Hey Guys, I have some good and bad news for all users who are waiting on Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 from Comex.

An iPhone Italia Italian site contacted Comex of Spirit and JailbreakMe fame to ask him about whether or not he is going to release his untethered jailbreak tool for iOS 4.2.1.

Comex’s reply was swift and simple, just like Steve Jobs normally does in his emails back to users. The news was quite shocking for those who are eagerly waiting for the Comex’s release to untethered jailbreak iOS 4.2.1.

He is going to wait for Apple to release the next firmware update to public before releasing his tool. Read more…

These are instructions on how to quickly boot your tethered jailbroken iPhone using RedSn0w for Windows.

In my previous article I told you guys that the iPhone Dev-Team has updated RedSn0w to easily boot devices that are running a tethered jailbreak.

The iPhone Dev-Team has updated RedSn0w to easily boot devices that are running a tethered jailbreak.

New Redsn0w 0.9.6rc7 will help you boot your tethered jailbroken iPhone, iPad or iPod touch quickly, bypassing some of the screen that you will normally see when using Redsn0w for iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak.

We’ve updated redsn0w to include “one-click” support for those of you running the tethered 4.2.1 jailbreak. Using command-line arguments, you can now bypass the screens you’d normally see as you use redsn0w to “Just boot tethered for now”. Read more…

As promised, iPhone Dev-Team had delivered the new and updated RedSn0w 9.7b4 this morning… The Redsn0w 9.7b4 has been released and it removes the usbmuxd requirement to untether your jailbreak.

Unfortunately, this release is Mac only and can only be used by those with their iOS 4.2b3 SHSH blobs saved. A Windows version will be released soon.

The fourth beta is now available (testers ONLY please!). Starting with this version, redsn0w no longer requires you to install and run a separate program for the usbmux (this was a non-trivial procedure for many). It’s okay to keep that program running if you normally use it for ssh anyway. Read more…

RedSn0w .9.7b4 will be released today to untether your iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak without the need for usbmuxd which is much easier than using the Terminal, Commands, etc.

This untether is a ‘backup plan’ from the iPhone Dev-Team. It requires access to the iOS 4.2b3 firmware and your iOS 4.2b3 SHSH blobs saved.

Currently, the untether is Mac only but the next update will bring Windows support. According to the latest tweet from Dev-Team, they will be expanding the Redsn0w into Windows with the next update (Hopefully) Read more…

Just a quick heads up! Redsn0w 0.9.7 beta was out yesterday to bring untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 but some of our readers has reported that usbmuxd process  is not working with them.

Also Windows users were left behind and couldn’t convert their devices to untethered jailbreak.

Though, the iPhone Dev Team is working hard on releasing new betas so in a new tweet today confirming that Redsn0w 0.9.7b4 will incorporates usbmuxd so you shouldn’t worry anymore. In the same tweet, the iPhone Dev Team has confirmed that after finishing this task, the next version (Redsn0w 0.9.7b5) will include the Windows version. Read more…

The long-awaited RedSn0w untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 was released earlier today by the iPhone Dev Team. As we mentioned before, it is still a beta version, which means it is very unstable and causes a few noteworthy bugs.

We’re aware that some of you are true dare devils so we thought it’d still be a good idea to post a guide on how to untether your iPhone. This step by step tutorial will show you how to untether your iPhone 4.2.1 using RedSn0w. This only works for the iPhone 4, iPad, and iPod Touch 4G…

Note: You will need a Mac to use this tutorial, this currently does not work on Windows machines.

These are instructions on how to untether your jailbreak of iOS 4.2.1 using the iPhone Dev-Team’s ‘backup plan’ method on Mac OS X. Read more…

The iPhone Dev-Team has released a beta of their ‘backup plan’ untethered jailbreak. Currently the beta is only for Mac users and is limited to iPhone4, iPad, and iPod touch 4G.

Since Comex didn’t finish the Untethered Jailbreak in time for Christmas the iPhone Dev-Team came out with their “backup plan” (Redsn0w 0.9.7) for untethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak. The just released beta version of Redsn0w will enable you to jailbreak (untethered) iPhone, iPad and iPod touch on iOS 4.2.1.

The Redsn0w 0.9.7 jailbreak tool has been updated yet again. This time fixing even more bugs, specifically the ones related to non-GUI programs which handles media content like the embedded videos in iTunes.

Comex has tweeted something very interesting, It looks like the untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 might be as simple as installing a package from Cydia over your existing Redsn0w tethered jailbreak – Yes, you don’t need to restore or re-jailbreak your device.

Comex: it’s probably going to be a Cydia package. if I can get it to work.

When someone asked Comex “what do you mean by that”, Comex replied: Read more…
