Jailbreak iOS 4.0 & 4.1 on iPhone 4 & 3GS Tutorial Using Limera1n

As I’m sure you already know, Geohut has released their very much available jailbreaking tool called Limera1n. This amazing new tool has the ability to jailbreak iOS 4.0 and 4.1 on the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, the iPod Touch 3G and 4G and the iPad. If you have an iPhone 4 or 3GS and you are running iOS 4.1 on the new or old bootrom then the following step by step tutorial is all you need.

Steps To Jailbreak iOS 4.1 on iPhone 4 and 3GS with Limera1n:

• 1. The first thing that you have to do is download Limera1n. The link for this is http://www.limera1n.com/limera1n.exe



• 2. Once you have downloaded your tool the next thing you need to do is download and install iTunes 10.0.1


• 3. Next you need to connect your iPhone to your PC and start iTunes.


• 4. You need to ensure that your iPhone is running on stock iOS 4.0 or iOS 4.1. It is worth noting that if you have an unlocked iPhone do not under any circumstances upgrade to iOS 4.1 using iTunes. If you do it will upgrade your baseband to 05.14.02 on the iPhone 3GS and 2.10.04 on the iPhone 4. If you are using an iPhone 4 you can upgrade to iOS 4.1 without affecting your baseband by using TinyUmbrella.


• 5. Next you need to launch the Limera1n.exe file. The image below is what you should see.

6. You need to click on the make it ra1n button. When you do this Limera1n will automatically put your iPhone into recovery mode and you will see the image below.



7. While your iPhone is in recovery mode you will see the image below being displayed on your iPhone screen.



8. You need to now hold the Home+Power buttons on your iPhone and keep an eye on what the Limera1n tool is displaying.



9. When the release power button is displayed by Limera1n you can release the power button. Make sure that you keep holding the Home button though.



10. You need to keep holding the Home button until the Limera1n screen displays in DFU mode.



11. Once you have the image above you need to wait a couple of moments while Limera1n actually jailbreaks your device. When this has been completed you will see the following message being displayed.





12. You will also receive a message saying that your jailbreak has been completed. Next all you have to do is turn on your device and you will see that the Limera1n app has been installed on your iPhone. You can then launch this app and you will be able to install Cydia from here. Once Cydia has been installed successfully you will be able to remove the Limera1n app.


That’s all there is to it.

Use Redsn0w 0.9.6b1 to Jailbreak iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G on iOS 4.1

If you have the final version of the iOS 4.1 on your iPhone 3G or iPod Touch 2G you will be delighted to hear that you can now jailbreak these devices with Redsn0w 0.9.6b1 even if you operate your PC on Windows. The previous version of Redsn0w 0.9.6 was only available for Mac OS X users but the iPhone Dev-Team have done some work on this tool and in its latest release you have Windows built in.



This latest release of Redsn0w is still in beta for the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G using iOS 4.1 and iOS 4.0. It does how use the same pwnage2 DFU mode exploit but you should note that it does not include the SHAtter exploit that has been developed by pod2g. With this jailbreak there is nothing new being revealed to Apple either which is good news.


There is something that I should point out for anyone wishing to use the Redsn0w 0.9.6b1 jailbreak and that is that if you have an MC model of the iptg2 the jailbreak on your iOS 4.1 will be tethered. This is unfortunate but you can rollback to a FW supported version by using jailbreakme.com or spiritjb.com.


If you currently have and rely on an unlocked iPhone 3G then you are advised not to use this tool because you will lose your Ultrasn0w unlock forever. The Redsn0w tool will jailbreak your iPhone 3G on the iOS 4.1 but in doing this it also updates your baseband to 05.14.02 which is currently unlockable with the current version of Ultrasn0w so you need to be careful if you decide to use Redsn0w.

