State of the Chronic

| May 23, 2011

When there isn’t one cohesive overall goal for a post, it is always difficult to figure out how to start it, hence this introduction. This post is going to serve as being a “state of the union” kind of post, covering a few different topics/questions that have been common inquiries. I have one request if you are going to choose to comment on this post, PLEASE read it in its entirety, I get very tired of repeating that!! Also, please do not trust ANY blogs giving you vague predictions or claiming to have “inside info” no matter how benevolent and innocuous they appear, they are still generally purveyors of snake oil.

There are a few different things I’m going to try to cover in this post, while being concise for the attention span impaired :)

  1. iPad 2 Jailbreak status (*gasp*)
  2. 4.3.x support in greenpois0n
  3. greenpois0n merchandise / store.

iPad 2

As I’m sure many people have heard, Josh (posixninja) has recently been quoted saying the iPad 2 jailbreak is coming in “weeks”, I know I have been very publicly abrasive and non-commital on giving any kind of timeframe or comment on this matter, but at the behest of Josh (in conjunction with his need for a swift kick to the ass for motivation) we’re ALL going to hold him to that!!! I’m not going to get into extensive detail about this, but what I will say one of the missing puzzle pieces may have reared its head and cast a glance in our direction… take from that what you will.

NOTE:  WE will hold him to that, please do NOT badger him with “is it done yet, when will it be ready?!?!, does it wear a slipcover from an elevator sandwich?”

4.3.x support in greenpois0n

In the past I have also said that 4.3.x support was on hold for greenpois0n to focus on iPad 2 jailbreak exclusively, our course has slightly changed (primary focus has never shifted from iPad 2 since it was released) it has now become possible to easily update and execute a workflow to enable RC6.2 (tentatively speaking… mmm #dirt) to be released “soon”…

greenpois0n merchandise / store front

Several people may have noticed I have been parading greenpois0n swag across my twitter/yfrog account for a while… (sorry about that!, just couldn’t keep it to myself…) We are still working out some important pieces of that puzzle. Several variables still need to be solved, i.e. what process we are going to use for the shirts; screen printing, heat press vinyl (not likely for large production… maybe limited edition / contest based stuff: stay tuned) There will be store front where some of the designs I have shown on my twitter/yfrog WILL be available. The ones that will probably be limited edition / presses will be the hoodies and the pois0ned white shirts, I will try to get a composite from Aaron next time I see him with what a green apple would look like, do not worry the red apple on the shirt is not set in stone!

Re: time frame, to be brutally honest this is the lowest on the priority totem pole (sorry something has to be) but we are still constantly working on it with remaining spare time, we’ll get this stuff to you as soon as we can!

going to top this post off with some pictures (they may be swapped, updated in the near future- check frequently!)

 

Thanks for reading.. there may be periodic edits/updates to this post in the near future, so be sure to check back periodically!! Let the rumors commence!!!!

    Too bad bile was banned from ipadforums.net :) Hope he will be posting his updates regulary here as well.

    Quick question: iPad2 was ordered on April 17th and received on 7th of May. What are the chances that it came with iOS v4.3?

  2. Stephane says:

    C tip top

  3. Knokkelmann says:

    Hey does the 4.2.1 jb for apple tv runs also with the firmware 4.2.2?

    Thx 4 answer

    • bile says:

      not until rc6.2, the current greenpois0n release is only capable of handling one firmware version per device.

  4. Pug says:

    Ya but with snowbreeze you gotta get the ipsw file and all that crap nit to mention restore in iTunes during the jailbreak which I dont feel comfortable doing

  5. adryel pabst says:

    dear chronic team, Brazil received ipad2, the jailbreak is release in june?

  6. Jeffrey Wallace says:

    Ok hi my name so I have an iPad 1 with 4.3.3 firmware. And the only program I trust to jailbreak it is green poison. But formsome reason. Can not friggin find a legit place that I can jailbreak my iPad with 4.3.3 firmware. And on this website the highest firmware is 4.2.1 and I don’t have that and I DO NOT WANT to down grade because

    1) I’ll need to get the firmware and I have no idea why but when dowlading the firmware on to a windows7 Dell laptop it doesn’t work.

    2) and I don’t want to lose ALLLL my apps and information on here.

    So please help me with my dileema.

    P.s i sincerely apologize if people have asked about the secenario Before.

    Thank you.

    • holymasteric says:

      1) jailbreak it with redsn0w… everyone knows that… and as for downloading the firmware, you can download anything with any computer… doesnt matter if its windows 7 or dell or not. you’re doing it wrong.

