Comex Confirms iOS 4.2.1 Untethered Jailbreak Release Before Christmas 2010

Comex of Spirit and JailbreakMe fame has confirmed that a more efficient userland-based untethered jailbreak method for iOS 4.2.1 will be released before Christmas 2010. This confirmation in fact came before MuscleNerd got a backup method to make jailbreak untethered on iOS 4.2.1


The iPhone Dev-Team has announced that they have successfully untethered the jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 for those with their 4.2b3 hashes saved.

MuscleNerd recently tweeted, Got "backup plan" for untethered 4.2.1 JB working (video coming up). Uses mysterious 4.2b3 hashes Cydia kept for you.

(It's a "backup plan" because comex is working on a more extensible one, but this method is also generalizable)

AND

The iPhone Dev-Team is working on a baseband downgrade method which will even work for those who updated to the 06.15 modem firmware.

MuscleNerd tweeted the following earlier today...

@Lezanz sorry still collecting data on that. But also working on a bb downgrade (!) method for those with unlockable bb

@idansc yes if the BB downgrade method works, it will work for 06.15 too.

This would be excellent news especially for those who upgraded to 06.15 for unlock and lost their GPS capabilities.

Great news, we all knew it wouldn't take the boys long to figure this out.
The baseband downgrade sounds awesome.
