So I downloaded limera1n, and ran it. It did its thing sucessfully, and restarted, but there is no Cydia icon. Anyone knows why, and how to fix? I have restored a new ipsw as well, but to no avail.

I have used blackra1n and purplera1n, so quite familar with Egohots jailbreaks. In the 2+ years of having an iphone, this is teh 1st time the JB didnt work for me.

Iphone 4, using 4.1 firmware

Thanks in advanced!
 
me too, no cydia icon!
on top of that, when i retry, it hangs on the "in DFU mode....wait" screen and does NOTHING.

When I unplug my iphone it is stuck on the connect to itunes screen.

HELP!

Because egohot's jailbreak is a BETA... I would not advise in using it.
 
Did you get the limera1n icon on the phone? If not it did not jailbreak. I had to have itunes running for it to work
 
You guys are wrongggggg you have to click the limerain icon which will be on the last page and its just a white icon, then click cydia and install it. It will reboot and still not be there then u have to hard restart ur phone and its there.

This. Just got my touch to jailbreak.

You should see (or atleast I did) a white square that says limera1n, click it and select cydia and click install. Then hold your power button down, slide to power off and turn it back on. I had the correct limera1n icon and cydia afterwards.
 
It just ran again and only hangs on "DFU" screen. If i hold home and power it says "done" and says it was successful, but NO cydia icon. I am using a 3GS 4.1

Once you instal Cydia, and it finishes, you just have to restart your device, and Cydia appears....
 
How do i install cydia? isnt that part of the limerain process? because It says successfully completed and still no cydia.

Ive tried about 10 times and it seems to be a 50/50 between either hanging on DFU screen or saying its complete when its not.

How long should this take? should it be a minute? 5? 10?

**EDIT - my beata is version 4**
 
After you finish limera1n, do you have this icon on the iphone

No I don't have the limera1n app. Sorry to confuse been awhile since geohot had a jb. I don't have the limrain app to install cydia with

When running it on my pc everything went fine on both the phone and the pc. I am running win 7 64 bit
 
i had the white icon, when it was suppose to goto the black screen to give you the option to install cydia it crashes. it starts to load and then goes back to home screen..
 
Here's what happened to me. I had iTunes 9 and used the front USB port. Limera1n didn't give any errors, and showed done and everything. But I never saw any lime logo. Then I installed iTunes 10 and used the back USB port, and it worked. So it was either 1) iTunes 10, 2) Different USB port, or both. See if this helps anyone.

Somebody post here also claim to have itune running on the background to get it to work.
 
For people having issues with the limera1n app not showing up make sure youve updated itunes and follow the instructions right on time and release the home button as soon as it goes into dfu mode:D

i tried like 20 times but as soon as i updated itunes it worked first time.....goodluck
 
you guys having problem should read the instruction before doing it.
it works perfectly.

I ain't a dumb user. I have used qwickpwn redsnow etc. I think I know what I am doing. I have jb most of my friends and family. I work as an it help desk. Don't assume that it works for everyone
 
I'm on windows 7 32 bit. It worked for me the first time. Before I used Limera1n, I updated iTunes to 10.0.1 and updated the phone to 4.1. I had iTunes running in the background. After Limerain walks you through putting it into DFU mode, I got a "limerain" application with a white icon on the phone. Running limerain on the phone should allow you to install Cydia.
 
When I JB mine, I have the latest iTune, winXP 32bit, iphone4 was restore from 4.02 to 4.1 with tinyumbrella running and BB are preserve, hopes that help.
