So are we just going to use limera1n if its working ok then??

i'm on 4.01 on iphone 4 which is jailbrken, do i have to update to 4.1 and then use limera1n or just use limera1n and that updates the phone to 4.1 also?

Probably a stupid question, but if you're already jailbroken with 4.0 how do you upgrade whilst maintaining all your Cydia files? Do you have to reinstall them all again afterwards?

I would say update first because of your changing jailbreak

I would think same as above but not sure

On my ipod touch I had it jailbroken with jailbreakme, i just installed the newest firmware then used limera1n. Had a few problems with things.. but it could be the cydia apps for some reason. Might just say screw it... I only use my ipod for like a few games but mainly music while my iPad is the one i care about jailbreaking (which is already fine on the previous version)

Ok used limra1n on my 4.1 iPhone 4 - had to restart for Cydia otherwise worked a treat

First app I want is LockInfo... does anyone know if it charges for updates or like most apps just the original price?

Never seen a app which charges for updates.

If I jailbreak my iPhone 3GS with Limera1n, are there any security concerns to worry about?

It will be my very first jailbreak and just thought i'd ask before going through with it.

Thanks

Forget your Greenposi0n the king of jailbreaking Geohot is back with a 4.1 jailbreak called Limera1n for ALL devices on 11/10/10.

Official release on 11/10/10? I see there some beta at the moment?

Soulja · 10 Oct 2010 at 14:34

I lost everything from my previous jailbreak

"andy" · 10 Oct 2010 at 15:11

surely you expected that when it involves flashing to 4.1 ?

Soulja · 10 Oct 2010 at 15:12

No. Seeing as people haven't lost apps before.

Also i appear to have sorted it and it's now installing my previous apps.

No.

Actually there is a app which I think its on my iPad and it 'backup' jailbreaking stuff. (Let me find it) I haven't put it to test yet though
AptBackup

I'll probably do this tonight, wasn't Greenpoison meant to be out today too? Is that now cancelled/delayed?

Is there a risk of bricking the phone when doing this (like there is with some Android phones), or does it have a fully working recovery system?

oli356 · 10 Oct 2010 at 16:20

Greenpoison is cancelled/delayed, yup.

Its possible to brick the phone, but plenty of ways to 'fix it' well not plenty but one always works

of course don't hold me responsible if something goes wrong

"andy" · 10 Oct 2010 at 16:20

which android phones can you brick ? i was under the impression its pretty damn hard to do it ! you would have to corrupt/damage the memory in some way

You can brick nearly all of them, its very uncommon and I suspect 99% of times there is a workaround but its always a risk.

I understand Limerain isn't a full release yet and Geohot works fast to patch any problems over the few days following release, so I'll hold off and see what happens over the next few days!

If and when I do this, I assume it voids any Apple warranty, as in they wont swap the phone in the shop for you anymore, or is this reversible now?

nice that he got it out with out his mug stuck on, amazed he manages to peev a lot of peeps off when ever he does somat