If you haven’t unlocked your iPhone and you want to jailbreak it then the Redsn0w 0.9.6b1 with Windows built in is the perfect solution.

iPhone 4, 3Gs & 3G Jailbreak With JailbreakMe

To jailbreak an iPhone means to unlock the operating system of the device so that the user can install and use third party applications. Apple have strict operating systems installed on their devices that only allow the use of Apple approved applications and this has lead to a number of developers creating jailbreaking applications to give users back the freedom to use their devices anyway they choose. When you jailbreak your phone you can install and use third party applications without any restrictions.

When it comes to jailbreaking the iPhone you can now use a great application called JailbreakMe. You can even use this to jailbreak the iOS 4.0.1 on the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G. The JailbreakMe 2.0 version works very similar to the Spirit jailbreak and it is very easy to use. All you have to do is open the Safari browser on your iOS device and follow the simple steps in this tutorial.

JailbreakMe 2.0 is the latest version and it is the easiest of all the jailbreaking programs to use. This tutorial will show you how to use the JailbreakMe to jailbreak your iPhone. All you have to do is follow the steps below.

Step 1:
The first thing that you have to do to jailbreak your phone is to download iTunes if you haven’t already and make sure that you back up all the data on your phone. This is in case anything goes from. If you haven’t already updated your iPhone to iOS 4.0.1 then you should do this now via iTunes.

Step 2:
Open up your Safari browser and go to
http://jailbreakme.com or
http://www.jailbreakme.com

Step 3:
Slide to jailbreak to begin the jailbreak. JailbreakMe will be downloaded to your iPhone and it will then start to work its magic.



Step 4:
You need to wait until JailbreakMe 2.0 downloads all the files that it will need to jailbreak your phone.


Step 5:
Once the JailbreakMe application has finished downloading it will automatically jailbreak your iPhone for you. All you have to do is wait for this process to complete. That is perhaps the hardest part of all of this.

When it is finished you will get a message saying that Cydia has been added to the home screen of your iPhone. You are now running a jailbroken iPhone. The JailbreakMe 2.0 version will work on all iOS devices on the new bootrom and this inlcudes the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and the iPhone 3G running on the iOS 4 and 4.0.1. This jailbreaking application will not work on iPhones running the iOS 4.1 beta version.



As you can see, using JailbreakMe 2.0 to jailbreak your iPhone really is very simple. I’m sure as the iOS upgrades so too with this excellent jailbreaking application. You do need to remember that this application will not work if you are using the iOS 4.1 beta version that is available so make sure that you don’t upgrade via iTunes after you have jailbroken your phone. If you do your phone will be locked again and you will have to wait for a new version of the JailbreakMe to be released before you can unlock it again.

Jailbreak iPhone iOS 4.0.2 with Redsn0w

JailbreakMe is not compatible with the latest iOS 4.0.2 software update, however, the iPhone Dev Team said that it’s possible to jailbreak iOS 4.0.2 on iPhone 3G and iPod Touch (non-MC models) 2G with Redsn0w 0.9.5b5-5.

Apple released iOS 4.0.2 to address and patch a security problem found on iOS 4.0 and 4.0.1 created by JailbreakMe.

Now, to jailbreak iPhone 3G and iPod Touch, first, you would need to download iOS 4.0.2 for your version of iPhone and iPod touch. Update to this latest firmware using the IPSW file you downloaded via iTunes 9.2.1.

Start Redsn0w 0.9.5b5-5 and point it to iOS 4 Final Version (not iOS 4.0.2 firmware). After this, select “Install Cydia” and click “Next”.

This action will take you to a screen with a message that says: “Please make sure your device is both OFF and PLUGGED IN to the computer. If it is not off, plug the device into the computer FIRST. Then hold down the Power button (on the edge of the device) until ‘Slide to Power Off’ appears, and then slide to power off. Click next ONLY when your device is BOTH off and plugged in.”

After clicking next, you will be presented with a screen where you would need to quickly hold the “Power” button, and then while holding the “Power” button, you will also need to hold the “Home” button at the same time. After a few seconds, release the “Power” button but keep holding the “Home” button until installation begins.

Redsn0w should now be doing the rest of the job for you. Once done, your iPhone and/or iPod Touch will restart automatically and you will find it jailbroken on the latest iOS 4.0.2 firmware.
