From what I've seen the new update allows iPhone 4 users to legally port siri without copyright infringements. Then again that's just the surface who knows what else was patched.Quote:

It makes it legal to port but I think accessing Apples servers or hiding the device description so the servers think it's a 4S will still be illegal. I would think it would be a violation of licensing... wouldn't it? It also seems odd that Apple left the ram disks unencrypted... almost hoping they would do it so they could bust them somehow... just seems weird.
I was thinking the same thing. Apple is all about security and secrecy.Quote:

Waiting to hear whether this jailbreak works on A5 devices is killing me. If you were his friend wouldn't you shove your iPad 2 into his hand and say, "does this work?!" You'll be loved and respected by people worldwide until the next iDevices come out, but not a word.
Update: he says he's working on the iPhone 4S this weekend, so hope reigns supreme.
Pod2g has a 4S this weekend. He posted it on twitter, crossing my fingers as well.Quote:

OK, figured it out, the A5 cache is not a problem anymore.
I sorted it out by doing the untether in a single thread and by flushing all the dcache then all the icache in a row at a strategical point of the process.
It took me like a hundred of tests to find the key. Hard for the nerves.
For the tech guys, here is a link explaining issues related to self modifying code ( or code patching ) on the ARM platform : Caches and Self-Modifying Code - ARM Community....
Another news : I discussed with @saurik today about the launchd boot process, and he's found one missing piece of the puzzle I needed to have a perfectly stable jailbreak. He's definitly one of the best iOS gurus out there. Thank you saurik!

today wed 21 dec...
Hello,
Here is a new video demo of the current status of the 5.0.1 jailbreak running on an iPhone 4.
This is meant to reassure people that were thinking it only works on older iPods.
The jailbreak is near ready for prime time (excluding 4S and iPad 2).
Patches are the same as redsn0w's. Expect the same level of stability.
Some more days to wait. Be patient, we're doing our best.
