How To Jailbreak iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS Using Limera1n [Windows]
Geohot surprised everyone by releasing limera1n yesterday, a day before the
release of greenpois0n by the Chronic Dev Team.

Limera1n can jailbreak iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad, iPod Touch 3G and the
new iPod Touch 4G.
In this guide, we will take you through the step by step procedure to jailbreak
iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS.

Here are some important points to note before you


proceed.
• This guide is only for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS
users. iPod Touch 3G and iPod Touch 4G
users can use this step by step guide to jailbreak
their iPhone using limera1n. iPhone 3G and iPod
Touch 2G users can use Redsn0w to jailbreak their
iPod Touch.

• Please note that jailbreaking your iPhone may void


your warranty and hence proceed with caution.
• Do not forget to backup your iPhone before you
proceed. You can refer to this post for instructions
on how to backup your iPhone.

• Limera1n supports iOS 4, iOS 4.0.1, iOS 4.0.2 and


iOS 4.1.
• Limera1n is currently available for Windows, Geohot plans to release the Mac and Linux versions of
limera1n soon.

• Please do NOT upgrade to iOS 4.1 if you want to unlock your iPhone. You should wait for iPhone Dev
Team to release PwnageTool.

• Limera1n does NOT hactivate your iPhone, so your iPhone should be activated via iTunes first.

Your the MAN! I wish I could JB but I'm going to Korea for 12 months and need to unlock it so I can use it
there. So atleast o now know I can JB.

Hi I am currently living in Seoul, South Korea, you will not be able to use an over seas iPhone here in Korea,
unless you pay a $ 300.00 US registration fee first. I know this because I thought the same when I first got
here.

Just so you know, even if you unlock your iphone, it will not work in Korea at all, because they read your imei
and if it's not registered to their network it won't work. They do have a whitelist of which phone can work in
Korea. If you want your iphone to work you will have to pay 400 bucks to get it registered to the Korean
network.

Also check this out: http://smartblog.show.co.kr/249 it is in Korean but from what I can tell you is that if you
buy an iphone 4 in Korea, that they offer authorized unlock. That's what the site is pretty much saying. That is
it has to be out of contract, and the iphone must be purchased in Korea for them to unlock it. They don't
unlock iphones from different countries. So this could be one of the option that you could look into. sell your
iphone that you have now, buy the iphone 4 in Korea, if you get a visa to stay over a year, i'm sure you can use
that to open a line. buy it no-contract price, have them unlock the iphone and viola, you can use the iphone
anywhere (which I think it should work, as they unlock the Korean iphones). You might need a translater with
you if you plan on doing this. As this could be the only option may not work as you have to have it unlocked
prior to having the KCC approve it. If it's locked, it won't work.

This is great, thanks for putting this together. Now, I have a question. I have and iPhone 4, 4.0.1, jailbroken
with jailbreakme.com. My SHSH blobs have been saved to Cydia for 4.1, confirmed by TinyUmbrella.

What do I need to do to get 4.1 jailbreak? I really don't want to lose anything.

Do I need to update to 4.1, preserving my baseband, then use limera1n? Or, is there an option of using a

Can I back up a limera1n JB 3GS 4.1 to a non broken state.
Than JB with greenpois0n for unlocking reasons? Or is there an easier way?

Or will there be a way to unlock it while it's JB later?

greenpois0n has nothing to do with unlocking. Ultrasn0w is the ONLY thing that unlocks the phone currently.

Works fine until step 8 but then the limera1n logo that's supposed to show up on the iPhone in step 9 never
does. Just Apple logo appears on iPhone and limera1n application enters step 10, announcing the phone was
successfully jailbroken. Which actually it wasn't, there is no limera1n app on the iPhone, also not after restart.
Environment: Win XP in Parallels 5 VM on Macbook Pro OS 10.6, iPhone 4 running 4.1

Wait for the MAC version, or use a windows PC. Your problem is probably XP in the VM.

