The well known iPhone developer and hacker Joshua Hill of the Chronic Dev Team has provided an ETA for the arrival of updated GreenPois0n jailbreak tool for the newly released iOS 4.2.1 firmware. For those of you who don’t know, GreenPois0n is based on Geohot’s Limera1n bootrom exploit which has already pwned all current iOS devices for life. The only problem is that it is a tethered jailbreak, which means you will have to boot it into a “jailbroken state” using a tool like Redsn0w on every reboot.
Chronic Dev Team have lived up to their promise! The source code for Limera1n-based GreenPois0n iOS 4.1 jailbreak tool is now available publicly for download. You can use the source code under the terms and conditions laid down by General Public License (GNU) to modify the tool to your own liking, or even improve it for the betterment of the jailbreaking community.
Both the iPhone and Chronic Dev Teams have confirmed that their respective jailbreaking tools, Redsn0w and GreenPois0n are going open source, which means that the entire source code of the mentioned tools will be available to public for free. You can then use the source code to modify the tool to your own liking, or even improve it for the betterment of the jailbreaking community.
We all saw this coming ! The limera1n exploit based GreenPois0n tool has finally jailbroken the 2nd-generation Apple TV. Members of Chronic Dev Team posted an image as a proof, showing a custom loader with a background on the Apple TV, running iOS 4.1.

GreenPois0n took weeks upon weeks upon weeks of development and hard work from the Chronic Dev Team. The SHAtter exploit based tool was supposed to release today, but after the release of George Hotz’ Limera1n (which is based on a new exploit; pwns all iOS 4.1 devices), Chronic Dev Team had to make a very tough decision.
Okay take this news with a grain of salt, for we are not sure here whether this is just a rumor, or a real deal. In an unexpected turn of events, the lemon drop image on Limera1n.com is now pointing towards a image which is showing all iOS devices, including those which are not supported by the upcoming GreenPois0n tool as jailbroken.
