Android – Iphone – Applications

Today, Redmond Pie reported on an interesting tidbit of news for those of you who have decided to wait it out for an untethered jailbreak solution for iOS 4.2.1. The Chronic Dev Team, the folks behind the popular GreenPois0n jailbreak tool, is actively working on an untethered jailbreak that will require no beta firmware.

As you’re no doubt aware of, the Dev Team has released a number of beta versions of their RedSn0w tool that is already capable of accomplishing the untethered jailbreak on iOS 4.2.1.

Of course, with that tool being beta, there are some caveats, such as the fact that official 4.2b3 firmware is required; that firmware is only available to developers…

Below are excerpts of the interesting parts from the Twitter conversation regarding greenpois0n:

One of the good things about greenpois0n, is that if the past is any indicator, multiple platforms, including Linux, will be supported in fairly quick fashion. This is great news for the jailbreak community, as the more options we have, the better.

What do you think? Excited about news?

One of the biggest reasons that I chose to stick with the tethered RedSn0w 0.9.6 release for my iPhone 4 is because of the beta version’s ongoing problems with Bluetooth support.

Up to this point, all of the beta versions of RedSn0w 0.9.7 — an untethered jailbreak released by the Dev Team — have thus far been devoid of Bluetooth capabilities. When using the beta, the Bluetooth option simply stated “Not Available.”

With the Dev Team’s latest update to the RedSnow beta, the Bluetooth hurdle has finally been eliminated, and now you can enjoy an untethered jailbreak with full Bluetooth support…

As with all versions of the RedSn0w 0.9.7 beta, you will need to have access to development 4.2b3 firmware in order to use this jailbreak. Unfortunately, there is only an OS X version of 0.9.7b5 thus far, and you can download it from our downloads section.

For your convenience, we have posted a full tutorial on jailbreaking your iPhone 4 running iOS 4.2.1 using the RedSn0w beta. Please keep in mind that this is still a beta jailbreak, meaning it is likely that you will still encounter bugs here and there.

One of the few big remaining bugs continues to be incompatibility with Skype; the app crashes as soon as you try to launch it. There are also reports of incompatibilities with iBooks.

Seeing as Skype is a heavily used app of mine, this is still a deal breaker for me. For those of you who are developers and don’t use Skype, RedSn0w 0.9.7b5 may be your ticket to untethered freedom.

What do you think? I’m still waiting it out…

Well, well, well. Look what we found while perusing MuscleNerd’s Twitter account… This could be an indication that prodigy iPhone hacker Geohot might be doing yet another come back, this time with an untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1.

This tweet was sent by MuscleNerd a couple of days ago in reply to someone telling him, Chpwn and others to stop all the drama. Now this could be MuscleNerd’s way of getting people off his back, or it could very well be the truth… Read More

Earlier today, the Dev Team released the beta version of their RedSn0w untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 (see our tutorial here). Like we reported, this untethered jailbreak comes with its fair share of issues, one of the most annoying being that some of the native apps would just crash.

While there are still a bunch of bugs to be worked out, the Dev Team updated RedSn0w to version 0.9.7b2, which fixes this issue where native apps like the app switcher or the iPod app would crash… Read More

The Dev Team released RedSn0w 0.9.7b1 this morning, an untethered jailbreak for iPad, iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4G on iOS 4.2.1. When we first reported about this updated version of RedSn0w, we advised you not to use because it is still in beta, and most importantly, comes with a few issues worth mentioning.

We still think that you should hold off and be patient. A more stable version should be released soon. In the meanwhile, if you are curious about what problems you might encounter after “untethering” your iPhone, here are some of the issues that have been reported: Read More
