redsn0w iOS 4.2.1 untethered Jailbreak “backup plan” released to beta testers [updated] | TiPb

Looks like people are having some trouble with the redsn0w beta test Jailbreak. I'm not even going to lie, I'm sticking with 4.1 for now. If you're trying it out and having trouble, post in the thread below and we'll try to troubleshoot!

Here are some of the known issues:

- Bluetooth is disabled
- iPod player not working on iPhone 4 and iPad
- Application switcher causing the springboard to crash
- YouTube is not working for many
- Videos in your camera roll may not play at all
- AirPlay not compatible
- Some app store apps are crashing or not working at all

How's it going for you?

I'm sticking to tethered redsn0w for now. iPhone 4 iOS 4.2.1 is working fine with it. I'll wait for the general release of this

I've tried to install usbmuxd but have had very little success. Can someone provide a simple walkthrough on getting that going?

UPDATE: I finally got things working properly. I was missing a simple part of the command!

Can someone please explain this tethered vs untethered jailbreak? I am a newbie to jailbreaking and am awaiting the jailbreak for 4.2.1. What do i need to do? Thanks in advance

My iPad is bricked! Did the jailbreak. Downloaded winterboard and after install it asked to reboot. I did, now all I get is apple logo. Help.

These are related. Tethered means you must rerun redsn0w every reboot, the option you are looking for is "just boot tethered right now".

If you don't boot tethered on a tethered jailbreak it either won't boot (stuck at apple logo) or it will boot w/o jailbreak (white cydia icon). Depends on what mobile substrate things are installed to decide which you get but basically activator or SBsettings or winter board = no boot on tethered jail broken devices.

This is why everyone wants an untethered jailbreak (the subject of this thread)

I didn't really want to HiJack this thread but I have to ask why do people JB withou knowing what they are doing? Arghh it's so frustrating and adds to the useless points Team Pure folks bring up as why not to JB. They will say the device is bricked when it really isn't or battery life sucks because they are using a crazy ass theme with a bajillion things running in the background and lockinfo set to a micro second for update. There are threads in this very forum with the info, I'm not flaming anyone in particular so no one should take it personally it is just an observation slash ponderance.
