Jailbreak For OS 3.0.1

You guys hear about the text message security hole found in iPhones? If ya haven’t, in a nutshell, one person found a way to send SMS control (text) messages to iPhones that can either make them not respond for a short time, or take limited control of them. Don’t worry… it ain’t all that.

Basically, someone would have to rediscover this hole in iPhones (something unlikely for anyone to do), then know the phone number of someone who has an iPhone… then send them all these text messages… and for what, to bug someone who’s got an iPhone? Man, I ain’t worried about it myself… and not just because i can’t even receive text messages, but the odds of someone discovering this bug again, and then hitting you with it, the odds are about as good as you winnin’ the lottory.

But, there is a fit for it… Apple released a patch, OS 3.0.1, that plugs up the hole. And, here’s the best part… people who are jailbroken, like me (via Redsn0w), are able to upgrade to the OS 3.0.1 and then jailbreak with Redsn0w (using the same Redsn0w files). Basically, you’ll need to reinstall your OS and then rejailbreak.

But I ain’t doin’ it… ya know? I mean, this isn’t something you need to go out and do. I’m waiting on patches that fix things that effect things we actually do or use. You can if you want, but I’m not updating…

Peace, J
