    Default 3GS (Old BR, Tmobile) 4.0 -> 4.2.1

    Hey everyone, I've been out of the jailbreaking loop for a while. I have a 3GS on the old bootrom and unlocked (I use Tmobile) on iOS 4.0, I want to upgrade to 4.2.1 and unlock or preserve baseband if possible. I tried jailbreaking 4.2.1 on a 3G last month and redsn0w kept crashing so it was a total fail. Are there currently any solutions for my needs yet?

    you need a pwnage tool made custom firmware with no baseband update in it. You will still need redsnow after restoring to that custom firmware though to install cydia.

    I can give you a link to a custom firmware, but like I said you still need to use redsnow 0.9.6rc8 before and after the restore.

    You can use snowbreeze 2.1 to make one for yourself.

    I meant I used it for 4.0, but I'll backup my SHSH blobs in case I run into issues with redsn0w again.
