Gah! Is this live? It appears there are valid DL's on the greenpois0n site, but i can't access them from work (behind a filter). looking at it on my phone, it appears thee are files to be had! Anyone try/gonna try it? I'm nervous to give up JB 4.1 to go to 4.2.1 and get "stuck." Either way, imma hang back and enjoy the ransackery! Good job guys!

Sounds like it is...right now the wifi symbol doesnt show up, but its still working
 
ACardAttack, that's the OLD version, not the one for 4.2.1. Looks like I'm going to be clicking refresh a lot today waiting for this.
 
Just a question but what does it mean for those that already have the tethered jb? We can just run the new program or do we have to restore then jailbreak again, along with installing all the cydia apps, etc.
 
Ungreatfull:rolleyes:

People will never be happy, now that you see the demo, you going to start getting all those post about when will it be release, why are they holding it, Why WHy Why Why...... and if they release with bug them..."they sucks" why did the released such a trash, blah blah blah. (Oh i forgot all the thread asking why the unlock hasn't been release yet if the untethered JB have been out already for 3 min...)

It's crazy, I am glad to see progress, they seen to have some issues with the Wifi icon and still working on the packaging.

I would assume you would need to restore and get rid of the jailbreak, but I could be wrong...

Use aptbackup from cydia...its free and works great...will save your downloaded cydia apps...just not their settings

I would not recommend aptbackup for anything. Better to use pkgbackup and chronus to get the app settings.

LMAO :D
Well said.
The whining and bitching never ends.
 
What problems have you had with aptbackup? Ive used it a few different times and I havent had any issues

Despite the poster above saying pkgbackup was a problem, you'll find numerous threads about the aptbackup issues. Also thelatinist states apt is a problem, and I tend to believe what he says. YMMV

Regarding 4.2.1, I don't think I'll ever leave 4.0.1. Printing I already have. Oh, and it works!
 
Good job. Not sure to upgrade to 4.2.1 or just stay at 4.1. Little nervous cause going from 4.0.1 to 4.1 caused some major havoc and it took awhile to get everything back the way I wanted.
 
I wonder when it will be released and if Comex beats them to it.

I think that depends on the exploit...if its same exploit I can see Comex releasing his...but if its a different exploit he'll wait (id assume) for next firmware or perhaps even iOS5
 
That has been fixed as of beta 6. I'm on 4.2.1 untethered and everything works perfect.

No offense, but this is at least the second time someone has posted a message like this. Everything does not work perfect if you run Skype or have DRM protected books in iBooks.
 
I thought Skype was fixed in b6 and DRM books in iBooks is a problem with every JB.

No, Skype was not fixed, there's a kluge which involves when you install it, either before or after the jb (I can't remember which). Since when has iBooks been a problem with every jb? I never had a problem with the last 2 jbs I did. Also there are reports of increased battery drainage with beta 6.
