the version of greenpoison they released uses the same exploit as limera1n, so if limera1n gets patched, so will this version of greenpoison. so at least they didn't blow an exploit on recognition.
Got a tip for us?

limera1n was a rushed release due to geohot trying to beat the original CDT GP release date of 10/10, so limera1n came out full of bugs, hopefully most of which have been fixed since. CDT decided to hold off on SHAtter exploit but instead introduce GP with the same exploit as LR but in a supposedly more stable and well tested format. geohot is a one man team while CDT got more ppl to test stuff out fully. i cant say if GP is more stable but thats what i would assume. personally i ran into a bunch of bugs way back when geohot came out with blackra1n.
i gotta admit, limera1n was less of a headache than greenpois0n. greenpois0n continued to fail over and over for me. so i tried limera1n, i was jailbroken in less than a minute.
so they just copied Geohot's exploit and ditch SHAtter.
and many people on the forum are still bitching about limera1n's early release???
WTF?

Ok now I feel embarrassed, I was always on top of things: Making sure my iPhone is always unlockable just in case I need to travel overseas or sell it...
But having a 3 year contract with ROGERS phone carrier, I got careless last night and did a stock upgrade to 4.1 & 2.10.04 baseband from 4.0.1 & 01.59.XX baseband...
So now what? I always like to keep my phone "Unlock ready" even if I don't need to unlock it right away.
So what are the chances of a 2.10.04 Unlock anytime soon?
It's worth to mention that I have my 4.0.1 SSH blobs on Cydia.
But does any of that even matter now that I am on the latest baseband?(02.10.04)
Can someone please give me some insight on this, thanks.

So, which one is better to jailbreak with? limera1n or greenpois0n?
Which one is less buggier and more reliable?
Also, what is baseband, and what is quickpwnage?
All I'm doing is using tinyumbrella on my ipod touch 4g and then going to try one of the jailbreaks. Should I do anything else?

from what i gather, geohot is supposedly the one that contacted CDT after they came out with an ETA for GP release, to ask them to save the SHAtter for later since he has another exploit which apple may know about already and may patch up in the next hardware version, i.e. iphone 5 and ipad 2. the problem is that he had the exploit for like 5-6 months and waited till the last minute to tell CDT, which obviously pissed off CDT since they've spent hours working on the SHAtter GP and had already given an ETA. so originally geohot announces he would come out with LR on 10/11, possibly cuz its the one year anniversary of geohot's blackra1n release, the day after the CDT's original GP release date of 10/10. CDT not being in the best mood, said on twitter they were going to release theirs no matter what since they've already given out an ETA, even if they had to waste one precious exploit in the process. geohot in an attempt to force CDT to save the SHAtter exploit, released LR early on 10/9 instead, though the beta1 was full of bugs. fortunately for the jailbreak community, CDT decided for the greater good to hold off on GP w/ SHAtter exploit, but would work on a GP version with geohot's exploit instead.
That's what I did with my 3GS. I sync with my Mac but I downloaded Limera1n on my media PC and plugged in my iPhone there, ran Limera1n without issue, and am still able to sync with my Mac. Easy enough.
from my experience an hour ago. go the limera1n route. greenpois0n caused me grief trying to jailbreak.
Seems like the Mac version wouldve been the logical one to work on next, but if the linux version came out that quick, hopefully we an have a Mac version tonight sometime!
I understand that, what I don't understand is why they bothered releasing what is essentially the exact same thing, except packaged differently, and from the looks of it so far, worse. I'm all for saving exploits and ensuring that the community can enjoy jailbreaks in the future, what I don't get is why CDT seems to be engaging in what appears to be the same type of behavior that geohot was accused of - seeking attention.
Just my opinion, but if I had to guess as to how things went down, it went like this: Geohot told CDT about limera1n and asked them to hold off on their release. Was his timing bad? Yeah, undoubtedly. He should have told them a week ago, before they ever announced an ETA. CDT swallowed their pride and delayed the ETA in favor of saving a good exploit, and then after limera1n was out and working perfectly, they got butthurt decided they wanted a piece of the pie as well, and said, "Hey, don't forget we're still here, look at our wonderful tool! No it's not SHAtter, it's geohot's exploit, just packaged differently! Give us attention too!" and released the current GP, which IMO has no reason to exist.
Either way, I don't care. I'm all for diversity. If limera1n was still plagued with bugs, I would applaud CDT for taking the initiative and fixing the situation. But the general consensus seems to be that limera1n RC is rock solid, whereas GP has problems. And GP still doesn't have a mac version, so until they do, there's really no benefit to using their tool.
Just my $0.02
EDIT: I may be wrong about this if there's some other way that GP differs from LR. But AFAIK they use the same userland exploit to untether the JB, so if one gets patched, so does the other.
Does anyone know if the software (Limera1n vs GreenPois0n) actually matters when having issues with Cydia? I keep getting a Host Unreachable error message on all of my Apple devices when I updated to iOS 4.1 and jailbroke them with LimeRa1n. I didnt have those issues earlier in the day with the jailbreakme.com jailbreak.
quick question:
I am in middle of upgrade from 4.0.1 to 4.1 using tinyUmbrella..
Did i need to restore manually before starting upgrade
Or
When I clicked shift + Restore .. it first restored and then it will install?/
I am concerned about 500mb space which it eats up if u dont restore?

Since half the world is jailbreaking and installing package right now, those errors are just server overload, just be patient and try again
LOL....yeah, the "politics" are retarded, right? I especially liked the people who would jailbreak with this but when that came out they would restore and jailbreak with that instead of this. Imagine if there was a THIRD option! Holy crap, trauma centers wouldn't be able to handle the overload! Funny how some people get so worked up over something that no one even cares about at the time, let alone a day/week/month later. And they do it every time. They'll do it next time. Same people, same nonsense, same amusement. *squawk* he craves attention but he's getting none from me! *squawk* he craves attention but he's getting none from me! *squawk* he craves attention but he's getting none from me! *squawk* he craves attention but he's getting none from me!
At first I thought it was really asinine that people could be so ridiculous but now it's really funny. Probably because it's nice to know that, comparatively speaking, I'm a MENSA candidate with maturity to spare.
