limera1n is out for windows

[omegasoul6]

I didnt get no cydia O_O

So there will be no shatter/gennpois0n release in the next time, because they want to save their exploit?

Now that geohot released limera1n, there's a usable jailbreak out in the wild. Chronic took the best option and decided to not release SHAtter and keep it for later.

ok, then i will try this one with my ipod 4g and ipod 3g (new boot rom). will tell you if it works.

i have a question. if Limera1n was too buggy for me. could i just restore?

Of course. This is and always will be possible.

It should be noted (and I'd say added to first post) that anyone who relies on ultrasn0w for their unlock should NOT use this, as to use this, you need to go to stock 4.1 first, then jailbreak AFAIK. Wait for Pwnage Tool, or you'll go to stock 4.1, upgrade baseband, and lose unlock, potentially forever.

 

[Salamantis]

you need to go to stock 4.1 first

Yeah, it's an in-place jailbreak.

I'm still going to wait for all "beta" bugs to be ironed out before upgrading from 4.0.1. I have SHSHs backed up though. I still don't want to use limera1n

 

[Sotoro]

working fine with ipod touch 4g. after the jailbrak you have to install cydia via limera1n on your ipod. tried it several times and the cydia app never appears on my device. but afer a reboot everything is working fine now

.

will test it with ipod toch 3g now

 

[Sandman00009]

guys the download is back up on limera1n.com!

 

[metamaster]

Downloading now. I hope Greenpois0n will be released later. It's a shame about the release date, though.

 

[Sotoro]

ok ipod touch 3g ist working too.
but it's the same "bug": after the installation of cydia you have to restart your device to see the app symbol on screen.

 

[Salamantis]

Oh I just noticed, since SHAtter is getting delayed, no Apple TV jailbreak. And I doubt limera1n works with it. I got 2 *just* for the jailbreak opportunities.

 

[omegasoul6]

So i restored to 4.1 And used Limera1n And when i restart cydia isnt showing up on my Ipod Touch 2g(MC)

ok ipod touch 3g ist working too.
but it's the same "bug": after the installation of cydia you have to restart your device to see the app symbol on screen.

how did you get cydia to appear? i rebooted after Limera1ning it. and nothing appears.

there is a limera1ing app on your device after installation. with this one you can install cydia.

 

[Deleted User]

guess it doesnt work for me then. :/

 

[Jamstruth]

I'll await a less buggy release. Not that desperate to have to rebuild my jailbreak stuff (basically what I have to do on my iPod since you restore to the new FW as updating can be buggy)

 

[omegasoul6]

Anyone got it working on 2G(MC Model)

 

[metamaster]

2g mc model fails for me. Should I try it with my iPad?

Just to update peeps on the drama:

Geohot used Comex's untethering userland exploit as well as his own tethered bootrom exploit to make this. The untethering exploit was the same one as was planned for use in GreenPosion. It was stolen and used without permission, Comex and others complained, the download was pulled. Comex realised that the pulled version was very buggy (because the untethering exploit simply isn't designed for use on older devices, as GP will only be for the latest devices), so gave the go-ahead for an approved version.

Or something like that

And ChronicDevTeam will try to implement GeoHot's exploit into GP before the Sunday release date.

EDIT: For those people trying it: How difficult is it? Does it require an IPSW or anything like that? Has anyone actually had success yet?

EDIT: Some links to back up my synopsis:

^ You just press make it rain. Then it asks you to hold the power + home button, the to release the power button, and you're done.
I didn't have any success with a 2g iPod touch mc model. I am hesitant about using it with my 3g Ipod touch and my iPad, so I have no idea if it works on them.

So its not really much more difficult than one click. Its one click and DFU mode. I thought from the way GeoHot had worded it that it was going to be more tricky than that.
