Redsn0w 0.9.7b1 - Untethered JB of 4.2.1

[mortopher]

The beta of the backup untether is finally here! Please read the instructions carefully as it's not a simple click n go jb. Also, for now, the jailbreak is only for iPhone 4, iPad, and iPod Touch 4G and can only be run on OSX.

Update #1: We’re about to release the first beta using this new “backup method”, which redsn0w calls “Jailbreak Monte”. Here are some important points:

• This is a beta tester program. It’s not a general release! Things can go very wrong, so please don’t even consider testing if you have pictures or other media on your device that you haven’t backed up!

• For the same reason, please don’t participate if you rely on the ultrasn0w carrier unlock. Wait for the final version!

• Until we fix some sandbox issues with bluetooth, the bluetooth functionality is disabled.

• This very first beta1 is limited to iPhone4, iPad, and iPod touch 4G.

• Cydia must have your 4.2b3 SHSH blobs saved on file. (As we approach a general release, we’ll provide a way to let you use locally saved hashes too).

• You must already have the usbmuxd software installed and running on your Mac (this requirement will eventually go away too). The correct invocation of the relay is just as that page says: “./tcprelay.py -t 22:2222”.

Please leave all feedback in the comments below (we really need your feedback to help develop it into a stable release!)

Only the dev team know what kind of time frame they are working with.

MN said as soon as they get the bugs worked out through this beta testing it will be ported to Windows immediately.

Thank God its for the iPhone 4! Tethered jailbreaks suck because a lot of stuff from Cydia requires a reboot.

I have macBook Pro but have no idea what the last step means...or is..

If you dont know what that means you probably shouldnt be messing with this beta. Wait for a release that doesnt require that.
