Now, Limera1n app should be shown on your iPhone's home screen. Limera1n will pwn your device forever now.
STEP 5: The jailbreak should be done now. Tap on the limera1n icon on your device and install Cydia.
IMPORTANT:You have to keep some points in your mind, first, Limera1n will not unlock your device (i.e. you will lose unlock if you upgraded to iOS 4.1 and used limera1n).
Second, Limera1n is not working with old bootrom devices and it doesn't support iOS 4.2 beta, Geohot is fixing the issues right now. Stay tuned.
Limera1n would mess up GreenPois0n jailbreak release as the teams don't want to give Apple two exploits. They would better save one of them to 5th-generation devices.
