As most of you know, there was quite a buzz lately, around a new tool called Thunderst0rm, that was suppose to run an untethered jailbreak for firmware 3.1.3 . We had a discussion about it on Facebook and many of you asked me on Twitter about all the YouTube videos, but we didn’t write about the tool. Why? There was a reason why we didn’t mention the tool on the site: because it is fake.
So, to break it down:
FSM EXCLUSIVE DEAL There are two tools that you need to avoid: Thunderst0rm and TurboSn0w2. They will not jailbreak your iDevices, might install spyware, and will delete several files from iTunes meaning you would possibly have to reinstall iTunes after running them. Stay away…
As BigBoss says, there are currently 2 known working exploits on 3.1.3/3.2 (iPad). One will be released from Comex called “Spirit” and the other by Geohot which will probably be one of his “Ra1n” apps. The two folks above are working together and will make sure that both are not released for the same device firmware. That means the next two major apple releases should be able to be jailbroken without looking for additional exploits.
If hear about a new tool, and it is not mentioned on DevTeam’s blog, GeoHot’s blog, BigBoss, FSM ( yeah, we had to be here, right? ) assume that it is fake, and don’t even pay any attention to it.
Stay safe…
