iPhone Dev Team Responds to Limera1n 4.1 Jailbreak

The past iOS 4.1 jailbreak environs has hit whatever ‘drama’ as disreputable iPhone coder Geohot has splashed back into the environs discover of nowhere with his fresh released limera1n jailbreak.

The iPhone Dev Team has responded with a past blog place shedding their opinions and thoughts on the stylish limera1n jailbreak:

 

After a few rattling hammy life in the jailbreak community, geohot has come discover of nowhere to promulgation limera1n. It’s a bootrom-level jailbreak that works on the iPhone3GS, iPhone4, iPod contact 3G, iPod contact 4G, the iPad, and (technically) the AppleTV 2G.

 

DO NOT USE LIMERA1N IF YOU USE THE ULTRASN0W CARRIER UNLOCK â€" wait for PwnageTool to incorporate the limera1n exploit. This is so that you crapper refrain updating your baseband and losing the unlock (possibly forever).

Limera1n uses a assorted utilise than SHAtter, and in fact covers more devices. Although whatever may question geohot’s hammy and combative style, he obviously does hit considerable power actuation this unitedly in just over a period (although he’s had the inexplicit utilise for months). Credit also goes to @comex, who provides the untethered characteristic of limera1n via added digit of his ontogeny itemize of essence hacks.

The promulgation of limera1n has (hopefully!) averted the burning of 2 bootrom holes at erst (both his and SHAtter). Releasing SHAtter today would be a rank squander of a perfectly beatific bootrom mess in reddened of limera1n, and so it crapper be held until Apple closes limera1n’s hole. While there’s no indorse that Apple won’t also close SHAtter by then, it provides a treat of hope for devices after Apple’s bootrom respin. Meanwhile, look for an move implementation of the limera1n utilise in greenpois0n (and mayhap other tools), where it should undergo more testing too.

Limera1n wasn’t proven rattling thoroughly and does hit whatever issues. Geohot typically works these discover in subsequent (and rapid) releases (there are already 3 beta versions of it as of Saturday night!). In the meantime, feel liberated to handle some problems and their solutions in our comments section.

 

Essentially, if you’re feat to essay limera1n, use it at your possess risk. It’s a taste buggy right today but grouping hit had success with it. If you tending most the ultrasn0w unlock (for using your iPhone with added traveler SIM), meet absent from limera1n for now.

It was pretty monument for Geohot to come discover like this and obligate the Chronic Dev Team’s assistance to produce their promulgation to hit it updated with limera1n instead of the SHAtter exploit. It does attain significance to hit Apple counterbalance up digit mess instead of two. The way that Geohot went most it did take everyone by surprise. Regardless, his actions could hit rattling well ransomed the iPhone hacking accord a aggregation of work for the incoming time around. Kudos to all of these guys for their awful work!
