iPhone Dev Team recently released the latest version of Redsn0w, which is the Redsn0w 0.9.7b1, that serves as the back-up plan for the iOS 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak. This latest version of Redsn0w can be used to jailbreak iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch 4G with iOS 4.2.1. However, it is important to note that the Redsn0w 0.9.7b1 is only for beta testers as there are still some known issues that need to be addressed.

Go over the complete information provided by the iPhone Dev Team before trying out the Redsn0w 0.9.7b1 on your iDevices.

* This is a beta tester program. It’s not a general release! Things can go very wrong, so please don’t even consider testing if you have pictures or other media on your device that you haven’t backed up!

* For the same reason, please don’t participate if you rely on the ultrasn0w carrier unlock. Wait for the final version!

* Until we fix some sandbox issues with bluetooth, the bluetooth functionality is disabled.

* This very first beta1 is limited to iPhone4, iPad, and iPod touch 4G.

* Cydia must have your 4.2b3 SHSH blobs saved on file. (As we approach a general release, we’ll provide a way to let you use locally saved hashes too).

* You must already have the usbmuxd software installed and running on your Mac (this requirement will eventually go away too). The correct invocation of the relay is just as that page says: “./tcprelay.py -t 22:2222”. If the relay isn’t installed or running correctly by the time the redsn0w ramdisk has started, you’ll need to restore to stock FW again to try it again. Please test it beforehand to save yourself some time!

It is also important to note that jailbreaking your iDevice may void its warranty so please proceed with caution and at your own risk. It is always a good idea to take a backup of your iDevice, refer to this post for more details.

Please note that these are some of the known bugs:

* Task switcher causes Springboard crash (temporary workaround is to use SBSettings process list)

* Bluetooth currently disabled due to sandbox problem

Check out if Cydia has saved iOS 4.2 beta 3 SHSH blobs, you may launch Cydia and wait to load the main page. You should see SHSH: 4.2b3 on the top of the page.

The news was already out that the new jailbreak solution for iPhone 4 will come out very soon. This particular jailbreak solution is also meant for iPod Touch and iPad using the iOS 4.1. The new jailbreak solution that will hit iPhone 4 users is GreenPois0n by the Chronic Dev-Team. If you are familiar with jailbreaking, then you know that GreenPois0n is the same tool that previously jailbreak for the iPhone OS 3.13 and for iPad S 3.2.

Just a week after the release of Apple’s iOS 4.1 and it seems like iPhone 4 jailbreak is on the way. A scoop from one of the members of Chronic Dev-Team said that the new GreenPois0n works beautifully with the iPhone 4G but it has to be done on the framebuffer code. More updates will be out in the public in a few days.

Chronic Dev-Team confirmed that they are working very hard on the new jailbreak and is almost ready to be launched. You can follow the team in Twitter to be updated on the progress of the project. With the new jailbreak solution, you will be able to do what you like and install different applications to your various devices designed and manufactured by Apple.
