Tutorial: iOS 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak with Redsn0w 0.9.7b5

Only works for iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch 4G

Remember that the iPhone 3G and 3GS with an old bootrom already have an untethered jailbreak for life, therefore only the 3GS with a new bootrom is left out

It is only for Mac, there is a problem with the Windows version, which works only with hard disk and not with RAM and it takes a long time to patch the kernel, therefore it will not come out until it is fixed.

NOTE: it is recommended to do a clean restore (set as new iPhone) before doing the process

You need:

Have your device with iOS 4.2.1 and jailbreak tethered

You can follow this tutorial to do the tethered jailbreak if you don't have it yet.

Redsn0w 0.9.7b5 (download it here)

Firmware 4.2.1 of your device (press here)

The SHSH of iOS 4.2b3

Firmware 4.2b3 of your device (we cannot give it to you here because it is illegal since only developers should have access to it, do so at your own risk)

Tutorial:

Open Redsn0w 0.9.7b5
Select firmware 4.2.1


Press next

Select Jailbreak Mount (untether)

46122 500 Tutorial: iOS 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak (Mac)


It will ask you for the iOS 4.2b3 ipsw, select it:

Connect your iPhone, turn it off and follow the steps to put it in DFU

    I have marked install cydia and jailbreak mount and it has left me perfect
    all the best

  4.   Ruben said

    Well, he has told me that I do not have the shsh saved on my server and he has given Monte Error ...

    Any solution?

  5.   cisco said

    the mobile came to me with 4.2.1 and I have a Mac
    In Cydia I only get shsh 4.2.1
    I suppose that without 4.2 b3 there is nothing to do, but where does that come from?

  6.   rakeliL said

    One thing for people who have just bought an iphone 4 and don't have the 4.2b3 shsh… where can you get it ???

  7.   jose garcia said

    I have a question, regarding the 3rd generation ipod'S touch that will happen (talk about MC models)

  8.   Jon said

    Good afternoon GZL, please have if you guide me ..
    1st / I have a 3GS with new Bootrom, in firmware 4.0.1 (05.13.04) and with jail untethered, with JailbreakMe, can I go to 4.2.1? and how would it look?
    2nd / also a 3G with old Bootrom in the same firmware 4.0.1 (05.14.02) and with Jail intethered, I can go to 4.2.1 and how it would look, as this is slow.
    Thank you.

  9.   Alex said

    Well, it does not start me.
    I am doing the Jailbreak, the image of Moving Applications has already come out and the apple has remained on the screen for more than 30 minutes. This looks bad.

  10.   fernando said

    The unthetered jailbreak means releasing the iPhone4 to put it with the company you want… I live outside of Spain and I have the iPhone4 orange xr I want to free it to be able to use it with a card from another country… what can I do?

  11.   Xavier said

    Hi, the ios 4.2.1b3 can be downloaded from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GW8I4JHO (It is direct download. I hope it helps you!

  12.   rakeliL said

    And Xavier, if I have it downloaded, what happens is that I just bought the iphone 4 and the shsh of 4.2b3 is not saved ... the ishshit saves it for you ???

  13.   iPhone 4 said

    I manage to jailbreak but without shsh from 4.2b3, I get the white cydia icon, I jailbreak again but I put the option just boot tethered right room and then the cydia icon appears.
    I enter cydia I install the updates and then I install mywi it restarts and then it stays forever with the apple and it does not always respond like that.
    Do I do something wrong?
    I would appreciate help. Greetings

  14.   cisco said

    I understand that the shsh of 4.2b3 is required

  15.   Francisco said

    For when an untethered jailbreak for my iphone 4 and with windows ¿! ??! ¿?!? ¿!

  16.   Diego said

    The same question as Jose, what about the 3rd GENERATION IPOD TOUCH? Does this jailbreak serve ??

  17.   noiser said

    (I install mywi it restarts and then it stays with the apple forever)
    ps: it's because you have it tethered and you have to use the option just boot tethered right room

  18.   XaviBDN said

    Oooh!… So easy !!!… And it doesn't take dragon dust, nor a tear from the eye of Mordor to do it?… Simplicity… ¬¬

    So without the SHSH of the 4.2 b3 it can't be done, right? .. and the users of the 3GS New Bootrom that? .. to buy an Android? ...
    Where is the Universal Jailbreak for all devices and forever that they announced? ...

  19.   Marchelo said

    Seeing all this I reaffirm myself not to jailbreak it ... what a pain in the ass, and if they also give us two stones for Windows, what a desire ...

  20.   jujomase78 said

    The steps are very simple, but I have the problem that the ipad appears pineapple and is installing bundles all the time. to someone else it happens. In redsnow it remains in the phase "waiting to send jealbreak mount files". In the end restart and apple forever

  21.   Gustavo said

    Well I tried it first on my iPad and I had to do it twice, but in the end it worked.
    Then on the iPhone 4 he went to the first. I have noticed that it takes less time on the iPhone and that it consumes a lot of Mac resources but everything works perfectly Bluetooth, multitasking and others ..

