The news just fell that LimeRa1n has been released. If you follow the major iPhone hackers on Twitter you probably got a good feel of what to expect from LimeRa1n: a buggy and untested jailbreak.
So really, the question is: should you use LimeRa1n? Should you put your iPhone in jeopardy? Or should you wait for GreenPois0n or PwnageTool?
Geohot just released the LimeRa1n jailbreak for iOS 4.1 (LimeRa1n download here). LimeRa1n will jailbreak the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, the iPad, the iPod Touch 3G and 4G. So far it is Windows only but a Mac and Linux version are in the work.
Geohot claims he released LimeRa1n today to get the Chronic Dev Team to do the "right thing". Basically Geohot is saying "F U" to the whole jailbreak community....
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...
We just gave you the bad news that there won't be an iPhone 3GS iOS 4.1 jailbreak, and unfortunately, we have more bad news, especially for unlockers. According to iPhone hacker Veence, there will not be an unlock for any baseband on iOS 4.1.
So why is that? I've got my ideas...
GreenPois0n is going to be released on Sunday. It will jailbreak the iPhone 4, iPad, and iPod Touch 4G. It won't however jailbreak the iPhone 3GS. So what happens to those of you who have an iPhone 3GS?
Well, yesterday we confirmed that Comex is working on a jailbreak for the iPhone 3GS but if I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath too much on that as MuscleNerd made it clear that such a jailbreak wouldn't be released until November, when iOS 4.2 is released...
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...
Wow! The title says it all... You have to watch these amazing iPad animations!
Up until now, RedSn0w 0.9.6 beta 1 only worked on Mac, but the Dev Team just updated the infamous RedSn0w jailbreak which is now compatible with Windows. This step by step guide and tutorial will show you how to jailbreak your iPhone 3G 4.1 using RedSn0w for Windows.
It's important to note that if you've already updated to iOS 4.1 you will not be able to unlock your iPhone. If you do need to unlock and if you're not on iOS 4.1 yet, I suggest you wait for the release of PwnageTool, which will allow you to update to 4.1 while preserving the baseband, thus enabling you to use UltraSn0w to unlock.
This tutorial is for the iPhone 3G only. If you have an iPhone 3GS 4.1 that you want to jailbreak, you're going to have to wait from Comex's next jailbreak. If you have an iPhone 4 on 4.1, you will have to wait until Sunday for the release of GreenPois0n.
The Mac version of this tutorial can be found here. This being said, here is how to jailbreak your iPhone 3G 4.1 with RedSn0w...
I just had some strange error happening on my Apple TV while trying to stream Netflix. Actually the same issue has happened all day. Anytime I tried streaming anything from Netflix, it would give me the error 112, telling me it couldn't reach Netflix.
At first I thought it was just Netflix being unavailable for a few minutes. I tried again hours later and I still got the same problem. The fix for this was pretty simple. I simply unplugged the power cable and put it back on. The Apple TV rebooted and I was able to stream Netflix again.
So now you know what to do if you ever get this error 112.
Looking to unlock your iPhone running iOS 4.1? We've got some good news and some bad news for you... Let's start with the bad news, shall we?
The bad news is that if you've already updated your iPhone to iOS 4.1, you will not be able to unlock it, at least for the time being. MuscleNerd confirmed that UltraSn0w will not work on any iOS 4.1 baseband and that you cannot downgrade to a previous version.
And now for the good news...
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?
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...