      2) you won’t lose any app and info, you can even back that up…

  7. I user says:

    Snowbreeze bricked my 4.2.8 Verizon phone patiently waiting for GP

  8. Josh says:

    Haha i just thought of doing jailbrake but on the same day i did it i was stupid enough to download the newest ios update 4.3.3 soo im waiting patiently :)

  9. Brando212 says:

    Just want to thank you guys at greenpois0n again

    you guys always come out with the most stable jailbreaks :)

  10. bat0nas says:

    bile, could you comment this message from Musclenerd?

    Also, consider the Cydia icon on the picture comex took of his smashed iPad2. Remember that comex didn’t buy an iPad2 when they first came out (he jailbroke chpwn’s remotely). (So put 2 and 2 together….)
    ——–

    Does that mean that they’re working on a jb for firmwares higher than 4,3?

    • Lakerfanalways says:

      That’s my theory too that they are indeed working on a jailbreak for 4.3.3 but won’t be releasing any info about it til AFTER IOS 5 is revealed on Monday..if they were not working on it, why would Musclenerd even say that, he was the one that brought it up, came out of no where..basically implying that Comex’s iPad 2 did NOT come with 4.3.if it did not come with 4.3 and they are able to jailbreak higher firmwares, then it will work with 4.3.3..I think they just don’t want to tip Apple off on their progress

  11. Pug says:

    U know maybe if we all left the poor guy alone he could focus more on putting he’s genius mind into what we all want, the new jailbreaks!!!! Rock out with ur cock out bile mad props

  12. Trey says:

    Just checking in again to say keep the great work we all really appreciate what you do for the Jailbreaking community can’t wait to finally set my iPad 2 free best of luck in your endeavors

    Thanks

  13. Gary says:

    Hi its me again so wont i be able to jailnreak it with my 4.3.2 (8H7)? Anyone who can help please reply

  14. bile says:

    before anyone asks, we are aware of a lowlife troglodyte masquerading around posing as posixninja (on twitter and probably on forums or something too) announcing release dates, he is a fake and a liar and is not associated with us in any way. we will NOT be making any advanced announcements on any exact release date/hour/time predictions.

  15. Steven says:

    Thats not so good to hear you give us no informaion about the release date. We are all waiting days, weeks for this moment. Can you please release it fast we cant waiting

    Tanks for your hard work

  16. Dizzy says:

    hi i had downloaded ur softwear nd did everything to the t and still after it does the jailbreak proccess it says jailbreak failed. i have ipod touch 2 gen 8 gig and its a 4.2.1. i dont understand what the problem is. i dont get anything. it goes to a black screen and wont power on unless i hold the power button and home button. ive tried about 5 times now and i have no idea what to do and all other softwear isnt working for me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee help me i cant find anyother sites right now any advice????

    • A$ht0n says:

      Hey. I had the same problem as you. If your on a Mac, open Finder and go to Applications>Utilities and look for ‘Terminal’. Open it and type the command “cd Desktop” without quotes and hit enter. Then type the command “open Greenpois0n.app/Contents/MacOS/greenpois0n” without quotes and hit enter. A second Terminal window will open and Greenpois0n will start. Just jailbreak it like normal. Worked for me. Hope it works for you ;)

      If your not on a Mac, I can’t help you. Sorry

    • A$ht0n says:

      Oh, and make sure you’re connected to the internet!

  17. Kevin Garcia says:

    I just want to say my thanks to you guys out there. I am waiting patiently for your ipad 2 jailbreak, so keep up the good work. :)

  18. Jessandbre407 says:

    I have the camera i pod touch and every time i try to jailbreak, it doesnt work!! please help:(

  19. jason says:

    will yal be comin out with the 4.2.2 apple tv anytime soon?

    • Sniper says:

      Update: It’s worth mentioning that limera1n is a bootrom exploit that Apple can’t patch on the iPod touch through firmware alone. The real test of the Dev Team’s wits will be an untethered jailbreak for the iPad 2.

      From above link

      And people are saying the time of jailbreaking is done??? Lol I think not

  20. FROZYO! says:

    Hopefully you guys release a 4.3.3 update BEFORE I DIE.

  21. Madison says:

    When is green poisen gonna come out with the jailbreak for ipod touch version 4.3.3.? cuz i was stupid and updated my ipod to 4.3.3. and i dont want to use any other suport. jest green poisen.

  22. bat0nas says:

    MuscleNerd tweeted that @comex is working on a JB as well. Soooo… a little competition (@p0sixninja vs. @comex) is taking place..

    My bets goes to Chronic team ;)

  23. carel fokker says:

    kut greenpoisOn door jullie is mijn iphone naar de klooten steletje zeikers

  24. Matt jaggr says:

    Yeah finally! Some news! So exited keep up the good work! I love Greenpois0n and… Wait is it okay if I already spray painted the Greenpois0n logo on my bedroom wall? :S

  25. Tony White says:

    Any idea how “soon” we will have a jailbreak for iPhone 4.3.x?…I’m literally pacing around waiting for it…days? Weeks?

