YAY!
October 10th, 2010 at 4:13 am
Sweet! I believe the limera1n jailbreak will be more popular or just as popular as the greenpois0n jailbreak because the limera1n is not tethered.
And it worked perfectly for me :)
October 10th, 2010 at 8:45 pm
I’ve got a 3GS running 4.1 and jailbroken using limera1n and its all good. A huge thanks to Geohot and Comex.
October 10th, 2010 at 10:57 pm
Why does it say “Limera1n” under ipt2g when geohot never said that? And will it be untethered for MC models?
October 10th, 2010 at 11:38 pm
Really, worked fine on 3Gs w/new bootrom. The whiners have to STFU.
October 10th, 2010 at 11:41 pm
can anyone help me it said jailbreak was successful but the green rain drop doesn’t appear on my ipod
October 10th, 2010 at 11:57 pm
Hey BB!
It looks like there are a few diff packages I’ve read about & experienced not working on 4.1 across multiple devices. I have an iphone 3G (jailbroke 4.1 with redsnow) & 3G Unrestrictor is causing issues. After installing I can’t launch Settings, Location Services won’t work & it only seems to let the phone work in Edge mode. I read about others have similar issues on a 3GS & issues with MyWi on an iPhone 4 when jailbroken with limera1n
Anyone else have similar problems?
October 11th, 2010 at 12:52 am
Worked great on my iPad 3.2.2 but the limera1n uninstaller seems to be broken, other then that it works great!
October 11th, 2010 at 1:03 am
both will be tethered later.. @comex userland is applied at the end
October 11th, 2010 at 2:23 am
Will this work with a 3G Iphone?
October 11th, 2010 at 3:11 am
Thank you Geohot. Worked good for my iphone 3GS/4.0.2 with new bootrom and I can jailbreak and unlock my iphone using by T-mobile. Thank’s again .You are a Man
October 11th, 2010 at 3:27 am
This shyte is junk. Same with the new RedSn0w. Why release when neither was ready. My phone is jailbreak free for the fist time in 1+ yr. I won’t use this until its worth using.
October 11th, 2010 at 6:33 am
All iPhone 3G users: Geohot himself recommends RedSn0w
October 11th, 2010 at 8:37 am
This is cool.. Only problem is it can’t jb MC models….
October 11th, 2010 at 9:58 am
what u mean by MC models?? my 3GS iphone model is MC132ZA…so meaning I cant JB mine?
October 11th, 2010 at 10:07 am
Limera1in Worked fine on my factory Unlocked Iphone4 on 4.1.
It required a second manual reboot before the cydia icon showed up but after that it has been working just fine.
/sanjay
October 11th, 2010 at 10:29 am
No cydia icon after jailbreaking iPad 3.2.2. Tried rebooting several times to see if it would show up but no go. Looks like this was released a bit early and not completely working.
October 11th, 2010 at 10:32 am
Martouf,
Try reinstalling cydia via limerain icon after the JB.
And reboot twice
October 11th, 2010 at 10:40 am
there is no limerain icon
October 11th, 2010 at 10:54 am
Hello
I want to unlock & jailbreak the iPhone 3GS please help me which version can be installed n where & which I find the softwares of unlocking & jailbreaking.
Regards
October 11th, 2010 at 11:22 am
… to clear things an state-of-now-quote from limera1n.com IT Jailbreaks:
iPhone3GS, iPhone4, iPod touch 3G, iPod touch 4G, the iPad, and (technically) the AppleTV 2G.
AGAIN: iPhone 3G to be JB by Redsn0w !
October 11th, 2010 at 1:04 pm
@Martouf, limera1n is a white box app on you springboard.
October 11th, 2010 at 1:07 pm
So redsnow will JB tye new firmware? I just wan to check before I make the move yo do it and then can’t go back
October 11th, 2010 at 1:08 pm
After I JB my iPhone 3GS on iOS 4.0.1 with JailbreakMe2, iPhoneBrowser recognize the device as jailbroken. But same device i jailbroke on iOS 4.1 with limera1n, iPhoneBrowser says the device is not jailbroken. (I use iPB iso OpenSSH. Dont like to use OpenSSH). any help on this….
October 11th, 2010 at 2:11 pm
@DJIphone: yes Redsn0w jailbreaks iPhone 3G under 4.1 perfect!
October 11th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
WRONG
October 11th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
Yes, You can try but it might not work. All the videos I saw say no mc models. and I don’t have cydia or ANYTHING jb on my upod 2g
October 11th, 2010 at 2:55 pm
Is Limerain required any activated simcard of any network?
