Shorty: Fixed typos like 'Cretaed'

This is a GUI for [[VFDecrypt]], but on the Mac. Created by [[User:MCTD81|MCTD81]]

It is still in beta but will have a release candidate shortly after the release of iOS 4.2 to add those keys.

==Credit==
* [[User:MCTD81|MCTD81]] for creating the GUI and applications itself
* Macheads101 for creating the drag and drop feature
* Other credit goes to the creator of [[VFDecrypt]]

==Bugs==
If you find a bug, please report it at [mailto:mcc40295@gmail.com mcc40295@gmail.com].

==Change Log==
Pre-release:
* Beta 1 (9/16/10): Simple use, includes firmware key input, drag and drop .DMG input, a decryption button and a drawer activated read-me.
* Beta 2 (10/25/10): First major UI upgrade, kept originals but added device library to look up keys straight from the application (will be updated every new firmware release)

Shorty: /* October */ 12th - Removed false information about iOS 4.2

==2010==
===October===
*October 12 -- [[Chronic Dev (team)|Chronic Dev Team]] releases [[greenpois0n]] after switching its exploit from SHAtter to the exploit [[limera1n]] uses. By doing this, [[SHAtter]] remains undisclosed, meaning there is a chance that the 5th generation devices are vulnerable.

*October 10 -- Following the first [[limera1n]] beta release, [[geohot]] released multiple versions, each fixing bugs affecting previous releases. [[Chronic Dev (team)|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.

*October 9 -- In order to push [[Chronic Dev (team)|Chronic Dev Team]] to change the exploit used on [[greenpois0n]], [[User:Geohot|Geohot]] rushed out a beta version of [[limera1n]].

*October 8 -- [[User:Geohot|Geohot]] comes back to the scene with a new [[bootrom]] exploit believed to work on all devices, as shown on the resurrected [http://www.limera1n.com limera1n web site]. He prompts [[Chronic_Dev_(team)|Chronic Dev Team]] to use his exploit instead of [[SHAtter]], but, since [[greenpois0n]] is already scheduled to October 10, it may be not possible. [[User:Geohot|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 patchable and may be a universal one.

*October 6 -- Chronic Dev Team issues expected ETA of [[greenpois0n]] as October 10, featuring the new [[SHAtter]] exploit for all [[A4]] processor devices.

===September===
*September 30 -- [[User:MuscleNerd|MuscleNerd]] of the [[iPhone Dev Team]] posts [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adVp-IxcDHI the first video] of an [[K66ap|Apple TV 2G]] jailbroken via [[SHAtter]].
*September 27 -- [[User:MuscleNerd|MuscleNerd]] of the [[iPhone Dev Team]] posts [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoX1Q8ym2J8 the first video] of an [[N81ap|iPod touch 4G]] jailbroken via [[SHAtter]].
*September 20 -- [[User:pod2g|pod2g]] discloses details about the [[usb_control_msg(0xA1, 1) Exploit‎]] here at The iPhone Wiki. It was used in [[redsn0w]] the following day.

*September 8 -- Apple releases the [[N81ap|iPod touch 4G]], and iOS 4.1, closing the [[AT+XAPP Vulnerability]].
*September 1 -- Apple event. They announced the new [[N81ap|iPod touch 4G]], [[K66ap|Apple TV 2G]], iOS 4.1, and [[iTunes]] 10.

===August===
*August 12 -- [[Saurik]] releases the first version of PDF Patcher, which installs Apple's patch for the FreeType vulnerability (used in conjunction with other exploits by [[Star]]). It works on firmwares as far back as 2.x, and renders iOS 3.2.2 and 4.0.2 useless for jailbreakers. Jailbreaking and installing this patch is currently the only way for users of first generation iPod touches and iPhones to protect themselves against malicious use of the exploit.
*August 11 -- Apple releases iOS 4.0.2 for [[iPhone]]/[[iPod touch]] and iOS 3.2.2 for [[K48ap|iPad]] as a hotfix for [[Star]]'s exploits. [[Ultrasn0w]]'s exploit remains, since there's no [[Baseband Firmware|baseband]] update on those versions.
*August 3 -- Just before midnight in [[User:planetbeing|planetbeing]]'s timezone [[ultrasn0w]] has been released by the [[iPhone Dev Team]] to [[unlock]] the [[N90ap|iPhone 4]].

