Limera1n Released!

The new jailbreak limera1n was released today. This should jailbreak not supported by the SHAtter exploit running 4.1 (3.2.2 for iPad). Geohot created this jailbreak in 6 months and it was supposed to be released on Monday (1 year after blackra1n) but insted it was released today before Greenpois0n. The greenpois0n jailbreak will now be delayed because the chronic dev team are planning to use the Limera1n exploit instead of the SHAtter exploit so they can save SHAtter for another bootroom jailbreak that could be used in an upcoming iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad.

Limera1n supports iOS 4.1 and 4.0 (upgrade using iTunes).
The following devices are supported:
  • iPhone 3GS, 4
  • iPod Touch 3G, 4G
