As expected Apple Today release the iOS 4.3.2 for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
This update contains improvements and other bug fixes including: Fixes an issue that occasionally caused blank or frozen video during a FaceTime call Fixes an issue that prvented some international users from connecting to 3G networks on iPad W-Fi + 3G Contains the latest security updates
This update contains improvements and other bug fixes including:
iPhone 4 verizon also updates to iOS 4.2.7 but I can’t find any notes about it.
You can find more information about security updates here on apple support site
Same as newest version of redsn0w Sn0wbreeze 2.5.1 also released to support custom animated boot logo and some bug fixes. The jailbreak process is the same you can find the tutorials here. The new version also support iOS 4.3 on AppleTV 2G.
Change Log for sn0wbreeze 2.5.1
Cydia 1.1.1 is now pre-installed. iPhone 3GS users can now flash the iPad 06.15.00 baseband. Animate (Animated Boot Logos) by the Chronic Dev-Team is now supported. Added afc2 * Apple TV 2 is now fully supported. Added Apple TV 2 DFU Instructions. YouTube issues resolved on hacktivated devices. iPhone 3GS old-bootrom issues fixed (Error 37).
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.

@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?
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.

As predicted Apple has released iOS 4.3.1 for the iDevices. According to Apple, this update:
iPhone
iPad
iPod Touch
BGR reports that they seen iOS 4.3.1 running on iPhone.
One of our Apple connects just installed the unreleased and unseen iOS 4.3.1 build on one of our iPhones, and we’ve been playing around with it for a couple days. We reported the changes from iOS 4.3 a few days back, and it really does look as if iOS 4.3.1 will simply fix bugs, hence the version numbering. Battery life seems a tad bit better, though that’s not scientific at all.
It might be released within next week. I think the major change in this version is to prevent unlocking or jailbreaking some device.
