The Dingleberry jailbreak tool for the BlackBerry PlayBook has received another update and now sits at v3.3.2. The new update brings some minor tweaks and fixes along with a new script. Each version of the tool seems to get better and better as we go along, so hopefully they'll keep coming. Updates to v3.3.2 include:
- Fixed an issue with IP addresses
- Scripts are now monitored better (termination and echo output).
- Fixed a timing bug that affected some users (from DB 3.0 to 3.3.1) with bad USB latency. Thanks ledhed33.
- New Script: Toggle USB Host Mode
