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 wird voraussichtlich am 10.10.2010 um 10:10:10 Uhr (GMT) veröffentlicht.
StealthBravo verkündete auf Twitter: geohot's return is no joke. He is back and is going to release limera1n unless someone talks him out of it.
Update: P0sixninja sagte, das sie Geohot's exploit benutzen wollen, wenn sie es noch implementieren können. Ausserdem werden sie das Release Datum nicht ändern.
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.

Its better for everyone - October 9, 2010 at 1:18pm
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 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)
Dammit, if he release this he is really stupid... save it for the next major update like 4.2 and we know we can quickly jailbreak that too!
But no, sure go ahead, waste it now...
All you fuckers yelling at geohot, do you realize his exploit includes 3GS! It's even better than thus bullshit the dev team is releasing! Plus it will be jail broken for life! In your face dev team! Fuck You!
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.
Shame on you, haters, it does not matter what he decided to do, you already had a huge benefit from his work, both releases are the result of a great work of very smart people, and they give their work for free to people like you. I hope one day geohot will come up with a software that brick forever stupid people's devices.
...Wow...personally I don't give a rat for his jb, I mean is great BUT:
-Why will he do what he's saying he will do?, that will only help Mapple to FK everybody!!!, instead of being a better person and just hold it for a future jb platform.
-Also from previous experience his JB usually comes loaded with lttl but long damaging possible side effects cause he sometimes rush things and doesn't double check, as previously stated by the Dev-teams, that's why they take time for release.
-He's just doing this for publicity, that's wrong!!!, he should just keep it on the side and allow Mapple to go kaput till fixing the new hole, that will give him extra time to go over his JB and look for bugs (like those in the past) so his JB will be nifty and clean, that way Mapple can stay in kaput mode.
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!!