  22.   graphic design said

    With respect to the 3 gb «8g» ipod, that is .. MC models (I am a carrier of this one), I suppose that with redsn0w it will be impossible because it uses an exploit that never worked in our model, we will have to wait for another jailbreak (also, before putting this one that has errors, I prefer to have him imprisoned hahaha)

  23.   oslen said

    @Gustavo I have a couple of questions for the iPhone 4.
    1st What version of FW do you have? Do you have 4.2.1 or 4.2b3?
    2nd If you had or have 4.2.1 How did you do it?
    Thanks in advance.

  24.   gustavo said

    Oslen, I had the ios 4.2.1 tethered already installed, as the tutorial indicates, simply download the 4.2b3, (use Google), open redsnow 0.9.7.5b it will ask you for this FW and continue as usual. It will take a while, the iPhone will restart, the typical drawing of the hard disk will appear, then many code entries and finally the pineapple running. This restart and the phone as you had it, without more the only thing that now is Untethered. All the best

  25.   nothing said

    @@@@ Please could you add the 4.2b3 firmware part to the tutorial. If it is still possible to install it and remove the shsh, the link to this firmware and with that redsnow it would be necessary to jailbreak the beta.

  26.   Reuben D. said

    I have heard that there are some minor problems with the bluetooth.
    Can someone who has the untethered jailbreak tell us if they have noticed something strange?

    Saludos y gracias

  27.   Micael said

    It's not that I'm an expert on this and I'm not sure whether to jailbreak or not being the geohot style of those automatics, if I'm wrong I'll lose the apps on my device or the apps I had in cydia .. oh and the jailbreak is the good right? is that it gives me roll to do it, I mean if it is like the type limera1n?
    And something that does not go here, which would seem like a top 10 or top 20 (depending on the proposals) of iPhone apps, I know there are thousands of tops like that, but I mean one that always remains on the home page of the web , or that it is constantly updated to see every day which are the essential apps for readers, I would love a post like this ...

  28.   pablon said

    Because they don't read before asking… those who ask if it works on 3Gs old boot or new boot, ipod 3G and others… IT DOES NOT WORK… read well… it says only for iPad, iPhone 4 and iTouch 4G… I don't understand why they keep asking…
    For those who complain saying nonsense like "Where is the Universal Jailbreak for all devices and forever that they announced? ..." I remind you that the jailbreak is ... as well as for 4.1 ... in that firm comex I found a way to do it untethered in a «simple» way, in 4.2.1 it was not so ... if they don't like it, they get to work ...
    It breaks my balls sovereignly how comfortable that from home they complain about this, that it does not come out for win, that you need the shsh of 4.2b3 and others ... if you do not like burn your head to find a solution like these chabones do, that even in the new year they were working ...
    Who did not have the 3.1.2 with jailbreak attached and did not die? we stayed much longer and no one was complaining ... be patient and don't screw around and in any case if you want to complain, do it on the dev team blog ... this is not the place to complain ...

    Forgive the risqueness in some things but it really bothers me to read people who simply expect others to do things and so they all complain because it is tied up or because it requires this or that ...

  29.   pablon said

    And the shsh that you don't have, you can't remove them ... at least for now ... because what is done is a copy of the digital signature that apple makes to the firm, and since apple is not signing it to beta 3 they will not be able to take out ... in short ...

    IF THEY DO NOT HAVE THE SHSH 4.2b3, THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN THEM BY ANY MEANS, at least for now

  30.   Gustavo said

    I think many of you have the doubt that you should install. The only thing you have to know is that you have to have the Fw 4.2.1 tethered and simply use the 4.2b3 to make it untethered with Redsnow in no time the beta version will be installed. All the best

  31.   I NEED HELPAAAAAA said

    I have version 4.1 and I need to release the iphone4 since it is orange and I currently live abroad and I want to put the microsim card from the country where I am living .... What should I do? Please if someone can help me ...

  32.   angelx25 said

    Hello everyone, I have the custom firmware for 4.2.1 for the iPhone 4, whoever wants it, contact me, it is not fake, I have the bundle for 4.2.1 for the pwnage tool, now the bad thing is that it does not activate the phone, that is, if you have unlock this retains the baseband but you must activate it by putting an activation sim or a sim from the original operator enter cydia and unlock it with ultrasn0w and then put the sim you want those who have the iphone with the original operator has nothing to lose this does not update the baseband and it has cydia already pre-installed there is no need to use redsn0w i have iphone 3G iphone4 and blackberry onyx I know of those devices you can ask me lol if they have problems.
    Last news and geohot the iphone jailbreaker has jailbroken the PS3 latest version 3.55. Ask me

  33.   franetti said

    At what point in the process does it ask for the shsh file?

