The 'dream team' of iPhone hackers has made more progress on the A5 jailbreak with planetbeing just announcing that they're out of Apple's sandbox.
And we're out of the sandbox with @saurik's invaluable help! (well, at least there's a PoC) :D Turning out more complex than X-Gold 618.
The X-Gold 618 is the baseband platform used in the iPhone 4 and iPad 2 (GSM). The Qualcomm MDM6610 is the baseband chip used in the iPhone 4S, for those wondering. As planetbeing notes, more work was needed to escape sandbox for this jailbreak than was needed to escape the iPhone 4 baseband's equivalent of a "sandbox".
Now that the team has been successful in breaking out of Apple's sandbox (which lets them run unsigned code) they'll focus their attention on writing the OS X and Windows software that interacts with the device.
As usual we'll keep you up to date with any progress reports that are released. You can follow use on Twitter, Facebook, RSS, and using the iClarified Menu Bar app.
Update
Pod2g congratulates planetbeing...
@planetbeing escaped from the sandbox with the help of @saurik. Thanks to their awesome work, there should be nothing left blocking for the A5 jailbreak. Now it should be a matter of days. Still no precise ETA of course.
