    Hi I was wondering if greenpois0n is safe to jb. Also how long does it roughly take for gp to work. Thanks.

    Hi what is meant by relying on an unlock? Does it mean a if you use a sim lock code?

    I have greenpoison on my iPhone 4 but I downloaded some stupid widget and my jailbreak is on safe mode all the time. I restart my phone but no luck in exiting safe mode. I uninstalled the widget and I still experiencing the same issue.
