Can you jailbreak the new ipod touch?

I don't know why, but I can't find a clear answer to this...

not presently. 4.1 is no-go. they are probably waiting to waste the next jailbreak on 4.2 since it will encompass all devices. at least that is what i'd do.

So far no though hackers are definitely working on one. Or at very least they've found a vulnerability.

they have a JB for 4.1 but it makes no sense since all devices(ipad) will align to 4.2 in a month or two - save the JB for that. plus it's going to be tethered at this rate. you guys remember tethered jb's? Unless comex pulls something out of his arse.

I assume you're talking about SHAtter? Apparently it's an untethered bootrom exploit, so it's going to work on all all new bootrom iOS devices regardless of the OS version. They aren't waiting for 4.2, it just takes time to develop a bootrom jailbreak.

The early results are certainly promising, the iPhone Dev Team already has it up and running with the iPod Touch 4G and a very beta version of Pwnage Tool.

i thought it was tethered on most modern devices.

SHAtter isn't out yet. I'm not sure what jailbreak you'd be referring to that's tethered.

What do you guys mean tethered? Are you guys talking about the iPhone 4?

iphone 3gs(non-early),3gs (non-early),iphone 4,ipad, itouch - yes.

the old 3G and 3GS have flawed bootloaders which is why they will always remain untethered. but just wait and see man. have your device ready and don't update to the latest ios unless you have to. a JB can come and go (SHSH BLOBS) in less than a week. be ready.
