Here is a quick update on the upcoming Comex’s jailbreak for iPhone 4 and iOS 4 / 4.0.1. It was only yesterday when we informed you all that Comex in an interview said that he is “almost” done with the jailbreak and now he is waiting for Saurik (the creator of Cydia) to complete the last bits which are required for the jailbreak.

You will have to ask Saurik if he’s done with that bootstrap yet. Like I hate to say this because people will be complaining, but it is pretty close to done.

Today, in an image sent to us by one of our reader who wishes to remain anonymous, Saurik seems to be done with the “bootstrap” thing which Comex wanted from him for the jailbreak. This is what he wrote in a Direct Message to a user on Twitter:

I actually gave comex the bootstrap he needed last night. so I am no longer the bottleneck. (The concept of “bottleneck” is very transient.)

So there you go.. If I read that right, we are probably now closer to the release than ever before. It seems like the new jailbreak tool is now going through final release mechanics before it is released to public. Stay tuned, as we will provide you the download links , along with full how-to guides as soon as the new jailbreak is available.

Comex has released the source code to the Spirit jailbreak for other developers to take a look at.

This is painful. But. *sigh* http://spiritjb.com/spirit-source-n-stuff.tar.bz2. (To preempt any questions: this is not a new jailbreak or anything useful to non-developers.)

When asked why he was releasing it comex replied, Because I promised to.

In regards to the new firmware releases by Apple comex says, 3.2.1 and 4.0.1 out. if you want an unlock, DO NOT UPDATE. No, the jailbreak is not ready yet.
