[04:25:59] <%ven000m> yeah, and pod2g found a new exploit
[04:26:06] <%ven000m> which gives you verbose boot on every reboot

Awesome!!! It's all over Twitter as well!!! The wait is over!

 

[Gregoris]

yep! its about time! and ive upgraded to 4.3 beta damn it lol so the wait continues for me... oh well

 

[Gregoris]

they are saying in irc that its for mac only atm linux and windows coming later

 

[Rising]

So theres still no untethered version for window users seriously?

Read up on the sites... they clearly say that RC5 has just been released for Mac, and are currently porting it to Linux and Windows. Shouldn't be too long at all I'd say.

There hasn't been an untethered version for Mac users up until this point either don't forget, that was 4.2b3, not 4.2.1.

 

[Gregoris]

yes from what i can tell its mac only, i did not know that before posting the thread because linux mac and windows has rc5 download.. what does twitter accounts say?

 

[craigfoot]

posix is saying "Windows version coming very soon".

The greenpois0n site is getting a belting at the moment causing the site to be unavailable. There is a mediafire link going but I'm suss to run it before making sure it's the same as the download on the site.

Also, here is the tutorial for doing it for anyone going to do this...

HOW TO: Jailbreak iPhone 4, 3GS Untethered on iOS 4.2.1 Using Greenpois0n RC5

This is bound to be asked as well... but you must be on a clean 4.2.1 to run this, so backup and restore the standard 4.2.1 image on to your iPhone via iTunes, THEN follow the howto

 

[Gregoris]

or you can download it from a mirror site

nspwn.com/mirror.html given by <@GreySyntax> their site i bet has many thousands pressing refresh and have taken the gp site down

True true I'm just sick of waiting like so many others I'm tethered jb but its just no the same.

I'm going to have a guess and say that they are only talking hours to release the Win version.

I want a Windows version too as I don't have a Mac. Luckily a guy I work with uses a Mac so I'm just doing a restore back to 4.2.1 stock right now

 

[sakumaxp]

i would ike to rejailbreak just to have all services working on my iphone and still be untethered, but it seems like no links or mirrors are working at the moment

 

[craigfoot]

"there is currently a bug where it only supports Snow Leopard. This is likely to be fixed tomorrow." - comex.

I just read the above, you need to be running OSX 10.6 to be able to use greenpois0n at the moment, otherwise it crashes out immediately like myself and sakumaxp are seeing. It is looking for 10.6 libraries which aren't present.

 

[Gregoris]

i use snow lep 10.6.6..

but sounds like even a lot of mac users will need to wait for an updated version of gp..

i have everything apart from 4.2.1... ill be waiting longer then windows users for a jb. im also surprised they did not save the jb hole for 4.3 release so they dont burn it
