Geohot Is Back With Limera1n - New Bootrom Exploit To Jailbreak All iDevices On iOS 4.1
Comments

change the release time to GMT -10:10 that will give you a few more hours + minutes
-
A boot rom can only be fixed or updated by manufacturing a new device. The iDevices released up to this point, have boot roms that can be hacked using the exploits. So with the jailbreak tools that will be released, these iDevices can always be jailbroken for each Apple update; it does not mean that device will be permanently jailbroken. That's what I've gathered from reading the articles on iPhone Hacks and reading around the web.

Geohot, you are so awesome.
-
Answer is "retina display" :)
-
what is permanent jailbroken? for me (my own idea)
focus on iphone 2g,3g,3gs (maybe old bootrom)
whatever update that release from apple hacker got a tool right away for those idevice to jailbreak.. but not that mean whenever u updated your idevice then have a instant jailbreak.. but... is not give a hard time for hacker to release a new tool or new update for there jailbreaker tool to jailbreak your phone.. thats what they call jailbreak for life..
sorry for my bad english and correct me if im wrong.. -
Geohot is a real hacker. He used to be pretty much the first to release news about info. on iPhone jailbreaks, plus he was able to jailbreak the PS3.
-
LOL ! So True ... no not really GJ Bro !
-
Tht or so that he could have peace in workin on limera1n
-
-
It's a better idea if they just use one of the exploits and save the other known one for future purposes in case apple patches them.
-
Apple can only patch the exploits by creating new devices with newer boot roms. Read some of the earlier post or read the article about Greenpoison.
-
Maybe people will learn not to pester him and realise Geohot has a lot to offer and let him go about his business abuse free
-
the cydia home page on the cydia app on your iphone can be incorrect, it can miss certain versions that the repo may actually have
use tinyumbrella to check, grabbing the blobs from the cydia repo manually -
I know that. I mean once the jailbreak comes out pretty soon apple is going to release new devices with newer bootroms. With both these bootroms out at same time, apple will patch them both when they start shipping newer devices when they update the bootrom and after that all the newer devices bought wouldn't be jailbreakable because apple will eventually ship devices with updated bootroms like they did with the 3GS.
-
Does anyone know if either GP or Limera1n will also include an unlock?
Thank you
-
Wow...this is a shocker. You never know, he might release an UNLOCK with the jailbreak, then all of the Geohot haters will be on his nutz. We will have to wait and see.
-
wasnt redsnow updated and released to jb the 3GS and all the older model idevices yesterday so you can jb ur 3GS now and dont have to wait for geohot
-
No, but a jailbreak will be released very very quickly using this as the base method.
jailbreakme was a one-off, this is a permanent base method -
Righ,t new apple firmware update no prob. Just update your device and re-jailbreak. Depending on iTunes version or firmware the JB might have to get tweaked but no major wait times if any.
-
Welcome back Geo!! Very charming indeed. Keep it up guys!!
-
What I want to know (as mentioned before the jailbreakme.com exploit) is when will we see a seczone dumper and brute force proggie for a PERMANENT unlock?
-
Unlocks are generally done with ultrasn0w (separate from jailbreak).
Ultrasn0w is not updated for the baseband that comes with 4.1 yet so... no.
As I asked below, however, the possibility of a seczone dumper was mentioned before but no word about anybody working on one :( THAT'S what we all need because brute forcing our unlock code will be a PERMANENT unlock. Permanent, meaning that even with future baseband updates, the phone would remain unlocked even if it's no longer jailbroken.
One can only dream...
On the other hand, many Asian countries have unlocked phones on the shelf, but they're a bit more than $900USD for a 32GB iPhone4.
-
im betting geo had this for a while know it just seems like he knew about the bootrom exploit not sure whys hes announcing now though just my opinion
-
this software is availabe in BETA form allready, hasnt go the usual pretty GUI. search youtube for limera1n beta 2 and hey presto
-
thanks geohot, you're the man, welcome back.
-

-

-