  34.   muatac said

    hi richie, did you have the shsh for 4.2.1b3 saved? And some other problem because if I will not do the same process as you, since I have the shsh saved the free iphone by imei, and what interests me the most is that the airvideo works with the 2g appletv because the rest is the same, right?

  35.   fernando said

    Angeltornadia and I sent you an email to the hotmail that you post xra see if you can help me ... I await your answer and thank you very much in advance!

  36.   Gonzalo said

    @Gustavo Did you have previously saved the SHSH of 4.2b3 ?? Because my iphone came directly with 4.2.1, I was able to jailbreak it, tethered of course. But now when trying to do it untethered when it asks for 4.2b3 it recognizes it well xo in the middle of the process it tells me every time I have tried that I need to have the SHSH saved in the cydia servers ... Of course, something impossible to have if I cannot do a downgrade to 4.2b3 ...

  37.   rakeliL said

    Hello angeltornadia, I have also sent you an email. I await your answer and thank you very much

  38.   gustavo said

    Hi Gonzalo. Yes, I already had the SHSH from 4.2b3. These are automatically saved when using Tinyumbrella to save the SHSH from FW 4.1. I do not know if from 4.2.1 it also saves them automatically but tries to use Tinyumbrella and then confirms in Cydia if you have the 4.2b3 ones, just when it loads over the Cydia icon. I hope to help you a greeting.

  39.   Richie said

    Well, something FLIPPER has happened to me.

    I had the iPhone 4 with 4.1.2 + jaibreak + Appsync. I have updated via iTunes to 4.2.1 but I got an error 1600, I used RecBoot to exit Recovery mode and the iPhone was updated to 4.2.1 BUT WITH ALL THE PROGRAMS INSTALLED (obviously, the ones that needed Appsync did not work). Then I have used RedSn0w with the Install Cydia and Jailbreak Mount options and have done the whole process. Once finished I have installed Appsync from Cydia and everything works perfectly. I HAVE NOT HAD TO RESTORE OR THE COPY OF ITUNES. Great!!.

  40.   Gonzalo said

    Thanks for your answer Gustavo. It seems to me that I will have to jo ... Because cydia only saves the SHSH of 4.2.1 and the same with Tinyumbrella ...
    Nothing, there is no possible solution if the iphone comes from the factory with 4.2.1, because to downgrade, the same, we would need the SHSH of the previous version that we want to restore ... So I have no way to get the SHSH of 4.2b3 no way…
    Too bad, I'll have to take the tethered jailbreak until something new comes out ...
    Thanks again!

  41.   gustavo said

    Well if it's a bit of a pain in the ass, but hey, you know that as long as you don't run out of battery and you're not at home, it will work perfectly for you, hehe. All the best

  42.   oslen said

    @Gustavo, thanks for the reply

  43.   rafael said

    @RakeliL: For those who do not have the shsh saved, forget to save the shsh you have to use tinyumbrella, but now it is too late to save the shsh from 4.2b3, it will only save the shsh from 4.2.1.
    @Iphone 4: Why are you doing the tethered steps not the untethered, so every time you have left in the apple you have to pass the ultrasn0w again.
    @Diego: Hello it does not work for previous generations of the A4 processor only works for those devices.
    @ I NEED HELP: Unfortunately there is no way to free the baseband of the ios 4.1 on the iphone 4 to keep waiting, I have 1 sleeping a long nap already.

  44.   Richie said

    Let's see. I have used TinyUmbrella and Cydia to save the SHSH but in this process it has not asked me for any of that. I don't know if it will automatically get them from where TinyUmbrella saved it.
    On the other hand, I have never understood why Cydia and TinyUmbrella tell me that I have the SHSH of the version following the one installed. I mean that I have never installed 4.2.1b, the highest version has been 4.1.2 on iPhone and 3.2 on iPad, and in both it appears that I have the SHSH of higher versions up to 4.2b3.

    Maybe you don't need to have the SHSH from 4.2b3 but only the IPSW. I am not very clear about it.

  45.   jail breaker said

    I had to do the tethered jailbreak first for me to leave ...

    but I'm installing everything and it's perfect

    cydia running….

    thanks thousands !!

  46.   mac mini said

    @Iphone 4
    When you give it just boot tethered you are making it jail but tethered and when you restart it it will stay in the apple until you start redsonw again (tehered)

  47.   juanjo said

    I have a little question. I have downloaded the ipad 4.2b3 out there, but when it comes to doing the untethered it hangs on me. It is because the ipsw beta does not belong to my device ?, that is, with this firm beta it can, or should be, one of its own taken from our shsh. Thanks.

  48.   bemboman said

    I have already done it three times and it hangs on the block and I had to return with the redsnow beta 8 to tethered, for now it does not work congratulations to those who do.

  49.   rakeliL said

    In redmondpie I read that greenpoison does not need the shsh blobs of ios4.2b3 ... Thank goodness

  50.   texas said

    As I said on more than one occasion, I am still struck by the amount of derogatory, distasteful and absurd comments that are read around here.

