According to iDownloadBlog and several other blog posts, it is advisable that the iPhone jailbreakers give the new Siri port H1Siri a miss because it not only involves the running of illegal code but can also apparently break the iPhone.
The latest hack has come from the `CD-Dev Team’ of Chinese hackers who had reportedly planned only a small test run, but the code got leaked. As a result, the hack is quite different from the two hacks which emerged in October and November.
As per iDownloadBlog, it is the use of the iPhone 4S’ copyrighted binaries which are involved in the new port; and it is the use of illegal code that primarily makes the port work. Revealing that its own tests with H1Siri had failed, iDownloadBlog has advised the iPhone jailbreakers to skip the new hack.
Substantiating the iDownloadblog observation, prominent iPhone hacker @chpwn – that is, Grant Paul -, has pointed out that one of the other key reasons why iPhone jailbreakers should avoid installing the new H1Siri port on their iPhone 4 handsets is that the hack gives the creators of the software the accessibility to the users’ personal information.
As such, despite the fact that Apple’s Siri voice assistant for the iPhone 4S is deemed a `cool’ feature, some brave early adopters, who have shared their experience related to the installation of the H1Siri port, have reported problems galore — including random reboots, damage to camera, bricking of the handset, wrecking of Settings app, and the handset remaining stuck at the Apple logo!
