(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1

My first jailbreak was using this program and on this firmware with my Iphone 4, hope you all enjoy.

To clear some things: This jailbreak support iphone 4 3GS 3G and ipod non-MC Model. This jailbreak is untethered for some idevices and tethered for some, heres the list:

Untethered
Iphone 3GS 3G and older ipod touch models
Tethered
4th generation devices (ipod touch 4th gen and iphone 4)

Tethered means that you have to connect the phone to your computer every time you turn it off or needs to reboot it you have to connect it to the computer.

These are the files you need:
Redsn0w 09.06.b4:

The 4.2.1 .ipsw firmware for your device: (you ONLY need the one for your device!)

Ipod touch 2G: You must login or register to view this content.
Itunes 10.1 [go to apple.com and download]

1. Start itunes 10.1 and have it running in the background
2. Start Redsn0w
3. Hit browse and browse for your downloaded .ipsw file
4. Hit next and it will prepare the jailbreak
5. Select install Cydia and press next
6. This is a page that tells you to make sure your Idevice is plugged in and turned off
7. Now it's work time! Whene you press next you have to get ready and hold the power button for 3 seconds. After that press the home button without releasing the powerbutton and hold them both for 10 seconds. Thene release the power button but keep holding the home button for 15 seconds. The instructions also comes up on the screen. This is called putting your device in DFU-mode.
8. If done correctly Redsn0w will recognize your device and the jailbreak begins, go grabb a sandwich, and when you come back, you will have a jailbroken Idevice!

Notes:
If Cydia doesnt open, reboot your device and it will be working. If you have tethered jailbreak you will have to do these jailbreak steps again to boot up, but instead of checking "install Cydia" you check "just boot tethered now"

I hope an untethered version is released for the iphone 4 soon..

If you have a mac I can make you a tut on it. If your on windows you have to wait untill the real release (the one for mac is beta) or wait for apple to release there new firmware and then comex will release hes tool

Thank you it worked!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I'm on windows, if I had a mac I would have untethered redsn0w, I heard greenpois0n windows untethered is coming out soon though hopefully.

Sorry to say but greenp0ison will be tethered for 4th generation, but ther is a rumor that geohot has an update that will give you untethered for 4th generation, it will be called rubyra1n if it gets released
