Greenpois0n Delayed after Limera1n, SHAtter Exploit is Saved!

Posted by | Hacks | No Comments

Greenpois0n Delayed

Chronic Dev Team have delayed Greenpois0n jailbreak that was expected to release today. There is no specific ETA for Greenpois0n release now as the Chronic Dev Team say they’ll release it soon as it’s done. Here is excerpt from their official blog:

Thanks to the irresponsible antics of geohot, we will have to delay the release of greenpois0n (new ETA = as soon as possible), so that we have time to clean up his little mess and integrate the exploit he uses in limera1n into greenpois0n. This way, we can save SHAtter for future devices that may still be vulnerable to it.

We know that this is not what some people want to hear, but due to geohot needing to feed his ego (as usual) and revealing his limera1n exploit, we do not have any other responsible options.

In the mean time, you can jailbreak iPhone 4 4.1 with Limera1n. The latest tool from GeoHot also works to jailbreak iPad 3.2.2 and to jailbreak iPod Touch 4G 4.1.

Alternatively, iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G users can use redsn0w 0.9.6 to jailbreak iOS 4.1. iH8sn0w is also expected to chip in with sn0wbreeze jailbreak for iPhone 4.

GeoHot is Back! Limera1n Jailbreak is Real

Posted by | News | One Comment

The King has returned! Geohot is back with a new exploit and limera1n jailbreak for iOS 4.1 is very likely. Just as we reported back in July, expect GeoHot to make a comeback. Limera1n official website is now pointing to an image of iDevices pwned by Limera1n.

Limera1n Jailbreak

Geohot’s return was also confirmed by several members of Chronic Dev Team and the iPhone Dev Team:

MuscleNerd: As dramatic as geohot’s last-minute all-device JB is, still a shame that two bootrom holes will be burned at once.

P0sixninja: yes, the news about geohot is true, the day after we release ETA he decides he wants a piece of the #pie

and yes it is a different bootrom exploit, he wants us to use it in GP, but there’s no way we’ll make our ETA if we do

heh, geohot confirmed he only decided to work on limera1n when he found out we released an ETA #asshole

cdevwill: I hope this limera1n thing is not really going to happen, geohot would be burning a while new exploit, which could be used on future devices

So, its almost certain that GeoHot is making a comeback and he has a new exploit that can jailbreak all devices. Let’s see if he saves it for 5th gen devices or releases it. As far as we know him, he’s gonna release Limera1n. Stay tuned!
