The Dingleberry PlayBook root team has been pretty quiet for the last few months slowly improving their tool. Now NerdBerry noticed that the Dingleberry team has posted the change log for their upcoming v4.0 release that promises quite a few treats. They claim that their upcoming release will be able to “root on any future firmware including 2.0.0.7111 and 2.0.0.7971” which is very interesting.
Also included in the v4.0 development change log:
- Improved USB Host script to cater for when USB folder is already created.
- Improved unified login to cope with when BDM has spammed.
- Allows root on any future firmware including 2.0.0.7111 and 2.0.0.7971.
- Allows loading of custom firmware and true permanent modification of /base.
Keep an eye out for www.dingleberry.it for the update or check out the change log for yourself here.

It’s great for hackers ,but it’s such bad news for RIM at the same time…

I believe it is good for everyone including RIM. If this amazing piece of hardware is opened to its true potential it could truly take on the iPad. If those who want to can easily jailbreak and modify the playbook it becomes a lot more attractive to many of us. If rim would open up its next-generation playbook and stop trying to control every aspect of its use they could be on top of the world once again. That’s my humble opinion.

I totally agree. RIM’s problem is that they are putting their marvellous OS in jail by trying to controll everything.

The dingleberry team have just cancelled the version 4.0 project, but they put the source code available for download.
And anyway rooting is always good on a way or another for an OS, it allows great improvements that RIM maybe would have never thinked about.
