As one knows few days ago Apple released an update to iOS 4.3.3 which solve the location tracking issue.
As I mentioned before apple did not fix the bug founded by @i0nic, which brings untether jailbreak to iOS 4.3.3. As I predicted Dev-Team and iH8sn0w update their jailbreaking tools (redsn0w, pwnageTool, and sn0wbreeze) to support this version.
redsn0w 0.9.6 rc15 , pwnageTool 4.3.3, sn0wbreeze 2.7 are the tools you can use for jailbreaking all iDevices (expect iPad2) running iOS 4.3.3 (4.2.8 for Verizon iPhone 4). Download links could be found under our download section.
Ultrasn0w also updated to support this version. You can find it in Cydia.
As before I just put the links to the instructions from other sites instead of duplicating the world. I think it is much more environmental friendly!
Apple released iOS 4.3.3 (4.2.8 for iPhone 4 Verizon) which solves location tracking issue. You need iTunes 10.2.2 for this version of iOS.
According to a tweet by @comex it’s still unvarialbe to @i0n1c exploit. It means that it’s jailbreakable but not now. redsn0w, pwnageTool (by Dev-Team) and sn0wbreeze (iH8sn0w) will update shortly (I think in next 2 days) to support this version. So jailbreakers should wait until the releases of this tools.
I will post the latest news about the jailbreak status of this version, come back and check CaziSoft later for more updates and news. For now I just list direct download links. If your internet connection is too slow as mine, you can start download today to save your time.
Yesterday iH8Sn0w and Pushfix have released a Cydia package to untether your currently tethered Verizon 4.2.7 iPhone. This package will work for those who have jailbroken by pointing RedSn0w to the 4.2.6 ipsw.
originally ordered a Verizon iPhone 4 for my upcoming SHSH blobs dumper. Then I + many others on twitter realized that an untether was not available for 4.2.7. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been sick and didn’t do much, but today I was finally able to get the strength to work on this Verizon untether. Since i0n1c’s payload is not easily reversible, I went to previous exploits. After trying, pod2g’s + posixninja’s kernel exploit for 4.2.x is STILL in 4.2.7! After some more work, I managed to get this thing untethered!
You need to add the pushfix repository [http://cydia.pushfix.info] to Cydia and then install the “Verizon Untether for 4.2.7″ package.
For those who did not jailbreak their Verzion iPhone 4 yet, iH8sn0w release a newer version of sn0wbreeze to support it. You can download it from iH8sn0w website.
The iPhone DevTeam has update PwnageTool to ver 4.3.2 which support iOS 4.3.2 (Untethered). They recently update redsn0w to support iOS 4.3.2 but redsn0w can’t prevent baseband upgrade. Unfortunately iPad2 not supported in this version.
Ultrasn0w also update to version 1.2.2. You can install it via Cydia.
Only a few weeks after the 4.3.1 untether created by @i0n1c was released, Apple pushed out firmware 4.3.2. Thankfully, it appears Apple didn’t have a chance to fix the hole used by @i0n1c’s untether, so he ported his code over to 4.3.2’s kernel. Today’s redsn0w has been updated to include it. The 4.3.2 untether works on all devices that actually support 4.3.2 except for the iPad2: iPhone 3GS iPhone4 (GSM) iPod touch 3G iPod touch 4G iPad1

How to Jailbreak Your iPhone 4 Using PwnageTool (Mac) [4.3.2] Via iClarified
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?
iPhone Dev-Team today release a new version of PwnageTool (MAC only) wich brings untethered jailbreak to all 4.2.1 devices. As you know the major difference between PwnageTool and other jailbreaking solution is that with PwnageTool you can create a custom pre-jailbroken firmware file (.iPSW) and then restore it to your iDevice using iTunes instead of jailbreaking device on the fly. You can also prevent baseband upgrade using PwnageTool, it’s a good news for iPhone unlockers (iPhone 4 [Verizon] & 3GS) because they can safely restore to a custom iOS 4.2.1 pre-jailbroken iPSW and retain their current baseband and unlock.
as the Chronic Dev Team revealed last week with an untether for the 4.2.1 jailbreak, which had previously been a tethered JB for most recent devices since 4.2.1’s release in November. With their permission, we’ve incorporated their 4.2.1 “feedface” untether into today’s PwnageTool 4.2.
This version of pwnagetool also contain iBook fix and also solve AppleTV 2G Wi-Fi problem.
PwnageTool also includes two very recent improvements to the 4.2.1 JB: iBooks was just fixed by @comex and @pushfix last night so that it works as intended on DRMed books, and the wifi problem on AppleTV 2G was fixed by @nitotv, @DHowett, and @saurik. Both of these fixes will also be available in upcoming Cydia package updates, so if you’re already jailbroken you can wait for those updates rather than restore and jailbreak again.
Here is a list of supported devices in PwnageTool 4.2
Feel free to ask for help in comments section.
Recently I upgrade my iPhone 3GS and iPad (Wi-Fi) to iOS 4.2.1. Then use redsn0w 9.6b6-rc8 to jailbreak devices. Everything goes well, redsn0w recognize iPSW file (iPad1,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw), boot iPad into DFU mode, Upload jailbreak data and it says that the jailbreaking process done successfully. After that iPad rebooted but something goes wrong! Let’s take a look at the screen shot of iPad.
Cydia was installed but the icon image was missing and it did not load. It means that redsn0w failed to jailbreak device. Safari App aslo crashed and I can’t open it. I try to re-jailbreak but it fails over and over! Same happens on iPhone 3GS.
If you have any idea for solving this or if you experienced the same problem please let us know via comment section of this post.
Update 1 [Solution] The problem is in tethered jailbreak, both iPhone 3GS and iPad should boot tethered each time you reboot it. I knew that but this also applies to first boot after jailbreak. So I connect my iPad to Mac then run redsn0w and checked the “Just boot tethered …”. redsn0w reboot my devices and now I have Cydia working on them. Many thanks to our friends Wayne & Koyut.
Update 2
Chronic Dev-Team released Greenpois0n which brings an untethered jailbreak to all iOS 4.2.1 devices. -Read More-
