Redsn0w: Dev-Team Blog

Update #1: Today Apple released to developers the GM seed for 4.2. Tinkerers will find that yesterday?s redsn0w jailbreaks today?s 4.2 GM seed, simply by pointing redsn0w at the 4.1 IPSW (rather than the 4.2 one). Right now it mostly only makes sense for JB app developers to do that because many apps (including Cydia itself) need to be updated for 4.2. However, if all you want to do is enable afc2 (to use iFunBox or other file browsers), or to tweak settings like Battery % and Homescreen wallpapers, then go for it (if you have valid paid access to the GM seed). Be sure to uncheck the Cydia box, though! Ultrasn0w unlockers should stay very far away from this!!

The website I posted has links to the latest version for Windows or Mac.

Cydia will not work on 4.2 until it is released to the public though. Keep that in mind.

just so you're aware, i tried redsnow and it doesn't recognize the ipsw. And yes it's .9.6.2b

with that said, 4.2 seems much quicker than 4.1. And in phone calls there's less of a proximity sensor issue. Of course this could all be placebo

 

[BLiNK]

that is because you're supposed to point to 4.1 ipsw

why not just wait for the updated Cydia and do it all at once?

Why would you even update to 4.2 gm?
