Verizon iPhone 4 iOS 4.2.7 Sn0wbreeze 2.6.1 Untethered Jailbreak Released

Posted: 01 May 2011 02:35 AM PDT

If you are one of the iPhone unfaithful with a Verizon iPhone running iOS 4.2.7 firmware and want to jailbreak your smartphone untethered you can now do so as the Sn0wbreeze 2.6.1untethered jailbreak is now available.

According to an article over on TiPb, ih8sn0w has announced the availability of the Sn0wbreeze 2.6.1 Verizon 4.2.7 untethered jailbreak via his Twitter account, which can be downloaded from ih8sn0w.com.

Here's what is said in the release notes…" I originally ordered a Verizon iPhone 4 for my upcoming SHSH blobs dumper. Then I + many others on twitter realized that an untether was not available for 4.2.7. Over the past few weeks, I've been sick and didn't do much, but today I was finally able to get the strength to work on this Verizon untether. Since i0n1c's payload is not easily reversible, I went to previous exploits. After trying, pod2g's + posixninja's kernel exploit for 4.2.x is STILL in 4.2.7! After some more work, I managed to get this thing untethered. So, this new release includes that new payload to untether + jailbreak 4.2.7."

So there you go, if your Verizon iPhone runs iOS 4.2.7 and you try out the Sn0Wbreeze 2.6.1 untethered jailbreak, feel free to let us know how it goes and if you experience any problems by posting to our comments area below.

Droid Charge Possible Release May 3rd

Posted: 01 May 2011 02:11 AM PDT

You are probably aware that the Samsung Droid Charge smartphone was delayed release earlier in the week due to the outage of the Verizon 4G LTE network, and there wasn't any mention as to just when the Droid Charge would come out to play.

However according to a report over on Ubergizmo, the guys over at Android Central are reporting the Android handset may possibly see release on Tuesday the 3rd of May judging from a Costco internal memo.

Apparently the screenshot of the Costco internal memo has the Samsung Droid Charge arriving on the Monday but with instructions to hold off selling the smartphone until the Tuesday, and a revised launch date will be sent out on Monday.

According to the screenshot, all Costco outlets will have stock of the Samsung Droid Charge by the end of play on Wednesday. However, the guys have also gained another screenshot and updated showing an expected arrival date of the Samsung Droid Charge on the 5th of May.

So with any luck those waiting to pick up the Samsung Droid Charge could well have one in their possession by the end of the week, anyone going to hit up Costco soon?
