Chronic Dev-Team has released Greenpois0n to jailbreak iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS iOS 4.1. In this guide you’ll learn how to jailbreak iPhone 4, 3GS running iOS 4.1 with Greenpois0n jailbreak. Greenpois0n is available for both Windows and Mac OS X.
IMPORTANT
iPhone users: Installing iOS 4.1 on your iPhone 4 or 3GS will updated its baseband which is not unlockable ATM. So, if you depend on unlock you’re strongly advised not to go for Greepois0n or Limera1n and also avoid iOS 4.1. Wait for the PwnageTool update which will be anytime now.
However, iPhone 4 users can still update to iOS 4.1 without updating baseband using Tinyumbrella. Here is how to: update iPhone 4 to iOS 4.1 without updating baseband.
