What does it mean when people say "Tethered" or "Untethered" jailbreaks?

Tethered; if your device shuts down/you switch it off. You have to plug it back into a PC and re apply the JB. These days the JB's are 'one clicks' so its quick... BUT a pain in the ass! Like if it runs out of battery you can't just charge it via the mains, got to rejailbreak it. (you don't loose any of your jailbreaking stuff)

Untethered: Well the opposite, so you can switch it off and on just fine :)
 
The distinction is that with a tethered jailbreak if you reboot your iDevice you cant use it again till you sync it to your pc, untethered means you can use it right after a reboot, i might be wrong but i think thats the distinction.

According to a twitter post Limera1n is untethered on 4.1...

So now I'm confused...

Come 10:10am tomorrow morning... should I jailbreak with Greenpois0n or should I wait a day?
 
Ohhhh this thread couldn't have come at a better time... I'm getting seriously bored with my iPhone 4 and am missing Android's configurability... JB is the next step!

limera1n is unpatchable

For the iPad I guess it still works since its not that far though.

Ummm so thats unpatachable but i hear its a different thing from greenpoison.
Interesting. I don't need to JB anyway as my ipod touch 3g (on whatever version that is, is ok) and my iPad is fine - don't think a update would be worthwhile

seems fine to me and worked first time. had to restart to get cydia to show but that was it.

i think its geohot they have the problem with ! this explains it

The jailbreaking community has been inundated with drama in the last couple weeks. The Chronic Dev Team has been working on a jailbreak called greenpois0n which uses two exploits: a bootrom exploit found by posixninja and first exploited by pod2g called SHAtter, and a userland exploit which comex found. This allows the jailbreak to be untethered.

Many months ago, geohot found another completely different bootrom exploit but never released it. In fact, he said he left the scene.

The Chronic Dev Team were prepared to release their jailbreak tomorrow when geohot suddenly told everyone yesterday that he was releasing limera1n (his bootrom jailbreak) after the Chronic Dev Team released theirs -- Monday. In the mean time, comex gave geohot his userland exploit which made on the grounds that geohot would not use it for limera1n.

Geohot decided to use the userland exploit anyway and released limera1n today. It was released initially with a lot of bugs and then patched with a beta2 shortly ago. This is confirmed to work. Please do not use mirrors of the jailbreak, it was released initially before it worked entirely. Always get it from thelimera1n website.

This means the greenpois0n jailbreak will probably not be released until after geohot's exploit is patched in new bootrom presses. In fact, there stands a chance that Apple will discover and patch both vulnerabilities.
