    Default Correct steps to upgrade from 4.0.1 to 4.2.1?

    Hello all,

    Was hoping someone confirm if I have my steps correct.

    Using Tiny Umbrella I was able to restore my I-phone 4 back to version 4.0.1 with the FW at 01.59.00.

    I want to upgrade the phone to 4.2.1. Here is what I hope are the correct steps:

    1. Use Redsn0w to get my phone into DFU mode.
    2. Download the official 4.2.1 firmware and follow Redsn0w's instructions.
    3. Open I-tunes and click on shift + restore and then chose the Custom firmware 4.2.1 file.

    At this point I am confused. Is my my jail broken now? Or do I need to continue onto green p0ison to truly unlock the phone?

    Any additional instructions would be appreciated.

    Thanks all,

    Eric

    No, Apple close that loop hole, your method only work with 4.1 , With 4.2.1 you will stuck at DFU mode.

    You need to download Custom firmware 4.2.1 firmware. Grab your SHSH blob for 4.2.1 now, few more days than you can't.
