geeksn0w is a jailbreak program that currently performs a tethered jailbreak for the iPhone 4 on iOS 7.1.
Supported Devices
The only supported devices are those of the iPhone 4. This is because geeksn0w uses opensn0w and geohot's limera1n exploit which ios only available for A4-based devices and the iPhone 4 is the only A4 device that runs iOS 7. geeksn0w currently only supports Windows.
Versions
- geeksn0w originally performed an tethered jailbreak on iOS 7.0 on the iPhone 4 until evasi0n7 was released. BlackGeek then updated geeksn0w to use the same exploits as evasi0n7 for all devices. Versions 2.5 and above perform a tethered jailbreak on iOS 7.1 for the iPhone 4.
