(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:

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"

Does GeoHot's Exploit still work on 4.2.1 but Tethered right? Sn0wbreeze saves your baseband right so you can unlock it with UltraSn0w.

do you want to jailbreak an ipod 4g with 4.2.1 firmware?

Yes, geohotz exploit will be patched with the 5th gen devices, but it can't be patched for the devices out today

All I want to know is, if your still Untethered if you saved your SHSH Blobs on 4.1

I saved my 4.1 SHSH Blob just in case there wasnt an untethered version for 4.2.1

If you have the bloops, downgrade to 4.1 and jailbreak it untethered using Limera1n or greenp0ison

Beaut, it worked
Shame i managed to **** it up the first time round and loose everything though xD

Man that sucks you didn't have a back up of it?

Hey you want me to make a video on how to do it?
