@planetbeing who is from Android port for iPhone fame and @chpwn actually managed to get root access to the iPhone 4 device using the code of @comex’s useland jailbreak method. This is totally amazing. @planetbeing posted the news to his Twitter account saying that he thinks that he is the first person that he knows to get a root shell and SSH on the iPhone 4. He also went on to say that he used @comex’s code because he doesn’t have an iPhone 4 yet.
After this, Musclenerd who is from the iPhone Dev Team also joined the discussion and he posted a picture of Cydia running on the high resolution screen of the iPhone 4. His Twitter post congratulated @comex for another userland and posted his picture of a hi-res Cydia via @planetbeing and @chpwn iPhone 4s.
The iOS 4.0.1 is said to be coming out this week and an update to Spirit userland jailbreak tool is to expected shortly after this firmware update has been released. This will jailbreak the iPhone 4 along with iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch and iPod touch 3G.
Even though the iPhone has been officially jailbroken there is no sign of a carrier unlock yet. This is because the iPhone 4 uses a baseband OS and this will require a complete rewrite for ultrasn0w unlocking tool to work on it.
The Dev Team and numerous others have been checking through the iPhone 4 and they have noticed that the baseband runs on a completely different OS than previous models. This means that an unlock for the iPhone 4 might not be out for quite some time. If you are an international user you will need to use the unlocked versions of the iPhone 4. US iPhone 4 users will have to wait until they can use the device on carriers other than AT&T.