    I am also struck by how little the web team does for their work and, far from thanking them for their effort to bring fresh news, to answer questions from which we all benefit, they lash out at them.

    But if this has me hallucinated, more hallucinated I have to be REQUIRED to the creators of the Jailbreak tools, that if they take it out for Windows, that if they take them out for this or another device, etc etc, but ladiesssssssss, those who both They ask ,, what the hell do they do for the community of people with iphone ????? Yes, they do one thing, sovereignly touch the eggs of people who work selflessly so that all of us enjoy what they contribute, discredit those who spend hours working to get a Jailbreak or a liberation and that once they have it they make it available from all of us for FREE, which already has merit.

    A lot of useful people from the «nine» generation land in these parts, it is a pity that this is not a forum and they can be thrown out on the street, which is what they deserve, because they are simply a few useful ones that in most of the sometimes they don't even know how to write.

    Let's see if they want to read a little bit, just a little bit and so they stop asking stupid things, so they will know what the Jailbreak is and what the release of an iPhone is that is not the same at all no matter how much they go hand in hand Let's see if they learn the most basic things about the iPhone, that is learned by reading in the forums, dedicating hours to it and not coming here to put comments in bad taste, assholes and typical of young children.

    Tomorrow I try it.

  52.   franetti said

    After the whole process you have to activate it with iTunes ???
    Greetings.

  53.   gnzl said

    A bit harsh Texuas, but you're right, those of us who have come for a long time (you and I know each other from the todoiphone forum) all the stupid questions like "where do I download shsh from" bother us.
    .
    If everyone used google to find out what is tethered / untethered, what is a shsh or that kind of thing, you would make our work much easier for those of us who work here, especially for me who is in charge of the jailbreak and it is the most complicated.

  54.   Tito said

    I have iPhone4 - 4.2.1 and I had saved the SHSH with tinyumbrella, but the fact is that I don't know how to use it.
    Thanks for the contribution, but I think the guide is wrong since it does not explain in the steps that the IPSW 42b3 is going to ask you ... and of course ... you have already turned off the iPhone.
    I hope it is solved

  55.   gnzl said

    That is what I mean, TITO says that he does not put in the tutorial that asks for the 4.2b3 firmware, he puts it clearly at the beginning, he says why we cannot supply it and he also puts in the steps at which time he asks for it.
    the problem is NOT READING.
    .
    So much absurd criticism takes away the desire, really. Few thanks I read for preparing a tutorial EVERY TIME a new jailbreak appears.

  56.   April said

    Hello,
    Thank you very much for the information. I have wanted to test the procedure to see how it works and it gives me an error. He says: «transferring control to jaillbreak (…) giving up» and he gets caught there. Surely I am very dumb for this, but I have done:
    1.- update to 4.2.1 from iTunes
    2.- make jail tethered with redsnow (it did not install cydia)
    3. do jail unthetered with redsnow (here I get the error this, at the end of the process)
    I have the required ispw, the blobs of the 42b, iphone 4
    I think the error could come from the first tethered jail, which is not good for me. Which redsnow option should I select? I have even tried doing it with the older version of redsnow.
    thanks for the patience

    1.    gnzl said

      you have to reboot the first time with redsn0w (in the jail tethered) that's why it's tethered

  57.   Juanjo said

    Poof, I hope not to offend after the last comments that I have been reading, but, given the number of people who read this website, it is logical that doubts appear. Those of us who know more or less, well, we defend ourselves, but perhaps some of those who see this website for the first time, perhaps do not even know how these little gadgets are turned on.

    In your place I would be very happy if people enter into debate, comment on their experiences and ask their questions. Without them, the www would not exist the same as a newspaper without readers.

    By this I mean that we have patience for everyone. And yes, the same is not appreciated for the great work you do in writing through comments, but surely each of us will appreciate them even if we do not leave it reflected, at least I do.

    Greetings and thanks to those who make this great website in a selfless way.

    1.    gnzl said

      That is what encourages me to continue, that I hang a jailbreak and I see that 2000 people download the necessary file, and although 100 complain here, I imagine that there are 1000 who get it and that they are grateful even if they do not say so.

  58.   majakuko said

    good, thanks for the always useful tutorials, say that the method you have put if it works, you only have to look for 4.2b…. And if it works, in fact I have it, the only problem was when installing installous (apart from the fact that it was difficult for him to put the repos, I do not know why) I did it from hackulo and from there cydia shows all the blank lists, it does not search it does not show anything, Enter by shh and delete the hackulo repo since from the iphone it did not leave and still cydia in white ... ..

