Today the Dev-Team have notified us that they won't be releasing an official jailbreak for iOS 4.0.2 on iPhone, iPod Touch or iOS 3.2.2 on iPad. Previously, JailbreakMe.com used an exploit in Safari. But, unfortunately Apple released the iOS 4.0.2 firmware to fix this exploit and now Jailbreakme.com is of no use to iDevices running the iOS 4.0.2 firmware.

Read on for full details on the issue.




Here is the official word from the Dev-Team:

No, there won’t be. FW 4.0.2/3.2.2 was *only* released to fix the jailbreakme hole. With FW 4.1 still in its beta stages, it makes no sense to escalate the “cat & mouse” with Apple for FW updates that only fix the jailbreak holes. To quote WOPR, “the only winning move is not to play”. If the cat & mouse game escalates too quickly, especially during beta FW periods, nobody but Apple benefits. For this reason, there won’t be a 4.0.2/3.2.2 jailbreak specifically during the period where 4.0.2/3.2.2 is the latest public release. At best, some future 4.1x FW jailbreak *may* be compatible with 4.0.2/3.2.2 (but don’t count on that).
 

Probably, Apple will release iOS 4.1 at the special event on September 1st,Wednesday .

However, if you own an iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G (non-MC version) you can use Redsn0w (v0.9.5b5-5) to jailbreak iOS 4.0.2.
