How to Jailbreak (untethered) iPhone 4, iPad, iPod Touch iOS 4.2.1

2: We would need SHSH blobs saved for 4.2b3 (iOS 4.2 Beta 3). To verify, start Cydia and wait for it to completely load the main page. You should now see “SHSH: 4.2b3” on top as shown in the screenshot below:

6: Check mark “Jailbreak Monte (untether)”, “Install Cydia” if not already. Leave all others unchecked.

  1. Though it is an excellent news but there are lot of hidden blockers which yet need to be addressed before it can be used by a naive such as me. The current jailbreak disables BT, works only with Mac OS X, only works for the current models of iDevices (iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G, iPad).
