GeoHot Working on “LimeSn0w” To Unlock iOS 4.1

After the release of LimeRa1n, GeoHot plans to release a new utility for the iPhone dubbed LimeSn0w, a potential unlock for iOS 4.1 on the iPhone 4, 3GS, and 3G. The screenshot and video below shows the iPhone 3GS iOS 4.1 baseband 05.15.01 unlocked with LimeSn0w installed via LimeRa1n, the same way BlackSn0w was available via BlackRa1n.

When you update the iPhone 4 / 3GS to iOS 4.1 to jailbreak with LimeRa1n, it also updates the iPhone 4 baseband to 02.10.04, which is currently not unlockable at the moment. It would make sense for GeoHot to come up with his own unlock solution to help those who are waiting for an unlock before updating their jailbroken iDevices. Currently the domain https://www.limesn0w.com was registered by GeoHot the same day he registered limera1n.com for the limera1n jailbreak. Domain info for the LimeSn0w.com and LimeRa1n.com can be found here and here. The ownership of each domain leads us to believe that LimeSn0w will become a reality the same way LimeRa1n did. There is no word from GeoHot himself though at the moment.

For those of you who are unsure of whether this will be released, don’t worry. PwnageTool is said to be updated soon to support iOS 4.1 and will hep jailbreak the iPhone and iPod Touch on iOS 4.1 while preserving the baseband, thus enabling you to unlock your iPhone with UltraSn0w (the current unlock utility).

If you still haven’t jailbroken and don’t need to rely on an unlock to be able to use your iPhone, check out our guides on:
