Idea for A Different Type of "Semitether"

[dan448899]

Hey, everyone. Do you guys think it's possible to create a very small device that would attach to an iDevice and apply a tethered jailbreak by pushing a button? It would have some sort of uplink to be modified when new firmware comes out, and it would have a small battery source. Anyone think this is possible? It would be very useful for devices with bootrom exploits on firmwares without untethered jailbreaks.

You need iTunes installed on any computer/device you plug into your iDevice so that it recognised...

The driver and mobile assistant part of iTunes would be part of the devices.

Someone built one for a 3G iPhone when I first got into the jailbreaking scene. Can't remember where I saw it though.

Just looked it up. iDongle was used for 3.1.2. Hope they make a new one for iPhone 4!

iPhone4 has an untethered jailbreak, why would you need an iDongle?

The firmware will inevitably be upgraded and return it to a tethered jailbreak.
