As you may have heard, Apple is beginning to get petty with their fight against the jailbreak community.
The latest strategy taken on by Apple is to prevent you from reading the books you purchased on iBooks if it detects a jailbroken iPhone.
@Comex responded first with his hilariously named "Hunnypot" solution, and now the Chronic Dev team has followed suit with the release of GreenPois0n RC 6.1...
iOS 4.2.1 has been released for a while now, and up until this weekend, there wasn't a good and practical jailbreak for it. Sure RedSn0w did the trick but since it was a tethered jailbreak, it wasn't very convenient.
Then came RedSn0w untethered jailbreak, which was better than its predecessor, but still wasn't satisfying to most of us. Finally the Chronic Dev Team updated GreenPois0n, which brings a safe and reliable untethered jailbreak for iPhone iOS 4.2.1...
Windows users rejoice! GreenPois0n has been released for Windows machines after seeing a few days of exclusivity for the Mac.
It was earlier today when we reported that the Windows version would make it to jailbreakers this weekend, and now the Chronic Dev Team has made good on its promises.

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few hours, you know that the long awaited GreenPois0n untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 was finally released.
Maybe it's just me, but I always seem to run into some sort of problem with missing or broken Cydia installations after a successful jailbreak.
To fix this issue I was able to install RedSn0w 0.9.6 on top of my GreenPois0n jailbreak with no ill results. By doing this you will still retain your untethered jailbreak, while gaining the necessary Cydia icon.

Now that Greenpois0n RC5 finally provides the long awaited iOS 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak (without the need of SHSH Blobs), many iPhone 4 owners with unlocked iPhones' have been told to hold off upgrading to 4.2.1 as you will lose the ability to unlock (for now).
But thanks to TinyUmbrella developer @notcom, there is now a way to upgrade to iOS 4.2.1 without upgrading your baseband. Unfortunately, currently you will only be able to unlock your iPhone 4 on the older 1.59.00 baseband (modem firmware). So if you are not on the older baseband, you will not be able to unlock your iPhone 4.
For those of you with the older 1.59.00 baseband, follow the guide below to preserve your iPhone 4 baseband and unlock and jailbreak your iPhone 4 on iOS 4.2.1...
The GreenPois0n untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 was released a few minutes ago and I already took it for a spin on my older iPhone 3G sporting iOS 4.2.1.
This step by step guide will show you how to use GreenPois0n to jailbreak your iPhone iOS 4.2.1. It's worth noting that this version will not hacktivate your iPhone and that so far, there is only a Mac version...
After weeks of talks, wait, and rumors, the Chronic Dev Team finally came through with the release of their GreenPois0n untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1.
Up until now, there was no other solution but use a beta version of RedSn0w, which let's be honest, wasn't very stable. I don't know if this release will be better than RedSn0w as there isn't much information about this version of GreenPois0n so far.
All we know is that it works with the iPhone 3G, 3GS, and iPhone running iOS 4.2.1. Even better, unlike RedSn0w, you won't need to have your 42b3 SHSH blobs saved in order for GreenPois0n to work.
If you've been keeping your ear to the street, a.k.a. keeping up with the latest jailbreak news on Twitter, then you may have stumbled upon several rumblings about a "big surprise" that will be included with the upcoming GreenPois0n jailbreak.
This newest version of GreenPois0n will provide an untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 firmware, and is destined to arrive any day now.
What could the so-called "big surprise" be? Will it be something we've seen before? Will it be a totally new feature that will blow our minds?
Chronic Dev Team member @pod2g has been a busy man lately. Just a little over a week ago he unveiled a YouTube video showcasing the latest version of GreenPois0n, which is an untethered jailbreak tool for iOS 4.2.1.
Not one to rest on his laurels, the iPhone hacker tweeted yesterday that he's uncovered yet another exploit.
This latest exploit will also allow for a future untethered jailbreak, as the cat and mouse game between Apple and the jailbreak community carries on...
Windows users, your long wait for an untethered jailbreak for 4.2.1 via Jailbreak Monte is almost over!
Yesterday, via twitter the iPhone Dev Team confirmed that since Apple is still allowing download of the 4.1 IPSW (not blobs) they will at last release a Windows version of RedSn0w 0.9.7 beta...
Late last month, the iPhone Dev Team officially released their jailbreak “backup plan”, which was released because Comex was not able to meet his Christmas ETA. The new jailbreak method, called “Jailbreak Monte” used your saved iOS 4.2b3 SHSH blobs to give your iDevice the first untethered jailbreak on iOS 4.2.1.
The method required you to have an Apple developer account to get a hold of the 4.2 beta 3 IPSW (although the firmware could be pirated, the iPhone Dev Team is strictly against piracy).
Sunday, via Twitter @MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team announced that the untethered jailbreak Monte has been successfully ported back to the 4.1 kernel (SHSH blobs) for iOS 4.2.1.This means that you will now be able to use your saved iOS 4.1 SHSH blobs to get an untethered jailbreak on iOS 4.2.1...
Well, well, well. It looks like someone else is getting into the untethered jailbreak fun for iOS 4.2.1. That's right, today Chronic Dev Team unveiled a teaser video showcasing their untethered jailbreak for the iPhone.
Chronic Dev, the creators of the popular GreenPois0n jailbreak tool, are the same devs behind this upcoming tool for iOS 4.2.1, but they aren't alone in the rush to untether Apple's latest public firmware.
As you know, the Dev Team has been working on beta versions of RedSn0w that is also capable of jailbreaking iOS 4.2.1 untethered.
The more options, the merrier! Check inside for the sweet video details...
