imageDev Team And Chronic Dev Team Comment On Geohot's Limera1n; Greenpois0n Delayed

Geohot who had abandoned the jailbreaking scene in July surprised everyone by releasing limera1n a day before greenpois0n was released by the Chronic Dev Team. Limera1n can jailbreak iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad, iPod Touch 3G and the new iPod Touch 4G. iPhone Dev Team and Chronic Dev Team who...

    geohot is a douche he should have communicated with them weeks ago that way they could have been holding off on their exploit. but he needed to be the hero and he basically swooped in and wiped out their hard work to get it ready for release today. inconsiderate big time. i appreciate the jb but the whole situation could have been handled differently

    So once again to satisfy his bloated ego geoNot has screwed the community by releasing an inferior jailbreak. Why is this not surprising?

    This isn't that bad. I hope that geohot comes up with an unlock - 'cause SHatter did that (right?)

    Now the good news is that the hackers are one step ahead the 'cat and mouse'game. So when Apple releases a new firmware, then SHatter will replace GeoHots hack.

    Win - Win situation, IF geohot releases a method for unlocking the iDevice, or if some other group finds a way to unlock it.

    Good job from both sides.

    Everyone should work together and when will there b an unlock for iPhone 4 running 4.1
    Appreciate all that is done, especially since it's free. However to much info and options makes for a confusing situation for us novices

    I completely agree brotha. They gotta put these silly stuff aside and get together to stay ahead of the cat & mouse game.
    Also I don't believe the comments from Chronic Dev team as to
    "Oh it's all Geohot's fault"!! as Geohot's comments do make sense, IMHO.

    first!
    everyone forgets that these people are doing a service for us.. they are basically working for us and in most cases there working for free, not everyone donates and now it seems like people don't even appreciate it either.

    what everybody seems to forget is that greenpoison only works with the new 4g devices!!!!! And probably most of the people bitching have 4g devices!! So alot of 3gs people like me are happy to have a JB for 3gs devices. As in like snowbreez which upgraded my 3gs to 4.1 and preserved the baseband!!! People like Geohot who probably went about it the wrong way make programs for people that have a pc! dev team??? Seem not to be able to make a JB for the 3gs and then they will only make it for mac!!

    I think Geohot made a smart move.. maybe he went about it a little immaturely and in a quite "Kanye" manner but he did say SHAtter was superior.. I think Chronic Dev are acting equally as immature with their comment.. I don't see how his move was "irresponsible" at all.. if anything it WAS the responsible thing to do, as now SHAtter can be released for future devices ;) Either Way massive props to EVERYONE involved from Geo, to dev, to chrondev.

    Doesn't metter if it's his ego, it seems he is more capable then all these other teams.

    Look at it, the dev team and the others are working in teams of people, as I understand geohot is all by himself and still 100x faster. Nobull **** straight to the point.

    Good job geohot

    I have a 3GS. Chronic Dev team's release won't help me. so geohot is still the hero.

    Ummm why don't you just upgrade to 4.1? I don't see why you would leave it on 4.0.2? What sense does that make? Do you like cheek dialing during calls? lol.

    Wow!!! I'm pretty sure you have 0 reasons for your comment. Guess ignorance isn't bliss after all. By the way badboy47, I'll be waiting for you to post your Jailbreak solution. Meaning, one you did from scratch.

    Bingo.... Socaljr statement is one of the most honest one. Just like anything else, geniuses don't work well together. It is just their nature. The competitive is what drive people to do better and that was what Geo threw out.

    I wish I had the ability all these guys have, well done for what they have done in the past and continue to do. We would all be lost without them! Hopefully they can sort any issues out between themselves, but thanks to all of them

    Wow, why all the bad comments about geohot? He obviously had a good reason for releasing his version of the jailbreak. I have used it and it works perfectly fine. I think it was smart of him to release it a day before, so chronic dev would not release theirs with the other whole in the bootrom.

    I can confirm that lime rain works 100% on the iPhone4.1. I updated from 4.0 (but that docent matter as the jb takescplace within. 4.1. Thus, it must be installed first) and do not experience any difficulties.

    Errrr hello people ! GeoHot did the right thing, you don't show all your cards at once especially with 4.2 on the horizon.

    Besides, you complain when he doesn't release anything and then in the same breath complain when he does, no wonder he got pissed off and called it quits, I'd do the same thing too with all you whiney bitches. By the way did any of you donate cash for these jailbreak tools?

    Actually its not superior or inferior, we have updated to say that SHAtter would be more useful for future devices (as its bootrom exploit for A4 chip based devices).

    I have a 3GS new bootrom and worked for me. I restore to 4.1 unmodified and then used limera1n and worked fine.

    The funniest thing is you were all kissing geohot's ass when blackra1n came out now you are all bitching I would say the hell with all of you. thanks Geohot for limera1n.

    the reason why everyone is bashing GeoHot is because he released it a day BEFORE Dev Team planned theirs, without telling them. This in turn ruined their release plans and GeoHot taking the spotlight, after the Dev Team have been planning this for months, anyone with a sense of dignity in the hacking scene would show some respect and tell the Dev Team, i _was_ a defender of GeoHot now i just think he's a media ****, where-as the Dev Team doesnt do it for the attention but for the community and to shove it in Apples face.

    If I use a mac normally and I use a pc to jailbreak using limera1n since the mac version isnt out will it mess anything up on my phone? Or do I need to wait for one of the mac tools to be released?
