Hey everyone. I've been trying to learn all I can about jailbreaking and how it works, and I'd just like some questions clarified by those who know more about it than I do.
1) What's the difference between a bootrom and userland exploit?
2) Why can't Apple patch bootrom exploits?
3) When your iDevice is jailbroken, what actually happens to allow it to run unauthorized code?
4) What makes an exploit tethered vs. untethered (not the definition, but what about tethered exploits makes them not work on reboot)?
5) How does Semi-tether work?
If anyone could answer any of these questions, it would be much appreciated. As I am not very familiar with highly technical jargon in this area, please try to explain in layman's terms as much as possible.
