Untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.3.3 now available from iPhone dev team
Jailbreakers hesitant to update to iOS 4.3.3 can now do so without losing their ability to jailbreak. The iPhone dev team confirmed iOS 4.3.3 is still vulnerable to the untethered jailbreak exploit that @i0n1c created for 4.3.1. Released earlier this week, this version of iOS fixes the location bug that made headlines a few weeks ago.
Both the PwnageTool and redsn0w have been updated and will jailbreak iOS 4.3.3 devices including the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 (GSM), iPod touch 3G, iPod touch 4G, iPad1 and AppleTV 2G (v4.3;8F202). As we have seen in the past, the iPad 2 is not yet supported and its jailbreak is still under development.
Head over to the dev team's blog for more information about this untethered jailbreak. As with all jailbreak attempts, follow the directions carefully and proceed at your own risk.

I haven't ever used a jailbreak, so it isn't a lamer whine more a curiosity.
If I am already jailbroken at 4.2.1 is there any reason to upgrade to 4.3.3?

I think there's a few little additional things but those are the 2 things that come to mind right away.

May 06 2011 at 9:23 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyDon't use the custom ipsw through iTunes or you will keep getting that error. Just restore your phone with the Original software that apple created and just use the custom ipsw through redsn0w and you will have a jailbroken iPhone. Much easier to do it that way. Hope that helps!