Regards
October 11th, 2010 at 2:56 pm
or specific at&t
October 11th, 2010 at 3:05 pm
mine work well..and solve my proximity sensor too..im on 3gs…nice!!!! love my iphone back again and i no need to send for warranty anymore hehe!!!
October 11th, 2010 at 4:26 pm
Iphone – firmware installed on mac
Limera1n – installed using PC
I get the DONE message but no limera1n icon. have to wait for mac version i guess. can someone comment on iphone firmeware installed on a mac is different from being installed on a pc and would block limera1n windows version from working.
October 11th, 2010 at 6:34 pm
To fix I-funbox, iphonebrowser saying that the device isnt jailbreaked, just download afc2add from cydia. It isnt added when jailbroken with limera1n as default, like some jailbreaks do.
Cheers
October 11th, 2010 at 7:04 pm
wow this works no problems I am on ipod touch 3rd gen iOS 4.1
October 11th, 2010 at 7:19 pm
No icon is added to my springboard.
October 11th, 2010 at 7:20 pm
I get no icon as well…
October 11th, 2010 at 7:44 pm
I’ve got a 3GS running 4.1. Can I use limera1n for both unlock and JB?

October 11th, 2010 at 8:39 pm
Hi
I have an iPhone 3GS JB with 4.0 – is there a way to upgrade to 4.1 JB without losing all the stuff that’s on there? Or every time there’s a new firmware/jailbreak do you have to start over?
Thanks for any help
October 11th, 2010 at 9:40 pm
what generation is your ipod touch or iphone
if it is 2gen it is not yet supported
October 11th, 2010 at 9:42 pm
I’m having the Edge problem. Stuck on Edge and can’t get on 3G anymore, anyone know how to fix this?
October 11th, 2010 at 10:10 pm
Did u download the latest version of Limera1n, not the beta one.
Geohot updated it on his site
October 11th, 2010 at 10:15 pm
is that the one on limera1n.com?
October 11th, 2010 at 10:21 pm
Yes
October 11th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
ya i just downloaded it again and it still didnt work
October 11th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
RemoveSB causing a crash in 4.1 :(((( Hopefully BB will fix soon!
October 11th, 2010 at 10:27 pm
If limera1n is a whitebox just run it and install cydia
October 11th, 2010 at 10:32 pm
no nothing comes up at all
October 11th, 2010 at 10:35 pm
Are you following the instructions when u release the power button keep holding the home button
October 11th, 2010 at 10:41 pm

October 11th, 2010 at 10:41 pm
Maybe u can describe what steps u are doing?
October 11th, 2010 at 10:44 pm
well first i hit make it rain then i hold down home and power button when it says until it says release power button then when the other thing comes up i let the home button go
October 11th, 2010 at 10:44 pm

October 12th, 2010 at 1:08 am

Some network problem but let the phone to cool down and restart
October 12th, 2010 at 1:12 am
Sorry limera1n
October 12th, 2010 at 4:46 am
There seems to be an issue with Activator. When it’s enabled on my 3G it locks up every time I respring. Try disabling it.
October 12th, 2010 at 5:36 am
Tried it several more times with the iPad on 3.2.2 using the updated version of limera1n. Says it worked but it doesnt add any icon to install cydia with. Looks like we will have to wait for another that actually works…
October 12th, 2010 at 6:34 am
tried limera1n many times but it just wont work. if im not mistaken the limera1n logo should appear any time in the jailbreaking process but theres nothing. no limera1n logo. i even restarted my device after the jailbreak. still, nothing. but it does say something like the jailbreaking succeeded. i wonder if jailbreaking needs an internet connection?
October 12th, 2010 at 6:36 am
btw my device is iTouch 3G on iOS 4.1 (8B117)
October 12th, 2010 at 7:30 am
Got the same problem before,but was able to fixed it,
First. RESTORE your iphone again with os4.1
-after restoring, dont restore backup just for now
-hit limera1n
-install cydia
-after jb,you can restore ur phone with ur backup.
October 12th, 2010 at 9:03 am
Used limera1n…works perfectly…except the time cannot be set automatically … it gives wrong one…. when the time should be 4 pm it appears 9 am … anybody get this bug?
October 12th, 2010 at 10:05 am
How limera1n is used with iPhone?
October 12th, 2010 at 3:20 pm
3g Unrestrictor doesn’t work with FaceTime. Support says nothing about…. Not GOOD!!!
October 12th, 2010 at 7:15 pm
iPhone 4 4.1(8B117) MC603FB model Jailbroken
Thank you Geohot
how to unlock?
