Jailbreak iPhone 4, 3GS iOS 4.1 with Limera1n

Limera1n jailbreak is out now. To jailbreak iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS iOS 4.1 with Limera1n jailbreak follow the steps below. Using Limera1n you can jailbreak iOS 4.1 on iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 4G. Limera1n is currently available for Windows OS only.

IMPORTANT

Carl_Z October 10, 2010, 4:46 am

I have a IP4 running 4.0.1 -it’s currently jailbroken and I have all the Cydia apps and themes set up the way I want. I’d like to upgrade to 4.1 and jailbreak it again to gain the advantages Apple has with this update. How do I do this but not lose my themes/apps?

godfred October 11, 2010, 10:52 am

get pkg backup from cydia and you can backup your applications and sync with itunes so you can get them back after your upgrade good luck

iPhoneHeat October 11, 2010, 4:35 am

Keep Retrying.. make sure Limera1n appears on your screen when you start the jailbreak process

Wakaas October 11, 2010, 10:45 am

I also have the same problem. Tried it so many times. Iam tired now.

don_king October 11, 2010, 12:05 pm

Make sure you got limera1n logo when finished the jailbreak,
if not try again. After that just reboot and you will see the white square icon. Just open and install Cydia app.

I had reboot 2 times to get the icon.

I have the same problem, but it work now. !!!

Wakaas,
Just to check what’s your Model & BB.
I just got an Iphone 4 that comes with IOS4.1 with MC model and BB 02.10.04 (Moderm Firmware).

iPhoneHeat,
Is it ok for me to use limera1n to jailbreak?

iPhoneHeat October 11, 2010, 3:44 pm

there’s no MC or MB for iPhone.. it applies to iPod Touch 2G only.
yes go ahead and free your iPhone

IcySlayer559 October 10, 2010, 2:14 pm

for those that cant jailbreak iphone 3gs new bootrom
as in limera1n icon doesnt come up or when ur phone restarts limera1n not there

just follow 1 simple step before opening limera1n.exe on windows
just on itunes before opening limera1n.exe
i did that and limera1n appears after my jailbreak
hope this works for u all ^^

IcySlayer559Tm

George Francis Hotz, thanks for the jailbreak tools ‘Limera1n BETA 4’, I managed to jailbreak my iphone IOS 4.1 MB model for new bootrom.

How do I donate to your team for your tireless hardwork.

leono October 10, 2010, 6:57 pm

3GS new bootrom can be unlocked after Limera1n???

iPhoneHeat October 11, 2010, 4:27 am

depends on baseband version
05.13.00 or lower >> unlockable >> install UltraSn0w from Cydia

Hunter0500 October 11, 2010, 7:33 pm

Hi Leono, I able to jailbreak my iphone 3Gs, my baseband is 05.14.02, new bootrom, MB model. In fact jailbreak tool ‘Limera1n’ are very productive and genius, it automate the jailbreak without recover from itune, although the pop-up screen shown the device on recovery mode, I just ignore it. I closed the pop-up ‘done’ by Limera1n and follow-up the closing the pop-up screen for recovery mode in itune.

yetun October 10, 2010, 7:29 pm

i can jailbreak on my iphone 3Gs
easily
really thanks to admin

Quirin October 10, 2010, 9:09 pm

They should update the post because it still says that u can’t Jailbreak 3G[s] New Bootrom

iPhoneHeat October 11, 2010, 4:28 am

have fun!

dollargood October 10, 2010, 8:17 pm

Does this jailbreak reset all my current program or data?

Jdub October 10, 2010, 8:39 pm

If its not working on a touch 3g running 4.1, just keep trying. It worked for me on the 5th try.

iPhoneHeat October 11, 2010, 4:29 am

thanks for the input.

ragax3r October 10, 2010, 8:40 pm

Just installed limera1n successfully. It does show up as a blank icon. Now I have another problem though. I live in China and I can’t connect to limera1n.com without a proxy and my iPod touch 4 can’t either. Is there any way to install Cydia without internet? Or is there a possibility to use my own server to host the files?

hajra October 10, 2010, 8:46 pm

my iphone get stuck with usb n itunes pic screen mode….plz help me out

Ko Kyaw Myat Soe ( Myanmar ) October 10, 2010, 9:06 pm

Thank you very much.

tigersmistris October 10, 2010, 9:22 pm

This was my first jailbreak so thanks geo for making it so easy…had a couple questions for anyone that can help….I read that once u jailbreak tethering is free and I was wondering if that was true and how to access it….second I am having problems with things loading in cydia….is this normal???

