Although the following may sound disheartening for those yearning for the 2G JB, it does make sense and should be respected:

Documentation does not equal progress

This was the title of the latest post by the Chronic Dev Blog. It is there to address two issues. The issue of complainers, AKA all the people pissed off at the iPhone Dev Team. They have done a wonderful job on the 3G iPhone, for which they should be praised. It is too bad that they are not too enthused about the 2G JB but we have the Chronic Dev Blog. Now the owner of the site is making slow progress but he isn’t really getting paid and it is not his responsibility to pump out miraculous JBs everywhere. We should be thankful he has taken on the challenge and supportive of his efforts. The second thing this addresses is what his blog and posts are about. Well. . . it is in the title, documentation does not equal progress. He is just trying to keep everyone updated about his findings and shouldn’t be judged negatively on his speed of progression. Just reminding you to support all those in the JB community.

Happy Holidays

A new hope . . . for the 2G Jailbreak

Good news everyone. A new dev team has taken up the challenge and decided to jailbreak the 2G. The reason we are announcing this so late is because there was a lot of speculation going about whether or not it was a fake or not. We are pretty sure that it is legit.

They are called Chronic Dev and we are pumped for what they might have in store for us 2G owners. Here is their website:

Post Script: Just like the iPhone Dev Team, I believe they will not like being haggled about their progress so we are asking that you just be a bit patient.

Jailbreaking Fakes

I think we’ve all seen enough of these and I just wanted to warn you guys: Don’t fall for fakes!

Youtube.com is probably the biggest winner here. Don’t go searching there. They will have you download .exes with viruses and all sorts of crap. Some of them are almost funny:

But seriously, don’t search them in youtube or google because all you will find are fakes. Chronic Dev looks promising and that is who we are banking on at the moment. So what we are asking for is patience.
