4.2.1 Greenpois0n

Hey Guys,

I followed the advice of musclenerd on twitter who advised to use redsn0w for those having trouble installing cydia after the GP jailbreak. I too could not get the loader program to install cydia. So, I used redsn0w after GP and only had "install cydia" selected in the options and it installed cydia and everything appears to be working fine. I had to chase down redsn0w but I used the most recent version I could find (0.9.7, I believe as I am at work right now) which is not on the main dev-team page. I saw many credible folks on twitter saying this method is fine and so far so good.

when you did it this way, you only installed Cydia? Did you have to follow all the directions of redsn0w? Doesn't it restore your device and all that?

Has the 'Greenpoison Initialising...' issue been fixed yet?
 
Cydia finally shows up in Loader (using RC 5.2) But I now get a domain error for Cydia install. Could this be due to high traffic or server issues? thanks all!

Are there any video tutorials for the nee jailbreak, I know its supposed to be relatively simple, but the hand holding would be appreciated.

hand holding is in the program, it will tell you step by step on what to do, and even have a count down and when to release which button. I would assume it is the same from the last green poison.

Yeah, I know, but I sort of like to see what I can expect to happen, so I know what's going on.

Irrational I know.

Follow all the directions of redsn0w. Just make sure that only "install cydia" is selected in the options. It does not restore your device. You will be fine and untethered as long as you used GP.
 
And don't forget to put sleep mode into "never" I got to 21% and forgot to touch screen b4 sleep occurred. My bad! But I blamed it on my cat for distracting me :D

(The reason that works is tethered RS doesn't touch boot sequence at all, but GP does. They stay out of each others way)

Yes, tethered 4.2.1 redsn0w JBers can just run #greeenpois0n over it for untether (restore only if you have problem)

Sweet. All set when a windows version comes out.

romeo.xk said:
Well, that would be because you are on windows... :D

And you are more than welcome to get busy and create your own JB and make sure you make it to be a windows only version...

Oh, if I only could... just to see the Mac people twist in the wind for a change.

Finally this worked for me

1) /etc/hosts/ # out the apple entry
2) Close Itunes
3) Ran GP as sudo from terminal
4) when it turned white the screen during dfu I pushed the sleep button (home button stays pressed continously)
5) Release sleep button when you see GP initialized
6) Keep home held you should see **** happen

Geesh. I'm waiting for the part where you put all your phone parts in a paper bag, twirl it over your head and screem like a chicken (kodos to anyone who get's the Dick Van Dyke show reference).
