Untethered Jailbreak For iOS 4.3.2 Could Be Released Soon

iOS 4.3.2

As reported yesterday, iOS 4.3.2 can be jailbroken using PwnageTool and Redsn0w that were released to jailbreak iOS 4.3.1 but it’s a tethered jailbreak.

iPhone hacking expert Stefan Essar with Twitter handle i0n1c has confirmed that the untether vulnerability that was used in PwnageTool and Redsn0w has not been fixed in iOS 4.3.2 that was released by Apple yesterday.

Essar tweeted:

Apple has been nice. I just verified that the untether vulnerability is not fixed in iOS 4.3.2 – my Ipad 1 is running untethered jailbroken

Of course the public untether binaries will not work with iOS 4.3.2 – I have to generate new untether binaries with new dyld/kernel offsets

I won’t be able to create all the untether binaries before sunday, because I will be on planes, …

The dev-team cannot produce the untether binaries on their own, because they don’t have the source code to the untether exploit.

It’s not clear when the tools that support the untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.3.2 will be released but we expect it to be released soon. As we had mentioned yesterday, it is recommended to wait for the iPhone Dev team and iH8sn0w to release the tools rather than using the ones released for iOS 4.3.1.