Carl_Z October 11, 2010, 4:56 am

The best Cydia app for that is called TetherMe!

ponci October 10, 2010, 9:23 pm

3G, AND 3GS PEOPLE DONT WORRY GREEN POISON IS COMING WITH A SOLUTIONS FOR ALL OF YOU. AT LEAST THATS WHAT THEY ARE SAYING. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT THEY ARE REALLY PISSED OFF RIGHT KNOW BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT GEOHOT RELEASED THE JAILBREAK BEFORE THEM THEY EVEN TALKED ABOUT CANCELING THEIR RELEASE BUT AT LEAST THEY ARE THE ONLY HOPE FOR 3G, 3GS AND IPOD 2G PEOPLE !

ryanu October 11, 2010, 7:09 pm

Apparently Greenpois0n can only work on 4th Generation devices at the moment. 4th Gen devices have different processor compared to 3rd and 2nd Gene idevices.

Correct me if I am wrong. Cheers!

iPhoneHeat October 12, 2010, 12:32 am

Correct..
Devices including iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G and iPad comes with A4 processor. Only said devices are vulnerable to SHAtter exploit

ponci October 10, 2010, 10:30 pm

ITS OFFICIAL, GREEN POISON WONT COMEOUT PROBABLY UNTIL NEX IPHONE UPDATE. THE MAIN REASON IS THAT THEY DOTN WANT TO EXPOSE THOW DIFERENT EXPLIDS AT HE SAME TIME SO THEY JUST GONNA KEEP IMPLEMENTING GOEHOT EXPLOID FOR NOW. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT GREEN POISON IS REALLY MAD AT GEOHOT RIGHT NOW !!!

ijhu October 10, 2010, 10:58 pm

3GS users, if CARRIER UNLOCK is needed, then DO not upgrade to 4.1.
Tiny Umbrella preserve BASEBAND for iphone 4 only. Not 3GS

ip4 October 11, 2010, 7:06 am

while jailbreak microsim must be inserted?

iPhoneHeat October 11, 2010, 3:43 pm

nope

ip4 October 11, 2010, 4:10 pm

tried for more than 10 times. still cant see the Limera1n app. do i need to turn on itunes?

bob October 11, 2010, 8:43 am

why Geohot come out just only jailbreak for..that waste of time. happpen to the unlock. without the unlock there are no point to jailbreak. ( iphone 4 and 3gs on 4.1)

iPhoneHeat October 11, 2010, 3:47 pm
bob October 11, 2010, 7:58 pm

what if u update your firmware already to 4.1 on your iphone 4 and 3gs. is there away u could downgrade it. to 4.0.2….help

iPhoneHeat October 12, 2010, 12:36 am

only if you have SHSH blobs saved for 4.0.2

jose October 11, 2010, 11:00 am

i have a 3gs with ios 4.1 and the baseband 05.14.02 and limera1n worked perfectly, thank you geohot, i have cydia and i know i cannot unlock on this baseband. I’m not that worried but do you guys think that an unlock will come out for this baseband. If anybody knows anything on it i would love to know if ultrasn0w will have an unlock or not or if i’m screwed for now.

iPhoneHeat October 11, 2010, 3:53 pm

not before iOS 4.2

jose October 11, 2010, 11:10 pm

Ohh well, i guess i have to wait. Any info or ETA on when ios 4.2 is coming out. Much appreciated, Thanks!!

iPhoneHeat October 12, 2010, 12:41 am

4.2 is coming this November

jose October 12, 2010, 2:40 am

Ok thanks alot. Just one other question, if the 4.2 is coming this november, i’ve read that the 4.2 can be jailbroken and unlocked at the same time, so is it worth upgrading to 4.2 and get it unlocked as well or is this just false information. The baseband change is what matters, will it change when upgrading to 4.2 or that’s where tinyumbrella comes in. Sorry to ask alot but thank you. Much appreciated!!!

gilanson October 11, 2010, 1:24 pm

Thank You Very Much…..3Gs newbootroom

Hi, I am not an expert with iphone…

please help!

I have an iphone(jailbreaked and unlocked)3gs iso:3.1.3 with modem firmware:05.12.01.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO UPGRADE TO ISO 4.1 AND JAILBREAK WITH LIMERA 1N ???

PS: i KNOW THAT I HAVE TO WAIT FOR ULTRASNOW RELEASE TO UNLOCK AND THAT I DO.

THANKSSSS

leono October 14, 2010, 12:27 am

Hi,
Use TinyUmbrella. Save tour SHSH files, and upgrade to 4.1 without upgrade the baseband (read the instructions of TU)… so you will be updated, then jailbreak it with Limera1n, an unlock with Cydia.

Wakaas October 14, 2010, 4:48 pm

According to my info u can only preserve basband for iPhone 4 while upgrading to iOS 4.1 using tiny umbrella. Upgrading 3GS using TU will not preserve it’s baseband. Pls correct me if am wrong (iphoneheat)

Phunkhead October 11, 2010, 9:54 pm

3GS new bootrom baseband 05.14.02 here.
After the final power up, im getting the white square, but when i run the app, im just getting the background from the “install Cydia” screen for 2 secs, and it shuts down.

