Sherif Hashim has found a new exploitable crash in iPhone baseband which may lead to and unlock for iOS 4.2 and iOS 4.1 Baseband 05.14.02 and 02.10.04.
This is what Sherif Hashim tweeted:
hmm.., 95% of the tweets i get (at least the last 500) are either about 5.14 or 2.10 🙂
since nearly all my received tweets ask about both BB, I can report very early “initial” 1st step success on both sides, calmed down? 🙂
this won’t be feasible before the official 4.2 release at the earliest if everything went fine
Sherif Hashim is the same guy who found the exploit in Baseband 05.13.04 (iOS 4.0/4.0.1), and iPhone 4 baseband 01.59.00 which resulted in UltraSn0w 1.0-1 release.
MuscleNerd has also confirmed the iOS 4.2 unlock is a tweet saying:
There is an unlock on the horizon for both new jailbreakers and old, possibly not released until 4.2 though.
iOS 4.2 final is hitting masses in November as a universal firmware for all iOS based devices (iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch). So, a few more weeks to go and we’ll meet the iOS 4.2 unlock which will also unlock all older firmware baseband. GeoHot is also rumored to be working on LimeSn0w.
