Geohot Releases Limera1n, Jailbreak Most iOS Devices

Geohot has released Limera1n, his tool to jailbreak all i-devices on the latest Apple iOS 4.1 firmware. There has been a lot of drama with the release as Geohot stole comex’s untethered exploit and used it on his own tool. The dev team warns that the jailbreak may be unstable and could cause problems as the tool uses a beta version of comex’s untethered exploit. Use at your own risk, UNLOCKERS STAY AWAY or you could possibly lose your iphone unlock forever. Wait until the dev team releases their jailbreak tool.

Limera1n Details:
● Jailbreak iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G, iPad, iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G
● 3GS new bootrom is broken, fix pending
● 4.0-4.1 and beyond+++

The iOS 4.1 jailbreak codenamed Greenpois0n finally has an official release date. A picture is worth a thousand words and in this case thousands of answers also. For those who’ve been bugging the jailbreak teams you can officially get off your computers and enjoy life as the image above speaks for itself.

The release will come Sunday (10/10/10 @ 10:10:10 A.M. GMT) which is considered a FunDay for us jailbreakers.

Posixninja recently tweeted the release date of the iOS 4.1 jailbreak tool called Greenpois0n:

Things have progressed to the point where we don’t expect anymore roadblocks. ETA for greenpois0n is 10/10/10 at 10/10/10 10:10:10AM GMT.

Be rest assured TheSpot will be on it and have mirrors ready for download as soon as possible so we can all enjoy the jailbreak without server issues.

Jailbreakme v2.0 was a great success, and it’s provided a nice leveling point for all jailbreakers and unlockers on all devices at firmware versions less than 4.0.2/3.2.2.  We hope that everybody ever interested in jailbreaks or unlocks was able to join in on the jailbreakme bonanza.  Those of you who had Cydia capture your SHSH blobs, or those of you who captured them locally, will always be able to benefit from the jailbreakme.com v2.0 release. Congratulations!

Now it’s a few weeks later, and Apple has closed the jailbreakme.com hole.  They’re shipping devices with FW 4.0.2/3.2.2, impervious to this particular jailbreak.  So now, people will begin to ask: will there be a jailbreak for devices that shipped with 4.0.2/3.2.2, out of the box?

No, there won’t be.  FW 4.0.2/3.2.2 was *only* released to fix the jailbreakme hole.  With FW 4.1 still in its beta stages, it makes no sense to escalate the “cat & mouse” with Apple for FW updates that only fix the jailbreak holes. To quote WOPR, “the only winning move is not to play”.

If the cat & mouse game escalates too quickly, especially during beta FW periods, nobody but Apple benefits.  For this reason, there won’t be a 4.0.2/3.2.2 jailbreak specifically during the period where 4.0.2/3.2.2 is the latest public release.  At best, some future 4.1x FW jailbreak *may* be compatible with 4.0.2/3.2.2 (but don’t count on that).

If any of this is confusing, please ask below in our comments section!

P.S.: For those of you with iPhone3G or iPod Touch 2G(not MC version), it’s true you can always use redsn0w to jailbreak your 4.x devices.   Don’t let that dilute the above message, though

When the jailbreak came out for the iPhone 4 I was very excited. I was even more excited when a lot of my favorite jailbreak apps became available. Then I noticed Gowalla, an App Store app for check in to locations, had stopped working. When you opened the app it would just crash right away. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it just kept doing it. Eventually I found out it was a problem with having my iPhone jailbroken and specifically having Winterboard installed. Here’s a recent @reply from @gowalla:

@jkr801 Is your phone jailbroken? If you remove Winterboard, you should be set. The next update will likely include a workaround.

What’s good about this is there an update coming soon. Until then there’s a easy workaround. Just visit m.gowalla.com and then add it to your homescreen. It makes an icon and one of those sweet fullscreen web apps. Here’s some screenshots:

A quick shoutout and thanks to my buddy Justin shared with me about Gowalla’s mobile site. Just just recently switched to an iPhone 4 after a long time using BlackBerries. Congrats man! And thanks!

Now that we have the iphone 4 jailbreak along with it being an untethered jailbreak for all other i-devices it is very important for yout to save your shsh blobs. A lot of new people in the jailbreak scene don’t know what those are and its ok you don’t need to just save them. If your not jailbroken I recommend saving your shsh’s anyway so that if you ever want to jailbreak you can. This is urgent right now it is rumored a firmware update is coming today!

Your probably wondering what is all this shsh stuff. Basically whenever Apple releases a new firmware update for i-devices it doesn’t allow you to downgrade to old firmware versions. If you update to a new firmware and there is no jailbreak for it your stuck without, unless you have your shsh’s save. With your shsh’s saved you can downgrade to the old firmware version that is jailbreakable. Enough talk here is how to save shsh’s so get them whether your jailbroken or not:

• Visit http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com/
• On right hand side choose and download either windows or osx program
• Open TinyUmbrella and you will get a screen like the one above, click save my shsh
• Your done now hang tight and DO NOT update your i-device when the new firmware drops.

1. What is JailbreakMe 2.0?

This is the latest cross-device/firmware jailbreak by comex. It was released on Sunday, August 1 (like the previous jailbreak, carrying over the “Sunday is Funday” slogan many veteran jailbreakers and unlockers are familiar with.

2. How Does this Jailbreak Work?

All you have to do is visit http://jailbreakme.com on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, ‘Slide to Jailbreak’ and wait for the rest of the process to take place on your device.

If that link is not loading, please use ModMyi’s alternative link to jailbreak your device.

3. My Device Just Hangs at a Purple Screen. What do I do?

This will usually mean there was a problem connection to the server and whatever you’re attempting to do isn’t working properly. After sliding, a windows should appear and you should notice a process similar to the one in the images below. If your jailbreak does not appear similar to mine, then something had gone wrong. Reboot and attempt the jailbreak again.

Please note that this process may take a few minutes, so be patient. It should look a little something like this:

4. Something Went Wrong! What do I do?

Please post any bugs below in the comments section or email comex at: comexk@gmail.com with a detailed log or error report and provide him with visuals if possible.

5. Where’s the iPhone 4 Unlock?

Simply install unltrasn0w through Cydia like you did on older iPhone models and your iPhone 3G S and/or iPhone 4 should be unlocked.

6. My Device Needs to be Activated, so what do I do?

You’ll need to purchase an official SIM card for the carrier your iPhone is locked to or purchase a phonebook SIM online and activate it that way. A quick search on Google/eBay should turn up a few different phonebook SIM cards that work on any iPhone.

This jailbreak IS NOT a hacktivation tool, so you must activate it through iTunes first.
