In June 2014, Hotz published a root exploit software hack for Samsung Galaxy S5 devices used in the US market. In April 2011, it was revealed that Sony and Hotz had settled the lawsuit out of court, on the condition that Hotz would never again resume any hacking work on Sony products. PayPal granted Sony access to Geohot's PayPal account, and the judge of the case granted Sony permission to view the IP addresses of everyone who visited. Sony in turn has demanded that social media sites, including YouTube, hand over IP addresses of people who visited Geohot's social pages and videos, the latter being the case only for those who "watched the video and 'documents reproducing all records or usernames and IP addresses that have posted or published comments in response to the video". Hotz published his commentary on the case, including a song about the "disaster" of Sony.

In response to his continued publication of PS3 exploit information, Sony filed on January 11, 2011, for an application for a temporary restraining order ( TRO) against him in the US District Court of Northern California. These keys were later removed from his website as a result of legal action by Sony against fail0verflow and Hotz. On January 2, 2011, Hotz posted a copy of the private key of the PlayStation 3 on his website. This key was used by Sony to prevent piracy. On December 29, 2010, hacking group fail0verflow did a presentation at the 27th Chaos Communications Congress where they exposed a mistake of Sony in their usage of ECDSA signatures without publishing the corresponding private key. On July 13, 2010, Hotz posted a message on his Twitter account stating that he had abandoned his efforts.

On March 28, 2010, Sony responded by announcing their intention to release a PlayStation 3 firmware update that would remove the OtherOS feature from all models, a feature that was already absent on the newer Slim revisions of the machine. On January 26, 2010, Hotz released the exploit to the public. On January 22, 2010, he announced that he had performed his first achievement consisting of read and write access to the machine's system memory as well as hypervisor level access to the machine's CPU. In December 2009, Hotz announced his initial intentions to breach security on the PlayStation 3.
Nevertheless, he continued to release new software-based jailbreak techniques until October 2010. On July 13, 2010, Hotz announced the discontinuation of his jailbreaking activities, citing demotivation over the technology and the unwanted personal attention. It was compatible with all iPhone and iPod Touch devices running iOS 3.1.2. In October 2009, Hotz released blackra1n. He traded his second unlocked 8 GB iPhone to Terry Daidone, the founder of CertiCell, for a Nissan 350Z and three 8 GB iPhones. In August 2007, seventeen-year-old George Hotz became the first person reported to remove the SIM lock on an iPhone. Hotz also briefly attended Rochester Institute of Technology and Carnegie Mellon University. Hotz is an alumnus of the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth program. He attended the Academy for Engineering and Design Technology at the Bergen County Academies, a magnet public high school in Hackensack, New Jersey.
