New Ios 4.2.1 Jailbreak hits the shore..

[Demandarin]

Not being a hacker, (no offense intended) I'm not even sure of what a reboot is. I've had my pad since September and all I've had to do is push the home button and unlock it. What am I missing?

Im not a hacker either, How do you turn the ipad off?

By slamming it on the ground..lmao
Juss hold down top button till power down screen pops up wit slider. Slide it, then it powers off.

You don't have to be a "hacker" to reboot your iPad lol Any more so than you need to be a mechanic to turn your car off. I'm sorry-this hit a funny bone

I've seen nothing(so far) in the update that would be worth going thru the trouble of the tether.
Is this the consensus of most JBers?

Agreed. Apple's update doesn't do as much for me as staying where I'm at jailbroken on 3.2.1. I did try the betas and all GM's. Not impressed.

That WAS funny! I didn't mean to imply that I didnt know what a reboot was...I've been computing for 20+ years. It's just that I've never even turned my iPad off in the 3 months I've had it. I leave it on all the time and charge it at night.....even tho I sometimes use it all night.

You like to use the big Fonts, huh?

What happened to the jailbreak thread mentioning pinkra1n? Cant seem to find it. Supposedly its an untethered jailbrake. Hopefully that youtube vid wasnt fake.

Whoa there bud. Lay off the big fonts. It was just the way you presented it that caused the confusion.

Pinkrain? Never heard of it.

I was going crazy thinking I had imagined the whole thing!

It was a fake / scam. Not a real jailbreak. The posts were reported and got removed for being spam.

Oh I see. Good to know. Thanks.

 

[Demandarin]

Lmao...I knew it was too good to be true. I was looking all over for that thread again...lol. I will wait for untethered jailbrake. Id hate to have to do it after every reboot. Some cydia apps reboot device after installation finished. It would be a pain for me to keep doing it. Im looking for that one time only, until next major update.

Trying to follow this guide to jailbreak my ipad which has 4.2.1 on it, but I can't find this file. Jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad, iPod touch 4G with Redsn0w 0.9.6b4 [Guide] | Redmond Pie

The link for Redsn0w 0.9.6b4 is no good. Any ideas?

 

[Tinman]

0.9.6b5 is now out... use that.

Issues

I upgraded to 4.2 and while it seemed fine, it began to give me several issues one being a sluggish keyboard. (took forever to recognize the key inputs), wifi connectivity issues and safari took forever to load pages. I ended downgrading back to 3.2.2 and rejailbreaking with limera1n.

Any others have those issues?

 

[Tinman]

Not me. Speed was about the same. No keyboard lag. Wifi is fine.

Everytime I run redsn0w to jailbreak my devices it crashes. it says "program has stopped working." Any thoughts?

gotta run it in xp mode.

I'm running in XP mode but its still crashing. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Same issue here.

i run in XP and i have tried to run in XP and as Admin... Not working.


anyone else get this issue and find a way around it?
