Dev -Team update redsn0w to version 0.9.6rc11 which added custom animated boot logo and some more bug fixes.
From the Dev Team blog,
Those running redsn0w may have noticed we enabled too many Settings options in some versions of the jailbreak (for instance, what you want your side switch to do, even if you have no side switch because you’re not using an iPad). Release rc10 of redsn0w corrects that (you can just run it over your existing jailbreak…be sure to de-select Cydia to avoid package conflicts). Along the way, we’ve also added the option to enable boot animations…these animations can be installed via Cydia, but be sure to select which animation to use via the Settings->Bootlogo setting after you’ve downloaded an animation (and again, you can just run rc10 rc11 over your existing jailbreak…be sure to de-select Cydia to avoid package conflicts).

An untether jailbreak is now available for iOS 4.3.1. This new method can jailbreak all iOS devices except iPad2 & iPhone4 CMDA (Verizon) model because they have deferent bootrom which not yet hacked. redsn0w, sn0wbreeze and pwnageTool are all updated to support iOS 4.3.1. As you know AppleTV 2G is also supported.
4.3.1 untether exploit comes courtesy of Stefan Esser (@i0n1c on twitter), a security researcher based in Germany. Stefan has a long history of vulnerability research, and ironically his first contribution to the iPhone jailbreak community was improved security — last year he beat Apple to the punch and implemented ASLR for jailbroken iPhones with his “antid0te” framework. We’re happy to see that Stefan then turned his iPhone attention over to an untethered jailbreak exploit! The 4.3.1 untether works on all devices that actually support 4.3.1 except for the iPad2: iPhone3GS iPhone4 (GSM) iPod touch 3G iPod touch 4G iPad1 AppleTV 2G (PwnageTool only for now) The reason the untether won’t work as-is on the iPad2 is that it requires a bootrom or iBoot-level exploit to install, and the iPad2 is not susceptible to either the limera1n or SHAtter bootrom exploits.

Minutes ago @MuscleNerd via twitter confirms that the new @i0n1c exploit can also jailbreak the Apple TV 2G (ATV2).
I think that the new jailbreak tool will be available soon but I can’t find any reliable source to confirm the actual release data. What do you think about the release date?
@i0n1c tweeted a few hours ago that the Dev-Team (The leader in jailbreak community) is already beta testing his untether jailbreak. This should give some hope to jailbreakers that an official release will be announces soon. I think they integrate this new untether jailbreak to their PwnageTool and redsn0w.
Tethered jailbreak for iOS 4.3.1 is already available (except for iPad 2 users) via sn0wbreeze.
What do you think about iPad2 jailbreak?
Many of our users experiencing errors with installous and ask me for solution. I found fixes for many of these errors in installous talk forum so I decided to aggregate these along with the solutions in one post. Hope it will help you to fix the problems.
By the way you can freely ask your questions and/or suggestions in comment section of this post.
I found a video showing untethered jailbroken iPod4G on iOS 4.3.1. It seems that the author uses PWN2OWN exploit in safari to jailbreak the device.
Meanwhile everyone should have noticed that my prediction became true and Apple released iOS 4.3.1 in order to fix the PWN2OWN vulnerability in Safari. It was very unlikely that Apple also fixed the kernel vulnerability I used for my untether exploit. Mainly because the kernelcache binary is about 8-10 MB in size and the likelihood that Apple finds the same vulnerability in that short amount of time was very low.

Few hours ago iH8sn0w released sn0wbreeze 2.4b1 which supports iOS 4.3.1 jailbreak.
Now the question is “is it a tethered jailbreak?” I don’t know! it’s tethered jailbreak. So I prefer to stay on 4.2.1 (iPhone 3GS)
ultrasn0w now works for basebands(01.59.00 / 04.26.08 / 05.11.07 / 05.12.01 / 05.13.04 / 06.15.00) ultrasn0w is NOT compatible with the folllowing basebands! (02.10.04 / 03.10.01 / 04.10.01 / 05.14.02 / 05.15.04) iOS 4.3.1 is now supported. iPhone 3GS users can upgrade to 06.15.00 baseband now under Unlocks section in Expert. Upgrading your iPhone 3GS baseband to the 06.15.00 iPad baseband hack to unlock MAY cause you to lose your GPS!
Here you can find the link to the latest sn0wbreeze build (currently 2.4b1) and here you can find instructions to use sn0wbreeze.
There are several articles in the internet which provide step by step guides to jailbreak iOS 4.3. As I hate duplicating the world, I prefer to just put the links to some of these articles here. All of them provide same way in different words.
As one knows apple few days ago released the new iOS (4.3) for iPad, iPhone, etc. I’m sure that you have read a lot in other sites about this new version. By the way I just can say that AppSync & installous are still work with this version. So if you can jailbreak your device you have the chance to use AppStore Apps as free by installing AppSync and installous via Cydia. Here you can find the instructions to do so.
As I read all iDevices can be jailbroken untethered on iOS 4.3.
