Jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 GM on iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G and iPod touch 4G, 3G with Redsn0w 0.9.6b2 [Guide]

Today we broke the news about the release of iOS 4.2.1 GM for iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G, iPod touch 4G, 3G and iPad. Now you can use Redsn0w 0.9.6b2 to jailbreak all these iOS devices. Moreover I have collected the direct download links for iOS 4.2.1 GM to all above mentioned devices.

You have to note that Cydia doesn't work till now due to some issues on the private APIs used by Cyida which has been changed by Apple. Bud don't worry the developers has fixed these issues and it is only a matter of time as they are waiting for the iOS 4.2.1 public release. For now you can install jailbroken-apps via SSH - until we got the new Cydia version - as you have full root access on your iOS device.

Remove Cydia Ads to Speed Up Cydia [Guide]

I think most of you are often suffering from Cydia ads, specially when the ads make it difficult to use the app without accidentally tapping on the ads. It makes sense to find ads on the free apps, but at  the same time and at the least I want to be able to do things such as read the app descriptions, see details and etc. Therefor I will show you - after the jump - a very simple way to get rid of Cydia ads.

STEP 1: FTP/SSH to your device.

STEP 2: Find this file /Applications/Cydia.app/package.js

STEP 3: Search for this, you may find it in line 209:

if (depiction == null)

Change it to:

if (depiction == null || true)

STEP 4: Now enjoy an ad free Cydia.

Here is the screen-shots before and after:

Of course if you want to see the ads again you simply have to reverse step 3. [via DailyMobiles]
