[WARNING] Apple Has Put a Baseband Requirement on iOS

Apple has release iOS 4.2.1, but not alone, it has merged some traps with this version for jailbreakers and unlockers with the introduction of a baseband requirement for iOS starting from the newly released iOS 4.2.1. Precisely, if you are using Saurik’s server or tiny umbrella and trying to restore 4.2.1 on an iPhone 4, you will end up in recovery mode and tiny umbrella will not be able to pull you out of recovery.

TheBigBoss: It seems that Apple has decided to put a baseband requirement on iOS. So at this point, if you are using Saurik’s server or tiny umbrella and trying to restore 4.2.1 on an iPhone 4, you will end up in recovery mode and tiny umbrella will not be able to pull you out of recovery. In this case, you will have to restore 4.1 again or you will have to restore 4.2.1 stock and be tether jailbroken. (Of course, I recommend 4.1 and not bothering with 4.2.1 at all). If you are an unlocker, this is a no brainier. Do not update to 4.2.1 even to test it at this point.

So we highly recommend to stay on iOS 4.1 and wait until the situation became stable, specially who want preserve their unlock. for now you can check iOS 4.2.1 features form here, and its jailbreak guide with redsn0w 0.9.6b4 from here. Stay tuned

PDF Patch Fixes JailbreakMe 2.0 PDF Exploit for all iPhone, iPod Touch And iPad

Yesterday, Apple has released iOS 4.0.2 that solves the problem of security present on Safari which it was possible to obtain privileges that allow malicious code execution. The exploit, as you well know, has been used by Comex for the jailbreak of all devices. The new update, does not affect users of the iPhone 2G and iPod Touch 1G as iOS 4 is not available for these devices.

Therefore Apple did not consider these terminals in its updated and easy that people may exploit this flaw to create real options to JailbreakMe. To remedy this, Saurik has created a package on Cydia that fix the bug in all iDevices having any firmware version (even  iOS 2.x). PDF patch, this is his name, will be available soon ( after some more thorough testing).

Please note that by running the update on your iPhone / iPod Touch / iPad, you will lose the ability to jailbreak your iDevice, especially if you do not have to save SHSH blobs, but if you already done so you can downgrade by following this guide.

Update 1: The package is now freely available through the repository of Saurik here.
