No iPad 2 Jailbreak Launched Today; No Clarification on Alleged Leak Either

JailbreakMe 3.0 Not Yet Unveiled, As Previous Hints Alleged & Comex Isn’t Saying Anything About the iPad 2 Jailbreak] (u

It’s 6/17/11 and 6:17:11PM GMT is long gone. The bad news for all of those of you looking for an iPad 2 jailbreak solution is that that new tool, supposedly being worked on by comex has not been released today. JailbreakMe 3.0 is not yet available, although the JailbreakMe.com site still shows the same teaser image we’ve seen in the past few days.


Yesterday’s iPad 2 jailbreak story sparked some intense debate here at TFTS, but also on various other sites and forums. Some said that the image was fake while others decided to trust it and hope for the best. The general consensus though appeared to have been that the iPad 2 jailbreak is coming soon, even if it wasn’t going to be introduced today.

While the evidence suggests the image is fake, since the iPad 2 jailbreak tool has not been released today, we’re yet to be certain that the image doesn’t belong to comex. We reached comex on Twitter for further comment but he has not responded to our question. Nothing wrong with that since he receives a ton of messages from his over 100k followers. What’s strange is that he hasn’t tweeted anything today (or yesterday) considering that he’s using twitter on a regular basis.

His last message, which we featured in yesterday’s post too, basically said that the iPad 2 jailbreak is coming soon. Nothing after that. So why did he stop tweeting all of a sudden? Can it be plausible that he could have tweeted the image we showed you today and then removed it almost immediately? On the other hand, with so many Twitter followers, which is also something our readers pointed out, more people should have noticed the update in their Twitter feed even if it got deleted almost immediately. But what some people fail to realize is that when using Twitter one never knows that the image he just discovered will disappear in the following seconds or minutes, therefore not everyone is ready to take a screenshot or save it for later, just in case that tweet disappears. So, again, comex could have tweeted that image, and then he could have had to remove it as something clearly happened. But what about the folks out there that receive Twitter updates via SMS? They would have gotten the text even if the image would have been immediately deleted, wouldn’t they?

Still that doesn’t explain what made comex stop interacting with his followers on Twitter for almost two days. Is he any closer to revealing that illusory iPad 2 jailbreak tool? These are just some of the questions we’re still looking to answer for you guys, so stick around, either via Facebook, Twitter, or the feed!

Update: It seems that Comex has resumed tweeting and he has confirmed the image was not posted by him:

And no, I did not post a picture with a specific release date. Rather, I got really distracted by this scroller business, sorry :p

We’ll keep you updated on the iPad 2 jailbreak progress as we get more details about it.

      Where I live it still not 6:00 pm

    2. Chris Smith says:

      It doesn’t matter, that was GMT time.

    3. Sam says:

      Well, it doesn’t really matter since its not going to be released today at all. But really he hasn’t tweeted for nearly 2 days, so that’s strange maybe he might come with a big updated on the jailbreak ? Maybe that could be why hes silent he could just be giving the last tweaks .. maybe not . Maybe hes just trying hard cos he cant get there quiet. But its more likely to be the first guess since he wouldn’t tweet the “Almost Ready” if he wouldn’t have got anything so stay tuned cos i think we have a jailbreak coming our way soon.. u never know.

    4. no-one says:

      he just tweeted talking about starcraft :( we want the ipad 2 jailbreak :(

    5. Sam says:

      But Comex just tweeted “comex comex
      Was playing the trial of Starcraft II with my brother. The problem is that $120 for two copies is really an unreasonable price.” Well this is out of the point?

    6. Sam says:

      Well you got the official answer to this comex didn’t post that picture but he did say in his tweet “And no, I did not post a picture with a specific release date. Rather, I got really distracted by this scroller business, sorry :p” no specific release date but is there any other pic…

    7. Tr3yb14 says:

      I asked him what was up check his response to me

      @Comex also could you please let us know if that pic you supposedly posted yesterday was legitimate or fake so we don’t hold onto false hope

      comex comex
      And no, I did not post a picture with a specific release date. Rather, I got really distracted by this scroller business, sorry :p

    9. Chris Smith says:

      Thanks guys for all your updates. Indeed Comex has started tweeting today and cleared the air about yesterday’s image. Post updated too.

    10. EP says:

      People, get a life top talking about comex like you’re a teenage girl with a crush. The JB will be out when it’s out and I’m sure we will all hear about it

    11. Phicks101 says:

      It’s obvious that comex just likes the attention about the jailbreak . And he also knows after it’s released people don’t give a shit about comex. He is a master of buzz. Think about it wouldn’t you want everyone talking about a possible jailbreak that only you can release! I can not believe someone else hasn’t just released one yet. This whole build up is a joke. It’s sad you let this fucking guy lead everyone by one stupid tweet. Comex gets off on the cause and effect response from everyone. He has been doing this since march. God dam. It’s June now. Jailbreak or not move on. The whole jailbreak is fucking simple and comex knows it. ” oh that wasn’t me that posted that tweet” now I’ll tweet about something completely off the wall like witchcraft. The Internet has hit a new fucking low with this guy. Seriously, he is the only one working on a untethered jailbreak.

    12. Sgtstadanko says:

      The jailbreakme.com page briefly reverted to the slider screen where you apply the jailbreak around 5 cst but it was the old one. So maybe something is up?

    13. Tr3yb14 says:

      it may be out by Wednesday guys here are some tweets I found

      SoullyWow SoullyWow
      @comex Dude, i swear i will buy you a Limited Edtion Starcraft 2 key, but finish the JB for ipad2 before my flight on wed :p thx

      comex comex
      @SoullyWow every time I promise something like that I break it and feel bad about it – but hopefully

    14. Jhon says:

      Still thinking the jailbreak have something to do with apple.anything else pure lies
      ,they are in control.

    15. Jhon says:

      When the sales go down you will have a jailbreak.

    16. Jhon says:

      Waiting for iOS 5 is a nonsense.let’s wait for iOS 9 to release a jailbreak!

    17. Thanks for the heads up, Tr3yb14 – appreciated.

    18. John says:

      Anyone can tell me for what is that teaser on jailbreakme.com?
      To get people attention?
      Just for fun?
      I’m telling you:
      Is for nothing!
      Make fun of suckers!

    19. Uncouth says:

      Lol “everytime i promise something I break it and feel bad about it” *HIDDEN CUE* in another meaning it’s coming presently.speculate it around this week or so.

    20. matchu says:
