February 4th, 2011 admin

A new day, A new jailbreak has just arrived!  The Chronic Dev Team has just been released GreenPois0n RC5 to the public to bring an untethered jailbreak for all iDevices.  Unlike RedSn0w 0.9.7, this does not require 4.2b3 SHSH files to be saved on Cydia.  If you just got your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch for Christmas and want to jailbreak it now, then this is the jailbreak method for you :)  Method below, and problems and solutions below:

**IMPORTANT** – THIS UPDATE WILL JAILBREAK THE VERIZON AND AT&T IPHONE 4/3GS, IPOD TOUCH 4G/3G/2G, IPAD, AND THE APPLE TV 2ND GEN!

**PLEASE READ** – IF YOUR IPHONE REQUIRES AN UNLOCK, STAY AWAY FROM THIS OR EVEN UPDATE YOUR IPHONE TO 4.2.1!

GUIDE:

STEP 1: DOWNLOAD GREENPOIS0N RC6.1 HERE MAC OSX!

DOWNLOAD GREENPOIS0N RC6.1 HERE WINDOWS!

STEP 2: CONNECT YOUR IDEVICE TO YOUR COMPUTER, AND LAUNCH GREENPOIS0N RC5

STEP 3: CLICK THE JAILBREAK BUTTON AS SEEN IN THE SCREENSHOT BELOW

STEP 4: FOLLOW THE ONSCREEN INSTRUCTIONS AND ENTER YOUR IDEVICE INTO DFU MODE

  • Press and hold the sleep button for 2 seconds
  • Continue holding sleep; press and hold home for 10 seconds.
  • Release sleep button; continue holding home for 15 seconds.

STEP 5: GREENPOIS0N WILL START JAILBREAKING YOUR IDEVICE

STEP 6: ONCE GREENPOIS0N SAYS “COMPLETE” , YOU CAN LET GO OF THE HOME BUTTON AND CLICK THE “COMPLETE” BUTTON AND QUIT GREENPOIS0N

STEP 7: YOUR IDEVICE SHOULD SHOW THE LOADER APP ON YOUR HOMEPAGE; TAP TO OPEN IT

STEP 8: USE THE LOADER APPLICATION TO INSTALL CYDIA.  ONCE THE DOWNLOAD IS COMPLETE, YOUR IDEVICE WILL RESPRING, AND YOU WILL SEE THE CYDIA APPLICATION ON YOUR HOMEPAGE WHICH MEANS YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY JAILBROKEN AND UNTETHERED YOUR IDEVICE ON 4.2.1.  **YOU MAY DELETE THE LOADER APP AFTER INSTALLING CYDIA**

ENJOY! :D

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS WITH THE GREENPOIS0N RC5 UNTETHERED JAILBREAK:

  • Problem : I got stuck in “Greenpois0n initialized”, retried, re updated. It remains the same.
  • Solution : open “terminal”, type SUDO, open Greenpois0n as “Show package contents”, go MacOS folder & drag greenpois0n to terminal & hit enter. / Via iSurenix /
  • Problem : My iPhone / iPod is showing blank (black) screen after jailbreak, iPhone / iPod is still in DFU mode after applying jailbreak.
  • Solution : Leave your iDevice for two minutes, now press and hold both power and home button at the same time for 10-15 seconds until your iPhone / iPod boot as normal.
  • Problem : Greenpois0n loader is crashing when I install Cydia, I am unable to install cydia via greenpois0n loader.
  • Solution : For those having trouble getting Cydia via the GP Loader, just let redsn0w install it (don’t choose the Monte option) / Via MuscleNerd /
