    Default GreenPois0n 4.2.1 JB Activation question

    Hey, i want to know if GreenPoison Jailbreak for 4.2.1 can activate the phone aswell? i am little confused right now.. i have an iphone 4 iOS 4.1 jailbreaked and activated but not unlocked as there's no unlock for bb 2.10.04... anyway if i preserve the baseband and upgrade to 4.2.1, i don't need to activate it again right? GreenPoison Activates the phone automatically? i read on few forums that you need some SAM Card to activate the phone..

    P.S i don't have the original SIM Card...

    I had to use my AT&T SIM to activate my phone.

    Just run redsn0w 0.9.6rc8 on it first to jb and activate, then run greenpois0n after just to make it untethered. No need to use GP's loader to install Cydia again since you already did with Redsn0w.

    i can run GreenPoison jailbreak over redsnow?

    i have another question... suppose if i am already on 4.2.1 with baseband preserved 2.10.04.. now if i cook a custom firmware with redsn0w, i will lose my current bb as my would be updated.. is there any way i can preserve the baseband and hactivate it using redSn0w or anyother.. what about SnowBreeze? for greenpoison you don't need to cook a custom firmware.. it automatically jailbreaks your iphone not affecting your baseband.. now i'm stuck i need the solution because i can't afford to loose my baseband.

    Redsn0w doesn't create custom firmwares.

    Sn0wbreeze is buggy but you can try.

    Your baseband is 2.10.xx, what reason do you have to preserve it? It isn't unlockable either.

    If it's already on 4.2.1, if you for some reason don't want the 3.10.xx baseband, simply run TinyUmbrella's TSS server while restoring to stock 4.2.1 will preserve the baseband.

    That's the simplest route. I don't see a need for custom firmwares.

    maybe i'm wrong.. i got confused when i opened redsn0w and it asked me to select the corresponding IPSW for your current firmware..

    secondly i was asking about preserving baseband there are chances of 2.10.04 unlock.. i can't risk it by updating it to 3.10.XX.

    thirdly, I can run greenpoison on 4.2.1 redsnow jailbreak? it will easily overwrite it and make it tethered?

    It asks you for your firmware version so it knows which to jailbreak.

    The unlock will likely cover the newest baseband.

    Like I said, run greenpois0n after using redsn0w. It will make it UNtethered. Only run a jailbreak over another jailbreak in this circumstance. Usually it will not turn out right but in this instance, it is fine.
