Background Information
Limera1n is a jailbreak by geohot. It was announced around May of 2010, about the same time as Spirit. It is untethered for the iPod touch 3g and is presumed to be untethered for all other devices. It is presumed to work on:
- iPhone 3GS
- iPhone 4
- iPod touch 2G (New bootrom)
- iPod touch 3G
- iPod touch 4G
- iPad
It has been demonstrated multiple times by geohot, using blog posts on his now private blog. He displayed a picture of a high-res Cydia on an iPhone 4. He displayed an untethered boot up that met MuscleNerd's requirements for a good video on the iPod touch 3G, he displayed a picture of a verbose boot on the iPad and his latest masterpiece can be found here.
Technical Information
- This does not use the SHAtter vulnerability.
- This is a low-level exploit.
Controversy
The timing impact of this jailbreak will have major negative consequences on everyone. If this jailbreak is released, the holes used in it might be needlessly burned, seeing as how Greenpois0n is expected to be released the day before limera1n.
