Geohot just released Limera1n, to get Chronic Dev to “do the right thing”. It is currently only available for Windows with Mac and Linux support coming soon.

Chronic already aren’t happy and it seems Geohot is using an unstable untether.

geohot is using an unstable untether very much against the wishes of @comex @iphone_dev and @chronicdevteam

To get it go to http://www.limera1n.com

UPDATE:

The website now says “Download link pending discussion” perhaps Geohot is conversing with Chronic Dev? More updates as the story goes.

Geohot has said in IRC NOT to use the beta, and beta 2 is coming in 5 minutes. Reports are coming from users that it is failing on MC models.

UPDATE 2:

The link is back up (now beta 2)! With comex giving his approval of Geohot using it… to a degree.

Fine, geohot’s release now has my approval, because otherwise everyone would use the initial (pulled) broken version.  Ugh.

UPDATE 3:

MuscleNerd has confirmed SHAtter will be held back

SHAtter will be held back now, so it’s not the worst possible scenario.  Who knows, maybe SHAtter can even be improved

Geohot has also said to expect a Mac version tomorrow.

Do NOT upgrade to 4.0 Beta 3 [Updated]

Just a quick note, iPhone OS 4.0 Beta 3 has been pulled form the Apple Developer site, this is because of “flash rom” overheating, I urge you

Do not upgrade to 4.0 beta 3.

Wait for Apple to reupload beta 3 and download as appropriate.

Seems all is not as bad as first thought, rumours were circulating that it was overheating, turns out it is a problem in the SDK. Sorry for the alarm guys.

iPhone OS 4.0 Beta 3 Released

The beta is available to members of the iPhone Developer Program, I would like to take the time to remind you of our rules on discussing the iPhone 4.0 beta here. This post will be updated with the new features found as people install it.

Read more to see a list of new features we’ve found in the Beta 3.

Native (but primitive) SMS on iPad3G

Just a day after the iPad 3G has been released in America, MuscleNerd has already cracked out how to send primitive SMS messages on it’s 3G network using AT commands. Messages.app doesn’t currently work on the iPad, so this will have to do for now, but I’m sure he’ll work it out.

Why Spirit is delayed.

There are many questions as to why Spirit has been delayed, hopefully this will clear it up. It is so that you have time to back up your 3.1.3 SHSH signatures, as soon as Comex releases the Spirit jailbreak there is no doubt that Apple will release a firmware upgrade that patches it (as it is in userland). For more information go here.
