Background Information

Limera1n is a jailbreak by geohot, founder of this wiki. 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

Absolutely nothing is known about this jailbreak/the exploits used for it.