  59.   April said

    Thank you very much, Gnzl.
    I have selected the option reboot tethered and it stays little bird.
    I have started over from scratch.
    1.- dfu mode
    2.- tethered reboot
    3.- untethered
    would this be the right thing to do?
    It does not give me any error in the first and second steps, but in the third, even though the pineapple comes out, it tells me that during the process on the iphone (black background, white letters). Is it because it always asks to turn it off and the jailbreak is lost? a mystery. anyway, thanks for the help, patience and everything. I will leave the iphone as it is, that I think I will be able to live for a while without sbsettings and without infinofolders (I already have the tremors of withdrawal syndrome, hahaha)

    1.    gnzl said

      APRIL, if the pineapple comes out it is because you have an iPhone 3G, then you do not need this tutorial, with any redsn0w 0.9.6 or 0.9.7 that you use your jailbreak will be untethered

  60.   esjosa said

    Hello, thank you very much, I tried it on my ipad and it is luxurious, tomorrow I will also do it on my iphone 4

  61.   April said

    Hi Gnzl,
    I have an iphone 4, is the ipsw that I downloaded incorrect? It's called iPhone3,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore, shut up, that's going to be it, I downloaded 4.1. silly of me, you can laugh. I'll try the good one. Thank you, thank you and thank you.

    1.    gnzl said

      the firmware you have is correct april.
      My advice is clean and official restoration and start from scratch.

  62.   April said

    I'll do that, Gnzl, thank you very much for your help and sorry for the inconvenience.

  63.   angelx25 said

    For those who wanted the custom firmware 4.2.1 it does not upload the baseband but by default it does not activate the phone. It already comes with the cydia installedhttp: //www.megaupload.com/? D = PMDPPW5C If you want the bundle of pwnagetool let me know angeltornadia@hotmail.com

  64.   save said

    He lets me do all the steps, until then he fletching shsh blobs and then he gets an error. Can somebody help me?

  65.   texas said

    I think it would be interesting for those of you who use this Jailbreak method to check that it works properly and any bugs that it may present, especially with GPS and Bluetooth (to do this, check that it works well when paired with the car's hands-free ) since in these two aspects, the Jailbreak for 4.2.1 was giving enough problems.
    It would be interesting if you comment here if it works well for you, especially in the two aspects mentioned, so readers can assess whether to carry it out or wait for a new version.

  66.   manuel said

    Hello, thanks to all of you who make this possible. I have done the tethered and then do the untethered, the whole process goes well until it hangs on "installing Bundles", it takes a long time like this. What I can do?

    I have done the whole process well, on a mac, the only doubt is that with the umbrella it tells me that I do not have the shsh, it is the only thing I am missing. I have the 4 shsh since I bought the Ipod touch 4 saved, but on a windows pc, the shsh of 4.0, 4.1, and the latter also, 4.2.1 and 4.2.b3. Does my problem have to do with this?

    Thank you all and I encourage you to continue although there is much ungrateful loose, there are others who are in solidarity and support as little as we can.

    All the best

    Hello, good night in Mexico, good morning in Spain.

    I have followed this issue of the Jailbreak for the iPhone 4 very closely in recent weeks (which is the model I currently have, with AT&T FW 4.2.1 and BB 03.10.01). There are things that I can't capture much because my latest iPhone (a 3G) I acquired directly from the Telcel store and I didn't need to do JB, so I got a little out of date, but it's not a big deal to understand the concepts and put on aware.

    The only thing that I cannot see in this last tutorial (which by the way, my respects for those who take the time to make us understand the other uneducated), is if it can already be unlocked (that is, if I can already use it with another cell phone company)?

    In advance, thank you very much for your eagerness to keep us updated and I look forward to your kind responses.

    Greetings from Mexico!!

    a question friends I have the iphone 4 with version 4,2.1 and baseband 03.10.01
    I miss the jailbreak and I want to release it to use with another company, it still cannot be released?
    I've had it for a long time since I can't use it as a phone ……… ..

    He lets me do all the steps, until then he fletching shsh blobs and then he gets an error. Has it happened to someone else and have they been able to solve it? Thanks for your love.

  74.   Gonzalo said

    @Juan Miguel, You have to read all the comments before asking because if we are not repeating the same doubts all the time ...
    What must happen to you must happen to me, and that is that we have not gone through 4.2b3, therefore it is impossible to have saved the SHSH of 4.2b3, necessary to turn the jailbreak into untethered ...
    Your iphone 4 would come with the 4.2.1 from the factory, so for now it's time to hold on and have jail tethered ...

  75.   juan miguel said

    Gonzalo I see that you insist too much and always reiterate that you have to read and google before posting, and I have, I may have missed some line of the 79 posts that currently exist, sorry if I have bothered you.

    Thanks for answering me.

  76.   Gonzalo said

    @Juan Miguel, Do not confuse me with Gnzl, this time it was not him who said it, if not me, another Gonzalo, although I think the same as him ...
    Anyway, I hope I have clarified something for you ...

  77.   George said

    The tutorial is 100% clear, I have done it, not without problems, but after three times in the end it got it perfectly and I already have my iPhone 4 with 4.2.1 and untethered.

