Looks like we might be waiting a lot longer for the untethered jailbreak to arrive. I might have to downgrade to 4.1 and go greenpois0n again until ioS 4.3 is released and the jailbreak is final.

Comex Untethered Jailbreak Saved for iOS 4.3 !
well at least there is a "one-click-tethered-boot" now :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
also read somewhere else that geohot may have an untethered solution for 4.2.1 but not for all devices
What's the one click tethered boot? Is it for 4.2.1?
Dev-Team Blog - Thanksgiving with Apple
refer to update# 3
The one click tethered boot is to make it easier for people that are currently on iOS 4.2.1 with a tethered jailbreak to reboot when it is required.
to be honest i am very pleased with my tethered set up..
these guys can play the "cat & mouse games" as long as they need to
I just wish I knew why my phone kept going into safe mode. I had lockinfo with activator installed, biteSMS, winterboard and Cydia and I think that's it? Anyone help?
what other tweaks do you have installed from cydia?
I had some theme that started with an a and had a weird name lol and a Texas theme but neither were active
when did the safe mode start? after oneof your newer tweaks? Try uninstalling the tweak you last installed before the phone kept going into safe mode. One of the tweaks is causing this issue.
Also sbsettings
It happened when I got a text and someone said it was because I had the wrong version of biteSMS
On 4.2.1 when I installed bitesms everytime I get a text it goes into safe mode so I removed it I guess I will just have to wait for an update for it give that a try and see if that works for u
There's a new version of Bite that fixes that. I think it's still in beta though.
not sure why you guys are having issues with biteSMS, i have had no issues for a while now (iP4 iOS 4.2.1 redns0w tethered JB)

copy & paste this link like you're adding a new source in Cydia
manage>sources>edit>add>add source. then install
go here for more help if needed: Releases - biteSMS
Ok thanks will try that
I had to uninstall sbsettings to get out of safe mode on a 3GS running 4.2.1—although I think it was actually Activator (installed as part of SBS) that was causing the issue. Try that.
How do I uninstall a jailbroken app? Just delete it? Lol
yes, in Cydia
ok, did some investigating and it does look like activator has been the culprit for springboard crashes when involved with iOS 4.2.1, however that was with the 1.4.1 version. we are now currently at the 1.4.6 version and i am having no issues whatsoever, although i remember with my 3G there were unexplained crashes and i had to remove activator temporarily..
so in the short you may want to verify you are at the current version of activator and or remove it until you can find a fix
remember, activator is part of sbsettings and you will lose this as well
Yeah I'm running iP4 4.2.1 tethered jb, and Activator is working fine for me. I have no need for Bite, though, so I dunno about the whole text-message-causing-it-to-crash thing.
After reading the article, it seems to me that "Comex saves untethered Jailbreak for iOS 4.3" is a false conclusion. Comex was asked whether the jailbreak will be ready for 4.2.1 or 4.3 and his reply was "Depends when 4.3 is out."
So how can one conclude that he's waiting for 4.3 when he clears says that it depends?
Might as well wait for the next release anyway at this point.
I dont think it really matters anymore as Geohot is supposedly going to release his untethered JB for 4.2.1.
I wish he'd hurry. Tethered is okay for now, but I wanna be able to reboot without my laptop lol
