IF YOU USE THE RELEASE UltraSn0w, please wait TO SUPPORT PwnageTool 4.1. DO NOT USE RedSn0w. This should be used redsn0w to 4.1, you must have already upgraded to 4.1 from Apple official. If you do this, you lose your unlock ultrasn0w (possibly infinite).
Version of Windows needs more tests, so for now it is only available for Mac OS X x86. Windows version will come soon as the bugs are fixed.
Note: If you are a ipt2g "MC" model, will be connected to the 4.1 Jailbreak ... I'm sorry! (What supports or back to FW jailbreakme.com spiritjb.com)

Update: All users of Windows to show "Waiting for reboot" for too long (more than 20 seconds), please try to "shake up" process in JB Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable (while leaving redsn0w continues to operate).

ultrasn0w unlockers
With Turkey Day a few days, Apple has released version 4.2.1 FW. As always, ultrasn0w unlockers please stay out of official firmware (and all the official firmware). Wait for the ability to create 4.2.1. IPSWs not updated the band! If you are not a software version, keep reading!
The best news of all is for the owners of the iPhone3G, iPhone3GS elderly and non-MC iPod touch 2G. Through a combination of our original pwnage2 arm7_go exploit and use 24kpwn limera1n that the device is "equally jailbreak than ever." To take full advantage of a loose 4.2.1 jailbreak.
Here are the owners of all new devices. The good news is that due to the use of limera1n Geohot all modern aircraft can be unlocked (this will be true until Apple released new hardware that limerain Geohot set to explode in the boot ROM). The bad news is that the 4.2.1 jailbreak * Attached to these new devices. A jailbreak in captivity means that each time the device loses power or the battery needs to be rebooted, plug into a PC or Mac to begin in the released state. @ COMEX working hard on a 4.2.1 jailbreak method that can disentangle, but may require you to have your spots SHSH 4.1 for use. No word on how much effort it will take that (please do not @ error COMEX that!). (We also have another method that may work, but the method @ COMEX is much more elegant.)
So when this action can jailbreak 4.2.1? Well, if you are a developer or builder JB, you've probably used the redsn0w mentioned in our last message to jailbreak 4.2.1 and at least get SSH working. But beyond that, there are still some last minute problems with MobileSubstrate and COMEX kernel patches that are fixed. Let's Twitter blog and post an update when everything is available (we like to ETA, but if unforeseen problems, probably later today). Sometimes "now" ... see Bulletin No. 1.
In the meantime, be sure to have a 4.1 SHSH patches on all devices. These are important, even beyond firmware 4.1 (using the Comex, and the method and the alternative, depending on how each of them walk away.)
ultrasn0w unlock: After redsn0w is officially released with the new Cydia and kernel patches, we will be able to assess the state of liberation. It is very promising, so expect to unlock the iPhone 3G and 3G coming this week. I4 Unlocking requires more effort, however, and there is no specific information available over it yet.
Feel free to ask questions in our comments section below, where we have some amazing new additional moderators - sherif_hashim, and dhlizard Frank55!
Update # 1: redsn0w version 0.9.6b6 is now available for your enjoyment jailbreak 4.2.1. Please read the above to understand what it means to jailbreak yet.
Update # 2: The concept of a "captive" jailbreak is fairly new for many people, so here is a brief overview of what you can expect:
1. If you are in an iPhone3G, iPhone3GS bootrom ipt2g ex-MC or not, life is easy. redsn0w jailbreak installed without attachments and anything below is applied.
2. "Connected" does not mean you can not boot at all without a PC / Mac help. If you have not installed any adjustments that the loop of important programs as a springboard or CommCenter, the car actually started. However, programs such as Jailbreak, Cydia does not (and may still have the Cydia icon is white). In addition, some integrated applications, which had to be moved to handle Cydia (Safari is the clearest example).
3. If you have the settings MobileSubstrate springboard hook or other important programs, their implementation will fail because (you're stuck at the Apple logo). You must use redsn0w to "Just boot attached at this time."
Update # 3: We redsn0w updated to include "one-click" of support for those of you running the 4.2.1 jailbreak captive. Using the command line arguments, you can now skip the screen that are normally seen as using redsn0w to "Just to start now a captive."
The command line arguments available are:
J-redsn0w to ask for "just start now linked to this"
-I
-O for iPod touch 2G bootrom old and iPhone 3G
B
For example, to get a Mac redsn0w to connect the trunk of the 4G iPod Touch Jailbroken in 4.2.1:
open ~ / ~ Desktop/redsn0w.app-args-ji / Desktop/iPod4, 1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw
This requires both redsn0w IPSW and is in its desktop OS X, to change if necessary! Included in the zip file is a sample script that you can double click to start redsn0w like this (the example assumes that Windows is all in C: \). (Mac users:. Please do not forget to change the permissions of the *. custom control to allow the execution)
This should help relieve pain in the jailbreak @ COMEX anchor to reach a untether 4.2.1 (or, for those of you with legitimate access to 4.2b3 IPSW until "Jailbreak Monte "untether is out of beta)!
* Racing from iTunes 10.1 for best results
* Users of Windows 7 should work redsn0w EN "XP compatibility" MODE
* Make sure you use a USB 2.0 port