    Thank you so much for the tutorial!!!

    Hello,

    I have an iPhone 3GS with 4.0.1 with baseband 05.13.04, how can I install 4.1 with jailbreak and activate it.

    Help me please.

  79.   Fran said

    If I had 4.1 and went to 4.2.1 through itunes, but didn't use tinyumbrella to save shsh, somewhere on the device are the shshs from previous versions saved? I have passed tinyumbrella and it only saves me the shsh from 4.2.1

  80.   Tito said

    Sorry I didn't read the tutorial well, I read the developer firmware 4.2b3 right and confused it with 4.2.1.
    Anyway, what happens to me is that I don't know if the 4.2b3 that I saved with the Tinyumbrella is worth it and how to do it? is it possible or is it for something else?
    Thank you very much.
    All the best

    Hello, thanks for helping us with the information on our iphone, I have a problem, I do everything in the tutorial but the redsn0w, does not leave the jailbreak mount files, does the process, the pineapple is caught and then the apple apple and it does not make me the unthernet helps thanks for your help, I have iphone4

  82.   texas said

    Answer for all those who ask if they can UNLOCK the iphone being its version of firms 4.2.1, the answer is that NO, all those iphones that are in this version and are from an operator (Movistar, Vodafone, Orange or another from another country) can be Jailbreked, but cannot be released for use with all carriers.
    As of today, in Spain, the iphones of the operator Movistar, those of Vodafone and Orange are only liberable by IMEI (after payment of the liberation), they cannot even be liberated by IMEI, regardless of the version of firms.
    For the release by soft there is still no approximate date, there are many rumors that if Gehort is with the subject, but nothing official, therefore there is no approximate date of the release.

    We must not confuse the Jailbreak, with the release of the terminal, they are two totally different things, although for some time they go hand in hand and to be able to release, first you have to do the Jailbreak always, but, that an iPhone with a certain version is Jailbrekeable, it does not mean that it is also releasable, in fact, the last releasable version is 4.0.1 and therefore 4.0.2, 4.1 and the current 4.2.1, as of today they are not releasable by soft.

    I just bought the ipad and it comes with firmware 4.2.1 but I have jailbroken theterting because I can't do the unthetering because I don't have shsh 4.2b3, I only have 4.2.1…. how can i get 4.2b3? Can I get it out of my iphone 4 to put it on my ipad or not? .... a greeting

  84.   texas said

    Virtual, you can't, the ShSH is specific to each device, that is ... the one on the iphone is only valid for your iphone, to be able to do it you would have to have had the ipad in a previous version, have Jailbreked it and have the SHSH of version 4.2b3 saved, something that cannot be had when our iphone or iPad already comes with version 4.2.1 from the factory, in a word ... anyone who buys an iphone 4, a 4th generation ipod touch or an iphone 4 and It comes with version 4.2.1 from the factory, to this day it has no possibility of doing a Jailbreak unthetering

    Hello, a question, I had 4.1 and saved the shsh with tiny umbrella, I have updated to 4.2.1 through iTunes and now I have the 03.10.01 baseband, can I do the jalibreak this ???

  89.   Joel said

    Can anyone share their iphone 3gs SHSH on 4.2b3? to be able to use this Jailbreak process? My iphone 3gs is dead 🙁

  90.   texas said

    Joel, just 4 post above yours I said this:

    The ShSH is specific to each device, that is ... the one for the iphone is only valid for your iphone, to be able to do it you would have to have had the ipad in a previous version, have Jailbreke it and have the SHSH of version 4.2b3 saved, something that does not it can be had when our iphone or iPad already comes with version 4.2.1 from the factory, in a word ... anyone who buys an iphone 4, a 4th generation ipod touch or an iphone 4 and comes with the version 4.2.1 from the factory, as of today it has no possibility of making a Jailbreak unthetering

    It is noted that for some people it is veryyyyyyy difficult to read the minimum

    Each SHSH is your own iphone and the SHSH of one iphone is useless for another, but it is not lost and if you had it saved on Surik's servers through Cydia or Umbrella, it will continue there.

  91.   juanfran said

    Hola!

    I follow the tutorial, that is, I update to the original 4.2.1 from itunes, I pass the redsn0w to it to leave it tethered, I have the necessary SHSHs, but the second time I pass it to leave it Untethered, it remains at 90% of the bar blue on the pineapple screen, after a while it restarts itself and is still tethered, as I see it is a failure that happens to more people, any solution?

    thanks!

  92.   iPhone 4 said

    Thank you for the comments that resolved my doubts. I already have the JB running but the only detail that is not going too well for me is WhatsApp, it is not going as well as it worked for me before, I do not know if there are more people who are the same

    hello texuas I see that you are an expert on the subject, I have an iPad with 3.2.2, I want to upload it to 4.2.1. Can you tell me step by step what to do to get it to 4.2.1. with jailbreak untethered, thanks in advance for your support

  94.   Danny said

    That the 3GS is jailbroken for life, could you explain how? Because I can't find in any post a specific topic that helps with that. Thanks.

