We’ve some good news for jailbreakers. iH8sn0w, developer of popular jailbreak tools such as Sn0wbreeze, P0sixspwn has successfully jailbroken iOS 9 GM.
He has just uploaded a video on YouTube demonstrating iOS 9 jailbreak. The jailbreak is an untethered jailbreak, so you won’t lose the jailbreak when you reboot your device.
He has provided the following details about the security features in iOS 9:
Poking into iOS 9 is fun. A little annoyed at some new things. But very surprised at how similar it is to iOS 8 internally.
Worth noting, iOS 9+ arm64 iDevices now enforce a checksum on __TEXT/DATA.const regions of the kernel through the use of TrustZone. Modifying said sections will cause the device to panic (either at kernel or EL3 will force a reboot if the kernel refused to gracefully panic). Essentially, it’s KPP (Kernel Patch Protection). You can race it though if you want to play with things. Just be quick! ;P
Also, there should technically now be two additional partitions (baseband_data [s1s3] and logs [s1s4]) but didn’t really bother with those as they weren’t critical.While several jailbreak teams have been working on it, it is the first time a jailbreak for iOS 9 has been demoed.
Apple should ideally release iOS 9 with the same build number as iOS 9 Golden Master, so it will be possible to jailbreak the public release as well. It remains to be seen if iH8sn0w will release a jailbreak for iOS 9. But since iOS 9 can be jailbroken, it is also possible that Pangu and TaiG team can discover the exploits, and release a jailbreak for iOS 9.
So what do you think ?
