Notes before you start [IMPORTANT]
"This is a beta tester program. Things can go very wrong, so please don’t even consider testing if you have pictures or other media on your device that you haven’t backed up!
Until we fix some sandbox issues with bluetooth, the bluetooth functionality is disabled."// DEV-team
If you rely on ultrasn0w unlock don't do this jailbreak
This is only for iphone 4, ipod touch 4th generation and ipad
How to do it
Step 1: Install iOS 4.2.1 on your device and jailbreak it(tethered) using my other tutorial
You must login or register to view this content.
step 2: Start Cydia and check that you have saved the SHSH blops for 4.2b3. At the top in the start screen of cydia you see wich SHSH blops you have saved, if you only have 4.2.1 stop here, if you have 4.2b3 keep reading, if you have 4.1 or lower downgrade to that and then upgrade to 4.2b3, save the blops and then upgrade to 4.2.1 and start over
Step 3: Start Redsn0w 0.9.7b4 and connect your iphone, ipod or ipad
Step 4: Browse for the 4.2.1.ipsw file
Step 5: Hit next. When you come to the next screen only select the "Jailbreak Monte" option, then select the 4.2b3 firmware and hit next.
Step 6: Make sure your device is both turned off and plugged in [it will also say this on the screen] before you click next. When you click next you are going to get your iDevice into DFU mode.
If everything works out you now have a untethered device on firmware 4.2.1
