Jailbreak your iDevice with JailbreakMe.com [VID]

Last week we saw the release of Comex’s JailbreakMe.com. What made this jailbreak special was the fact that it was the first hack compatible with the iPad 2.

The Jailbreak is compatablie with the following devices:

iPad1: 4.3 through 4.3.3
iPad2: 4.3.3
iPhone3GS: 4.3 through 4.3.3
iPhone4: 4.3 through 4.3.3
iPhone4-CDMA: 4.2.6 through 4.2.8
iPod touch 3g: 4.3, 4.3.2, 4.3.3
iPod touch 4g: 4.3 through 4.3.3

Possibly the greatest appeal to this method, as opposed to another way of jailbreaking, is just how easy it is to use. JailbreakMe 3.0 takes advantage of a PDF hole in the iOS firmware. What this means is that, to download Cydia to your device, all you have to do is click a button on a web page.

So how do you jailbreak your device?

Go to www.jailbreakme.com on your iOS device
Click the free label under the Cydia icon (just like in the App Store)
Press the green install icon that is displayed
wait 15-30 seconds and you will have a jailbroken device.

It really is that simple and that is why I rate PDF exploit jailbreaks like these #1. It’s the easiest way for the end user to jailbreak their device. Sometimes messing with other jailbreak tools, like pwntool or redsn0w, gets too confusing for some users. Not to mention those types of methods often lead to iTunes error codes and other issues. Jailbreakme.com bypasses all of that by doing all the work right on the device, which is why it is so popular.

Reminder:

*Backup your devices before you do anything!*