  95.   Juanjo said

    For those who were left with the installation halfway, at least it has been solved for me by removing the Mac in WIFI Sync, what a trick, since it did not let me restore from Itunnes either. Goggling you can come up with all kinds of solutions. LOL. Greetings

  96.   texas said

    Hello Paul, I am not an expert as you say, I have simply been with the iPhone for 3 and a half years from the first 2G in 2007 to my current iPhone 4, I have gone from the firms 1.0.0 of my first 2G to the current 4.1 of my iPhone 4 and I say 4.1 because I have not updated it to 4.2.1 nor am I going to do it until there is a really stable jailbreak, it is the biggest problem of people, who throw themselves like crazy to update without calculating the problems they are going to have, I will upload it to 4.2.1 when the Jailbreak is in its final version, exit the beta and all the bugs are corrected and that my iphone 4 came to me in 4.0 (it is from June and free of origin, bought in France) and I have all the SHSH saved from Cydia, but as I say ... I'm going to wait. My experience is of years and especially of reading hundreds of hours in the forums, reading tutorials, one and the other, reading in English forums etc etc, it really is how you really learn.

    In your case, you must have the ipad jailbreked in 3.2.2, the ShSH saved, make sure you have saved the SHSH of the firm version 4.2b3 that corresponds to the 3rd Beta version of 4.2 the last beta called GM.

    Once you make sure of that, you have to restore it from iTunes (do not update it, if not restore it) once in 4.2.1 you have to Jailbreak tethered as indicated in the tutorial and later with the latest version of RedSn0w, you have to do the Jailbreak untethered, remember that you need the version of firms 4.2b3, in the comments there is a link to download it,

  97.   Aleks said

    I have an iPhone 3GS supposed to be with the old booth, checked several times, but after doing all the steps, the only thing I got was a tethered jb. Now when trying to perform the untethered steps I realize that Redsn0w does not show me this option. I do not understand why it does not come out. Anyone else has happened.??

  98.   eyyar said

    hello, tell you that there is a way to download ios or put the one you want without shsh, much easier and simpler and verified on iphone 4, 3gs and iPod, I have searched the internet for my form and I have not found anything about it, Could it be that I am the only one who knows? a greeting

  99.   texas said

    EYY, you say: tell you that there is a way to download ios or put the one you want without the need for shsh, much easier and simpler and proven on iphone 4, 3gs and iPod

    Well, it would be good if you enlightened us all and told us how to do it, because as far as I am, it is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE, to lower the firm from an iPhone 4 to a lower version, at least that iPhone if it came with that previous version and have the SHSH saved.

    In short, today it is IMPOSSIBLE to lower the native Firms of an iPhone 4 to a version prior to the one that has come from the factory, obviously the ones that came with 4.0 and we have been updating and we have gone through 4.0, 4.0.1 .4.1, XNUMX and we have the SHSH saved, IF we can download it to any of those versions (the Firms, because the baseband does not download)

    The problem is in the signature of the Firms, that Apple stops signing them and when you intend to restore from an external firs to iTunes, the restoration is interrupted and it is impossible to do so, unless, as I already mentioned, we had previous versions and we have the SHSH of those versions of firms loaded.

    Please, let's try not to confuse people with things that are not true, comments like that do not do any favors.

    After 24 hours with JB I can tell you my feelings.
    The JB did it without any problem following the instructions given here, it was easier and faster than I expected. The first thing I noticed was a loss of GSM signal, where before I had little coverage now I don't have and also the signal fluctuates a lot when before it was more stable. Bluetooth and GPS are working fine and everything else too, so I've tested for now.
    What I did not finish working, and this is where I ask for your help, is to install lockscreens. With Typophone 4 I cannot change the wallpaper image and I also have the problem of 88:88 on the hour, I have tried the solution given by the author of the topic on his website (http://angelman8.deviantart.com/art/Typophone-4-175481865) but nothing, the problem is not solved. And with Simple Sections Lockscreen the same thing happens to me as with Typophone 4, I can't change the wallpaper image and I also get a very strange point about the hour numbers. If necessary I will put some photos so you can see how things are.

    Sorry about the brick and I look forward to your help.

  104.   Enrique said

    The truth guys from ActualidadIphone do not understand your contradictions.
    You say that you do not put the IOS because it is illegal but you teach and you are lovers of the jailbreak, even in your terminals you have the jailbreak made. The jailbreak is synonymous, IN MOST OF THE OCCASIONS, NOT IN ALL, read well… NOT IN ALL, of illegality, of installation of UNPAID software, of IPAS… (Or is it that you have never installed pirated software on your terminals? ?? -Let me doubt it if you answer NO-).
    Or is it that you are hypocrites and you claim legality before the public but it is your houses (terminals in this case) you are illegal ??? or are you half legal?

