This doesn't sound great. Apps only run in restricted user mode? So does this mean that they haven't achieved root access? If that is the case then are we no longer going to have SSH access to the phone?

This makes more sense now. I wondered why the dev team would not release this because their reasoning made no sense to me. If Apple's devs know that there is a hole, Jobs will keep his foot on their throat until they find it. So just releasing the news that a jailbreak has been achieved would be enough detriment. I think that we may be looking at the end of the hackable iPhone. This is truly a sad day.

And the source for the news is who? who is he?

I'd highly doubt it, they need root to jailbreak, that's the whole deal with jailbreaking! to get out of usermode and into superuser mode.

Not so. Let me refer your attention to the other thread about "1.1.3 decryption key?" those guys are working towards JBing on their own and showing up the dev teams. Just ask "thecompkid" (who's has gotten emails from Steve jobs regarding upgrades, before) and his sidekicks "tinman" (ironman's little bro) and the rest of the guys in that thread........... there is still hope for us......

I know, I am one of those "dudes" working on it! stop trolling!

Recieved e-mails from steve jobs??? i find that hard to believe.... (although I got one in june saying that the iphone was released, and i think Steve wrote that one to me...haha)

anyways, it doesnt mean they didnt achieve root access, it just means that the apps run in some sort of limited environment (in line with what apple said last year about wanting to find a "secure" way of opening up the iphone without making it virus prone, etc)

Running in user mode... in fact, its running apps as root that is weird.... Were getting closer to a "real" UNIX usage.

Just ignore him... he's not adding much of anything...

As long as the jailbreak allows us to Unlock and Activate the iPhones I will be happy.
Sooner or later Apple was going to put a stop to all the FREE third-party support for the phone. ;-(

If this is true it is yet another cock-up by the dev team. Why they claimed to have a JB in the first place if they wanted to keep access with the SDK is beyond me, but not only does Apple know there's a hole, but now they have more details which could help them narrow down how the hack was achieved. At this point there is absolutely no point in keeping anything hidden, on the contrary a complete run down of the process should be released so others not on the dev team can maybe find a better way or offer suggestions, which cannot be done if it's secret.

I think we all need to realise with this info, even if in limited form, is enough for Apple to narrow its sites and figure out how it was done and patch it up.

Also, where the hell is the encryption key? Apple knows you have it since you've announced and extracted the secpack, so why not leak it like has been done with all previous firmwares? Also why not answer a few questions people have, such as is a new anysim in the works? Does IPSF survive? Will OTB 1.1.2 users have a SW unlock since you have the 1.1.3 secpack? Overall, issue a progress report. Including people and keeping them up to speed will encourage them to help, donate and obviously since anysim is now open source, how the hell can anyone work on it with secrecy around the 1.1.3 JB.

"1.1.3 JB runs in restricted mode" is (imo) pure bullshit. JB means full R/W access to system partition and if there would be only mobile user avilabe then whats the point of hoilding it back since with introduction of SDK runing custom code under mobile user will be trival...

they are holding it back for reason that this will be one of probably last "full JB" as we know them (hope im wrong tho!)...
