And you know this how? You're implying there can never be a jailbreak for newer ios devices, ever.

No, you are implying that I'm saying that. All weakness found so far that they are holding on are not untethered and I don't think this guy found anything that could be untethered, especially if its userland based.
 
One thing I don't understand: what invalidates a guy from releasing a jailbreak? Why everyone thinks it always goes through the dev team? Look at geo-hot, he didn't need anyone...

I also think it's fake, but until proof of contrary one has to at least take a look at it.

If he had anything, he would put up a legitimate proof of concept video.
We see this same exact garbage with every new firmware family Apple puts out.
The fake pictures, the fake videos, those who claim I will release it on this day or that day. Never once, I repeat, never once has one of these fakers released anything.
Geohot's situation was completely different, as were the cases of all the known current jailbreakers. When they knew they had a working solution, they either provided a legitimate proof of concept video or made a release.

This is all deja-vu to us.

Besides that, the release of the current jailbreak will most certainly be tied to the date Apple releases the 6.1 firmware update, not some arbitrary date on the calendar.

you dont necessarily have to be working with the "elite crew" to be able to do this, while unlikely because he would have at least discussed it with them.
he may be a guy working completely independently who has come up good.
 
This guy is posting his proof sometime this week. I'll pass judgement on whether it's real or not at that time. You can tell a lot about the authenticity based on the quality of the proof provided, IMO. We'll find out in a couple days.
 
Can't believe this is happening all over again and there are so many of you insane people believing it...

Last year a guy on Twitter said he had a untethered jailbreak and would release it on the 22nd. Many many people believed it. Guess what happened at the end? It was all a prank.

If you believe this guy will release a jailbreak then you are a big fool and deserve to be scammed. Stop being a fool.

I can't believe how stupid some people are... ugh

Exactly.

If you are a new group or individual, you need to put out proof or an actual release before you can be taken seriously.
 
What if this dream guy is actually someone who works for apple and the jailbreak works for like a week then it disables our phones completely .. just to show us that jb'ing is bad and we shouldn't ever do it.. :eek::eek:

Considering all the bad press Apple is already getting lately, the last thing they would need is the PR nightmare this would cause...
 
"Proof will be posted both here and on my Twitter account on Wednesday. As far as the video that will be uploaded, it will be a single-take shot of the entire jailbreak process, including a restart and usage of the device to prove it is untethered. It will be uploaded as raw video straight from my camera to YouTube. So no edits in any form. Thank you all for your patience and support. Also, with the extremely high volume of tweets and over 4500 emails, I will try to address the public as I can. I ask that you read the FAQ before contacting me by email. I will update the FAQ for you all tomorrow morning. I've also moved past website updates to the bottom of the page. Goodnight everyone!" - Dream JB (December 10). Really interested to see this. Anyone got any worries??
:apple: :D :eek:

EDIT: Would also like to point out that he says: "To further clarify this point, preparation of the phone for the jailbreak involves a Webkit exploit. This however will not jailbreak your phone by itself. After preparation, the included application will continue the jailbreak process.

Partially. This jailbreak is unique in the sense that it differs a bit from the other jailbreak solutions in the past. There will be a one-click phase of the jailbreak you will have to do, but there is preparation needed to prepare the phone for the jailbreak beforehand. Nonetheless, it is still very easy to do, and full instructions will be provided.

As this is a userland exploit, it will be patched quickly by Apple in future iOS versions." in the FAQ

All the skeptics can suck it afterwards.
 

Let's keep this discussion to Dream JB for now, thanks. Only because this one has way more buzz around it than the other fakes.

What's the harm in seeing the proof this guy has, geez. It's not likely at all that this random nobody was able to create a fully functioning jailbreak, but at the same time it's not impossible. Let's see what he comes up with on Wednesday. It's not hurting anybody.

I haven't even heard about this or seen other forums talk about it.

This guy has 10k twitter followers already, and:

So what's your common sense saying?

Because mine is saying be open minded.

Open minded is not believing every nutjob on the internet claiming he's releasing a JB.
Anyone can make up a twitter account trying to get attention.
My common sense says stick with the well known people that promise and deliver year after year.
If they say its fake I go with that.
But if you're buying it I got a bridge for sale:D

The people who deliver year after year have given up. They provide no updates nor respond to questions. They can suck it.
