Comex Expects to Unlock Untethered Jailbreak Device After iOS four.three Firmware Unencumber?

January 3, 2011

After having introduced &#one hundred sixty;its iOS&#one hundred sixty;four.2.1 jailbreak &#one hundred sixty;untethered for Christmas for the ultimate on lengthen&#a hundred and sixty;at an unknown date, right here once more that Comex about him. The Italian site iPhoneItalia hacker contacted directly by mail order to know the progress of their work.

Just like Steve Job’s ones, I would like to really receive a short and direct answer to my question: your next tool will jailbreak ready for iOS 4.2.1 or the next iOS 4.3?

Comex replied:

Depends when 4.3 is out.

The email address of Comex as shown in the screenshot above seems authentic as he posted the same address publicly in a reply to a user on his Twitter account.

So as things stand now, the only way to get untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 is to use the latest version of Redsn0w 0.9.7, which requires you to have SHSH blobs of iOS 4.2b3 saved. There is currently no other way to get untethered jailbreak except for Redsnow. If you don’t have SHSH blobs of iOS 4.2b3 saved, you can use Redsn0w 0.9.6 which can jailbreak (tethered only) all iOS devices on iOS 4.2.1.

He will have to wait to have a jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 untethered, or even a jailbreak iOS 4.3 untethered. As a reminder, you can get a iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak untethered under certain conditions using redsn0w.