*June 21 -- [[iPhone Dev Team]] releases [[redsn0w]] 0.9.5 to jailbreak 4.0 on [[N82ap|iPhone 3G]] and [[N72ap|iPhone touch 2G]] ([[iBoot-240.4|old bootrom]]).
*June 21 -- [[iPhone Dev Team]] releases [[ultrasn0w]] 0.93, an unlock for baseband firmwares [[4.26.08]], [[5.11.07]], [[5.12.01]], and [[5.13.04]].

== Explanation ==

So, I'm sure most, if not all, of you are confused. This Limera1n is nothing more than a plot by geohot to get the chronic dev team to incorporate the exploit used in limera1n into greenpois0n. This is not plausible because the exploit in limera1n is a bootrom level exploit, which can be used to make a jailbreak (albeit [[tethered]]) on its own. To make greenpois0n untethered, chronic dev has used a tweak by comex (in userland) to patch the kernel. The exploit in Limera1n can be used at a later date to make another untethered jailbreak, but it's better to leave the lower level exploits until later, after all, either way, it produces the same affect. To implement the limera1n exploit into greenpois0n, they'd have to rewrite the entire jailbreak, which would offset the release. This should clear up confusion. ~Drake

I reckon it was the iphone dev teams fault if they just had to release spirit after the iphone 4 was released there would be no drama because the ipod touch 4 would hav been jailbroken via star. --[[User:Robinhood|robinhood]]

===UPDATE:===
A [http://twitter.com/#!/p0sixninja/status/26799962302 recent tweet] from iPhone hacker p0sixninja has just confirmed that the date WILL NOT be changed. If they can implement geohot's exploit before 10/10, they will use that. If they can't they won't. --[[User:Dra1nerdrake|dra1nerdrake]] 00:53, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
: This has nothing to-do with Limera1n. -- [[User:Shorty|Shorty]] 01:06, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
::It does. If they can integrate it into GP then there's not going to be a Limera1n. If they can't in time then there will be two jailbreaks released... --[[User:OMEGA RAZER|OMEGA RAZER]] 01:11, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
::: This is a grand waste of a bootrom exploit though. ~Drake
:::: Geohot will not waste the exploit's used in limera1n but greenpois0n is using a bootrom exploit to inject a userland exploit that is odd --[[User:Liamchat|liamchat]] 01:20, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
Yes it does limera1n will use an untetherd bootrom and iboot exploit but Why does Geohot not want us to use comex's kernel patch just for 4.1 then when 4.2 is out we can use shatter to reuse the iboot exploit --[[User:Liamchat|liamchat]] 01:20, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

== Explanation ==

So, I'm sure most, if not all, of you are confused. This Limera1n is nothing more than a plot by geohot to get the chronic dev team to incorporate the exploit used in limera1n into greenpois0n. This is not plausible because the exploit in limera1n is a bootrom level exploit, which can be used to make a jailbreak (albeit [[tethered]]) on its own. To make greenpois0n untethered, chronic dev has used a tweak by comex (in userland) to patch the kernel. The exploit in Limera1n can be used at a later date to make another untethered jailbreak, but it's better to leave the lower level exploits until later, after all, either way, it produces the same affect. To implement the limera1n exploit into greenpois0n, they'd have to rewrite the entire jailbreak, which would offset the release. This should clear up confusion. ~Drake

===UPDATE:===
A [http://twitter.com/#!/p0sixninja/status/26799962302 recent tweet] from iPhone hacker p0sixninja has just confirmed that the date WILL NOT be changed. If they can implement geohot's exploit before 10/10, they will use that. If they can't they won't. Simple, right? :P Either way, this doesn't affect the end user in any way (that I can think of). --[[User:Dra1nerdrake|dra1nerdrake]] 00:53, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