Anyone else had this problem?
I reinstalled the limera1n 3 times now.

iPhoneHeat October 12, 2010, 12:37 am

Strange.. keep retrying..

Matthew October 12, 2010, 1:24 am

I got the same problem…
Just restore it completly (with OS 4.1) and then jailbreak it.

Don’t know why, but it works this way! 🙂

richardo October 11, 2010, 9:54 pm

So when can we MAC users jailbreak our devices ?

iPhoneHeat October 12, 2010, 12:37 am

no ETA

dayandnight October 12, 2010, 12:34 pm

you could just use a friends pc and jailbreak it if you have not done so already

duke October 14, 2010, 3:05 am

y dont u install windows to ur mac machine..??

leono October 15, 2010, 7:59 am

Limera1n is already for Mac.

Thanks in advance

taeksoo October 11, 2010, 11:09 pm

I just JB for my iPhone 4 on 4.1 iOS.
I installed Cydia and all… but, when I launched Cydia, it did all the reloading thing it needed to but didn’t reload the applications I bought and all my icons are reset to the original stock layout.
What do I do??? Do I need to buy all apps from Cydia again and redo the settings??.. I hope not.
Thanks

Hiren Patel October 12, 2010, 12:46 am

Hi

i’m using iphone 3G with version 4.0.1 & firmware 05.13.04, and unlocke with ultrasn0w, now i would like to update to 4.1 version…!

now my doubt is that which jailbreak tool i have to use either Greenpois0n or Limera1n & is it possible to unlock in future with version 4.1 ?

kindly suggest me…

Thanks

Tnice October 13, 2010, 12:45 am

Limera1n will jailbreak it greenpois0n won’t greenpoison only for iPhone 4

Ganesh October 13, 2010, 5:50 am

Thanks buddy…!

inwhee October 13, 2010, 1:26 am

hay i can’t pass step 4 . after hold home+ power . its occur retry;hold home+power again again 🙁 any idea

iPhoneHeat October 13, 2010, 1:36 am

follow the on screen instructions correctly

Ganesh October 13, 2010, 5:51 am

Can any1 know when the unlock will be released for 4.1….?

Tnice October 15, 2010, 7:59 am

Go to Cydia try ultrasn0w not really sure

vodanhz October 13, 2010, 8:27 am

i thought greenpois0n was for 3gs aswell since it integrate GeoHot’s exploit hole?

vodanhz October 13, 2010, 9:42 am

finally got it working

open up limera1n.

click “make it ra1n”.

quickly hold power + home(while the screen still have the spinning wheel.)

when it off. release the power, hold the home until LimeRain says “DFU mode…wait” then release the button

you should now see the lime-teardrop icon on the screen.
if you don’t see it. then it’s not working.

once done.you will see the limera1n icon. reboot the phone.
then go into it. and continue the rest.

3Good Luck

vodanhz October 13, 2010, 9:44 am

this is done on a
32GB 3Gs
Itunes 9.2.1.5
WinXP SP3

sorry for the spam.( 😀 )

Khalid Muhammad October 14, 2010, 12:15 am

Hi Vodanhz

Do you have your 3gs with IOS4.1(8B117),baseband 05.14.02??

Because this is the same I have and before going to jaibreak I want to be 100% to avoid any problem!

Thanks

leono October 14, 2010, 1:49 am

Limera1n Jailbreaks perfect on iphone 3GS on 4.1 with o5.14.02.

Khalid Muhammad October 14, 2010, 5:23 pm

Thanks Man!

One more question, if you can answer!

If I jailbreak with limera1n, will there only way to unlock is to use limesn0w because or I can use any other unlock exploit?

maximoose October 26, 2010, 11:59 am

Did you manage to get this working. Limera is installed for me, and can access Cydia, but its not picking up the new network/sim. Baseband 05.14.02 3GS version 4.1

i gave my iphone to my friend to play with for one night. He connected it to his computer, and accidently restored it to 4.1 and now on the screen there is a connect to itunes thing. I connected it to itunes and it read:
“THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH YOUR IPHONE. we’re sorry, the iphone you connected is not recognized and cannot be activated for service. we recommend you vist your nearest apple store for more information. ”
How can i fix it? my iphone is a 3gs 16 gigabyte. thx reply ASAP

vodanhz October 15, 2010, 3:48 am

either try TinyUmbrella to kick out of recovery.
or. try another usb port, another computer even.

it probably restore half way and he pulled the cable.
but yeah try those first.

draco809 October 15, 2010, 4:11 pm

no but i cant do anything with my phone theres nothing on the itunes thing other than the message of thecant be activated thing.

