iOS 4.3 GM Jailbroken Already Using PwnageTool

What a PITA for just a tethered boot.

Have they even verified Cydia runs on 4.3? Or any other apps?

I'm currently running a jailbroken iPhone 4 on iOS 4.3 GM. Cydia works and I currently have the following cydia apps installed with no issues:

Activator 1.5.4~beta2
Cyntact 1.4.1-1
Five Icon Dock 0.9.3202-1
iBlacklist 4.2-1
iFile 1.4.2-1
LibWeather 1.1.0.0
Lockinfo 3.0.1.0
Multifl0w 2.1.3
Popup Blocker 1.5.1.0
Recent/CallLog Delete 1.5.1
SBSettings 3.2.1
SpringFlash 1.3.1
TetherMe 2.0-59 (Personal Hotspot tethering works)
3G Unrestrictor 2.3.1-1

Also, pre-jailbroken IPSW's can be downloaded at:

To boot tethered, just write a batch file with tetheredboot.exe, iBSS, and kernel cache commands so the process is faster. Not really a pain at all (other than having to be tethered).

Nice but I'd rather wait a week till they get it right and also for the untethered JB.

Sounds like they have 4.3 covered, I just hope the ASLR crap doesn't mess them up too much in the future.

I'm confused. I thought that was the point of a bootrom jailbreak is Apple can't fix it, rather it is at a level below the OS so it doesn't matter what they change. While maybe slight adjustments would be needed, they'd be done in a matter of minutes or hours anyway.

Its a tethered bootrom JB that will always be there.
Not untethered

Something tells me the Dev team already has the fix, they aren't just saying anything to prevent the self absorb users that feel entitled to their work from starting a b*tching fest.

Amen sista! (jk) I've never been interested in a tethered jailbreak.

To each his own. I don't need some random issue crashing and locking up my phone when I don't have a computer anywhere near me.

Hope you people aren't in an accident and need to dial 911, your house catches on fire, you need an ambulance etc, etc, when your phone only wants to show you the apple logo or plug into itunes logo.

Enjoy.

I may not even upgrade. This 4.2.1 jailbreak that I did using PwnageTool has been the most stable jailbreak I've ever had!

It's a hassle, I may give it a try.

I actually never did a tethered JB out of every iPhone I had.

I get the following output:

The phone still appears to be in DFU mode. If I run it the second time i get:

The phone starts to boot up during the "Connection failed" error.

Does anybody know of a work around?

If you've never used it before in the previous betas then you've never installed libUSB or whatever it's called.

When you're running the tethered boot patch set it up like this instead of how they show you in the video:

/Users/tr/Desktop/tetheredboot-1 -i /Users/tr/Desktop/iBSS.n90ap.RELEASE.dfu -k /Users/tr/Desktop/kernelcache.release.n90

I was stuck like you for hours and hours before I found this solution, spread the word.

I felt the same way, I started at midnight and probably found the solution in a comment thread on some random webpage around 4am?

At least it works though!

Oh yeah, that happens to me all the time.

I wasn't either until the 4.2.1 tethered JB as it was the only thing available for a while. It only sucks when you have to install apps/tweaks that require a reboot (MyWi, MobileSubstrate, etc.) but not many do so it really wasn't an issue. The jailbreak was so stable I never had an issue where I had to reboot when away from my computer (or in near one for that matter). It's really more of a mental thing than anything else.

I actually jailbroke my iPad for the first time with the tethered 4.2.1 jailbreak before greenpois0n came out. It drove me absolutely nuts for the first hour while I tried to get everything installed that I needed. It seemed like I was having to tether boot it every 2 minutes.

Once it was set up and running, it really wasn't so bad though.

Does the -1 behind tetheredboot need to be there as well as a first time set up or did I miss that the first time too. I also this error last night but gave up and restored my back up. Only reason I ask is because it's not in bold like the -i and -k. Thanks for the help. I'll try again tonight.

Also...from now on when doing the tethered boot do I enter the commands like you have shown or like the first directions said? Guess I'm asking if those command set up the libUSB.

THANKS! this saved me a huge headache. and to answer the post above me. No its what his tetheredboot is named.

ok whats happening now
