Chronic Dev Team goes nuts... They say that Geohot's untether is based on comex's work, but is unstable... Might be smart to just wait and use Dev Teams's JB...

Trusted <removed old version> as the link was removed pending discussion. Not tried the JB myself. Users reporting some difficulties. It's not as easy as click a button and all is done. Talk of putting into DFU mode first, reboots/resprings, and the limera1n app installs Cydia.

THAT is a matter of much opinion and discussion. One camp says don't use it for those reasons. The other camp suggests the devteam are just bitter with Geohot for releasing, hence all the don't use it comments.

As always, you use a JB method at your own risk!

From Comex:

Fine, geohot's release now has my approval, because otherwise everyone would use the initial (pulled) broken version. Ugh.
I don't guarantee limerain will actually work, though. It also doesn't work on Mac/Linux... or iPhone 3G or iPod Touch second gen...

Yeah the download link has been updated on limera1n.com and it is 1kb different in size to the previous download.

tbh for the sake of waiting one more day, i think i will just wait, what is the point of potentially screwing up my phone all so i can JB one day early, I've waited this long, it's not going to kill me lol
