Ever since Apple released iOS 4.1, many iPhone 4 owners have been eagerly awaiting the release of a jailbreak. It looks like the wait is almost over, as the Greenpois0n iOS 4.1 jailbreak is set to be released this weekend.
One of the Chronic Dev Team members, p0sixninja, has announced on Twitter that the Greenpois0n iOS 4.1 jailbreak will be released on Sunday, the 10th of October.
Things have progressed to the point where we don’t expect any more roadblocks. ETA for Greenpois0n is 10/10/10 at 10:10:10 AM
The Greenpois0n iOS 4.1 jailbreak is expected to be able to jailbreak all existing iOS devices running 4.1, and it is based on the SHatter exploit. This exploit is a low-level bootrom exploit, which means it targets the hardware level of the device, making it a more permanent and robust solution compared to software-based exploits.
What is Jailbreaking?
Jailbreaking is the process of removing software restrictions imposed by iOS, Apple’s operating system, on devices like the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. This allows users to install third-party applications, tweaks, and themes that are not available through the official Apple App Store. Jailbreaking can also enable advanced customization and functionality that is otherwise restricted by Apple.
For example, users can change the look and feel of their device’s interface, add new features, and improve performance. However, jailbreaking also comes with risks, such as voiding the device’s warranty, potential security vulnerabilities, and the possibility of bricking the device if not done correctly.
Why Greenpois0n is Significant
The release of Greenpois0n is particularly significant because it promises to jailbreak all iOS devices running version 4.1. This includes not just the iPhone 4, but also the iPhone 3GS, iPad, and iPod Touch models. The SHatter exploit used in Greenpois0n is a hardware-based exploit, which means it cannot be easily patched by Apple through software updates. This makes it a more reliable and long-lasting solution for users who want to jailbreak their devices.
So there you go, guys. The wait is almost over, and we can expect to see it released this Sunday at 10:10 AM. This release is highly anticipated by the jailbreaking community, as it will open up a new world of possibilities for iOS 4.1 users.

Update 11th October 2010
The Greenpois0n iOS 4.1 jailbreak has now been delayed because of the release of Limera1n by GeoHot. Limera1n is another jailbreak tool released by the well-known hacker GeoHot, who has a history of developing jailbreaks for iOS devices. The sudden release of Limera1n has caused the Chronic Dev Team to reconsider their approach, as they want to ensure that their tool is as effective and safe as possible.