draco809 October 15, 2010, 4:17 pm

actually i tried it and it failed 🙁

Kenshin October 16, 2010, 3:34 am

u try to put it in DFU Mode and restore the fw?

draco809 October 16, 2010, 10:39 am

because for some reason tiny umbrella just doesnt work on my computer

Tnice October 15, 2010, 8:03 am

You can try connecting to computer and hold power button and hone button until apple logo appears then disconnect from computer worked for me

draco809 October 15, 2010, 4:15 pm

when on or off?

scherry October 14, 2010, 7:04 pm

Help please,
I have 3Gs on 4.0 on firmware 05.13.04 that has never been jailbrooken or unlocked. I would like to jailbreak and unlock, which way should I go?
Thanks

iPhoneHeat October 15, 2010, 3:53 am

install Jailbreakme (open jailbreakme.com in your mobile browser) and then unlock with UltraSn0w..

If you don’t need unlock.. install official 4.1 and use limera1n to jailbreak

leono October 15, 2010, 3:55 am

First of all Download TinyUmbrella, save your shsh.
then go to http://www.jailbreak-me.info and it will help you.

Scare October 15, 2010, 5:21 am

Wakaas October 15, 2010, 12:23 pm

Hi. I hav to share very imp thing. I don’t know if u ppl know about but for those who keep trying to JB With limera1n and are unable to do so. To JB with limera1n, first open iTunes, connect ur device. Don’t close iTunes. Make it rain. Follow all instructions. This will JB ON 1st try.

dehmke October 21, 2010, 10:12 am

That worked fantastic, thanks!

m@x October 15, 2010, 12:31 pm

I successfully jailbreaked my iPhone 3GS 16 (new BootROM) but got into problems.

First, when I upgraded from iOS 3.1.3 to iOS 4.1 it didn’t erased my iPhone content, and I had all my apps on the Home screen. Beacuse I used Categories (folders) my HomeScreen was full of apps, and I had to delete some of them, and jailbreak again so that the limera1n app can bee seen on scren.

Later, when I installed Cydia, and all Essential updates, I also installed WinterBorad, but now all I got is four screens of HomeScreen, and no access to Cydia, Appstore, and most of my programs.

The problem is probably in the fact that most of my apps where in Categories folders, so they are hidden from HomeScreen, but since Categories (as program) is not installed, I cannot see or access these folders.

Any recommendation for a solution?

Why didn’t upgrade to iOS 4.1 deleted my apps?

Thnx in advance.

m@x October 16, 2010, 2:03 am

Solved!!!

Just did clean restore (in iTunes) and jailbreak-ed again.

m@x October 16, 2010, 1:51 pm

Succeeded !!!

I did Restore from iTunes, jailbreak again, an now it works.

I don’t mind reinstalling all the apps again so this suites me fine.

Bojan October 15, 2010, 11:14 pm

mreddiel October 18, 2010, 8:55 am

While trying to save my iPhone4 and iPhone 3GS ios4.1 shsh blobs using the latest tinyumbrella version 4.0.8, under advanced options, I then tried to choose the iPhone4 and iPhone 3GS 4.1 firmware in “Device/Version tab and it only goes up to 4.0. Can anyone explain how I can save my ShSh blobs in tinyumbrella? Or do I just choose the 4.0 firmware?

indi October 18, 2010, 9:16 pm

@mreddiel: hey man, you got SHSH 4.0 since you downloaded it from Cydia (saved previously), just change “request from” to [Apple] then you will get the SHSH of current firmware (4.1 if I were right :D)

indi October 18, 2010, 9:25 pm

Not sure your “latest tinyUmbrella” is 4.0.8, if it’s not but 4.1.8, in tab [Advanced] just un-tick Request SHSH from Cydia

blackcard October 19, 2010, 4:46 am

I have a iphone 3g os 4.1 modern firmware 5.14.02. Tried using limera1n everything works up until when it says “in DFU mode… wait”, no green tear drop pops up it’s just black at that point.

Blackcard October 27, 2010, 5:48 am

Isn’t there some type of source you gotta punch into cydia to unlock your phone?

cincyguy October 21, 2010, 7:53 pm

I have the iPhone 3gs 4.1 on 05.14.02. I tried to run Limera1n and it never got to the hold home + Power buttons Step. It freezes at entering recovery and then I am unable to do anything with it at all. I can’t even restart it or anything. Now I have to go to the Apple Store to have it reset. Anyone able to give me insight to this?

I have an Iphone 3GS with IOS 4.1. I origionally tried to jailbreak my phone with greenpois0n with no success. My cydia icon was white and wouldnt launch and would crash when i would tap the icon.
After hours of researching how to fix this problem i had no luck.
Today, i simply tried to start fresh found this website and WALAAA!!
So happy i did. The download, jailbreak, and cydia download went great!!!
Thanks!
