iphone4-geohot-jailbreak

Late last month, news of root access and an early userland jailbreak of the iPhone 4 hit Twitter courtesy of @chpawn, @plantebeing, and @musclenerd. A mere few weeks later and we have word of another successful jailbreak, this time coming from well-known iPhone hacker Geohot. Neither party has released their jailbreak tools to the public and Geohot is pretty clear that he does not want folks pestering him for a release date. So all you iPhone 4 owners waiting to free your handset from Apple’s walled garden must learn to be patient and keep your mouth shut, capeche?

    how dare you vote down the post of S.Jobs! I guess my apple clan must be really upset that I made a phone with so many problems. If it was’nt for the damn Google and there Android phones no one would have even noticed my products are crap!!

        i think all u folks that r complaining about the iphone unlocks and jailbreaks should be thankful u are able to use the phones on tmobile orwhatever service until maybe available unlocked in the good ole US of A{did i say that?} since u cant afford or dont want to pay for data plans.u may be a [loser},i mean user or maybe not.just let these people do their work.

      It is more like if it wasn’t for iPhone than Google and there Android phones wouldn’t exist. And so many problems? what a few software glitches? C’mon. What about the EVO the fricking screen falls off. Now that is pathetic.

      • MicroNix

        More like if it wasn’t for Palm, the iPhone wouldn’t exist foo!! This crap about smart phones not existing if it weren’t for the crapple iFail is bull.

        BTW, what is the inventor of cell phones using for his personal phone? DROID!

      • Rob

        you DO realize that Google bought Android back in 2005, about 2 years before the iPhone was even released.

  • Attila434AD

    The same guy that promised an untethered jailbreak on 3.1.2, like many many many months ago. Never delivered. Shouldn’t have to – it’s his choice, but how about getting all excited about something when it’s actually “available”.

    • Attila434AD

      talk is cheep. I can say too that I have Unlocked the iphone too.

  • Bada$$

    I am sure RoRo Doucher can tell us when we can have this hack!

  • Head Honcho

    Geohot has a gay name. Must have lots of guys that say Fanboi, or App contacting him for more than a jailbreak.

    • just sayin’

      his name is George Hotz. thats why he calls himself GeoHot….even tho i think its a gay name also lol

    • CMC

      Lucky him LOL

  • http://chaaps.com Chethan@TV Advertisements

    GeoHot is making all of us wait like Crazy!

  • http://talkbinary.com TalkBinary

    I’d be surprised to see if he keeps taunting people with these hacks. First the PS3 Other OS feature and now this? He’s becoming more and more known which probably isn’t that good now, is it?

  • jayrodathome

    Geohot. Is. Amazing.

  • http://alghienkad06.student.ipb.ac.id/ thea

    amaze bro

  • Lick it

    Apple sucks screw iPhone I wish I didn’t own one cuz everytime there always a problem apple throws at the iphone jailbreak and they won’t stop intil our phones are ruin so what should we do buy an htc so apple learns there lesson and for geo hot if u are done then well u shouldn’t be your to young and I’m pretty sure doing these hack u either get a donation or u should feel good that your name can be google so u would be dumb if u stop hacking

  • crazy

    he saids we demand we dont demand we ask or even some beg and some even donate but we just want our phone to work where we dont have to worrie about our phones dying and having to run a program again and again remember when one does good for people something comes back mabey money or a career or fame but if u want to quit then quit but dont expect anything good from quitting cuz i see that geo hot has an jailbroken iphone 4 that doesnt look like u quit but more like your showing off which makes u a little selfish so advise for those hackers like spirt keep up the good work ill make sure to donate for your hard work and please never be selfish cuz at the end your name turns from great to bad some advise geo hot u need redeem yourself so release some tools FOR ISO4 and everybody will be on your good again and if u quit just quit with a goodbye not like the way u did like im reacting to so much feed back remember there are haters but ignore them cuz not everyone hatting dont confuse hating with being sad or disappointed

  • Jon

    I honestly think geohot should charge for JB. Only then would these u grateful bitches have a right to complain about a service that they are getting for free.

    The audacity of people to disrespect a genius for providing a FREE jailbreak is unconscionable. Where would you idiots be with your iPhones with geohot? Geohot if you’re listening man just start charging for your jailbreak! I’d gladly pay whatever you charge for it. Keep up the good work man you’re a genius

  • http://twitter.com/joshWUa Josh aka MUKAI

    he did say it before back when purplera1n came out, patience is a must when it comes to only one hacker. I agree with jon, he should of just charged for the jailbreak since donations are mostly ignored.
