    Apologies if this is a dumb question, but I have a jailbroken 3G that still has 4.01 IOS and FW 05.13.04 This new hack seems to be targeted to folks who had updated their FW to 05.14 or 05.15 and were already using 4.1, which I have steadfastly refused to do, despite how freakin' slow my 3G runs on 4.01 Is there an easier/simpler/safer way for me to upgrade to 4.1 or 4.2 IOS while still maintaining my JB and ability to unlock?

    I just did the whole process,it took about an hour and a half,my device is a 3GS which serial starts like this 88015 so it should be one of the new bootroms.This is what I did.1-I downloaded the 4.2.1 firmware.1-I updated to 4.2.1 via itunes 10.13-Right after all the steps,after updating and with the phone activated and up and running.4-Downloaded Redsnow 0.9.6b5 and followed all the steps,just like the app asked me to do.It took a while to change the baseband,so do not get scared and just keep following the steps.I thought tethered jailbreak was worse,but it is not FOR ME.IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT IT,ASK OR GO TO THE DEV TEAM SITE AND READ ABOUT TETHERED VS UNTETHERED.If you have any questions just ask me,and go for it.

    I want an untethered jailbreak. So much simpler. And I don't think the new features are that useful to me or my cousin. For one, my 3GS is still on 4.0.1 and I love it.

    My itunes is 10.1, but not the latest that just released. Not sure if that makes a different.

    Did you get to DFU Mode?

    Yes, it should be the same process. But you need to ask yourself why you want to go to 4.2.1In this case, my cousin doesn't have apple tv and a networked hp printer. So the airplay and airprint features are just useless to him. The only useful feature is probably the text search function in safari. But i think the untetherness of ios 4.1 outweigh the slight improvements of ios 4.2.1 here. So I chose not to update to 4.2.1

    And I am sure safari will not work either that should mean you just jailbroke the device,so now start the same process you started to jailbreak with redsnow and then choose the option "JUST BOOT TETHERED RIGHT NOW" and follow the steps,that should do it.That's what happens with a tethered jailbreak.

    This jailbreak just isn't working for me :(I left it connected for over 2hrs, and it didn't get past 'waiting for reboot'. Looked at some other blogs and seen pics of Redsn0w page showing 'install ipad baseband', but my redsn0w downloaded from the devteam blog doesn't have this option. Could this be my problem?

    Redsnow Worked a charm 3g & 3gs (ios 4.2.1 + 3.2.2 + itunes 10.1)Side note- pretty sure itunes 10.1 doesnt allow for any restore of older FW.(Didnt for me)After completing unlock i removed itunes 10.1 &returned back to itunes 9.2 (dont forget to edit your itunes LIBs in music folder) Bingo i can carry on upgrading/downgrading my other Devs.
