Dev-team and Comex has confirmed that untethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak will be out before Christmas 2010. First MuscleNerd came up with a video demonstrating untethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak on iPod Touch 4G.
According to MuscleNerd, it’s a backup plan for untethered iOS 4.2.1 Jailbreak because comex is working on a more extensible one, but this method is also generalizable. This method Uses iOS 4.2 beta 3 SHSH blobs Cydia kept for you.

Will love this one….guys
What is the meaning of UNTETHERED ?
Meaning that your device does not need to be connected to the computer to boot. Basically it means your i-device is independent of computer, and it can boot all by its lonesome self. Correct me if i’m wrong.
I want to make sure I’m reading this correctly, “*** This will jaibreak all iOS 4.2.1 devices UNTETHERED!” this includes iPod touch 3G?
What is so difficult to understand the meaning of “*** This will jaibreak all iOS 4.2.1 devices UNTETHERED!”
All means ALL including the iPAD, the iPod 3G etc. AAAAALL!!! 🙂
me too Ipad owner… sadly No- official person answers queries here 🙁
is your iPad capable of running iOS 4.2.1? if Yes, re-read the post 🙂
Ohhh….. I was nt saying fr myself buddy. I never see Mods around, thus the comment. i take it back now. 🙂 hope to see u around more buddy, as we are not experts here 🙂
iH is a one man show. that’s why i don’t bother with all those queries asking wot the post DOES explain.
hope you guys understand. 🙂
and I encourage everyone to help others while m away 🙂
¡Please, make it happen! 😀
So is it ok to upgrade from iphone 4 4.1 to 4.2.1?
i dont see anywhere in this article talking about iphone4, it’s been all about 3G,3GS, touch and iPad … they DO NOT WORK on unlock for iphone4, perhaps they just can’t unlock it but too shy to say it so
i believe that unlock for iphone4 on new baseband is just a myth, or it will never happen
there is no such thing as “NEVER”
ok, there’s no such this as “never”, but “gonna take forever”
Is it also work with iphone3gs?
Any progress?
thanks 🙂
