Yesterday Chronic Dev Team released the much-awaited Greenpoison Tool to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 untethered on all idevices i.e., iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS (all bootroms), iPhone 3G, iPod Touch 4G, iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 2G (all bootroms) and iPad.
Now the only iOS device which needs untethered jailbreak support on iOS 4.2.1 is Apple TV 2G.
Here is a good news for all those ATV2 users who are interested to jailbreak their device to have more fun on it.
In his recent reply to a user’s tweet, @pod2g, the key member of Chronic Dev Team said that Greenpois0n RC6 would bring untethered jailbreak support for Apple TV 2G on iOS 4.2.1.
BlamJam: greenpois0n rc5/5.2 not workingwith AppleTV2 – @pod2g says it will in next build.
pod2g: @BlamJam sorry but I was talking about RC6.
