Geohot is Back With a New Limera1n Jailbreak! [Update x2]

Geohot is Back With a New Limera1n Jailbreak! [Update x2]

Geohot has suddenly appeared back on the jailbreak scene with a new bootrom exploit he is calling limera1n.

Geohot posted a picture on www.limera1n.com of four iDevices displaying the limera1n logo.

P0sixninja has since confirmed that it is real:


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

Greenpois0n was scheduled to be released on October 10th, at 10:10:10 GMT.

StealthBravo also tweeted: geohot's return is no joke. He is back and is going to release limera1n unless someone talks him out of it.


Update:
P0sixninja has said that they will use Geohot's exploit if they can implement it in time; however, they will not change the release date.

We are not changing our release date. If we can implement @geohots before 10/10 we will use that, otherwise we're using ours. #roadblocks

Update 2:
MuscleNerd: As dramatic as geohot's last-minute all-device JB is, still a shame that two bootrom holes will be burned at once.

Ummmm, you do understand that both exploits are bootrom right? That means they both are for life

There is rumour that geohot will on monday also release unlock Limesn0w supporting 5.14.02 baseband. Let's hope it's true!
Its better for everyone

Releasing both of these will be better for everyone in the iDevice community- since greenp0ison is only for A4 processor devices, the majority of us aren't losing a thing by releasing both. Congrats and thanks to chronic dev team for their hard work, but seriously GeoHot's release is going to help far more people!

Maybe he is working for Apple and want to kill all exploits faster (so Apple patch software/hardware faster)

Maybe Dev-Team is also working for Apple, so they keep Jailbreak/Unlock alive time to time, so a lot of people in the world buy iPhones (otherwise they never buy, like myself)

more than half of the people who are talking shit about geo and limera1n are gonna use his jailbreak over greenpoison when it comes.

Yes,GeoHot is a real hero and needs respect...eventhough redsnow helped us on 3GS when geo dropped it like itz hot !...

Will Limera1n work on the 3GS since Greenpois0n WILL NOT WORK on any device other than the iPhone 4, IPT4G, iPad and Apple TV 2G? If his exploit works on the older devices too then he's one step beyond Chronic Dev-Team.

Let him release it simply dont update to 4.2 idiots!

well, maybe Geohot already found another hole in the bootrom, who knows, i don't think he JUST found this one, my respect goes to him for being a very smart dude, but he is a drama queen, and loves attention, also i think it's a great idea what someone else said here, if the dev team doesn't want to burn two bootrom holes, just use geohot's and keep shatter(however it's spelled) a secret for later use! MAD props to all the people involved in the jailbreaking scene, thanks a million!!

What a shame. Wish he wait till November when 4.2 will b release, just in case apple manage to plug the upcoming JB.

Well, as good as it may sound, at this point his release is DAMAGING to the community as per MuscleNerd above.

i didn't think that the dev-team had released the details of the shatter exploit. so why not just use geohot's now and do the shatter one later?

GO GEOHOT!!! The best at making simple jailbreaks, the only jailbreak that beat his was the 4.0 on idevice jailbreak at jailbreakme.com haha.... This is great!

When has there been a 'difficult' jailbreak? If you have found any of them difficult to follow then you must be a moron.

i much prefer going on my computer, clicking a button, then going to work rather than having to download my ipsw for the phone, load it into redsn0w, then wait... It's not about difficulty, its about speed :P

Wow can't believe Geohot decided to come back maybe his ETA will be the same as Greenpois0n. But who know?...
shO
shO - October 8, 2010 at 8:45pm
His ETA is on 10/11/10 . 1 year after blackra1n release!
