    Default iPhone 4, 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak?

    Hey guys, so i have an iPhone 4, which a couple of months ago i jailbroke using Limera1n, which was the easiest thing ever. now i then made the mistake of updating my software to 4.2.1 when it came out which obviously then undid the jailbreak. Now ive read its not possible to make an untethered break of the 4.2.1 software, but someone else on here said that it is....is there a way to jailbreak it?

    Yes you can do a untethered jailbreak but by a Mac for the moment not by pc

    Its a beta and i dont recommend using a beta unless you have experience and no what you are truly doing.

    If you do not need unlock, you have a Mac , have 4.2b3 shsh blobs and you have some kind of experience on iphone you can go ahead and try it with Redsn0w 0.9.7. Let us know of any problems you may face.

    Westerman is right. If you're a newbie, don't do it. Because it seems it's only newbies that run into trouble.

    No they fixed all this (except for the bluetooth) in beta 3 of the software. Go to blog.iphone-dev.org/redsn0w for more info

    Most of that has been fixed in the new beta
    But needless to say it's a beta there are more than likely still glitches stay away till a final release

    Needs a Mac if you wants early jb. Redsn0w is collecting feedback. If you don't mind the problems then do it.
