The much anticipated untethered jailbreak tool JailbreakMe 3.0 may be delayed until further notice.This time dependent on the release of iOS 4.3.An Italian site that has contacted with Comex of Spirit and JailbreakMe fame to ask him about whether or not he’s going to release his untethered jailbreak tool for iOS 4.2.1.Comex replied with a sift and simple (similar to Steve Job style e-mails) that it all depends when iOS 4.3 is out. This can be seen in the quick email and replying email address proof provided in the pic below.

The email sent by Andrea Cervone from the Italian iPhone blog (iPhone Italia) asked Comex the following:

Just like Steve Job’s ones, I would like to really receive a short and direct answer to my question: your next tool will jailbreak ready for iOS 4.2.1 or the next iOS 4.3?

Comex replied:

Depends when 4.3 is out.

The email address of Comex as shown in the screenshot above seems authentic as he posted the same address publicly in a reply to a user on his Twitter account.

So as things stand now, the only way to get untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 is to use the latest version of Redsn0w 0.9.7, which requires you to have SHSH blobs of iOS 4.2b3 saved. There is currently no other way to get untethered jailbreak except for Redsn0w. If you don’t have SHSH blobs of iOS 4.2b3 saved, you can use Redsn0w 0.9.6 which can jailbreak (tethered only) all iOS devices on iOS 4.2.1.

Also, Comex untethered jailbreak tool will be released only after Apple releases iOS 4.3 or 4.2.2, whichever they decide to before the major iOS 5.0 release in June this year.
