Revision as of 16:38, 30 January 2012
Corona is a Cydia package from the Chronic Dev Team on Saurik's repo. It uses pod2g's Racoon String Format Overflow Exploit and an HFS Heap Overflow to untether iOS 5.0.1 on previously-jailbroken devices. Alternatively, users can also re-run the iPhone Dev Team's redsn0w 0.9.10 to untether their jailbreak with the same exploit. The name is an anagram of the aforementioned racoon software.
A5 Jailbreak
- Main article: Absinthe
According to pod2g's blog, he was having problems with the app sandboxing system used on the A5 processor in the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S, so he got planetbeing, MuscleNerd, Joshua Hill and saurik, dubbed the "dream team", to help to fix it[1][2]. Dustin Howett also demoed the A5 jailbreak on YouTube. It was released on January 20, 2012 as Absinthe.
Changelog
- 1.0-5 was updated by Saurik again to require a reboot after installing.
- 1.0-4 includes sandbox patches by comex that fixes iBooks problems, as well as another fix for launchctl.[3]
- 1.0-3 was updated by Saurik to enable redsn0w 0.9.10 users to update the jailbreak through Cydia.

- 1.0-1 is the initial release of the jailbreak.
