You may don't need to restore or re-jailbreak your device to get the new iOS 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak, according to this tweet from Comex. This means that you'll not need to install Redsn0w and use it to get the untethered jailbreak, it should be added a Cydia package on some repository like BigBoss or ModMyi on Cydia.

comex: it's probably going to be a Cydia package. if I can get it to work.

However, comex's untethered jailbreak is delayed and won't be released by the Christmas Eve so you have to take in mind that the iPhone Dev Team has it's own backup plan that requires iOS 4.2 beta 3 SHSH blobs to be able to get the untethered jailbreak. More updates as they come ! Stay tuned !

2010 was the most wonderful year for Apple. In a video by Youtube user tszheichoi, a look back at all the exciting moments of Apple in 2010.


Well, it was really an extraordinary year for Apple. It introduced iPhone 4, iPad 3G, iPad 3G + Wi-Fi, Safari 5, iTunes 10, iOS 4, Sneak peek on Mac OS X Lion, FaceTime for Mac, the all new MacBook mini, iLife 11, the Beatles on iTunes, Mac app store to be opened on Jan 6... and more and more ! Take a look at the video below. [iSpazio]

Apple has missed this feature too! Pull to Refresh Safari is the latest jailbreak tweak that adds pull to refresh feature from Twitter app for iPhone. It was just few days ago when Pull to Refresh Mail released which added the same unique refreshing capability to the stock Mail app.


Once you download the tweak, tap to Safari and slide the page down till you see the refresh message. Now release your finger and the page will automatically be refreshed, just the same as you touch the refresh button.
Pull to Refresh Safari is available in Cydia for free under BigBoss repoistory ! Go get it while it's hot !

Let the drama begin! We already knew it's happening, SHAtter bootrom exploit is now leaked and it's between Apple's hands! Who leaked it and for what reason? it's still unclear. What's clear is that Apple is going to patch it Limera1n exploit, and SHAtter exploit together in the new iOS devices.


When Limera1n was released two months ago, Chronic Dev Team decided to save SHAtter for next generation devices and don't release it but it seems like pod2g, the developer behind SHAtter bootom exploit, has published it in IRC between 15 person as MuscleNerd states.

iPhone hacker p0sixninja of the Chronic Dev Team is pointing a blame finger to Musclenerd of the iPhone Dev Team. As Musclenerd concentrates on unlocks, it seems unreasonable to think he’d leak an exploit he would need in order to create an unlock.

There's still some wonders if the real SHAtter code is burned or not as this part of Comex's tweet saying (the real) SHAtter digging further into Twitter shows that maybe a fake exploit was leaked on purpose.
Though we don't know if the real SHAtter is leaked or not, feel free to share your ideas in the comment section below! [TiPB]

Comex has promised the iOS community with iOS 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak to launch before the Christmas but this tweet from Comex means that nothing is going to be released by the Christmas, i.e. we may not see that untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 by this Christmas. Though keep the hopes up!


Yeah, don't forget that the iPhone Dev Team already has the backup plan and may be merged with Redsn0w to bring 1-click untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1. Comex's userland-jailbreak may take longer. Anyway, stay tuned for more updates as they come !
