Couple of days ago we informed you that Comex’s untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 on iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch may not be released before Christmas. But the good thing is the notorious iPhone Dev Team has made an announcement recently that they are planning to launch an updated version of Redsn0w jailbreak tool that implements the “backup plan” for iOS 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak for all iOS device over the Christmas weekend. However, before releasing the updated RedSn0w to the public, the iPhone Dev Team is asking for some help to check out the latest version of RedSn0w. The Dev Team has released the following statement from its official blog:
Over the Christmas weekend we’ll be releasing a version of redsn0w that implements the “backup plan” to the 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak. We’re seeking your help to test this redsn0w and find any bugs before we do a general release!
(If you have an iPhone 3G, or an old-bootrom ipt2g or iPhone 3GS, you already have an untethered jailbreak! Just use the latest public redsn0w.)
To keep things manageable, this will be a Mac-only test program. We also request that any volunteers *NOT* need the ultrasn0w unlock (in case things go very wrong).
Right now, the “backup plan” requires that you have the 4.2b3 IPSW on your Mac, and that Cydia has your 4.2b3 SHSH hashes. Please don’t pirate that 4.2b3 IPSW! (We’re also working on a way that this technique might apply to all those with 4.1 IPSWs, but that’s not the first goal right now.) If you fit all the above qualifications, please follow @redsn0w_testers ontwitter for announcements, and use the comments section here for feedback. Thanks very much for your help, and Happy Holidays!
As always, we’ll definitely keep you posted as soon as the new version of Redsn0w jailbreak tool has become available. Stay tuned.