Nobody using 64bit Win7 has had problems as far as I can tell (except for 3gs new boot rom)

I can successfully jailbreak my 3GS on 4.1 (new bootrom, previously jailbroken and all..) but when I launch
Cydia it's always stuck on "Reorganizing, will close when done" and no matter how many times I realaunch
Cydia, restore my phone, and jailbreak it again, it doesn't help.

i successfully Jb my iphone 4 . My SHSH blobs have been saved to Cydia for 4.1, confirmed by TinyUmbrella. I
can not install cydia because http://www.limera1n.com/ is banned in china. when i open limeran1 then it say
check your internet connection. Can ayone help me?Any way to use proxy to install cydia on iphone?

Tony said in reply to qasim...


You can use most routers to proxy all internet traffic so just using wifi in that case should work? But really I
don't know much about how China goes about blocking sites... if you know you can get around their
restrictions via proxy in other cases then just using a wifi router that uses a proxy should do ya good.

limera1n does not install 4.1... you must update through itunes then jailbreak with limera1n, however if you
are looking to unlock dont upgrade to 4.1 until pwnagetool is released since itunes upgrade will also update
your baseband which currently cannot be unlocked

You must update to 4.1 in itunes before jailbreaking with with limera1n. THIS step will un-jailbreak the phone
and you'll lose all your Cydia stuff and your jailbroken apps.
Because you've already jailbroken you iphone there are a few apps out there that will help you through this
process.

Before using limera1n backup your jailbroken iphone using the cydia app pkgbackup first.
It's a $3.49 app but it worth it if you spent hours customizing your jailbroken iphone.

Then transfer your purchases(right click on iphone icon in itunes- This step will transfer any apps that were
downloaded using installous), then backup the phone (Right click on iphone icon in itunes) and sync.
pkgbackup Tutuorial
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=7685
Now you're ready to update the iphone to 4.1 using itunes.
Jailbreak with limera1n.
Once cydia is installed -
Restore from backup (Right click on iphone icon in itunes)
Then download and install pkgbackup from cydia.
Press Restore in the app pkgbackup.

Everything should be back to the way it was!

turned my phone off before clicking on make it rain but worked the second time around when I left it on.
Also there were some posts that installous is not working after limera1n on cydia which is not true, it worked
perfectly fine and I am enjoying my iPhone 4 to the fullest with a jailbreak and installous, ooh I also did not
loose any application or any contacts or messages, everythin was exactly the same..

No, you didn't 'Brick you Phone'. Brick means you phone is just that - a worthless brick, good only to be
thrown away. You restored your phone and got back what you had.
The update just didn't work for you, but no harm done. So try again or wait for a few more bug-fixes.
You're unhappy? Just how much did you pay for this free tryout?

And where is green poison now??? Green poison is sound mote and more like a hoax gone wrong, with delay
after delay. If green poison is so great why has it been delayed again. If it's the ultimate jailbreak why has
another jailbreak delayed it's release. Does this mean any new releases will stuff up green poison, then it's not
the fix were looking for then is it. Rumor has it that green poison doesn't live up to the permanent jailbreak
that is claimed and never will as it is all just fantacy. Just ask greenninjia.

I have to agree... a jailbreak that will jailbreak all devices for life has no reason to be set back because someone
else was a bit faster with another exploit... I wouldn't be surprised to see geo was just used so they wouldn't
have to admit failure yet.

It never did jailbreak all devices for life, nor does this, you guys must seriously learn to read.

There is two exploits now to use for Jailbreaking, by releasing greenpoison as well, both exploits can be done
away with from Apple side by changing hardware.
The reason they didn't release was so that if by chance apple decides to release updated hardware to stop the
Jailbreak, then there is another exploit already done/tested etc to fall back on.

As for the life thing, the exploit means the Jailbreak can't be blocked by Apple updates etc, but updating will
actually remove the Jailbreak.
Please do some reading before you say untrue and uneducated guesses about the two teams.

And well done Geohot, even though your annoying and idiotic for doing this all hidden etc, all the same, well
done, and thanks.

