The jailbreak solutions for iOS 4.1 haven't even been released yet and there is already talk about the next jailbreak solution for iOS 4.2, but that's normal considering that Apple will release iOS 4.2 in just a few weeks. For now we know that limera1n si greenpoison could be the jailbreak solutions that we will be able to use to jailbreak our terminals on iOS 4.1, but it would sound that greenp0ison could also be used to jailbreak iOS 4.2. The exploit used to jailbreak iOS 4.1 is a tethered one, but comex worked on developing a method to jailbreak untethered and succeeded. Unfortunately greenp0ison will not work with iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 3G, but with iOS 4.2 comex will release a new userland jailbreak that will also jailbreak for these terminals. He will use a different exploit for iOS 4.2, but unfortunately it will be userland, which means you will again need cards to activate the phones before the jailbreak.
Greenp0ison seems to jailbreak for iPad, iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G even on iOS 4.2 but it will be a tethered jailbreak, but the comex exploit for iOS 4.2 will be implemented in greenp0ison to make the solution untethered.
In short, the jailbreak solution for iOS 4.2 will require terminal activation, will work with all devices and will be untethered. About DECODE we talked here and I will not resume the subject.
For those who don't know yet:
- tethered jailbreak – the need to redo the jailbreak (not to reinstall the entire iOS) if the phone is restarted;
- untethered jailbreak – eliminates the need to redo the jailbreak (not to reinstall the entire iOS) if the phone is restarted.
