Rocky Racoon Untether Updated to Support iPad 2,4

The Chronic Dev-Team has released an update to the Rocky Racoon Untether package that supports the new iPad 2,4.

This package will allow your 5.1.1 device to reboot without requiring an external tool such as redsn0w.

As there are now two versions of iOS both called "5.1.1" for iPhone 4 GSM, 1.0-2 was released to support both.

Apple released a new iPad 2 WiFi, a unique piece of hardware that was difficult to find, now support in 1.0-3

You can install the Rocky Racoon 5.1.1 Untether package from Cydia to untether a device previously jailbroken with RedSn0w instead of using Absinthe.

Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1 Has Been Released!

Absinthe 2.0 has been released to perform an untethered jailbreak of iOS 5.1.1. The utility is available thanks to the efforts of pod2g, planetbeing, p0sixninja, pimseks, and others.

Dream Team Explains How Corona Jailbreak Worked

The 'dream team' of iOS hackers explains how the Corona jailbreak worked at HITBSecConf.

-
GreenPois0n Absinthe was built upon @pod2g's Corona untether jailbreak to create the first public jailbreak for the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 on for the 5.0.1 firmware. In this paper, we present a chain of multiple exploits to accomplish sandbox breakout, kernel unsigned code injection and execution that result in a fully-featured and untethered jailbreak.

Corona is an acronym for "racoon", which is the primary victim for this attack. A format string vulnerability was located in racoon's error handling routines, allowing the researchers to write arbitrary data to racoon's stack, one byte at a time, if they can control racoon's configuration file. Using this technique researchers were able to build a ROP payload on racoon's stack to mount a rogue HFS volume that injects code at the kernel level and patch its code-signing routines.

The original Corona untether exploit made use of the LimeRa1n bootrom exploit as an injection vector, to allow developers to disable ASLR and sandboxing, and call racoon with a custom configuration script. This however left it unusable for newer A5 devices like the iPad2 and iPhone 4S, which weren't exploitable to LimeRa1n, so another injection vector was needed.

Quick Info Sheet for iOS 5.1.1 Untethered Jailbreak

MuscleNerd from the iPhone Dev-Team has posted some details on the upcoming untethered jailbreak from pod2g.

---
● All info below is tentative and subject to last minute refinements

● @pod2g's 5.1.1 jailbreak+untether is working out great. All devices are covered except for AppleTV3,1, which currently has no path for jailbreaking.
- the initial 5.1.1 plan used a kernel exploit from @westbaer which unfortunately precluded use in iPod3,1 and iPhone2,1
- @planetbeing stepped up and provided a kernel exploit that covers both of those. Those two JBers are the bomb!

● The 5.1.1 A5 JB is very similar to the A5 5.0.1 JB. @pimskeks has done a tremendous job supporting both 5.0.1 and 5.1.1 in absinthe

● Similar to 5.0.1, there will also be a 5.1.1 CLI "cinject" binary and redsn0w version of the 5.1.1 JB+untether. Absinthe, cinject, and redsn0w will all provide the same JB in different fashions.
- timing is indeterminate. Plans are for this week, but a number of factors can influence that.

● For those wishing to donate, we've set up a new 5.1.1 paypal URL: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=4U6DQGJ2NRVUN

● Please don't pirate AppStore apps (seriously, please do not).

The jailbreak is set for release very shortly. You can check out the video below and follow Limerain on @limerain_com, Facebook page , or RSS to be notified of the jailbreak's release.

How to Downgrade Your iPhone 4S Using RedSn0w Mac

These are instructions on how to downgrade the firmware of your iPhone 4s using RedSn0w for Mac.

In order to continue you will need to have SHSH Blobs saved for the lower firmware version you are downgrading to. You can use RedSn0w or TinyUmbrella to save your SHSH blobs. Also make sure you have performed a backup of your device using iTunes.

You may want to do this to downgrade from iOS 5.1.x to iOS 5.0.1 for jailbreak.

Step One
Create a folder called Pwnage on your desktop and download the following items into the folder.
- The latest version of RedSn0w
- The current iOS firmware (iOS 5.1.1)
- The older firmware you want to downgrade to (iOS 5.0.1)

Double click the RedSn0w archive to extract it.

Step Two
Launch the RedSn0w application from the extracted RedSn0w folder.

Step Three
Select Extras from the main menu.

Step Four
Choose Even More from the extras menu.

Step Five
Select Restore from the even more menu.

Step Six
Click the IPSW button.

Step Seven
Navigate to the Pwnage folder on your desktop and choose the firmware ipsw you would like to restore to and click Open.

Step Eight
You will be informed that an additional IPSW is required. Make note of the ipsw file requested and click the OK button.

Step Nine
Select the additional ipsw specified in the previous step and click the Open button. (This will likely be the most current firmware ipsw).

Step Ten
You will be warned that if you continue your baseband will be updated to the latest version. If you want the best chances of unlocking your phone in the future you should not continue. If you do not care about an unlock click the YES button.

Step Eleven
You will now be informed that your device will be placed into recovery mode. Click the OK button.

Step Twelve
You must now select your blobs for restore. You can choose to specify local blobs or remote blobs.

REMOTE BLOBS
- Choose this option if you previously saved your blobs with RedSn0w and they were stored on the Cydia server. This is the easiest option if it's available to you.

LOCAL BLOBS
- Choose this option if you previously saved your blobs with TinyUmbrella or you used RedSn0w but did not let Cydia save a copy of your blobs.
- After clicking Local you will be prompted to select your saved blob file for the firmware you are downgrading to. If you used TinyUmbrella, simply press COMMAND+SHIFT+G, input ~/.shsh, and clickGo to navigate to the folder with your saved SHSH blobs. Select the file that matches the ECID displayed in RedSn0w and the firmware version you are downgrading to, then click Open.

Step Twelve
RedSn0w will now stitch your blobs to the firmware ipsw and automatically begin a restore to the modified firmware.

Step Thirteen
You will be informed that your restore has been successful! If you were downgrading to jailbreak you can find jailbreak instructions here.
