Will There be a Jailbreak for iOS 4.0.2 ?

SPONSORED LINKS

Recently I am flooded with questions from all my readers asking for the next release of Iphone 4 iOS 4.0.2 Jailbreak which patched the “PDF Exploit” , and all previous jailbroken iphone’s stopped working. I have been answering the same question repeated again and again in the forum and the main iPhone 4 Jailbreak blog , that a new JailbreakMe may be announced soon after iOS 4.0.3 launch after the Ipod touch 4 release in Sept 1st in the Official Apple Musical Event .

Iphone Dev Team published this message an hour ago in their official blog :

Apple has closed the jailbreakme.com hole.  They’re shipping devices with FW 4.0.2/3.2.2, impervious to this particular jailbreak.  So now, people will begin to ask: will there be a jailbreak for devices that shipped with 4.0.2/3.2.2, out of the box?

No, there won’t be.  FW 4.0.2/3.2.2 was *only* released to fix the jailbreakme hole.  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. To quote WOPR, “the only winning move is not to play”.

This now brings uncertainty cloud over next jailbreak announcement . Bad news for Iphone 4.0.2 users , there is no jailbreak for you now. The iOS patch jas just to cover the jailbreakMe hole , as said above.

However , stay tuned to this blog , as we bring you 24×7 Jailbreak Alerts via email for those who have subscribed to our updates , and you can get the jailbreak , before its fixed.

Note : Those with upgraded to iOS 4.0.2 version from iOS 4.0.1 , they still have a hope to downgrade . Please follow the Downgrade Tutorial in the blog for more details .

    What you have written in the Note does it refers to downgrade without saved ECID?
    Could you link this , please?
    I’ve one of that people…….I’ve updated careless fro 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 ten days ago and now I’m desperate……
    Do you have some well notice for us?

    • Tom says:

      Same situation here. I mistakenly upgraded to iOS 4.0.2. If someone know how to downgrade, please let me know. Thanks.

  2. Iphone Blogger says:

    i am not sure if we can restore using SHSH blobs of another iphone … need users views …

  3. Gian Singh says:

    Uhhhh i didnt get the dev teams message

    • Iphone Blogger says:

      they said now jailbreaks anymore , till the dust settles …. so not coming in the next 1-2 months :( …. bad news

  4. Ka Chun says:

    excues me, will have new jb update for iphone 4 4.02 version??
    I am so sorry about my english, my english is not very good, Thanks so much….

    • Iphone Blogger says:

      Srry K , there is no JB at the moment . It will be around after few weeks … Bookmark this page by pressing Cltr+D for future reference …

      thanks

      • HACK€r1 says:

        Their will def. Be a jb. Every1 knows it. What about all of those people making money off of the apps that apple said weren’t good enough for their hierarchy ?? Just be patient people. We hackers are working furiously.

      • Iphone Blogger says:

        @ Hacker1

        Thanks for leaving your comment . Its just that people go for some paid jailbreaking solution ,which stopped working after the iOS patch, and they loose their money spending on these stuff , when jailbreakme is completely free .

      • Curtiz says:

        thz,for ur encouragement hacker,i have just bought i phone 4 4.0.2 and i am really desparate for not having JB for this version,hope there will be and i am happy to hear what u said.

  5. Yash says:

    Will the new jb for 4.0.2 allow the same freedom as it’s predecessors?

  6. Jan says:

    Hi! I just want to unlock my iphone with OS4.0.2, is this possible without jailbreaking?

  7. LUiS.P says:

    I’ve just bought my iphone 4 in USA, sadly with OS 4.0.2, and had no idea that was comited to at&t.

    All i can do is wait, until someone cracks this firmware version, so i can unlock it and use it her in Europe.

    • Iphone Blogger says:

      @ Luis

      The Apple Event is few hours from now. Maybe a firmware release along with the iPod touch 4. Expect a jailbreak soon …

      • stupid 4.0.2 :( says:

        i have the same problem at Luis :(
        do you think if we update to 4.1 then we can downgrade to 4.0.1? i duno im just wondering.. i really want to use my iphone 4!!

  8. muzt says:

    do we have to make jailbreak to use iphone 4 os4.0.2. or unlocking prosedure is different? and some web sites mentioned that they can also handle 4.0.2 without downgrade is it possible? and for last question if we buy iphone 4 with os4.0.2 is it possible to make downgrade?

  9. Saif says:

    Hello
    I have an iPod touch and I have recently updated it to 4.0.2 and I have a jailbreak , which I did working for 4 hours continous on the computer.

