MuscleNerd to change team and go to Apple?

musclenerd visits Apple tshirt

MuscleNerd, one of the main jailbreak developers and a prominent member of iPhone Dev Team @MuscleNerd has caused many rumors by visiting Apple in Cupertino, California. This seems to be a new trend among successful high tech companies worldwide as we have previously seen Facebook recruiting GeoHot and Comex joining Apple as an intern. Will this be the same with MuscleNerd? And can Apple and other big brands simply buyout best jailbreak developers and solve the headaches of jailbreaking with the power of  money? One thing is certain without such prolific hackers as  MuscleNerd, GeoHot and Comex, iPhone Dev Team and the whole jailbreaking community could become significantly crippled.

RedSn0w jailbreak to undergo a mayor upgrade

Dev Team is preparing a significant upgrade for RedSn0w jailbreaking tool. MuslceNerd who often speaks for iPhone Dev Team said that one of the new features will be that users  wont  need to manually select the iOS firmware file, another great feature will be the possibility to easily save the always important SHSH blobs with Cydia. New RedSn0w should be seeded  before next Monday.

RedSn0w will be able to automatically get the requested files from Apple’s servers, and even better, it will store necessary files on your computer so you wont need to download it every time you need them.  This doesn’t include iOS beta version as you will need to get them manually.

New Sn0wBreeze version released, Windows PC based jailbreak for iOS 5 beta 7 now possible!

Sn0wbreeze jailbreak logo

We already have a jailbreak for iOS 5 beta 7 which was pushed out by Apple only a couple of days ago, but if you need a carrier unlock you should stay away from RedSn0w. So to solve this  iH8sn0w has updated his own jailbreaking software Sn0wbreeze to version 2.8 beta 7 and it is an Windows only application. So if you are a Mac user this wont help you at all.  Sn0wbreeze is great because it can preserve you current baseband firmware, which is really important if you need to carrier unlock your device.  You can also hacktivate your iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS if you don’t have an officially supported Sim Card. After you jailbreak you can also use an Gevey Sim card interposer for the final unlocking or you can use UltraSn0w unlock solution.

iPhone Dev Team strikes again! This time they have launched the RedSnow jailbreak for latest beta version of iOS 5 which is version 6.0. It seems that Redsn0w is able to jailbreak all recent firmware upgrades from Apple, although all versions of iOS 5 jailbreak are only tethered,which could be one of the reasons Apple isn’t bothered too much about this.