October 12th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
ok, so i just JB my iphone 3g on 4.1 with limera1n, but does the blacksn0w unlock work with this?
October 13th, 2010 at 12:15 am
3GS new bootrom MC model. Limera1n works like a champ! Important tip was to Erase all content and settings in Reset options.
October 13th, 2010 at 12:20 am
I had the same prob, until I read the tip to Erase all content and settings in the General/Reset. HAd tried 5 times before this, worked first time after following tip. MAKE BACKUP BEFORE!!
October 13th, 2010 at 12:26 am
I jb mine. 3GS MC137LL.iOS4.1. Limera1n. Works 100%.
October 13th, 2010 at 1:02 am
Help, I just jailbroke my 3G and now my phone Icon is gone, I have looked it up and it says that people keep having problems with this and then they can not hear anything? Can anyone help me? I jailbroke it with redsnow….PLEASE HELP!!!
October 13th, 2010 at 1:02 am
Can we discuss the incredible loss of battery lifE after jb with limera1n? Anyone else have the same issue? Other than that 3GS (new bootrom) ios 4.1 works wonderfully
October 13th, 2010 at 3:22 am
I can’t seem to get either to work.
I foolishly installed limera1n when in was in Beta 2.
Thought it worked but when I tried installing apps, from the app trackr that I had on my 3gs, it didn’t take. The icon is there and cydia as well but I can’t put my old apptrakr apps on.
Then I tried GP. it said Jailbreak failed even tho I tried it twice. So Then I went to the latest version of Limera1n. it said successful, but I can’t put my apps on. I’m also having the huge battery drain after limera1n.
Any help is appreciated
October 13th, 2010 at 7:12 am
Same for me!
I cannot get the Jailbreak on at all,
Im running IOS4.1 iPhone 4
October 13th, 2010 at 8:57 am
You must have used a beta as it did not have afc2add support. Rerun with the new RC1 or install afc2add from cydia.
October 14th, 2010 at 2:30 am
Hey I have a 3rd generation iPod touch mc model I was wondering why limera1n didn’t work for my iPod is it cause it’s an mc model and if so when will I be able to jailbreak my Firmware is 4.1 also. Just want to know if I will be able to jailbreak and when. Thanks for your time.
October 14th, 2010 at 7:23 am
Works just fine on 3GS.
But:
SBS-settings is a bit shaky though. It used to respring automatically after changing a setting. Not anymore. Why?
I have tried to install files (like Navigon GPS downloaded on TPB) but itunes still blocks the install during the sync. Why?
thanks
October 14th, 2010 at 5:01 pm
It’s working very well on my iphone 3gs 4.1. Now I can install installous on my iphone and download games.
October 14th, 2010 at 5:14 pm
U need to install appsync for ios 4.1
October 14th, 2010 at 6:09 pm
this happened to me 2 but only becuase i ran redsn0w 0.9.6 with 4.0.ipsw. switch on itunes-hold power and home button for 10secs-release power button and iphone will go into recovery mode. itunes will detect it then perform restore this will fix phone icon issue. then re run redsn0w with proper 4.1.ipsw and it should work ok…….well i did for me anyway dude
October 14th, 2010 at 7:20 pm
thought id share my jailbreak experiance with u guys to try to help out.im running iphone 3gs 4.1 latest version of itunes using windows 7 64 bit. plugged iphone in pc made sure itunes wasnt running,ran limerain as administrator,hit make it rain promted by the software when it told me to hold home n power button i did so.I kept power button held until it told me to release it but i still had the home button pressed down until limerain said done that was it as simple as that. then iphone rebooted i didnt have the rain drop tho,but what i did have was just a plan white square icon that said limerain.So i clicked on it n cydia was there hit the icon installed cydia.when istalling cydia it told me i was running out of disk space i just dismissed this acion n let it get on with its thing which didnt cause an issue when it finished respringin in thats it took about 25 seconds to jailbreak with no problems at all fantastic job thank u geohot
October 15th, 2010 at 7:03 am
How you anlock?you iPhone
October 15th, 2010 at 1:17 pm
OK I try this!
thanks a lot
October 15th, 2010 at 6:36 pm
Worked a charm on my iPhone4 4.1-Thank you.
Thought I’d give it a go on my iPad 4.2b2-No luck. Limera1n goes through the motions and says its worked but when the iPad restarts theres no Limera1n icon. Tried twice.
Just gonna have to wait for 4.2 and the JB to follow it seems….
October 16th, 2010 at 1:10 am
limerain for MAC is out now.. YEAH
October 16th, 2010 at 1:29 am
It worked fine for me but does require an internet connection to work. I’m a noob and did it in no time at all.
