Yesterday Geohot has released his Limera1n jailbreak for Mac OS X. Limera1n supports the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 4G, iPod Touch 3G, iPad, and AppleTV (limited).

Up to this point only Windows version was available so all the Mac users were sort of out of luck up to this point.

Remember if you require an unlock do not upgrade to iOS 4.1, you will need to wait for the next PwnageTool release. The only exception is the iPhone 4 which could be upgraded to iOS 4.1 without updating the baseband. Read more…

Since the new Limera1n Jailbreak tool by GeoHot is out all iPhone 4 owners / users can now jailbreak their devices even on the latest iOS 4.1. For those of us iPhone 4 users who are still on 4.0.1 and still would like to keep our unlock the basebands must remain at the same vesion or the iPhone will be bricked.

If you will update your iPhone to the latest iOS 4.1 your basebands / Modem Firmware will be updated as well and you will not be able to unlock your iPhone for the use on other carriers such as T-Mobile, Fido, Rogets, etc.

This tutorial will show you how to upgrade your iPhone 4 to 4.1 without upgrading its baseband using TinyUmbrella. Read more…

These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 also the iPad, iPod Touch, and all other deivices using Limera1n for Windows. Limera1n supports iOS 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, and 4.1. The iPad firmware is supported up to 3.2.2 which is the latest one…

**If you have an iPhone 3GS with the new bootrom there is a bug that still needs to be fixed. Please want until we remove this message before continuing.**

Remember: Do not update to iOS 4.1 if you need the unlock. Ultrasn0w does not support that baseband yet. Read more…

As we all know the new JailbreakMe userland browser based jailbreak doesn’t hacktivate phones so if a user with an unofficial SIM restores / upgrades to the latest 4.0 or 4.0.1 firmware (or any firmware for that matter) then the iPhone will be locked with an “Activation Lock” / Emergency Calls Only Screen.

iPhone Hacker Sherif Hashim found a new way to activate phones without having the original SIM cards but as usual and as expected, Apple found out about the phonebook SIM card trick and blocked this loophole.

If you have activated your iPhone using Phonebook SIM card method, you will probably see this error message “Different SIM Detected” on the lockscreen of your iPhone as you see it in the screenshot below. Don’t worry though, you can fix this issue by following our detail steps listed below. Read more…
