MuscleNerd, a hacker from DevTeam, recently published a screenshot of anticipated jailbreak utility PwnageTool 4.1. It will support iOS 4.1 and will be able to preserve old baseband for unlockers, who have not updated to iOS 4.1.
From the screenshot we can tell that PwnageTool 4.1 will support:
These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone 3GS (all bootroms) or iPhone 4 using Limera1n for Mac OS X. Limera1n supports iOS 4.0, iOS 4.0.1, iOS 4.0.2 and iOS 4.1. Use the same steps to jailbreak iPod Touch 4G and iPod Touch 3G and even iPad. You can find the Windows version of this tutorialhere.
Remember: Do not update to iOS 4.1 if you need the unlock. Ultrasn0w does not support that baseband yet.
Step 1
Open your browaer and navigate to www.limera1n.com and download LimeRa1n for Mac by clicking on the Mac logo.
When prompted save the download to your desktop.
Step 2
Double click the limera1n.zip file from the desktop to extract the application, then double click it to launch.
Step 3
Connect your iPhone to the computer and click the large make it ra1n button
Step 4
You iPhone will now be placed in recovery mode.
Follow instructions:
Press both the power and the home buttons.
When Limera1n asks you to, release the power button.
Your phone will now be in DFU mode
As limera1n performs its exploit you will see the image of a lime raindrop on your iPhone.
Limera1n will let you know when it is complete.
Step 5
After you power back on your iPhone you will see a new icon on the SpringBoard entitled limera1n. Press it to continue.
Step 6
Once Limera1n opens select Cydia then press the Install button at the top right of the screen.
Step 7
Once the Cydia installation has completed you must reboot your iPhone.
Step 8
When your iPhone has restarted you can run Cydia. Let it do all the necessary updates
NOTE*: To remove the limera1n icon from your desktop you can install CyDelete from Cydia then use it to delete the application as you delete regular AppStore apps.
UPdate: To have access to the root file system of your iPhone (via file managers like iFunBox) install application called afc2add in Cydia.
If you need unlock – install ultrasn0w via Cydia. Works for up to iOS 4.0.2.
Today the Chronic Dev-Team released their jailbreak utility called Greenpois0n. There are currently two versions – for Windows and for Linux users. The team is working on a Mac version, so it will be released soon. Greenpois0n supports only firmware iOS 4.1, so use Limera1n if you want to jailbreak iOS 4.0, iOS 4.0.1 or iOS 4.0.2.
Remember: Do not update to iOS 4.1 if you need the unlock. Ultrasn0w does not support that baseband yet.
Hackers used the bootrom exploit found by Geohot and used in limera1n.
This release of greenpois0n supports:
- iPhone 4
- iPhone 3G S
- iPod touch (4th Generation)
- iPod touch (3rd Generation)
- iPad
Soon there will be another release, adding things like support for:
- Apple TV (2nd Generation)
- iPod touch (2nd Generation)
Famous hacker Geohot is back and today he released the latest iOS 4.1 jailbreak. It is called LimeRa1n and supports iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G, iPad, iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G with iOS firmwares 4.0-4.1 and beyond. It can also hacktivate your device, so there is no need in phone SIM-cards and other tricks.
This software is still in beta and was updated 3 times in last several hours. So use with caution.
There is Windows version only for now. Geohot plans to release LimeRa1n for Mac and Linux soon. You can Download it here.
Some users report that they have jailbroken their iOS 3.2.2 iPads successfully with limera1n, while others report that they tried, but failed.
Do not forget to backup.
For many users of iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 with iOS 4.0.2 now there is a hope to perform jailbreak using LimeRa1n and unlock using ultrasn0w. We recommend NOT to do it if you have not saved your SHSH keys. You can try, but if something goes wrong without SHSH keys you’ll have to restore to iOS 4.1, and there is no unlock for iOS 4.1 (possibly forever). Just wait for PwnageTool utility.
DevTeam reported that Limera1n uses a different exploit than SHAtter, so they will not release SHAtter utility, they don’t want let Apple fix both security holes. However they plan to release PwnageTool using the same exploit.
Apple has released iOS 4.1 for the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod Touch 2G, iPod Touch 3G and iPod touch 4G.

You can update your device via the links above or simply by connecting your device to iTunes and clicking Update. But note, if you want to continue using jailbreak you should not update your handset/tablet and don’t forget to backup your SHSH blobs.