Thanks Geohot
October 16th, 2010 at 1:43 am
well if you would read if its green than you should be good if its blue than might still have problems it dosent work for ipod 3g yet maybe comex will fix it soon just keep looking on the sight for compadabilty i bet they will fix it
October 16th, 2010 at 3:21 am
i have an iphone 3gs ios 4.1. and i’ve tried limera1n but can’t get it to go pass the “in dfu mode, please wait…” how long does the dfu mode last, i’ve waited for half an hour.
October 16th, 2010 at 8:51 am
Shift-Restored 4.01 3GS in iTunes with previously downloaded 4.1 firmware, jailbroke with Limera1n, all went smoothly and everything works fine! Knee-deep bows to GeoHot!!
By the way, to all you guy wondering how long the home button should be hold – you may release it when “in DFU mode … wait” appears on the screen. That means you have successfully entered the DFU mode and you no longer need to hold that button!
October 16th, 2010 at 11:44 am
You are the reason the jailbreak community looks bad. Using it for the sake of pirating, lame….
October 16th, 2010 at 8:02 pm
Hey you have to turn off your computer Internet I firgured it out it happen to me too… Have to turn my wifi on the laptop off…then redo the jailbreak is the iTunes with the Internet that blocking it try it out
October 19th, 2010 at 4:41 pm
iPhone 4 with 4.1, Windows xP home, just follow the instruction, worked perfectly for me and I will definately donate, thanks,
October 20th, 2010 at 5:13 am
Will I be able to unlock my iPhone 3GS after JBing with Limera1n?
October 25th, 2010 at 4:27 pm
hi.. will this work in iphone 4.0.2?? please..
October 31st, 2010 at 7:21 pm
I tried this and although I now have Cydia , my phone hasn’t been jailbroken !! Does anyone know why that is and what I can do to jailbreak it ?
November 3rd, 2010 at 8:37 pm
I am having an issue and I can’t seem to find anyone else with the same issue. When plugged into any computer mac or pc my phone will randomnly respring, while respringing the clock an date show an earlier time, it can go back to earlier that day or even go back to yesterday. As soon as the respring completes it goes back to the right time and date. the respringing does not stop until I unplug the usb. When plugged into a wall it does not respring at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
November 7th, 2010 at 4:50 am
I have an IPhone,I fallowed all instruction,but just Cyndia shows up,can anyone help me please?it’s been two days of frustration. Thanks
November 8th, 2010 at 4:27 pm
Thanks for the download!
My 3GS 3.0.1 was JB and accidently upgraded to 4.1 and all thanks to you I can now use MYWI4.0 again!!! many many thanks!!!
November 8th, 2010 at 5:10 pm
as long as you see cydia on your device, it means it is JB. Simply just go to Cydia and download 3rd party apps and enjoy using them! Couple good apps to download would be YXplayer(watch video from email attachment), yxflash(enable flash), MYWI4.0(iPhone=hotspot) and best yet iFile(organize your files).
November 14th, 2010 at 7:42 am
Help please.
Mine was 3GS OS3.1 before and already JB. Lately Erase All content and Settings and restore the whole phone. After that, it become OS4.1, Model MC135LL, Firmware 05.14.02. And try Limera1n to JB, but fail. Could anyone help please??????????
thank you a lot!
November 18th, 2010 at 8:07 pm
Hey man limera1n just work in iPod 3G ( must be 32 GB) and iPod 4G but doesnot work in iPod touch 2G( 8GB) Ye I know people are in mistake that about that
November 20th, 2010 at 1:06 pm
i’ve tried 3 times jailbreaking it with limera1n but failed. found out that its because of the language setting of the iphone. back to english and my phone is raining now.
November 28th, 2010 at 12:54 pm
hi. I have an iphone 4 with 4.1 and have successfully installed limera1n. Cydia seems to install, but the icon is a white box. Cydia won’t open, it seems to start opening for a split second but then closes, returning me to the main screen. Any ideas? Thanks.
December 3rd, 2010 at 1:29 am
You HAVE to have itunes running in the background for Limera1n to work properly. It will say its done but you wont get a green raindrop. It took me 2 hours of repeating the process to figure this out :)
Yay for wasted time!
Also I believe you cant be playing music (on iTunes) while running the jailbreak.
December 28th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
I plugged limera1n to early now my screen is frozen what should i do??
November 13th, 2011 at 12:01 pm
Amazing things here. I am very happy to see your post. Thank you a lot and I’m having a look forward to touch you. Will you please drop me a mail?
