that is not vulnerable to the 24kpwn exploit.” According to the piece, the iBoot-359.3.2 started shipping a week behind, with MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev-Team confirming that, “The loss of the 24kpwn exploit would mean a normal jailbreak would be impossible for the time being.”
