GreenPois0n - Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1



It's a matter of choice and discretion if you want to jailbreak your iDevice. As for me, my 3GS got jailbroken within its first week in my hands - that was back in 20' ten.


Rumor has it that Apple isn't releasing an iOS update in the near future, so the current iOS - 4.2.1 has been flying high so far. Then in a spur of a moment, greenpois0n got released for the Mac, i got a tweet from my Twitter friend asking how'd it went on my device, i got toungue-tied, for im no Mac user. To quote Engadget, "it has been a pain of two days"...  the untethered jailbreak for Windows has finally set foot on the doorsteps after two days .

Huge thanks to Dundee for his FB post re greenpois0n for windows. At that instant, i immediately jailbroken my device and jumped thru it. 

The experience was one hell of a relief after my 3 tries of synching/following the uncomlicated steps. Honestly, this is far easier than the last time i've jailbroken my device back in 2010's blackra1n.

Rightee yo! i'm reaping the basics of jailbroken device again. Oh, how i missed the sbsettings.










The five icon dock...




And the winterboard... Hang on, i recently not into customizing my themes lately, despite the glamour and aesthetic the Cydia featured themes offers, i got this nah-ah feeling to install... (i am succumbing to being a minimalist slowly, and yeah! slowly!). So as you can see on the below image, DROID lock and unlock sound is the only one being ticked. I have carried this over from my first jailbreak. It was my old lock/unlock sound. The droid sound is awesome!!! Try it!




Currently, i just got so lucky again for the tip of Dundee re carrier customization - i installed Fake Carrier via BigBoss' repository  under Cydia.



What else? Uhm, MXTube, iFile, ABGrouper and Terminal.. Sofar, those are the updates i've made.

To recap, i could say that i'm not really intuit, i know there's a lot more out there to explore and install, but i'm satiated as of this moment with my Sidebar swoosh and the "billymac" carrier on my device.

Despite all these techno-mod on my device, guess what which have i chosen as default for the Who Are You question:

User: Apps, Tweaks, and Themes
Hacker: Adds Command Line tools
Developer: everything, even scary internal stuff

I've selected: Hacker.
