iPhone 4.2.1 Jailbreak Released

[CSP]

Been waiting for this for a while...

New Greenpois0n

I can confirm it works perfectly - it's EXTREMELY simple to do. Just make sure on Windows 7 you run Greenpois0n in XP compatibility mode.

Cheers!

My other half will thank you for this link. Looks like this version isn't tethered to PC whenever it reboots, which is the reason she gave up on jailbreaking it last time.

Doesn't work with older 3G phones for those who are interested. For those you can use redsn0w which is untethered as well.

Lol, that's the trouble with iPhone. So much easier upgrading, rooting and restoring on Android

So much easier upgrading, rooting and restoring on Android

Errrrr... Did you seriously just say that?

Watch this video and see if you still agree with that.

Errrrr... Did you seriously just say that?

errrrr what video? and what should I be comparing it to?

[CSP]

Link fixed.... My bad.

[vy_storm]

Yeah looks easy enough to jailbreak, except when you have un-jailbroken reverted back to stock and can't save any of the jailbreak customisations easily.... setting up each and every one is a PITA. Android is just a case of using titanium backup, hit restore after a new ROM is loaded and all done

The apple firmware upgrades and re-jailbreaking with iPhones just makes it so hard to keep up with the updates

[Trayner]

Yeh still cant cbf upgrading lol.
And it takes ahwile for all the jailbroken apps to get updated

what if ive already jailbreaked with redsnow (tethered) in iphone 3gs and updated firmware to 6.15 can i do this over the top because restoring the iphone isnt an option on such a high firmware

[vy_storm]

Pretty sure you can't jailbreak over jailbreak basically. You have to revert back to a clean firmware somewhere along the line.

ah think im stuffed then i jailbroke with redsn0w and updated the baseband to ipad 6.15 on my iphone 3gs.... if i am to restore my phone to factory it crashes because im one step ahead of the baseband from apple... ill just have to live with redsnows limitations for now me thinks

Finally able to setup a decent lock screen... (background image changes colour depending on time of day)

[Trayner]

what theme and app is that ?

[CSP]

It's called Slanted Lock. You also need Lockscreen Clock Hide and file:// for MobileSafari but that last one comes as part of the default Cydia install.

Here's the tutorial on setting it up:




Just changed my wallpaper to a permanent one that doesn't change. This is what it looks like now:
