Jailbreakme v2.0 was a great success that provided a nice leveling point for all jailbreakers and unlockers on all devices at firmware versions less than 4.0.2/3.2.2. All those of you who had Cydia capture your SHSH blobs, or those who captured them locally, will always be able to benefit from the jailbreakme.com v2.0 release. With the release of iOS 4.0.2/3.2.2, Apple has successfully closed the jailbreakme.com hole. They are now shipping devices with FW 4.0.2/3.2.2,  that is impenetrable to this particular jailbreak. Obviously, everyone is anxious to know whether there will be a jailbreak for devices that shipped with 4.0.2/3.2.2 ?

To clarify its position, The iPhone Dev-Team today has announced that it will not release a jailbreak for iOS 4.0.2/3.2.2. That means if you purchase a new iPhone 4, which is currently shipping with iOS 4.0.2, you may not be lucky enough to jailbreak your iPhone 4. They say that, it is a never ending cat and mouse game between Apple and the jailbreak community and for current iOS software, the Dev-Team are choosing to sit on the side line and for good reason.

No, there won’t be. FW 4.0.2/3.2.2 was only released to fix the jailbreakme hole. With FW 4.1 still in its beta stages, it makes no sense to escalate the “cat & mouse” with Apple for FW updates that only fix the jailbreak holes. To quote WOPR, “the only winning move is not to play”

Dev Team is of the view that if this cat & mouse game escalates too quickly, especially during beta FW periods, nobody but Apple benefits.  For this reason, there won’t go ahead with jailbreak for 4.0.2/3.2.2 especially during the period where 4.0.2/3.2.2 is the latest public release.  There is a possibility of a future 4.1x FW jailbreak which may be compatible with 4.0.2/3.2.2 , but should we count on that ?     [Via TiPb]
