The API could be used by spyware and was primarily IT departments that began developing applications criticising the device. Apple has not given a reason for ending the device, but blame rests on the insufficiency of keeping the headset secure for enterprise users.
Jailbreak Check
With the iOS 4.0 update in June, Apple had introduced mobile device management APIs that would let third-party mobile device management (MDM) applications have direct server access to iOS features and information. Basically, third-party apps could check if the iOS device has been jailbroken or not. Apple didn’t give any formidable explanation on why the API was dropped and several mobile device management API users would certainly be hunting for alternatives already.
Updated Version
RedSn0w has been updated to version 0.9.6b5 which will jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 on iPhone 3GS, 3G and iPhone 4 and will update the baseband to 06.15 on iPhone 3GS and 3G so make it unlockable. iPhone 4 users are still out of luck and we will update you as soon as iPhone 4 unlock is release. Follow our guide below for both mac and windows on how to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 on RedSn0w 0.9.6b5 and update baseband to 06.15 after the break. If you have an old-bootrom 3GS and are already unlockable but want to get to 4.2.1, please wait til iPhone Dev Team release an �unofficial� bundle for you.
Anticipated Release
But now it looks like an untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 is coming soon. Famed hacker MuscleNerd has posted a video showing a jailbroken iPod touch 4th generation rebooting. There are no wires anywhere in sight, but after rebooting MuscleNerd opens the Cydia store and other apps that are only available on jailbroken devices.
