These exploits are not dependent on any firmware; as such, they are used in numerous jailbreaking programs.
* [[Pwnage]] + [[Pwnage 2.0]] (together to jailbreak the [[N82AP|iPhone 3G]])
 
* [[ARM7 Go]] (from iOS 2.1.1) (for [[tethered jailbreak]] on [[N72AP|iPod touch 2G]])
 
* [[0x24000 Segment Overflow]] (for [[untethered jailbreak]] on [[N88AP|iPhone 3GS]] with [[Bootrom 359.3|old bootrom]] and [[N72AP|iPod touch 2G]] with [[Bootrom 240.4|old bootrom]]; another exploit as the [[limera1n Exploit]] is required)
 
* [[limera1n Exploit]] (for [[tethered jailbreak]] on [[N88AP|iPhone 3GS]], [[N18AP|iPod touch 3G]], [[K48AP|iPad]], [[iPhone 4]], [[N81AP|iPod touch 4G]] and [[K66AP|Apple TV 2G]])
 
* [[usb_control_msg(0xA1, 1) Exploit]] (also known as "steaks4uce") (for [[tethered jailbreak]] on [[N72AP|iPod touch 2G]])
