Official IOS6 Jailbreak Status Thread

[Gzoladz]

The big decision is what members currently jailbroken on 5.1.1 do when 6.1 goes public. If 6.1 patches the jailbreak exploits planetbeing, or others, are going to use for a jailbreak release we won't have any way to get to 6.0.1 when Apple close the signing window, and so could potentially miss out on the first ios6 jailbreak.
There is no easy answer to this conundrum
We can only hope for clear and precise information as soon as it happens.

Will members on jb 5.1.1 not be able to upgrade just to 6.0.1 given that the blobs are saved on Cydia, or that is not confirmed either?

I personally don't loose sleep over it, I am happy on 5.1.1 and ios6 doesn't have anything I am looking forward to have.

If the Apple signing window is closed for iOS 6.0.1, the chances are very high that no, those on iOS 5.1.1 can't jump up, even with the SHSH blobs. The way the APticket is signed changed with the advent of iOS 5.x, so it's no longer a matter of simply downgrading to the iOS for which you have SHSH blobs.

iPad2 owners might get lucky again as they did with the jail break for iOS 5.1.1 as their iPads had the "public 4.x firmware." This might make it possible.

But, for now, because we don't know which way the jail break will release, we must assume that if the window is closed - we will not be able to go up to that iOS, SHSH blobs or not. And, I believe the only people who may have a shot are those iPad2 owners ... but there is guarantee there, either.

So, I'd operate on the assumption that we've been using: There is no upgrading once the window is closed by Apple. Which brings us all right back to the conundrum as outlined by f4780y.

I don't plan on upgrading from 5.1.1 till I have to. I'm sure the people wanting a jailbreak are those with 6.0.1 though. In that case I assume the devs will know in advance when the update is coming (if it's jailbreakable or not) and let the community know whether they need to upgrade or not to jailbreak.

Let me quote to you from the very first post of this thread:

§- This post is regularly kept up to date. Factual news on the status of the IOS6 jailbreak will always be reflected in the first post as soon as we are aware of it! =§

So, please watch this thread for news - we WILL update it as soon as word has been received that there is a jail break. If there is no jail break, there will be no news.

Please, please, please - do not post a request for update in a status thread that specifically tells you that we will update the post as news becomes available. In other words - no news means no updates!

Thank you.

No I meant with all the signing of apple and stuff? What is that all about?

[Mickey330]

Have a look at this thread that explains SHSH blobs and the "signing" of the iOS by Apple: SHSH Blobs FAQ

And now, I must ask you to please stop taking this thread off topic. If you have questions about jail breaking, to include understanding the terms, please create another thread to ask those questions (if a search of the forum's posts does not answer your questions).

This thread is solely to provide people with the status of the jail break for iOS 6. Any further off-topic questions and discussion will be deleted.

Thank you.
