Okay, so by the sounds of it, I'm stuck uniltil apple release 4.3

I am on iPhone4 v4.2.1 and do not have any previous shsh files. As you can probably tell I have never jb my phone, but want to give it a go as I am fed up with limited apps. Can I get back to v4.0.1 so that I can use jailbreakme?


No shsh files = no downgrade

You can jailbreak 4.2.1 with redsn0w
(tethered)
 
What kind of apps are you expecting to install after you jb?

I am looking for apps such as wifi sync etc... I want to beable to sync wirelessly, I also like the look of the iRealSMS. I don't know the apps very well as I haven't had the chance to use them. I have only read a small amount about what I can do with jb apps.

I find it frustrating that apple won't let you sync wirelessly despite the fact that the zune could do it years ago. I guess I am just gunna have to be patient and wait for an untethered jb.
 
Wifi Sync works for me with iTunes 10.1 and iPhone4 4.1
Thanks for that!

I see you have a Mac, it could just be a windows issue, because I've re-installed the software many times since iTunes 10.1 and still no joy.

IMO he should stay there. ;)

Geohot is sometimes arrogant but you can't disregard the fact he is an awesome hacker. Everytime I open up my iPhone I am reminded that his LimeRa1n program boosted my overall satisfaction towards my iPhone 10 fold. Geohot will win against Sony and he will still be hacking. I really hope he comes out soon with a jailbreak as a lot of my friends are waiting for it.
 
Check in the geohot vs sony topic, i have posted his defence. Seems pretty solid.

I will disagree and Yes i will very much disregard that he is a "awesome hacker". He is a talented young programmer with very good debugging skills, that's all... He is as far from a Hacker as anyone can be. He cares about his 15min of fame every time he can and not the real benefice of his work, All he want is a headline. Real hackers dont put picture of himself all over, real hackers are always hiding their identity. real hackers always got a cause, will be either trash the system or benefice the most people as possible with their work, no just be on the news.

I hope Sony crush him, and he finally maturea little so maybe some day he can do some real work.
