JailbreakMe 3.0 Causes Problems With Camera Connection Kit, But Fix Is Incoming

By

By now, you’re likely one of the over million strong iDevice owners who jailbroke their iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches using Comex’s latest JailbreakMe V3 userland exploit. Because JailbreakMe exploits a security hold in iOS’s PDF rendering code, then allows you to patch that vulnerability with PDF Patcher 2, a jailbroken iDevice is ironically more secure right now than a device running stock iOS 4.3.3.

That’s not to say there weren’t problems though. If you jailbroke your device over the last few days and tried to use Apple’s Camera Connection Kit, you’d experience issues. But Comex is coming again to the rescue.

Comex announced on Twitter yesterday that he’ll release an update today in Cydia that will fix the issue with the Camera Connection Kit present in JailbreakMe v3.

The only problem? If you’ve got a jailbroken iPad 2, Comex doesn’t know how to fix the problem… yet Give him time, though. Give him time.
