Untethered iOS 4.2.1 Jailbreak Live
With the new Wi-Fi hot-spotting feature in the Verizon iPhone which – will almost certainly be coming to GSM iPhones – there’s one less reason to jailbreak your device. Sharing your 3G connection with your laptop or Wi-Fi-only iPad was possibly the number-one goal of jailbreakers.
Still, that hasn’t stopped the hackers, and the latest way to crack your iPhone is Greenpois0n, a tether-free jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1, the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system.
Untethered means that you can reboot your device without have to plug it into a computer. Greenpois0n is Mac-only right now, but Linux and Windows versions should be on their way soon enough. One tip: this hack isn’t recommended for anyone who has carrier-unlocked their iPhone, or who plans to do so.
So why would you still want to jailbreak your iDevice? Well, iPads still don’t get the nifty new hot-spotting feature, but there’s one big reason to open your iPad up at least: Retro-gaming. Sega might already be in the App Store, but if you want to play classic Nintendo titles on your iPad or iPhone, you’re going to have to crack the hood.
As ever, take care. We haven’t tested this jailbreak yet (I like to keep my iPad stable).
