4.2.1 on greenpoison please help

**Alolo** · 02-04-2011, 11:15 AM

hello there
i have ipod touch running 4.2.1. the device is never jailbroken before. im trying to jail break it now using the greenpoisin that was just release today. i follow all the steps, the green poison app shows me that the jailbreak process is complete. but for my ipod touch i just stuck in the recovery mode, (where is shows me that i have to connect it to the itunes)

is there is any fix for this ??

Try doing a fresh restore first then trying again, make sure you use the updated version rc5-2

**Alolo** · 02-04-2011, 11:23 AM

so i get into the recovery mode and restore it through itunes and do the whole process again ?

and i meant it stucks in the recovery mode not DFU mode .. sorry for that

**Simon** · 02-04-2011, 11:34 AM

I would start fresh by restoring first like I said.

thanks alot ..i just fixed it by using rc-5 .. but what about Cydia .. cant find it :S

**Simon** · 02-04-2011, 11:51 AM

You have 2 options: Use the loader icon to install cydia (which could take all day) or install cydia with redsnow 0.9.6 b4 or higher

**Alolo** · 02-04-2011, 11:57 AM

aha .. is there is any guide for that ?? besides, redsnow 0.9.6 b4 woudnt effect the green poison jailbreak ??
sorry for asking alot

would that be a tethered jailbreak ?

**Simon** · 02-04-2011, 12:06 PM

It will still be untethered. See the info on it here: iClarified - Apple News - RedSn0w Can Be Used to Install Cydia Over GreenPois0n

Basically you are just using redsnow to isntall cydia for you. Greenpoison still does the untethered jailbreak.

**Alolo** · 02-04-2011, 12:19 PM

cool i understand this so far but i have to download 4.2.1 firmware then use red snow ?? cuz it shows in the redsnow that i have to browse for one for the process to be completed

**Simon** · 02-04-2011, 12:38 PM

Ya, you will need a copy of the 4.2.1 firmware.

**Alolo** · 02-04-2011, 12:40 PM

thanks alot ... only LAST QUESTION .. i just deleted the loader by mistake .. do i need it ?? shall i jailbreak again to get it or i just use redsnow to install cydia and thats it ??

**Simon** · 02-04-2011, 12:41 PM

Just use redsnow

**Alolo** · 02-04-2011, 02:33 PM

thanks .. i downloaded the firmware and opened redsnow .. all i have to do is select install cydia and that;s it right ?? im just afraid that i jail break it again with redsnow

becuase im entering into the DFU mode again .. is that normal ?

**Simon** · 02-04-2011, 03:28 PM

yes, thats normal

**Alolo** · 02-04-2011, 04:17 PM

Thanks .. Done :d

**Simon** · 02-04-2011, 04:23 PM

no prob

Does GreenPoison work for iPod Touch 2G models? I have firmware 3.1.2 and want to upgrade it to the newest one but only if I can jailbreak it.
