How to Jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 with GreenPois0n 1.0 RC5 - Untethered

As NewzCore readers should well know by now, the Chronic Dev Team has released Greenpois0n 1.0 RC5, an update to their jailbreak utility which, in its current state, can effectively provide an untethered jailbreak to iOS 4.2.1 devices. The jailbreak tool also does not require developer saved SHSH blobs of 4.2b3.

Those who enjoy the benefits of rocking a jailbroken iOS device should be aware that there are certain people in Cupertino, California that don’t condone the practice and even make a habit out of voiding warranties if they find out that folks jailbroke their unit.

Then again, a vocal group called the Electronic Frontier Foundation once said it was legal to jailbreak.

So it’s ultimately your decision, and your decision only. Softpedia assumes no responsibility should anything happen to your iOS device during the process of jailbreaking, or thereafter.

Plus, you have our disclaimer at the bottom of this guide, just to make sure we’ve made everything crystal clear for you.

Also note that Greenpois0n 1.0 RC5 will not provide a carrier unlock and will, in fact, break it.

This guide is for Mac OS X users only.

The same steps should apply for Windows and Linux users when Greenpois0n 1.0 RC5 becomes available for those platforms as well.

Without further ado, jailbreaking iOS 4.2.1 with Greenpois0n 1.0 RC5 is done as follows:


1. Backup your iPhone / iPod touch / iPad using iTunes, just in case anything goes wrong and you need to restore your firmware to a stock IPSW.

2. Download GreenPois0n 1.0 RC5 from Chronic Dev.

3. Connect iOS device to your computer.

4. Launch GreenPois0n and click on “Jailbreak”.

5. Follow the onscreen instructions and proceed to timely press the buttons on your iOS device as instructed:
- Press and hold sleep button for 2 seconds;
- Continue holding sleep, press and hold home button for 10 seconds;
- Release sleep button, continue holding home button.

6. With your iOS device now in DFU mode (or so it should be at this point), click on the “jailbreak” button. Now Greenpois0n will inject its ‘poison’ in your iOS device, jailbreaking it.

7. Allow your iDevice to reboot. At this point, you are already jailbroken.

8. Once your device is up and running again, you can install Cydia by tapping on the “Loader” icon which should be present on one of your home screens.

That’s it!


This article has a purely informational purpose and doesn't, in any way, suggest that you should hack your Apple device.

Using hacks may render your device unusable, or may reduce the quality of your experience employing the respective device.

If you choose to download and install jailbreak tools, you will do so at your own risk. Unlocking / jailbreaking your iPhone / iPod touch / iPad / Apple TV may violate your warranty or the EULA with Apple and / or your cellular-service provider.

New Free App from AT&T For iPhone.

For as long as U.S. residents will continue to use their iPhones on AT&T’s buggy network, now that Verizon has entered the scene, the operator has prepared a Connect Audio Conference Monitor app which allows users to join and monitor an AT&T Connect Audio Conference using their iPhone.

According to the U.S. provider of telephony services originally chosen by Apple to carry its iPhone in 2007, AT&T Connect Audio Conference Monitor permits hosts and participants to attend an audio conference from virtually anywhere in the world.

“AT&T Connect Audio Conference Monitor makes mobile access to conferencing easy with the Call Me feature,” the operator explains.

The application provides updates on who else is on the conference and which participant is talking, as soon as the users hits “join”, AT&T informs.

The company elaborates: “When you receive an email or calendar invitation to a meeting that contains an Audio Conference Monitor URL, just click on the ‘Click here to join Conference Monitor’ link.”

At this point, the app will launch to join the Audio Conference while the user can select if he / she is a ‘Guest, or a ‘Host’ of the conference.

“You can join by dialing in or via ‘Call Me’ where the conference bridge can dial you (if your company has this option enabled),” AT&T’s how-to continues.

“With this single click, AT&T Connect automatically prompts you into an audio conference,” the iPhone carrier concludes.

The key features of AT&T Connect Audio Conference Monitor are listed as follows:

Features
• Call Me and Dial In features that simplify audio setup
• Automatic prompts guide you into an Event
• Invite others by email
• As a meeting host/presenter, you can invite others by phone, mute/un-mute other users, rename a user, expel a user, set entry/exit tones, record the audio conference, lock the conference or end the conference
• Interactive participants list: See/hear the other participants in the conference.
• Mute or unmute

AT&T Connect Audio Conference Monitor calls for any iPhone running iOS 3.0 and higher, and an active 3G cellular network or WiFi connection.

The AT&T Connect Audio Conference Monitor Mobile application does not function in airplane mode.

Exclusive First Look At Apple i phone 5

It may be too early to speculate further than what these pictures purport to show, but readers are more than welcome to share their impressions with us in the comments.

The source of these images is reportedly GlobalDirectParts.com.

Comparison between the alleged iPhone 5 (assembled) and the current-generation iPhone (4)
“We have carefully examined and scrutinized these components and have confirmed 100% that these are born from an Apple iPhone not yet released,” the PDA and smartphone parts supplier said.

“Could it be parts for the CDMA Apple iPhone 5 for Verizon Wireless or simply a reworked Next Generation Apple iPhone 5 or Apple iPhone 4 for AT&T that will be released ahead of Apple’s Traditional June Launch?” GlobalDirectParts.com asks.




“Perhaps these parts belong to an Apple iPhone 4 CDMA Version that will be released on Verizon Wireless Only? One thing is for certain, these parts are new and internals for a yet unreleased Apple iPhone Handset,” the company concludes.

It is possible, some claim, that the new design pertains to an improved version of the iPhone 4, perhaps the one rumored to emerge on the Verizon CDMA network.

And while the clearly visible SIM card tray would indicate otherwise, it is also possible that Apple is going for a universal design with the upcoming iPhone model, be it an improved version of the current-generation handset, or the 5.0 iteration of its insanely popular smartphone.

Perhaps it is worth noting that Apple pundit John Gruber (of the Daring Fireball) calls the news “Crazy.”

He adds: “My guess is that these are parts from N92, the upcoming (but as yet still unnannounced) CDMA iPhone 4. But why a SIM card slot? World compatibility?”, he writes.

Thinner! With shiny glass back piece – 9.3 mm thick.
