limera1n jailbreak released, greenpois0n jailbreak delayed

Jailbreak limera1n was released today for 4.1 iDevice users in what appears to be a contentious situation in the hacking community. Windows-only, the new jailbreak is not expected to work with Apple TV or debut on Linux and OS X for a bit.

The previously announced dev-team jailbreak, which was due out tomorrow, may be put on hold while the team works on revising their tools for the limera1n exploit rather than exposing multiple exploits that will quickly be patched.

Jailbreaking, while legal, is based on finding system weaknesses to allow hobbyists to inject code that will open their devices to full system read-write access. It is this full access that allows third party developers to customize the OS and install new applications and extensions.

Having looked forward to developing for Apple TV starting tomorrow, count me among the disappointed.

New Beta 4.1 Firmware - DO NOT UPDATE

How To Edit APN and MMS Settings On 4.0

UPDATED 6/28/10 with our fix in Cydia.

Add the source: http://beta.leimobile.com/repo/ Install the MMS fix and reboot your iPhone. You may need to enter your APN after the reboot. The latest redsn0w (0.9.5b5-5) http://is.gd/buMgi should fix any APN/MMS issues. If you are already jailbroken just rerun this but deselect Cydia.

Many people have been asking for the MMS settings to use for T-Mobile. This will work on all versions of the iPhone and any firmware. Whenever you restore your iPhone you lose the settings and since T-Mobile is not an official carrier in the US yet, you will have to manually enter these settings in.

First you will need to navigate to: Settings->General->Network->Cellular Data Network and enter these settings: (IF YOU CANT EDIT, INSTALL ULTRASN0W FROM CYDIA)

Once you are done just reboot your iPhone and MMS should be working. If they are not working correctly try these settings:

Reboot again and MMS should be working on your iPhone.

THESE SETTINGS SEEM TO WORK IF YOU HAVE JAILBROKEN YOUR IPHONE

Navigate to /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mms_override.plist on your iPhone and edit the file by pasting whats below. You can download a program like iEdit or ifile from cydia to do this.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WEBSITE FORMATS THE QUOTATION MARKS WRONG. You will need to delete then and manually retype them. We will have a cydia file up soon where you will just have to download the file from cydia and be done.
