iOS Security Flaw Lets You Bypass Passcode to View Camera Roll [Video]

Posted February 23, 2012 at 3:04pm by iClarified
A newly discovered iOS security flaw lets you easily bypass the iPhone 4's passcode to view the camera roll.

According to iPatch, simply popping out the back cover and disconnecting the battery for a moment will give you access to the camera roll upon reboot. You also need to make sure the SIM card isn't inserted so that phone doesn't set the correct time.

iPatch claims they haven't tried this with an iPhone 4S so its unclear if that device is affected as well.


Recently another bug was discovered by iPhoneIslam that lets you bypass the passcode for access to contacts and making calls.

Take a look at the video below...

Its funny how everyone come up with idea how to get through the passcode. If I were to ever find one I will back up restore it and jailbreak it. Who wants the damn shit what people had in their iPhone. I wouldn't buy their product if there is no jailbreak. Keep up the good work jailbreaker. I support you all the way
