The iPhone Dev-Team has released a new version of redsn0w that can jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 and install custom bundles independent of Cydia.

Please note that this version of Redsn0w is meant for developers only and does not install the new version of Cydia. This version of Redsn0w is also tethered for newer devices and that means whenever your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch is dead or turned off it would have to be re-jailbroken again via Redsn0w.

If you’re on the road and your iPhone has to be restarted you will have to re-jailbreak it again and again EVERY TIME you shut your iDevice OFF or if your Battery Dies.

PLEASE CONSIDER THIS AN ADVANCED TOPIC!! It’s not meant for the masses because it involves rather nerdy things like command lines and tar files.  But for those who know how to use this new redsn0w feature, have fun! Read more…

In addition, this new version includes custom boot land recovery logos for the older devices like iPhone 3GS (old bootrom) iPod touch 2G (Non MC), and iPhone 3G.

This will let Windows users restore to a custom IPSW that were reated using PwnageTool for Mac. Up to this point only Mac users could create and restore to a Custom IPSW files using the PwnageTool but now with the released of new version of Redsn0w 0.9.6b2 you can restore to a custom IPSW file without upgrading your basebands.
