The GreenPois0n download is now available for both Windows and Mac, and a Linux version might be in the works. GreenPois0n will allow you to jailbreak the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad, iPod Touch 3G, and iPod Touch 4G.

GreenPois0n Jailbreak for iPhone 4.1 Released

Jeff Benjamin ∙ October 12, 2010

After a couple of days delay, the greenpois0n jailbreak was finally released early this morning. As you all have probably heard, the highly anticipated jailbreak was delayed due to the fact that Geohot released his jailbreak -- entitled limera1n -- shortly before greenpois0n was scheduled to be released.

As a result the Chronic Dev Team opted to use the same exploit Geohot used, instead of simultaneously releasing their infamous SHAtter into the wild for Apple to eventually stamp out. The release, though, hasn't been without it's fair share of problems...

GreenPois0n Jailbreak Delayed Because of LimeRa1n

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

LimeRa1n came out yesterday creating a bit of controversy in the jailbreak community. Because it revealed a different exploit from SHAtter, releasing GreenPois0n today would have given away those 2 exploits to Apple for them to patch in a near update.

Like I expected yesterday, Chronic Dev Team decided to do the right thing, and postpone the release of GreenPois0n so they have time to work on it while including the new exploit found by Geohot. Today the Chronic Dev Team officially spoke about the whole situation. This is what they had to say. No need to say they are pissed...

LimeRa1n to Mess Up GreenPois0n Release

Sébastien Page ∙ October 9, 2010

Talking about drama... LimeRa1n was released minutes ago and the first reviews are not very good. Worst part is Geohot decided to screw the whole jailbreak community by revealing his exploit whereas the Chronic Dev had been working on their own SHAtter exploit for weeks now.

MuscleNerd just confirmed on Twitter that SHAtter will not be used this time for GreenPois0n. Instead of "giving away" 2 exploits to Apple, both iPhone Dev Teams have decided to hold on on the release of a SHAtter-based jailbreak and instead, they will use Geohot's exploit. This is good, but this could also mess up the release of GreenPois0n...

LimeRa1n Jailbreak for all iDevices is for Real

Sébastien Page ∙ October 9, 2010

Yesterday we broke the news about the potential come back of Geohot and LimeRa1n, a new jailbreak-it-all tool that will supposedly be released next Monday, a day after GreenPois0n scheduled release date. At first I was very skeptical about it and to be honest with you, I still am.

However it's been confirmed by all the big wigs that LimeRa1n is indeed for real and that it will most likely drop on Monday. Here is what we know so far...

Is Geohot Making a Come Back in the Jailbreak Scene with LimeRa1n?

Sébastien Page ∙ October 8, 2010

The rumor just started going around on the web that infamous iPhone hacker Geohot might be making a come back with a jailbreak for iOS 4.1. The jailbreak will supposedly called LimeRa1n and would be released on 10/11/10, just a day after the GreenPois0n scheduled release date.

We've heard about LimeRa1n before, and it all turned out to be just a website with no real purpose. So what's different now? Is Geohot really coming back? He is, if you believe this image...

Will GreenPois0n Be a Silver Bullet?

Guest Author ∙ October 8, 2010

I am sure everyone now knows that the Chronic Dev Team has announced the new iDevice jailbreak code-named Greenpois0n will be released this Sunday 10/10/10 at 10:10:10am GMT.

The even bigger news is that according to the team, Greenpois0n will be the silver bullet that will make iDevices jailbroken forever. The team states that this new tool will be able to keep Apple from reversing the jailbreak on a permanent basis...

Will GreenPois0n Be an Untethered Jailbreak?

Sébastien Page ∙ October 7, 2010

What an exciting day! First the news that GreenPois0n will be released on Sunday. Then we learned that GreenPois0n will only work for the iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch 4G, and finally, the news fell that Comex is working on his own jailbreak for iPhone 3GS.

One question about the GreenPoison jailbreak remains... Will it be a tethered jailbreak, or an untethered jailbreak?

Comex Working on a New Jailbreak for iPhone 3GS

Sébastien Page ∙ October 7, 2010

We just shared the news that the GreenPois0n jailbreak will only work for the iPhone 4, iPad, and iPod Touch 4G. However a random tipster just pointed me to this tweet from MuscleNerd saying that even though GreenPois0n won't work for the iPhone 3GS, Comex is working on developing a new jailbreak for this device.

That's indeed some good news for those of you who have an iPhone 3GS. At this point it is still unclear whether this new jailbreak by Comex will work with the iPhone 3G as well. There is absolutely no ETA for this jailbreak. I guess time will tell...

GreenPois0n Will Only Jailbreak the iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch 4G

Sébastien Page ∙ October 7, 2010

We just got a bit of clarification from the Chronic Dev Team who confirmed that GreenPois0n will only jailbreak the iPhone 4, iPad, and iPod Touch 4G. The news was later confirmed by MuscleNerd who made it clear that GreenPois0n will only work for iDevices boasting Apple's A4 chip.

As a reminder, GreenPoison is supposed to ship this Sunday. We'll get those guides and tutorials published asap! In the meanwhile, stay tuned for more GreenPois0n news as it becomes available.

GreenPois0n iPhone Jailbreak to Be Released on Sunday

Sébastien Page ∙ October 7, 2010

After weeks of expectation, we can finally tell you for sure when the GreenPois0n jailbreak for iPhone will be released. According to P0sixninja, the new jailbreak tool will be released on Sunday, October 10 at 10.10 am GMT.

This is some good news for those of you who've been on 4.1 for a while. At this time, there is no indication if GreenPois0n will be the actual name of the tool. There is also no indication whether or not it will be tethered and for what device and iOS version it will work...
