Step 1: Download both iOS 4.2 & iOS 4.1.

Step 2: Update to iOS 4.2 firmware using the IPSW file via iTunes 10.1 Beta 2.

Step 5: Now make sure your device is both OFF and PLUGGED IN to the computer before you click “Next”.
At this stage you will be presented with a screen where you will have to quickly hold “Power” button and then while holding the “Power” button, you will now have to hold “Home” button too. Now after few seconds release “Power” button but keep holding “Home” button until installation begins.
