While the iPhone Dev Team is working hard to bring untethered Redsn0w 0.9.7 jailbreak, Chronic Dev Team member Joshua Hill behind GreenPois0n jailbreak tool has just posted on his Twitter account that he'll bring untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 by the next GreenPois0n version.

p0sixninja: A lot of people are saying another tethered jailbreak is pointless, I agree. Focusing on getting untethered before release

More interesting news that this won't require SHHS blobs for 4.2b3 unlike the iPhone Dev Team's Redsn0w 0.9.7, according to a reply for someone asking if it is based on the same exploit Comex working on, and whether or not it will require SHSH blobs for 4.2b3 unlike Redsn0w 0.9.7.

There's no ETA yet but we'll come back with more updates ! [Source: Twitter]

Apparently, we are close from the release of a new version of Greenpois0n to support iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak on iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod touch 4G, 3G and iPad. Joshua Hill, the hacker behind Greenpois0n jailbreak (Chronic dev-team) has confirmed this on his twitter.

iPhoneHelpr asking: I think the available latest build from the GP site is rc3_3
p0sixninja (Joshua Hill) replying: yea, at this point in time rc5 is right around the corner so we're just pressing ahead to get it out asap

Unfortunately, Greenpois0n RC5 will be tethered jailbreak for a while due to lack of time, Greenpois0n was scheduled to be release by the new year day but some more kernel patches in sandbox have to be applied, therefore, it has been delayed from its first targeted timeline.

rockybsr08 asking: I should clarify. Is it untethered on all devices?
p0sixninja (Joshua Hill) replying: no, i've been too busy working on updating it I haven't had much time to work on exploits. I'm only human!

In the above quoted text sections, it is expected to see the tethered Greenpois0n within few days then it will be followed the untethered one when they got the enough time for that. Stay tuned.

The iPhone hacker p0sixninja, behind GreenPois0n jailbreak tool has just posted on his Twitter account that he will update GreenPois0n tool to support the newly released iOS 4.2.1 on all iOS devices.

GreenPois0n should be updated to support 4.2.1 (tethered or semitethered) within a few days.

However, we'll keep you updated whenever the tool is available for download and we'll post full how-to guides to use the tool, stay tuned.
