Use Redsn0wRC19 to jailbreak your iPT if your on iOS 4.1 or higher.
I know it sound crazy, but i did from start to finish everything goes smooth and at the end right after turn the phone back on there is no limera1n at all. reboot 6 times still no luck.
This is really strange Kong. Tell me your current firmware by using this guide.
hi, i try to download limera1n and get this. If you came here from the limera1n website be sure you aren’t blocking HTTP referrers. Some firewalls and browser plugins do this.
Go to Limera1n.com and click on Windows link.
