Tethered iOS 4.3.1 jailbreak now available

Apple released the latest version of its mobile operating system last Friday and within 24 hours, a tethered jailbreak method became available to the public. This should hardly be unexpected, as the Dev Team had said it would wait for iOS 4.3.1 before releasing a jailbreak solution for iOS 4.3 in order to avoid having Apple fix the latest security hole the Dev Team planned to exploit. A “tethered” jailbreak affords users the same ability to customize iOS as the standard jailbreak, but it requires that the device be tethered to a computer in order to boot. An untethered jailbreak is not advisable for most users and the wait for an untethered solution won’t be long, so we definitely recommend waiting a few days before jailbreaking your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Sit tight — we all know how fast the Dev Team works.

    Even Rooting sounds better than Jailbreaking. Really, can Apple do anything right???

      Rooting is a retarded way of saying it

        No sir, Rooting is stylish and elegant, whereas jailbreaking is sloppy and plain ugly, like everything Apple!

        Coming from an Apple Fanboy, that’s a compliment. So thanks!

    So if you jailbreak with tethering… Can ATT tell that I’m cheating the system and they’ll ding me?

      That’s a different kind of tether. This tether means that if you reboot your phone it has to be hooked to the computer. The tether you are thinking of is using your phone to connect your laptop to the internet.

    Dang. Remember the good ol’ days when Geohot would relaese untethered jailbreaks left and right like it was nothing. Ever since he left the JB scene things have been slow!! I’m just saying is all. I’m still grateful that all the JB hackers are doing there thing!! Just speed it up a bit will ya!!

    How fast the Dev steam works? I believe there was never an untethered jailbreak for 4.2.

    • Tbare

      I’m untethered on 4.2.1… I’ll wait for 4.3.1 untethered before I upgrade.. Good work, all!

    Seriously? The fact that it takes them awhile to release it in the first place should reflect on two facts (1)how dificult the said task is, and (2)how worried the dev-team is about not breaking our devices. You nor anyone else has the right to make fun of how quickly they work. The fact that they’re doin this enourmous favour to the world of idevices for FREE completely sheds anyone of the right to critisize them in ANY WAY!!!!

    TAKE YOUR TIME DEV-TEAM!!!!!!!

    P.S. I am not a crazed fanboy. :)
