TinyUmbrella Updated To 4.1.13 for iOS 4.2b3 SHSH's - iOS 4.2 Release Is Imminent, Save Your SHSH Blobs Now

Since the new GreenPois0n RC5 iOS 4.2.1 Untethered Jailbreak tool by Chronic Dev Team is out all iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch owners / users can now jailbreak their devices even on the latest iOS 4.2.1

For those of us iPhone 4 users who are still on 4.0.1 or 4.1 and still would like to keep our unlock the basebands must remain at the same version or the iPhone will be bricked.

If you will update your iPhone to the latest iOS 4.2.1 your basebands / Modem Firmware will be updated as well and you will not be able to unlock your iPhone for the use on other carriers such as T-Mobile, Fido, Rogets, etc.

This tutorial will show you how to upgrade your iPhone 4 to 4.2.1 without upgrading its baseband using TinyUmbrella.

Please Note: This ONLY Works with the iPhone 4!

Step One
Download TinyUmbrella from here Also make sure to download the iPhone 4 iOS 4.2.1 which you can find here. in our Firmware Download Section. (NOTE: Please make sure you download the right file/firmware for the right device)

Step Two Double click the downloaded TinyUmbrella.exe file. If you get a Windows Firewall notification, check both boxes and click Allow Access. Step Three Make sure the device is connected, and Umbrella has detected the type of device and its firmware. **If you haven't already saved your iOS 4.2.1 SHSH blobs then click Save SHSH. Make sure they successfully save before continuing. Step Four Hit Start TSS Server and make sure you receive no errors. Once The TSS Server is "running" successfully, umbrella will kill iTunes. Leave TinyUmbrella Open. You can double check to see if the TSS server is running under the Log tab. If you do receive an error, DO NOT continue. Your restore will not work if the TSS server cannot be started. Step Five Open iTunes by doubling clicking its icon in the dock. Hold down the Shift key and click Restore Select your iPhone 4.2.1 firmware file from the popup window that appears and click Open. Click Restore to begin restoring your device. Step Six iTunes should give you error 1013. This is what we wanted, as it notes the baseband has not updated :) Click Ok and close iTunes. If you get a 16XX error then try entering DFU and go to step 5. If your restore does NOT end in a 1013, it means your baseband was updated. This is likely because you did not have the TSS server running OR you updated without TinyUmbrella OR you are working with a device OTHER than iPhone 4. Step Seven Place your iPhone into DFU mode by holding down both the Power and Home buttons for ten seconds, then release the Power button and continue holding the Home button for another 5 seconds.
