We all are eagerly waiting for the untethered iOS 5 jailbreak, and after the initial announcement by pod2g, some very good news is coming from his end as he confirmed tested, working untethered jailbreak on Apple iPad 1 and iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.01. This basically means that his untethered jailbreak exploit is successful and after proper testing all pod2g needs to do is to package his code and release it, users can definitely expect this as an Christmas gift soon from pod2g soon.

We shared an step-by-step guide on how to perform the tethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 yesterday, and now some good news is coming from iOS developer "@pod2g" as he demonstrated the much-awaited, first-ever "untethered jailbreak for iOS 5" (untethered jailbreak allows users to reboot their devices without connecting to a desktop computer) publicly on video.

The recently uploaded video by pod2g shows an jailbroken iPod Touch 3G running iOS 5.0, with an untether exploit in iOS 5. According to pod2g the exploit found by him is an "userland exploit", meaning we could soon see an easy-to-use browser based jailbreak. pod2g will now try to jailbreak 5.0.1 and then start working on the iPhone 4, iPad 1, iPod Touch 4G, iPad 2 and iPhone 4S untethered jailbreak.

Much awaited Spirit jailbreak from Comex is out now and can be downloaded right now for Windows and Mac, the untethered jailbreak for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch works on the latest firmwares 3.1.2, 3.1.3, or 3.2.

iPhone Dev Team has now officially confirmed and demonstrated that Comex userland jailbreak "Spirit" also works on Apple iPad 3G and might get released soon.

As expected and blogged about few days ago userland jailbreak "Spirit" is now successfully ported to Apple iPad courtesy of iPhone Dev Team member MuscleNerd, within a day of sale the iPad OS 3.2 is been exploited allowing jail-breakers to get access to the root of the system, the hack which is a variation of "Spirit jailbreak" recently used to successfully exploit iPhone OS 3.1.3 is expected to use the same browser-based exploit allowing users to jailbreak their iDevices without any complicated process right from their mobile Safari web-browser.

In an video MuscleNerd demonstrated his very early work on porting the "Spirit" jailbreak to Apple iPad which allowed him to login into iPad as root, quite some works is still needed to have an full-functional, consumer-grade jailbreak from this point but it's now only a matter of time and effort as hackers have now access to the inner workings of the OS via this exploit.

In earlier iPhone 1.x days getting your iPhone jail-broken was damn easy and all you need to do was to point your safari web-browser to the jailbreaking page and you could enjoy an instant jailbreak, this type of jailbreak known as a "Userland Jailbreak" seems to be eminent for iPhone OS 3.1.3 as demonstrated by a new video released by user Comex as proof.

The new jailbreak will work on all iPod Touch and iPhone models (iPod Touch 1G, 2G, 3G and iPhone 1G, 2G, 3G, 3GS) untethered on iPhone firmware 3.1.3, since this jailbreak seems to work good on newer bootrom this could be the iPad Jail-breaking utility eager users are waiting for.