    Smeared the finger, smeared the whole hand !!!

  108.   Javier said

    Acme what you have to do is enter the iPhone by ssh, go to / Library / Themes and in the themes you have on lockscreen, look for the file that will put wallpaper, you take the image you want as the wallpaper and that's it, I think that's the solution to your lockscreen problem.

  109.   Javier said

    Maybe it is a bit obvious but the photo you want must also be called wallpaper (or as it has the theme by default).

    Hello iphoners!
    I am new with iphone, but not with mac! I have my terminal 4 for two days and I would like you to help me orient me a bit with this jailbreak. I have searched millions of pages and it is not clear to me that I can do it safely in my version 4.2, without having further complications. In fact, I discovered this "pirate" mode because I want to remove the damn clock from the locked screen, but according to Acme it gives him problems! Of course it is a good idea, to be able to access unofficial applications, free and surely even more interesting than the official ones, but can someone tell me if I take a risk or wait a little longer ??? Thanks in advance guys !!!

  116.   xavi_fcb said

    I bought an iphone 4 about 2 weeks ago, I have been using it as it is and everything is great. The problem comes now, I have version 4.2.1 and I wanted to jailbreak, I found a tutorial on YouTube, very well detailed and with it, I made the jailbreak on my mobile, everything perfect but when I open the cydia, for the first time It asks me to select some options, between USER, HACKER, DEVELOPER (or something similar). Then select USER and continue forward, after a few seconds I get another text box in which I have to re-select an option out of three more, «Upgrade Essential» «Complete Upgrade» «ignore (temporary)». I select the first option and after 20 seconds I get the "Reboot Devide" sign. That's when the iPhone turns off, it reconnects (all alone) and it is as if everything works perfectly, but no, the cydia does not open and neither does the safari, it makes the threat as if it is going to open but nothing.
    I restored the iphone and did the same steps but in the second box I chose "upgrade Essential" and nothing, more of the same, does exactly the same, it does not work.
    Am I doing something wrong? Thanks a lot!!!!!!!

    Please, can you give me a tutorial to make the tetherd jailbreak other than the one I have used, since it doesn't work for me ... or simply if you can tell me why it doesn't work.
    Thank you very much.

    1.    gnzl said

      XAVI, google what is a tethered jailbreak.
      You have no problem, your jailbreak is like that.

  119.   Ivan said

    Xabi you have it well done, simply that the tethered jailbreak is like that, you can neither turn off nor restart the phone, if you turn it off or restart you must pass the redsnow to him again ... I hope it has solved your doubts

  120.   xavi_fcb said

    Let's see, the jailbreak has been done well, everything has been perfect, my problem is that I will not open the cydia! I have restored the iPhone and I have returned to jailbreak and again the same problem, I open the cydia, I supposedly do what I have to do (User… ..) and it closes. I can no longer open it again !!!! that's my problem! haha I don't know what happens that I can't open the cydia. Supposedly I can't turn it off, right? Well, yesterday I turned it off to see if connecting it to the pc again it would work well and what was my surprise, that the phone turns on well! it does not give me any ignition problem.

    1.    gnzl said

      Yes, the jailbreak has been successful, it is tethered and you have to start it with REDSN0W
      since you haven't done it, cydia or safari doesn't work for you
      when you start with redsn0w it will work for you.
      .
      The problem I have already told you what it is, that you do not read anything, and we get tired of explaining the same thing so many times, it is normal.

  121.   sweethearts said

    Xavi once you have done the jb you must open redsnow again and mark only the option just tethered boot and follow the steps.

  122.   xavi_fcb said

    Sorry for continuing to insist on the subject but it is one of two, or I am very stupid or I think you have not fully understood me.
    The cydia, now with its proper icon and everything (it is not blank), I managed to open it and choose the different options and everything, but it closed itself and no longer opens.
    What am I supposed to do with the redsnow ???
    Because if I have the jailbreak done, I can turn on the phone without any problem ???? is not supposed to not be able to start ???
    Thank you very much and I am sorry but I am the first that I would not like to have to ask so many questions.

  123.   Mery said

    I have exactly the same problem as Xavi, I have done the jailbreak correctly, when everything is done Ok I open the cydia, I indicate the option «USER» and then «Upgrade essential». Immediately afterwards I get the only option "Reboot device", when I click there the iPhone turns off and automatically turns on again just as if it were turning on normal, asking me for the pin and everything else. So in this situation it no longer allows me to enter either cydia or safari. Are you telling me that what I have to do is turn off the phone and plug in with resn0w ?? despite the fact that while I am starting the resdsn0w the normal iphone is plugging in?

    1.    gnzl said

      Mery and XAVI:

      1. connect iPhone to computer
      2. Turn off the iPhone
      3. run redsn0w
      4. load the corresponding firmware
      5. press only the option «Just boot tethered right now»
      6. follow the steps to put in DFU
      7. ...

      Why has it been turned on?
