iOS 4.2.1 GM jailbreak ready

**javiert30** · 11-19-2010, 08:08 AM

Today we broke the news about the release of iOS 4.2.1 GM for iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G, iPod touch 4G, 3G and iPad. Now you can use Redsn0w 0.9.6b2 to jailbreak all these iOS devices. Moreover I have collected the direct download links for iOS 4.2.1 GM to all above mentioned devices.

You have to note that Cydia doesn't work till now due to some issues on the private APIs used by Cyida which has been changed by Apple. Bud don't worry the developers has fixed these issues and it is only a matter of time as they are waiting for the iOS 4.2.1 public release. For now you can install jailbroken-apps via SSH - until we got the new Cydia version - as you have full root access on your iOS device.

STEP 1: Download redsn0w 0.9.6b2, iOS 4.2.1 GM and iOS 4.1 final version for iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G, iPod touch 4G, 3G (download links at the end).

STEP 2: Update to 4.2.1 GM firmware using the IPSW file you just downloaded via iTunes.

STEP 3: Launch Redsn0w 0.9.6b2, and Browse for iOS 4.1 firmware final version (NOT iOS 4.2.1 GM).

Don't update to beta, GM, or any other crazy named releases! Wait until an OFFICIAL release.

You have been warned !

Im talking about 4.2.1 GM jailbreakable that's the news, If you want news about the OFFICIAL release, you will wait. Let the people do what they want to do, If they want to jailbreak the GM they can do it. They dont need to wait for the OFFICIAL release just because you want to, who are you, Steve's son?

You have been warned!

But how do you install SSH, without cydia?!?! So you can get full root access...

Not sure it is allowed on this forum to link to a web page that has links to GM firmware...

What's the point? Without Cydia and updated mobile substrate apps nothing will work.
