Failing to Jailbreak.

[cromie]

I am attempting to jailbreak my Verizon iPhone 4 (4.2.1) Everything seems to go fine and it seems to take a bit longer than any videos I seen, It keeps getting to the point were the greenpois0n emblem is spinning then stops after this I get the "restore me know" emblem and I have to plug it in and out 4-5 times to actually get it to start restoring. I stopped trying to JB it just in case it bricked

I dont know what I am doing wrong

What I used

GP 6.1
Verizon Iphone 4 (4.2.1)
PC

Any advice appreciated,

Don't know if this matters (it's been a while since I've used GP) but most guides for that firmware recommend using GP RC5b4. See if this guide helps:

The Verizon phone never had 4.2.1 so you must mean 4.2.6? So tell us which is correct? either it's not a Verizon phone or you told us the wrong firmware?

I'm in Canada so it's hard for me to tell you about JB a Verizon phone because I've never done one but try this How To: Jailbreak Verizon iPhone 4 Untethered On iOS 4.2.6 Using GreenPois0n | iJailbreak - Jailbreak | Apple | Android | Unlock | Cydia | PlayStation | Google | iOS | How To

It's a Verizon and only has 4.2.1 I can not update it any further, I bought it at Best Buy last week if that would have anything to do with it

Same thing happened but thanks for the help

Sounds like you mean 4.2.10, not 4.2.1. Different things. I don't think there's a reliable jb yet for 4.2.10, just a kind of buggy, tethered Redsn0w jailbreak.

I agree I think he is saying 4.2.10 and as far as I know there is no unteathered JB and prob won't be and most of what I heard is using redsnow tethered

your right it is 4.2.10 I didn't realize was a difference in x.x.1 and x.x.10 thanks for the help
