PwnageTool 4.2 With iOS 4.2.1 Untethered Jailbreak Released!

The iPhone Dev-Team has released PwnageTool 4.2 to create a custom IPSW that can perform an untethered jailbreak on iOS 4.2.1.

-
What's in a name? Well in the case of an HFS volume name on iOS, an untether exploit — as the Chronic Dev Team revealed last week with an untether for the 4.2.1 jailbreak, which had previously been a tethered JB for most recent devices since 4.2.1's release in November. With their permission, we've incorporated their 4.2.1 "feedface" untether into today's PwnageTool 4.2. This means iPhone unlockers can safely restore to a custom 4.2.1 pre-jailbroken IPSW and retain their current baseband and unlock.

PwnageTool also supports all the other 4.2.1 devices other than iPod touch 2G:
● iPhone3G
● iPhone3GS
● iPhone4
● iPhone4-Verizon
● iPod touch 3G
● iPod touch 4G
● iPad
● AppleTV 2G

PwnageTool also includes two very recent improvements to the 4.2.1 JB: iBooks was just fixed by @comex and @pushfix last night so that it works as intended on DRMed books, and the wifi problem on AppleTV 2G was fixed by @nitotv, @DHowett, and @saurik. Both of these fixes will also be available in upcoming Cydia package updates, so if you're already jailbroken you can wait for those updates rather than restore and jailbreak again.

The various components to the 4.2.1 untether (including a second exploit involving Mach-o headers) were worked out by 0naj, posixninja, and pod2g, and a nice writeup by 0naj is available on the wiki. The actual injection method uses geohot's limerain exploit for most devices. And even though 4.3 is just around the corner, the exploit used has already been closed in the latest 4.3 betas, so it made sense for the 4.2.1 untether to be released when it was. It also appears that a security researcher named @i0n1c has a 4.3 untether ready for when Apple releases the final 4.3 FW, so it may not be a long wait at all with 4.3!

You can download the new version from here(mirror). We will be updating our PwnageTool tutorial shortly!

iPhone Dev-Team Ports Monte Untether Back to iOS 4.1 SHSH Blobs

The iPhone Dev-Team has successfully ported their Monte untether back to the iOS 4.1 kernel.

Previously to untether your jailbreak using Monte you needed to have the iOS 4.2b3 SHSH blobs saved which was developer only. Now you will only need your iOS 4.1 SHSH blobs. The team is also working on porting Monte forward to iOS 4.3...

Ported Monte back to 4.1 kernel (SHSH blobs). Next step: porting it forward to 4.3beta!

MuscleNerd notes that the beauty of Monte is it doesn't expose any new exploits :) It makes the entire "wait until next FW" concern moot. Think of Monte as a "green" jailbreak. It recycles (for example) 4.1's exact JB exploit on 4.2.1 :) Waste no exploits.

We'll let you know when RedSn0w is updated with the new capabilities.

The Chronic Dev-Team is also packaging up an untether for iOS 4.2.1 that will not require SHSH Blobs.

Stay tuned for more information.

iPhone Dev-Team Updates RedSn0w to Fix Bluetooth Issues With Untether

The iPhone Dev-Team has updated RedSn0w to fix Bluetooth issues with the 'Backup Plan' untether.

The fifth beta is now available (testers ONLY please!). Bluetooth is now working (and any sandbox-related issues should be resolved too). Please do not pirate the 4.2b3 IPSW! Only those enrolled in the iPhone Developer program have legitimate access to that IPSW.

There is actually a Windows version of beta5, but it’s excruciatingly slow compared to the Mac version because it’s forced to use files on your hard drive instead of RAM while it’s processing the very large IPSW images. It really is very very painfully slow, so we probably won’t be releasing it for testing purposes unless it can be sped up somehow.

You can download RedSn0w .0.7b5 from here. You can find instructions on how to use this version of RedSn0w to untether here.
