Jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 with Redsn0w and Guide to Fix iTunes 1013 Error

Accompany glide iOS 4.2.1, jailbreak tool for latest iOS began to appear. iPhone Dev Team just updated redsn0w jailbreak tool for 4.2.1 worked for iOS. Newer redsn0w is version 0.9.6b4 that can be used to jailbreak 4.2.1 iOS device. Jailbreak Tool is assembled based Limera1n Bootrom exploit, works of famous Jailbreaker Geohot.

But unfortunately jailbreak using the latest redsn0w previous jailbreak is not easy. You will need the intervention of a PC to boot the IOS device under jailbreak.
This jailbreak will 'disappear' if your IOS device is running out of battery or reboot. Of course you have to do the jailbreak again if the device you could die or need to reboot.

Jailbreak type is known as Jailbreak tethered. Interested in trying? Consider the steps IOS 4.2.1 Jailbreak below along with the video. For the record this jailbreak method only works on the iPhone 3G, iPhone 4, iPad, iPod Touch 2G (MC model), iPod Touch iPod Touch 3G and 4G.

This guide will help you jailbreak any device. However, let me first warn iPhone owners relying on Ultrasn0w unlock. An unlock hasn't been release yet for iOS 4.1 or 4.2 and it will be available only after Cydia has been updated to 4.2(in a week's time maybe). So at the moment you should refrain from upgrading to 4.2.1 and not use this guide.

The Redsn0w Jailbreak will offer a tethered or untethered jailbreak depending on the device you own:

• iPhone3G, older iPhone3GS, and non-MC iPod touch 2G: untethered jailbreak


• More recent devices (iPhone 4, iPad, iPod touch 4G): tethered jailbreak (meaning if your device reboots, you'll have to re-jailbreak)

Steps to Jailbreak iOS 4.2.1:

First update your iPhone to the latest firmware by downloading the IPSW file using direct download links here. Use the direct download link as you will require the IPSW file during jailbreak in the later steps.

Open iTunes and press Shift + Update(windows) or Alt + Update(Mac) and point to the IPSW file to update device.

Download latest Redsn0w for your operating system:

• Mac OS X


• Windows

Extract and run Redsn0w.

Click on browse and point to the IPSW file and hit Next. Once Redsn0w has prepared jailbreak data select "Install Cydia" and proceed with the onscreen instructions.

Hit Finish once Jailbreak is over.

In case your device falls in the Tethered Jailbreak category, you will need to repeat the steps with "Just Boot Tethered Right Now" selected. If you don't do this Cydia won't work yet. For Untethered devices, the magic is all done.

For tethered devices, it is a little exhausting to repeat this process every time the iPhone restarts but atleast we do have an early Jailbreak.

Jailbreak iPhone 3.1.3 5.12.01

Apple has released its iPhone OS SDK 3.2 Beta 4 for iPad which follows beta 3 released several weeks ago. The package contains both the latest build of the iPhone OS 3.2 for iPad, and the iPhone SDK 3.2, for iPad development.
There are still no reports of any added features in the beta 4 but as the iPhone OS 3.2 has just been released it will take some time for programmers to go through the update. The pattern of OS release is similar to that of iPhone OS 3.0 and indicates that Apple may release the firmware for new iPad on Saturday, April 3.

The release of iPhone firmware is somehow related to Dev team’s strategy to release its 3.1.3 baseband 05.12.01 jailbreak exploits. As Dev team has posted on its blog its suspicion over the Apple’s intention of releasing iPhone OS 3.1.3 and may have planned to flush out any exploits before launching a major iPhone OS update.
For iPhone 3GS users who have got their phone update to OS 3.1.3 may have to wait until iPad’s launch which coincides with the iPhone firmware 3.2 release.
