Comex has just released JailbreakMe 3.0 and while you are all following our tutorial on how to jailbreak your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad using JailbreakMe 3.0, I am going to bring up an important issue. Whenever a new Userland Jailbreak is released is means a serious flaw in the iOS firmware has been uncovered. This serious flaw is how Comex was able to develop JailbreakMe 3.0 (as this is how the Jailbreak functions… through this flaw in the iOS firmware).
Potentially, however, as this flaw has now been discovered and broadcasted to the world, it means any individual could potentially install malicious software on your iDevice the same way your iDevice was able to be Jailbroken by visiting JailbreakMe.com. While it will only be a matter of time before Apple releases iOS 4.3.4 to patch this flaw discovered by Comex. Comex has developed a Cydia package called PDF Patcher 2 that will patch this flaw in the iOS firmware for good.
Meaning that the flaw will no longer be present, you can still enjoy your Jailbreak and you will be as secure as ever. A great example of how Jailbreaking your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad can actually make it more secure.
So I urge all of you to launch Cydia right now and install PDF Patcher 2.
Note: This flaw is present on all iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad’s running any firmware version regardless of whether you Jailbroke with JailbreakMe 3.0 or not.
Let us know if you have any questions in the comments section.
Hi Jaden,
I’m new to the Jailbreak community and your site has been a very valuable resource to me, so thank you.
I was looking for the PDF patcher 2 but was unable to find it in Cydia, might I not have the correct Repo installed to find it?

Same here vita not in Cydia, I have the Big Boss repo installed. I updated the changed section as well. It’s not in Cydia at all.
It’s on BigBoss, which is so slow right now it’s unusable. Wait a while and try again.
I as well have Bigboss installed and its not showing up for me…
So iffFor some reason I had to do a restore, and I had applied this patch, would that prevent me from using this jailbreak again?
Hey guys as Pepper pointed out the BigBoss repo was having some issues last night due to so many people using Cydia. It should be available now :)
