Exploit

The jailbreak packs Corona for the S5L8940 and the rest of the firmware patches in a regular iTunes backup and then restores this backup on to the device, which injects the required files. It is then completed by opening a web clip added to the home screen by Absinthe that uses an exploit in Safari to install Cydia.

Main article: Corona


This jailbreak uses the Racoon String Format Overflow Exploit and HFS Heap Overflow from Corona for untether.
