Works perfect, remember to restore your iphone before anything. to 4.2.1 thats the best way to go on about this. dont jump from one jailbreak to another, thats most likely why most of your ipads are messed up.
i love this site, it makes everything look soo simple, and it is indeed too ;-)
Mine is the most wierd, i wonder i the ipad 64gb has problems, i face the same failed jailbreak and reboots itself, but it works on my iphone 4 n my ipad 16gb, so anyone can tell me whts wrong with th 64gb? I even tried using multiple computers, cables and ports, greenpsn or redsnow didn't wrk as well, even after itunes update still dont work,......
Worked perfectly , I first used the tethered Redsn0w jailbreak then applied Greenposi0n Untethered jailbreak .
Everything works fine .
Thanks for everyone who created this jailbreak !
Hi, hope someone can clarify.

if i to use GreenPois0n untethered jb for 4.2.1, do i loose all those apps?
thx
Ok, I have an Ipad 3g, but have never used the 3g. I got it in case I went on vacations and wanted internet access beyond wifi.
Question - Is the Ipad 3g even locked to a carrier?
If so, will upgrading to 4.2.1 lock it back down as I am on 3.2 now.
