These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 using Limera1n for Windows. Limera1n supports iOS 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, and 4.1.

**If you have an iPhone 3GS with the new bootrom there is a bug that still needs to be fixed. Please want until we remove this message before continuing.**

Remember: Do not update to iOS 4.1 if you need the unlock. Ultrasn0w does not support that baseband yet.

Open your web browser of choice and navigate to
http://www.limera1n.com. Click the Windows logo at the bottom of the screen.

Step Five
You iPhone will now be placed in recovery mode.

When Limera1n asks you to, release the power button.

As limera1n performs its exploit you will see the image of a lime raindrop on your iPhone.

Limera1n will let you know when it is complete.

Step Six
Once your device reboots you will see a new icon on the SpringBoard entitled
limera1n. Press it to continue.

Step Seven
Once Limera1n opens select
Cydia then press the Install button at the top right of the screen.

Step Eight
Once the
Cydia installation has completed you must reboot your iPhone.

When your iPhone has restart you can run Cydia. Let it do all the necessary updates then follow our
Unlocktutorial if possible for your device.

NOTE*: To remove the limera1n icon from your desktop you can install CyDelete from Cydia then use it to delete the application. Eventually this capability should be present in limera1n itself.

***A big thanks goes everyone who made this jailbreak possible.