  26. T says:

    Hey there,

    My iPad 2 is still on iOS 4.3.2. Will greenpois0n RC6.2 jailbreak this version or should I update to 4.3.3. I’m worried that when Apple lounches iOS 5 I won’t be able to install 4.3.3.

    Thanks.

    • OPK says:

      If you use TinyUmbrella now whilst on 4.3.2 it will pull the 4.3.3 and 5.0b1 SHSH’s and save them for you, you will then be ok to restore those firmwares at any time

  27. Wood says:

    Don’t want to use snowbreeze any update on some poison for 4.2.8??

  28. :$ says:

    Cent wait for the iPad 2 jailbreak thank you all for the hard work.

  29. karan says:

    ios 5 is here icloud is awesome

  30. Lakerfanalways says:

    Any updates on the 4.3.3 iPsd 2 jailbreak..my iPad hasn’t arrived yet but I am hoping and praying that once it does arrive something will be done so I Can jailbreak it!! Thank you Musclenerd and comex for everything that you do would just like a little tidbit of info as how things are going

    • holymasteric says:

      That has nothing to do with p0sixninja’s iPad 2 jailbreak because it will most likely only work for 4.3, which won’t depend on iOS 5 since it was already patched in 4.3.1

  31. bat0nas says:

    I don’t think it’s a great idea to thank muscle and comex here :) :):) You must have mixed the blogs. Right?:)

  32. doom says:

    Have become as boring does not have anything all that occurs if a lie is something sincere, why not be released or to experience the site without incurring any loss ?!

  33. Tom says:

    Hi all,

    Stupid question need answering please….ive just bought an iphone 4 white 16gb with 4.3.3 installed. What method can i use to jailbrake it? Is it possible for me to install a jailbraked version of 4.2.1 of greenpoison? or do i have to wait for the 4.3.3 jailbrake?

  34. Michelle says:

    It’s great to know you are working on 4.3.3 now! Hopefully it would be out reaaally “soon”. I’ve been avoiding the update waiting for greenpois0n, I don’t mind avoiding it for a while.

    Thank you, guys. You are amazing ;)

  35. eurominican says:

    ^ so its official then?

  36. Jeffrey wallace says:

    It’s been a friggin month and you can’t even tell us a release date on 4.3.3! Exactly how soon is “soon”

    • Jeffrey wallace says:

      Fxcking unbelievable

    • holymasteric says:

      1) It hasn’t been a month
      2) They don’t owe you anything
      3) redsn0w already exist to jailbreak
      4) if you can’t wait then gtfo
      5) gtfo

      • Jeffrey wallace says:

        Like for real, Like greenpoison is the only jailbreak that most people use, because redsnow just don’t work form them, or whatever the case may be. And for you guys to say that our jailbreak will be out “soon” giving us false hope, is straight up ridiculous, you guys owe us, your customers, a reliable source, and great service. And must people just as for a friggin release date but you can’t even give them that. Just tell us the truth flat out and simple. Are you guys working on 4.3.3, when will it be out, and if you’re not working on it then just say so!

        • bile says:

          so what gives you the impression that we OWE you ANYTHING? we can’t give a release date because one doesnt exist, not everything is concrete / cut and dry. im also a firm believer in the SECOND you give a release date (eventhough we really dont have one) it will inevitably be missed. The mac version will probably come before the windows version. (i should probably get that out of the way, lest i get accused of supplying false hope again) and its release should be pretty close. thats the best you are going to get. and with how belligerent you have been about what we “owe” you, you should be happy you got a response at all.

          • Jeffrey wallace says:

            Dude you didn’t even have to respond to my comment. And let’s get something straight, you can’t say you’ll have something soon and it’s not there, like if you KNEW it wasn’t going to be soon you shouldn’t have even spoken about it. And secondly the reason we ask for a release date is because it was said that it was going to be out “soon”. And now here we are a few weeks later and still no 4.3.3 jailbreak. I don’t know what your standard of “soon” is but I do know you need to fix it. And yes you do owe us what I listed above. For one the things I listed( Reliable source, great service), are simple. Don’t say you’re going to have something “soon” if you can’t provide it within two weeks. And you just flat out owe the customers , just for being customers point, blank, period. If it wasn’t for the customers there wouldn’t be a greenpoison.

        • Sniper says:

          Awe did I hurt it’s little feeling :(

        • Jeffrey wallace says:

          *sigh* this is pointless, just because we have two different opinions doesn’t mean we should go at each others throat. So I apologize for the things I said towards you, but I still hold strong to to everythingi stated above.

    • Affy says:

      4.3.3 is not a definate!

  37. Trey says:

    Guys go to jailbreakme.com on your ipad instead of seeing the usual your version is to new message it shows the pdf I think we may have a jailbreak soon!