  10. nate says:

    i ordered my iphone 4 two months ago and when i finally get it, you guessed it 4.0.2 i cant belive it almost makes me not want to own an iphone! please please please let there be a god and let us have a jailbreak soon

  11. john says:

    hey i just got an iphone 4 about a week ago with 4.0.2 just wana know wen you think the jb will be release

  12. CBtech says:

    I recently purchased the iphone 4, with the version 4.0.2. I am also waiting for the jailbreak for it.

    I have a question. Why does the apple store sell the locked version of the phone then for the full price. I bought the 32gb iphone for $700. Isn’t it our property to use as we please if we buy the phone from them for the full price.

  13. Hani says:

    is it possible to unlock iphone 4 version 4.0.2 without jailbreaking?

    and how can i activate my new iphone without origianl sim card. (it is locked for ATT)?

    please help, thanks :|

    • CBtech says:

      hi hani, as per my understanding, you cannot unlock the iphone 4 without jailbreaking it.

    • muzt says:

      i asked maybe million times to salesman in apple store (DENVER, USA) that “can i use it with my own service provider in my country without doing anything, is it factory unlocked phone?” he says “ofcourse no problem with that” guess what same problem with you… if im not too away from usa i just want to get there and throw this brick to his face… i bought this s**t two weeks ago and still waiting for jailbreak… and i dont have any hope… it seems we wont use this phone… :(

  14. soul says:

    I got an iphone from USA paied for it 765 $ and it came 4.0.2 , does it need to be activated or is it international ? how can i find out that , soz guys im a noob but still wana know what to do exactly so i get it working .

    • Hikmat says:

      Well i baught 1 2 hours ago for $760 as well and its locked for AT&T use only so u jus need to JB then unlock it when its available, but i asked them @ the store and they told me that i wont require an activation AT&T sim card, hope i could help

      • CBtech says:

        Through my understanding and reading online, the only thing we can do (this refers to people who bought the phone from the US) is wait for version 4.1 .. we upgrade the phone with that version, and then a jail break should be available for that.. i don’t think 4.0.2 is going to have a jb for iphone 4…

        anyone else knows any diff… we should expect something anytime after wednesday..

  15. muzt says:

    do you think, they can manage to jailbreak iphone 4 os 4.0.2? Im so bored… :(

    • John says:

      us 4.0.2ers just have to wait..

    • Irate says:

      Same question here too…when is the jailbreak for us koming out?

    • muzt says:

      some of internet sites (like iphone.unlock.no) says they can manage to jailbreak os4.0.2 for iphone 4. do we trust them? are they real or fool us? do you know anything about it?

      • CBtech says:

        guys.. there is no jail break for 4.0.2.
        You have to wait for version 4.1 (releasing today 8th Sep)
        upgrade and then jail break. (jail break should be available soon)
        the devteam as they say does not want to get into a battle with apple for every version that they update.

  16. Mostafa Karimi says:

    I will receive my new Iphone 4 in three weeks from usa, as i asked my cousin (he bought it from apple store on 31.8 ), he said that it is locked.

    now my inquiries are: 1- how to know which ios version it has ?.
    2- can i jailbreak and unlock it without sim card?.
    any help

    • CBtech says:

      1) most probable 4.0.2.
      go to your setting tab, general, about.

      2) read above.

      • Mostafa Karimi says:

        Dear CBtech, thanks for response.
        i didn`t find the second part of my inquiry.
        is a sim card required during the jailbreaking and unlocking process, or it can be connected to the wifi without it?.

      • Mostafa Karimi says:

        please anyone who have experience respond me.

        is a sim card required during the jailbreaking and unlocking process of 4G, or can be connected to the wifi without it?.

        if not, can any active sim card out of usa do that?.

        thanks

    • muzt says:

      dev team said do not upgrade it to 4.1 it is a trap. so i hope new jailbreak for ios 4.1 will work for you… really icant get the point also. they say do not upgrade it to 4.1 and then they announced that jailbreak for ios4.1 is coming… :)

        Please help me. I have been waiting for the past 2 months and using my brick just for music. :(

  38. Cory Derusha says:

    Actually iMessage automatically detects iOS 5 users and there is not any option to switch between Text Message and iMessage. You can see send button in blue color and a text “iMessage” on left side of send button when a message is to be sent to a iOS 5 user. That is how you can recognize a iMessage.

You realize thus considerably relating to this subject, made me personally consider it from so many varied angles. Its like women and men aren’t fascinated unless it’s one thing to do with Lady gaga! Your own stuffs nice. Always maintain it up!
