Just checking...but you have booted into a tethered jailbreak using redsn0w correct?

The first time the iPad reboots after jailbreaking with redsn0w, it's actually rebooting into a non-jailbroken state. You need to rerun redsn0w, uncheck "install Cydia" and check "tethered boot only," then follow through the process with redsn0w. Once it reboots with the pineapple logo, Cydia should work.
yep i did, thanks for checking
I patched cydia with the following guide and I at least got the majority of things (including cydia) working again:

You patched it? Are you using the newer redsnow? I didn't have to patch anything and my cydia works great
Interesting... Did you do a fresh install of 4.2.1 or an upgrade? I am using the newest of redsn0w as linked from the dev team
Both actually. And it worked the same both times. Redsnow should give you an option that says "install cydia" and then it jailbreaks it. I'm not sure where you got instructions to patch anything, once it's jail broken you have to use redsnow again to restart tethered and it should work just fine. What instructions are you going off of?
yeah no problems here. After you redsnow it, run it again and select tether reboot. Cydia is working fine.
Do you ever actually give advice or do you pride yourself on being useless? You said the same thing in my thread and were also downright rude about it. Get the stick out of your ass.
No actually I pointed out you were smug to another member, telling him basically he was wrong, when he was right on the money. Sorry you don't like being confronted, but as the poster replied, you obviously don't know what your talking about, that still applies because you know what?
Your entire thread was a total contradiction and a waste of time.
Starting off you state a successful JB how everything is working terrifically, which leads readers to think, oh, well, maybe there is a new JB out for us to try....BUT, and lo and behold a few lines down we see the real contradiction.
Houston, I think we have a problem.
People really hate having to sift through BS threads like yours.
Interesting. I tried and mine seems to work fine. I set up as new iPad when I installed 4.2.1 and then ran redsn0w 0.9.6b4 and clicked the "Install Cydia" check box. Then restarted my iPad into a tethered boot.
If you haven't, restore and setup as new.
Weird, that is exactly what I did. Installed Cydia, then booted into a tethered boot.
Were you asked by Cydia to do an upgrade after you launched it? It asked me, and I did a complete upgrade and it seemed to give me an iPad compatible version that supported rotate and non-full screen installation process. But it would crash when I tried to search for things, load Changes, or anything like that.
Hmm. Not sure what went wrong with your jailbreak but at this point it looks like your only option is to restore and try again.
Agreed. Something might have gotten corrupted in the jb. Restore, set up as new iPad, re JB and report back.
You only need to tether when you reboot. It is not necessary when you respring thankfully, that really would have made it a pain. I'm just happy to have my SBSettings and Browser Changer back.
