how does ipad 4.2.1 Untethered version works ?

Normally, I don’t recommend users with jailbroken devices to upgrade their software until there is a untethered jailbreak released for the new software. Since iOS 4.2 has so many new features and since iPad users don’t require a unlock, it makes sense for most iPad users to upgrade to iOS 4.2.The draw back is you are left waiting for a untethered jailbreak that will work with iOS 4.2.1.

Good news for all the Apple device users , that make use of iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad and smart phone user . According to one of the member of iPhone Dev Team, has get a backup plan for an untethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak on the Appledevices such as iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. It is not a new utilize. This a “backup” plan to Comex’s userland technique which is coming almost immediately. Also this technique is generalizable. You should have already saved SHSH dashes of your iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad or else this technique will not work.

Usually, I don’t propose users with jailbroken smartphones to upgrade their software unless there is a untethered jailbreak launched for the new software. As iOS 4.2 has so lots of new characteristics and because iPad users don’t need a unlock, it formulates logic for most iPad users to upgrade to iOS 4.2.The disadvantage is you are left behind you a untethered jailbreak that will function with iOS 4.2.1.

For the people who has upgraded their iPad to iOS 4.2 and wish to jailbreak the device, I suggest waiting unless l there is a untethered jailbreak. There are a few tethered jailbreaks that will function but you will have to connect in your iPad each time you boot it to execute your jailbreak apps .There are no benefits to a tethered jailbreak, a tethered jailbreak implying that every time your device loses battery power or requires to be restarted , you must connect it to a PC or Mac to boot into the jailbroken condition except you’re in a big rush to jailbreak, you’re possibly better off waiting.
