Chronic Dev Team is busy developing the highly-anticipated iPad 2 jailbreak. posixninja today confirmed that the keys he tweeted few days back were of “iPad 2 jailbreak”. Will it be a SHAtter exploit or did they manage to discover new bootrom vulnerability as pointed out by Comex earlier? However, he did not mention who actually discovered the exploit, but confirmed that iPad 2 was exploited. I feel, it was p0sixninja or someone from his team who discovered a new vulnerability to jailbreak iPad 2 on new bootrom iBoot-838.3.




However, posixninja has already confirmed that he will be updating his greenpoison jailbreak tool to jailbreak iOS 4.3 very soon. As iOS 4.3.1 is about to be out in a week or two which will bring fix to A5 based iPad 2 jailbreak exploit, we think the team will only release it after iOS 4.3.1. We need to wait until official confirmation comes from posixninja.

Comex, who has already jailbroken his iPad 2 by userland exploit, is hard at work to package his exploit into a working jailbreak tool- JailbreakMe 3.0 for primetime usage. We will update you as we get more information on it.
