10 October -- Following the first limera1n beta release, geohot released multiple versions, each fixing bugs affecting previous releases. Chronic Dev Team officialy anounces that, in order to keep SHAtter undisclosed and possibly preserve it for 5th generation devices, greenpois0n would be delayed in order to incorporate this new exploit limera1n uses.

8 October -- Geohot comes back to the scene with a new bootrom exploit believed to work on all devices, as shown on the resurrected limera1n web site. He prompts Chronic Dev Team to use his exploit instead of SHAtter, but, since greenpois0n is already scheduled to October 10, it may be not possible. Geohot ETA'd his limera1n release to October 11, if greenpois0n can't be changed to use this new exploit. This decision, however, would burn 2 bootrom exploits: SHAtter itself and the one used by limera1n, which is unpatchable by firmware updates.
