Amen sista! (jk) I've never been interested in a tethered jailbreak.
I hear ya, I used it for a little while but good thing I had SHSH blobs and went down to untethered.
I can wait
nevermind, had grabbed the wrong iBSS and kernelcache files, they need to come from the custom ipsw.

Oh, it that all you'll need? Jeebus, you'd have to want it pretty damn bad to go through all that crap just for a tethered JB. Why do they even bother?
Some (impatient) people cannot hold off for a week I guess
yep
haha it wasn't worth the hassle and rejailbreaking... although home sharing was nice
So far I've found that it's a lot smoother overall. Folders open quickly and smoothly without hiccups and moving icons is quicker to activate. In fact, all animations seem smoother. Of course this is the first time I've restored my iP4 since I got it last June so it could be attributed to a clean install. Not sure.
So far I haven't gotten Cydia to work but I also haven't had time to run the tethered boot commands either and that seemed to fix the issue with the 4.2.1 tethered boot.
I'm happy. We'll see how I feel once I try the tethered boot tomorrow.

Its a tethered bootrom JB that will always be there.
Not untethered
This isn't untethered either though. Why is it news that it's already ready, I thought that was the point of a bootrom jailbreak (I'm really not trying to be rude, I just don't understand the nuances of how this is news or is better than the standard tethered-jailbreak offered by the limera1n exploit)?
It's only news because those of us without any knowledge of how to get the current versions of jailbreaking tools to work with 4.3 can now jailbreak it relatively easily (as long as you can follow instructions). It does require a new 4.3 bundle which, as far as I can tell, isn't just an easily editable text or xml file.
Help. Can't paste bundle.
I am following the Redmond guide. I have dwnlded Pwnage Tool 4.2 and the 4.3 bundle. I right-clicked on the pineapple then worked my way to "FirmwareBundle", but I can't paste the bundle into that folder. I have tried copy/paste. I have tried to drag and drop. I get the circle w/ a slash! What am I doing wrong?

Hardly. I can't seem to get Cydia to run. Has anyone been able to get it to work? I thought it was supposed to be working.An advantage to this 'solution' is it will keep you busy until the 4.3 Greenpoison solution is released on Friday.
[EDIT] Others seems to be having no issues with Cydia so I'm going to try rebelling my ipsw (I'm adding my favorite apps/tweaks this time) then restoring. Crossing fingers. If not, I'll try being un-jailbroken for a week. The smoothness is killer.
You unzipped it right? What about permissions? Make sure you have them (they can get messed up).

I don't understand your 'Hardly' comment. You started this thread almost 2 days ago and you still do not have it working.
I'll try rebooting but it booted fine using the terminal commands. Maybe something went wrong *shrugs*
I am on Step 3 of the guide and have seen no mention of permissions. Please explain.

This was my problem...
nevermind, had grabbed the wrong iBSS and kernelcache files from the os, got them from the stock os and not the custom one..that fixed my problem, thanks!
...once I did that and it booted up and cydia opened up fine. Only thing is though all my main apps didnt work so I'm back to 4.2.1. Intelliscreen, bitesms both don't work in 4.3.

Will try this. Meanwhile, I am trying many ways to get the bundle into the FirmwareBundle folder and I got the message below via one of my attempts. Don't know if this offers clues. I'm new to MAC, so I am trying to catch on to the differences.
The document iPhone3,1_4.3_8F190.bundle could not be opened. PwnageTool cannot open files in the PwnageTool Document format.

Genius
That's what I did (I even made sure after reading your post but maybe I got mixed up). I'll try moving them again.
[EDIT] No, still won't open. Baaa.
[EDIT 2] Great Success! I was pulling them from the stock like you said but you need to pull them from the custom ipsw for it to work. You have it worded backwards! Woohoo! Thanks.

Sorry guess I worded it bad..I meant they needed to be pulled from the custom ipsw. Glad it worked!
