Who would have thought? Geohot is back and he’s just released Limera1n, an iOS jailbreak tool “6 months in the making” which supports “iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G, iPad, iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G, iOS 4.0-4.1 and beyond,” according to the hacker.

Geohot had previously announced that iOS jailbreaking was not fun anymore, but, for one reason or another, the infamous George Hotz decided to make an effort and treat the jailbreak community to Limera1n.

Over at limera1n.com, Geohot dishes out some details about the new release which, unfortunately for Mac and Linux users, is only available for Windows PCs at the moment.

Here’s the breakdown:

"limera1n, 6 months in the making
iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G, iPad, iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G
4.0-4.1 and beyond+++
limera1n is unpatchable
untethered thanks to jailbreakme star comex

follow the instructions in the box, sadly limera1n isn't one click
that's the price of unpatchability
as usual, donations appreciated but not required

AppleTV is technically supported, but theres no apps yet
zero pictures of my face

known bugs
some people must reboot to see Cydia
some people still don't have windows

limera1n app is a white box, i know. use it anyway

It DOES work. Just do as it says to get your device in DFU mode. Once jailbroken, allow cydia to update etc... then install afc2add, so you can use iPhonebrowser, as the services.plist isn`t changed, and iPhonebrowser will say your phone isn`t jailbroken. Nice one!
