hello

I have a 3GS on 3.1.3

I was looking to jailbreak it so i just googled and found Geohot's Limera1n jailbreak

fired up itunes and Limera1n,did the whole power hold and home and then home only hold

the Limera1n logo comes up and its loading for something and it goes off and then comes the apple logo and its stuck here


Limera1n on PC says its done,says it was Limera1n RC1b jailbreak and thanks to Comex



what should i do?

i tried the restore thing in itunes but it gives a warning that with the restoring process it will update to the latest software which i don't want cause i don't know whether the latest iOS and baseband has been jailbroken or not


now i am doing some research and found out Limera1n was not made for 3.1.3

am i in alot trouble? -please help
 
There is a jailbreak available for 4.1, but if you need an unlock you're screwed (and not in the good way).
Limerain was made for 4.1. It'll work after an upgrade to 4.1.
Do you have your SHSH blobs saved? If not, now is a good time to start saving them with Tiny Umbrella. You can only save 4.1, because that's what Apple is signing for. However, this'll cover you in the future.
