iPhone Dev-Team which has pretty much been at the forefront of all Redsn0w and jailbreak news has had MuscleNerd confirm earlier today via Twitter that users will be able to untether their iPhone jailbreak on iOS 4.2.1 using the next version of Redsn0w, which will have this option to untether jailbreak without the user having to restore the device. Check out the actual tweets down below.
MuscleNerd: Thanks to comex, redsn0w can now handle much bigger files than ramdisk 25MB limit. Useful for "backup plan" 4.2 untether
MuscleNerd: @jkurtz87 it shouldn’t require a restore…just another redsn0w run. (That’s the goal!)
One may ask, how exactly will they benefit from the next version of Redsn0w? Well primarily and rather crucially, users wouldn’t have to reinstall any of their Cydia or iTunes’ apps, they’ll simply have to rerun Redsn0w jailbreak and it will be good to go.
Regardless of the fact that a definite release date for the next version of Redsn0w for all iOS devices has not be given out yet, it is expected to be available for download around Christmas ever, which falls later this weekend.
