Even though Limera1n is a bootrom-level jailbreak you still need to backup your iOS 4.1 hashes.

Because the “untethered” part of this jailbreak comes from a userland hack from @comex, you should still backup your SHSH hashes for 4.1. Do this by either letting Cydia keep them (“make my life easier”), or using Tiny Umbrella. This way you can always come back to an untethered, jailbreakable 4.1 on your devices after Apple has closed their 4.1 signing window (they’ll close the 4.1 window once they push out their next firmware version). If you fail to do this and ever need to restore to 4.1 again, you can still jailbreak but it will be a tethered JB (you’ll need to connect to your computer to finish the booting process, each and every time).

You can backup your iOS 4.1 SHSH blobs without even being at 4.1 or being jailbroken by following the tutorials below:

Its soooo nice to have an iphone 4!!! Besides for yesterday when i used limera1n to jailbreak and did some rebooting to install some stuff via cydia, I can't remember the last time my phone went dead or had to reboot for any reason. Like after school every day i still have like 60% left on my phone. ITS AMAZING! I'll probably back up my blobs anyway tho

Meh, there are so many jailbreak apps not updated yet, i don't' want to upgrade... and i want greenpoison first too...

Honestly GreenPoison and Limera1n do the EXACT same thing!! Only difference between the 2 is that limera1n works on more devices. But i suppose if you REALLY want to use GreenPoison you can wait until the next iphone comes out. Thats when GP will be released if the exploit has not been patched.

Nope, Greenpoison will be released in probably just a few days, sure using the same exploit as limerain but unlike geohot the devteam are way better coders and test their stuff before releasing it... I rather have a nice coded stable program modify my device than a unstable alpha stage software
