Limera1n and iOS 4.2 on iPad

[Lael]

I have been using an apple iPhone 3G which is jailbroken with the help of the Limera1n. Even i will be purchasing a new iPad within a day or two. So far i have used iPhone 3G and found it quiet nice and hence i am wondering whether it can be used to jail break my Apple iPad too as it is now loaded with iOS 4.2. BTW i would also like to know how iOS 4.2 is how better , is it better than the previous version.

Only the Windows version of this software is available at the moment, but the one compatible with Mac OS X and Linux should arrive soon in the market. This tool does not work with just one click you need to follow the instructions that accompany it. That's the price you pay for a jailbreak impossible to stop precisely, there is no way to circumvent what Apple has been explored at this time.

Try the newer version of greenpois0n RC5 which is now available. This version fixes all the bugs which are found. However Saurik servers and chronic dev team is still saturated since you can not use the loader to install Cydia greenpois0n. However you can install using Cydia redsn0w by ticking the box "install cydia". You then keep your Jailbreak Untethered.

Most of the iPhone owners are quiet happy with the release of Greenpois0n. Since it allows most of the iPhone , iPad and other similar gadgets to untether the Jailbreak firmware 4.2.1. Other developers, however, certainly does not stand. It will soon be released with version 2.2 of Sn0wbreeze compatible for firmware 4.2.1. For those who do not remember, the peculiarity of Sn0wbreeze has always been to allow the creation of a custom firmware to be installed on the device then jailbreak.
