Jailbreaking iOS 4.1

Today I was able to jailbreak iOS 4.1 on my iPhone 4. I used Geohot's boot rom exploit Limera1n. I was actually waiting for Chronic dev team's Greenpois0n jailbreak but Geohot, for whatever reasons he had, released his Limera1n jailbreak even if it is still in beta. This has caused the Chronic dev team to postpone the release of the Greenpois0n as they don't want Apple to be able to patch two jailbreaks at the same time. This has also made them angry at Geohot because apparently they think that Geohot's motive of releasing his jailbreak a day before the planned release of Greenpois0n was to steal the limelight from them.

Anyway, Limera1n was working well for me and I am now able to install personalized apps and configure my iPhone to my liking. The jail breaking process was a breeze.Just follow the instructions from the many blogs and sites that have also used Gehot's Limera1n boot rom exploit. And to think this jailbreak is for the life of the device as this can only be patched by Apple through releasing new devices. I hope it will stay that way.
