With a Gs @4.1, 5.14.02 BB, I've tried with the latest redsn0w, but during the process, I stuck with recovery mode. Any idea how to get out this situation?

DIDITHU, you may not be going into DFU mode correctly.

Grewt work dev team, will be waiting for untethered for newer idevices

For anybody that's already jailbroken w/ 4.2.1 with b4, I just re-broke with b5 with no problems. Of course you have to reinstall everything (or restore Pkgbackup) to get all the current software back in-sync with Cydia's packages but it all seems to work just fine.

Yes. It does apprea that you get the new Cydia when you do this (that's why I did it to begin with).

YOYO and YMMV applies, of course.

my iphone 3gs: 5.14.02 BB, new bootrom

I have just gone through the whole redsn0w process, step by step through iclarified, Redsn0w finished and the phone started to reboot...

Problem: the boot is stuck on the apple logo and has the "loading" circle right in the middle of the apple as well(not moving).

I've tried rebooting it 2-3x now and it's still the same.

I've just done the "just boot tethered right now" and everything is working--> .
I suppose I didn't read that bottom of the list of steps.

I hope there will be an "Untethered" JB/unlock

UPDATE: when I use my volume buttons, something crashes and i'm forced into "safe mode"

[mobikob]

Can anyone confirm this working on 32gb 3gs with new boot rom.
I get unexpected error occurred immediately after the exploit begins.
Thanks

[Ginter]

I had alot of trouble jailbreaking in win 7, got it working and after getting annoyed by having to boot from redsnow for jb apps and Cydia I restored... Now my phone is all basic.. Just gonna wait for untethered.

Cydia is a lot better but don't expect a drastic change ! Some people are calling it "new" Cydia When it's just a tweaked version to work on 4.2 with a few touches here and there I jailbroke my sisters iPhone 3G with it and it's not different to me at all except faster " unless I got the old version still ?

[SnowLeo]

Wait so we cant get the updated cydia unless were on 4.2??

How to Download & Install New Cydia 1.0.3366-1 on iOS 4.1 & Older Firmware

[shinygerbil]

If you're comfortable with installing .deb files manually (I believe you can do it easily using iFile) you can get the latest version of Cydia direct from the repository: http://apt.saurik.com/cydia/debs/cyd...honeos-arm.deb

There's not really that much difference to be honest. The initial loading screen (where it says "Loading..." with a little spinner) is now on the regular grey-blue background rather than a black one. And loading changes was definitely faster. Other than that, no new features as far as I could tell.

edit: beaten to it I guess

[Simon]

Or you can just use the latest redsn0w to install it.

[Jahooba]

There's no way I'm doing a tethered jailbreak, but I'm excited for the Cydia changes. I'll be F5ing the MMI news forum until the article pops up!

If I install it via ifile will it automatically overwrite the old version?

Edit: worked perfect. So much for completely new UI.

I thought unteathered ipad was out yesterday?

[Dovecand1]

Iphone 3g:
Current:

Tmobile
FW 4.0.1
Baseband 05.13.14

I want to upgrade... to 4.2.

Do I have to update via iTunes to 4.2 first? Then use redsn0w? And if I do use redsn0w do I have to select the iPad ipsw or iphone 3g ipsw? (do they have to be in the same folder?)

Thanks for your help!!!!
