Someone above was asking how to perform the jailbreak. If you go to Google and search for " jailbreak matrix" that site has videos showing how to do the jailbreak
 
Just thought Id mention this and I am not sure that its a issue. I went ahead and jb my iphone 4 with limera1n this evening and everything went great until I started it back up and went to download cydia. When I opened up the limera1n app it went into safe mode. What caused this, I have absolutely no clue! It might not be a thing wrong with it as I was able to install Cydia after a 3rd restart. Just thought Id bring it up, I went ahead and went back to 4.0.1 and will wait on GP
 
no issue for me. went quite smooth. i was on 3GS 4.0.1 jb and now on 4.1 under limera1n. no startup issue, no apple logo hang. cydia shows up for me. everything is working great.
 
How do you delete Limerain off your phone and when you do, is it completely gone or are there still traces somewhere in your iPhone?
 
Before I jailbreak, can I remove it later?

This might be a dumb question.

With previous jailbreaks, they could be removed easily by installing any Apple update.

But isn't Limerain supposed to be different? If I want to unjailbreak, is that possible?

Just open up the Limera1n app and select uninstall. Removes it completely.

*added*
Just so you know or don't get confused, removing Limera1n doesn't remove your jailbreak.

nub question but here goes:

since this is a firmware jb, does this mean that the phone is now permanently JB'd? meaning that from here on out we can safely install official apple updates when they come out? this can't be right but i heard this in the beginning.

It's permanently jailbroken right up to the point where you restore or update it again or the phone crashes.
 
JB mine last night, went pretty smoothly. I donated $5 to geohot, hope the rest of you are as well. :D
 
So...I tried to install limera1n and I got this message...

"You cannot open the application “limera1n” because it is not supported on this architecture".

Any ideas of why this message is appearing?

Thanks in advance!
 
So nobody here has lost their 3GS
capability since jailbreaking iOS4.1
on iPhone 4?
 
This might be a dumb question, but when I jb, do I go into itunes and start it up as a new phone or restore from last backup? Sorry if this has already been covered.

you want to restore to get all your old info back.. good luck.
 
Posted in another thread, but might get more luck here:

I jailbroke using limera1n and when I'm opening Cydia for the first time it says "Reorganizing... Will close automatically when done"... it's been doing that since last night. I can exit Cydia and all my icons are retained and everything, but everytime I go back and try to use Cydia, it gives me the same message.

Any help would be appreciated. =)

(What I'd like to prevent is having to restore, but I realize it might be necessary - anything short of restoring [is there a way to uninstall then reinstall Cydia?] would be appreciated though)
