iPhone Dev team posted a quick reminder for all jailbreakers and unlockers as iOS 4.2 release is imminent:
By all accounts, we’re within a few days of Apple’s official public release of Firmware 4.2. Here’s what you need to know:What does this mean to you?
- Thanks to geohot’s limera1n exploit, and our original pwnage2 exploit, and @pod2g’s ipod2g-MC exploit, absolutely all devices at all iOS firmware versions are capable of being jailbroken.
- The untethered jailbreak of those very latest FWs and latest devices depends on @comex hacks. His hacks so far extend only to 4.1 and 4.2beta3. He’s working on a way to extend it to 4.2 and beyond. Just wait for him to work out his method.
- iPhone 3G and 3GS unlockers will be covered by our upcoming unlock. Stay away from any updates to Apple FW until our official release and you’ll be okay. Just stay away from all Apple IPSWs :)
- iPhone4 unlockers are not left out in the cold. @sherif_hashim has found some very promising avenues to pursue. Those will be explored as soon as possible after all the 4.2 madness.
- If you’re an unlocker, just stay where you are. Please, just stay where you are. Any mistakes you make now may be permanent.
- If you only care about the jailbreak and you’re absolutely sure you have your personalized 4.1 SHSH hashes, feel free to experiment but keep in mind that any mistakes you make may result in your losing pictures or notes or bookmarks that you’d rather keep. Honestly unless you love living on the bleeding edge, it’s better to just wait for official updates from Cydia/redsn0w/PwnageTool.
- Don’t buy or donate to any unlock or jailbreak scammers. Every legitimate solution you will find for unlocks or jailbreaks will be offered without an extended hand. That’s how this community works. It’s about freedom, not donations.
It looks like an untethered jailbreak is right around the corner. All X-Gold 608 devices (iPhone3G, iPhone3GS, iPad3G) will have a new unlock, and iPhone4 isn't too far behind... Please let us know what you are looking forward to....

iOS 4.2 is coming! Jailbreak Update!
little late read this a while ago
then why post at all, chris?
?????.... This whole jailbreak world has became too complicated, I felt like I was trying to read japanese..
Ferrigno- I do not mean this in an obnoxious way, but a good general rule is that if you don't really understand, DON'T do it. If you don't understand what it is you're doing, if you run into a problem, you won't be able to ask a question the "right" way so that others can help. That said, there are a lot of good resources right here in the TIPB forums, and the pros are usually happy to help. Good luck :)
Ferringo, since when has Japanese become complicated? It's certainly simpler than English...
Anyway there are a lot of versions of iOS out now, a lot of hardware revisions, and sim locked vs. unlocked phones - it can't all be explained in one sentence.
What about baseband?
@ Shiruba : not saying japanese is harder or easier than english, what i meant is that there are way too many things to consider when we want to jailbreak, I'd rather not to do it because I'm pretty happy with what I have no with my Iphone 4 but let's just wait what ios 4.2 has in store for us..
@ Kristen: " if you run into a problem, you wont be able to ask a question de right way so others can help"..
I dont really understand what you meant here, i have used jailbroken iphones before and I have owned all iphones but i have to admit that this whole jailbreak lingo really confuses me....
@Ferrigno, maybe this will help: http://forum.tipb.com/jailbreak-forum/200738-please-read-before-posting-...
Sweet. Can't wait for the new 4.2 unlock for iPhone 3G.
The Dev Team rocks!!!
i really never thinking about that point. but also i’m a real newbie about that
@ shiruba. Kanji IS difficult even for Japanese who start studying it before going to school. In the Western World, Romanized letters (the Alphabet) is used and not Chinese characters. Therefore Japanese is hard to read for those who haven't studied it. They don't even know there is: hiragana and katakana to go with kanji! And if you are Japanese and English isn't your native tongue thnx for replying in English. How nice this site accepts all nationalities unlike the nation of the rising sun which hates foreigners.
