Update For iOS 4.2 iPhone Jailbreakers And Unlockers From iPhone Dev Team

Recently, iPhone Dev Team has published a quick update on their blog for users who want to jailbreak and/or unlock their iPhone.

Apple had seeded developers of iOS Developer Program with iOS 4.2 GM last week and it is widely speculated that Apple will release iOS 4.2 on Friday, November 12th.

iPhone Dev Team have provided the following details on their blog:

• By all accounts, we’re within a few days of Apple’s official public release of Firmware 4.2.  Here’s what you need to know:
• Thanks to geohot’s limera1n exploit, and our original pwnage2 exploit, and @pod2g’s ipod2g-MC exploit, absolutely all devices at all iOS firmware versions are capable of being jailbroken.
• The untethered jailbreak of those very latest FWs and latest devices depends on @comex hacks.  His hacks so far extend only to 4.1 and 4.2beta3.  He’s working on a way to extend it to 4.2 and beyond.  Just wait for him to work out his method.
• iPhone 3G and 3GS unlockers will be covered by our upcoming unlock.  Stay away from any updates to Apple FW until our official release and you’ll be okay.  Just stay away from all Apple IPSWs
• iPhone4 unlockers are not left out in the cold. @sherif_hashim has found some very promising avenues to pursue.  Those will be explored as soon as possible after all the 4.2 madness.

What does this mean to you?

• If you’re an unlocker, just stay where you are.  Please, just stay where you are.  Any mistakes you make now may be permanent.
• If you only care about the jailbreak and you’re absolutely sure you have your personalized 4.1 SHSH hashes, feel free to experiment but keep in mind that any mistakes you make may result in your losing pictures or notes or bookmarks that you’d rather keep.  Honestly unless you love living on the bleeding edge, it’s better to just wait for official updates from Cydia/redsn0w/PwnageTool.
• Don’t buy or donate to any unlock or jailbreak scammers.  Every legitimate solution you will find for unlocks or jailbreaks will be offered without an extended hand.  That’s how the iPhone jailbreak/unlock community has succeeded.  It’s about freedom to do what you want with your $300 device —  not about donations, egos, tweets, or “interviews.”

Stay tuned here, we’ll let you know as soon as we’ve any further updates.
