Limera1n vs Greenpois0n: wait or ra1n?

[Derkatwork]

I'm a novice with jailbreaking (did it to a first gen touch). I have a no contract (and unactivated) iphone 4 with 4.1 iOS. I was wondering about the stability of limera1n vs greenpois0n (yes I know a mac version isn't out yet; merely based on chronic dev team's history). Would it be worth it to wait for greenpois0n? If so, infinite folder space is sounding nice (among other things) . Thanks for the input.

I used Greenpois0n on iPhone 4 (4.1 firmware with baseband preserved at 1.59.xx with TU) and my jailbreak is rock solid (used Windoze version since Mac isn't out yet)

I used limera1n on OS X and used TinyUmbrella to retain my 01.59.00 baseband. I'm jailbroken and unlocked. limera1n is not a flawless jailbreak as sometimes the app icon on the phone doesn't appear. A rejailbreak, reboot or even another restore got it to appear on some subsquent jailbreaks I performed on my iphone 4s. As far as chronic's "history", they've never released an application like this before.

So limera1n will turn my unactivated into hacktivated and runs (mostly) well? Thanks for the help. I will go with limera1n I guess.

When people say the icon was white, it's not a big deal and means absolutely nothing in terms of stability. Limera1n and Greenpois0n do the exact same thing using the exact same exploit. I used Limera1n and have had absolutely zero problems.

You don't need to hacktivate, you just need an AT&T sim, doesn't even need to be activate.

Limera1n is the original, Greenpois0n is a KIRF one. Which one you wanna use? The original one for sure!

I can't speak for everyone, but from my experience the Dev Team tools (Greenpoison, in this case) have noticeably fewer bugs.

I jailbroke 4.1 when limerain was released, and had all sorts of odd issues. My alarms could not be turned off unless I rebooted, I frequently lost data connections until reboot, and a few other minor things.

Yesterday, I restored to stock 4.1 and re-jailbroke with greenpoison and have no problems at all.

I also noticed similar issues back in the pre-iOS 4 days.

The very first release of Limera1n did have issues, it has since been updated. It has been stable for the past 3 or 4 days.

There are a few Dev Teams. Chronic dev team and the Dev Team not to be confused with each other. GP was a chronic JB. Lime had a couple of problems on initial release because Geo had to rush it to keep them from wasting the Shatter exploit. Still this is the way Geo has alway released his tools. He gets them stable enough for HIS hardware, release and then quickly updates the build as he learns of incompatibilities/bugs.

My mistake & thanks for the clarification. I meant Chronic Dev Team. I mostly read about CDT, so I forget the Chronic part sometimes.

Mac version for limera1n is indeed out. I used it to jailbreak an iPad last night. Limera1n is a very easy and stable jailbreak. I used limera1n to jailbreak my iPhone 4. Both greenpoison and limera1n are good jailbreak programs. You're not going to to wrong with either.

When was greenpois0n released? And it's not using the Shatter exploit is it?

A few days ago. It uses Geohot's exploit, rather than Shatter. Using shatter would have been a waste, since Geohot already released his limerain exploit.

It's a long & complicated story, but that's the gist of it.

One final question though. Does the iPhone 4 have an AT&T sim in it already (new in the box iPhone 4)? Or do I need to buy a sim instead of that one anyways? Thanks for your input.

US iPhones will already have an ATT sim, don't need to buy anything extra

pod2g tweeted an hour ago that greenpois0n for os x is done and will be released quickly.
