Hacker
George Hotz who is better known as Geohot in the iOS jailbreaking community is
back to work. His plans don’t mention iPhone iOS 8 jailbreak, sadly, but he is
going to create hacks for other gadgets. According to Geohot, he will work with
Android smartphones and has plans to root Galaxy S5.
Hacker
Geohot to Root Galaxy S5
Well-known
hacker George Hotz is going to work on hacks again, he is planning to release
Galaxy S5 root hack.
There are
not so many Galaxy S5 hacks as hacks and tweaks for the iDevices. It’s not
because of high Apple popularity. Users who have Galaxy devices should be glad
as Geohot is a good hacker. He is the person who stands behind Blacksn0w
jailbreak for the iOS smartphones and Blackra1n program for the same devices.
We haven’t
heard from Geohot for a long while. This whole time the scene was ruled by the
Evad3rs who created iOS 7 untethered jailbreak and iH8sn0w who released
p0sixspwn tool for untethered iOS 6 jailbreak. Geohot has decided to make a
pause with iOS development and pay attention to Nexus 5, Note 3 and Galaxy S5.
He might also work with other Android kernels using the “towel root” exploit he
discovered.
Geohot
Galaxy S5 root should be public. He is going to release to this June. This is
an interesting event as Samsung gadgets are hard to root. Note that you will
root your smartphone at your own risk. Once you root your Samsung gadget you
will be able to use different carriers SIMs however there will be no way back.