Stupid even if they release Greenpois0n u can not unlock your phone if u upgrade to 4.1 from iTunes.
Greenpois0n is just for jailbreaking and same for limera1n.. Do you even know what you talking about or what
your doing? I jailbreak my iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 save my baseband to tiny umbrella and it's unlocked with
software 4.1 it's not buggy.

listen dick-greenpoison and shatter is a jailbreak for life and is basically intended for the devices with the new
apple a4 processors,for people who have those devices like myselfyes I do know what I'm talkin bout I wanna a
jailbreak for life not temporarily and it was a douce bag move for him to release it the sometime dev-team did
alot of work towards this and if u read there blog they are not happy bout limerain either.

yes they are not happy. but get this, when FW4.2 hits, and geohots lime doesn't work they can always release
shatter exploit. these are different exploits here. they are not happy mostly cause limerain is buggy. and
geohot could have saved this exploit for later as shatter one was ready. yes, he wanted attention and wanted
the fame. but then again, we can jailbreak our phones here. thank the guy for once.

Dick? Oh aren't your manners exciting.

Do you realize that the Jailbreak was never for life? That an update WILL erase it? So no, you actually do not
know what your talking about.
Hell I'm not even going to explain it to an arrogant idiot like yourself.

Basically ultrasnow is needed for unlock. See that word? unlock it doesn't seem nor look the same as
jailbreak does it? Thats because it isn't.

I had successfully installed limera1n on my iphone 4 version 4.0.2 and then installed cydia. But when I put my
sim in the phone emergency call screen appeared again. Please help me to jailbreak my phone.

Why don't we just thank Geohot for releasing the tool and them work out their differences - the community
has their jailbreak just be grateful

We are grateful, but think of how the dev team for shatter etc feels.

Sorry when someone says they are out, they shouldn't just spring back as soon as another teams release is
about to be released. That is called being an idiot.

We are thankful, and personally I just don't like how he handled the situation.
Hell you don't want to complain? Well did you know that not long after 4.02 was released he had already
found the exploit and was able to Jailbreak, quit, and told people he isn't releasing his tool?
I'm guessing you don't know that part.

I think you are right about the iTunes thing, I tried terminating it's process, and then JB, with no success. I
then went into safe mode to try it (since the iTunes software and drivers wouldn't load) But this prevented the
JB software from detecting the phone also.

So finally I rebooted as normal, and I though, maybe I can JB my phone before the computer fully boots up its
software. So I typed my name and password, and as soon as my desktop popped up, I plugged in my 3gs, and
clicked the limera1n icon, and followed the instructions as normal... Tada! It worked :)
So thanks for the idea, I tried it this way cos I didn't want to tamper with iTunes as my backup was on there

And thanks to the developers for there hard work on this exploit :-*

If only that fame-hungry geo wasnt so impatient to release his damn L1mera, i wouldnt be misled and would
safely preserve the baseband with Chronic guys' Pwnge tool. And now, even though I can jailbreak I still lack
unlock !!! Damn you Geohot, you need to learn how to work in a team ! What am i gonna do with 02.10.04
baseband now? Does anyone know if there is smth coming out for the unlockers?

Reply October 10, 2010 at 07:07 AM

dravenb4u said in reply to dimis...


dude.. didn't you read the instructions? It said wait for pwnage if you need an unlock. It could not be more
clear. Stop ragging on the guy... restore and wait for Chronic to release their fix if you feel that works better.
No harm done. You did backup first right????

Reply October 10, 2010 at 07:09 AM

Didnt follow instructions really well. My mistake no doubt ! All I did was shsh with tinyumbrella. But the
baseband updated from 1.59.00 to 02.10.04 - and there is no way back for baseband that i am aware of...

Surely for you guys who dont care about unlock, L1mera made difference - one day difference ! Geo could use
his exploit later, but NO - he wanted to be the first ! And for people like me who have no time reading
instructions (or not much informed) it created a problem with unlock now. The chronic dev team guys' tool
would have eliminated any chance of upgrading baseband - no risk ! But geo wanted to be spotlighted first! No
reason !!!

Are you stupid or what ?
You updated baseband. It has nothing to do with limera1n. You should have updated to 4.1 without updating
baseband. There are tools for that. People like you make me mad. How dare you to blame anybody for your
stupidity !!!
