Limera1n Jailbreak

By now if you have come this far you have heard about jailbreaking, so what is this? jailbreak is a method of freeing your iphone from apple and having be able to download third party applications abroad for example "cydia" app will be what you most probably would use in the beginning. when you jailbreak your iphone you will see a Limera1n app that will have cydia in it that you can install. once you do that you have a jailbroken iphone. So the big question is if you jailbreak what do you gain? well as you know apple doesn't allow you to for example have custom themes, or use bluetooth with other phones to exchange data, its not that its not capable its just that apple doesn't allow it, you would also want to use cydia to download apps that let you use your skype on 3G or any other Voip-voice over ip based app. reason being who wants to only you skype on wireless when we always on the move? so jailbreaking using my method below will allow you to do virtually anything to your iphone,including how to get free apps. In my next few blogs i will teach you which is the best apps from cydia and app store to optimize your iphone for working like a slave horse.


The following instructions will help you jailbreak iOS 4.1 on iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS using Limera1n.

NOTE: If you rely on an unlock, do not update to iOS 4.1 yet as doing so will upgrade your baseband, making it impossible for now to unlock. Either use TinyUmbrella to update to iOS 4.1 without update baseband , or wait for PwnageTool which will help you cook custom firmware files for iOS 4.1 without the upgraded baseband.

Step 1: Download Limera1n from here.

Step 2: Connect your iPhone via USB to your computer and click on “make it ra1n”


Step 3: Now follow the following steps in this order:

  • Now wait for the device to enter recovery mode:


  • Now hold “Home” + “Power” buttons:


  • Release the “Power” button:


  • now wait for the device to enter DFU mode:


Step 4: Once you are done with this, you will have the limera1n logo on your iPhone’s screen. Limera1n will now inject the bootrom exploit to pwn your device forever!

Step 5: Jailbreak is done!


Step 6: Now start Limera1n app from your iPhone, and install Cydia as shown in the screenshots below.


Step 7: Now simply restart your device and enjoy the jailbreak!

You can also alternatively follow the step by step guide for jailbreaking iOS 4.1 using Limera1n in the video embedded below.

Unlock for iOS 4.1 (Old Baseband)
There is currently no way to unlock your iPhone on the latest 05.14.02 baseband.

NOTES: please make sure that your itunes is close at this time and not running as it will cause issues. A common problem is that after you jailbreak and download cydia, cydia appears on your springboard but wont open, all you have to do is reinstall cydia from the limera1n app, dont delete the cydia app, simply just reinstall over the old one, also dont rejailbreak the phone.
