There Will Not Be a Jailbreak for iOS 4.0.2

| August 26, 2010 18:52 UTC | Comments: | source

The Dev-Team today announced that they will move focus from iOS 4.0.2 to the upcoming iOS 4.1. This means that you will not be able to jailbreak an iOS 4.0.2 running device, or at least the Dev-Team will not bring it.

So now, people will begin to ask: will there be a jailbreak for devices that shipped with 4.0.2/3.2.2, out of the box?

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”.
