iphone 4 4.2.1 jailbreak fail fix (with greenp0ison rc5)

I was having trouble. Green poison kept running and saying ‘failed’.

Soooo I eventually found this int the comments here. Which helped, although I don’t think is the answer…

I ran this, using Sudo and greenp0ison, and then noticed what the real problem was…

Lack of internet!

If you are getting a ‘:-( Failed’ when running green poison to jailbreak your iphone 4 on 4.2.1 odds are you aren’t online.

As soon as i wandered back into wifi signal it picked it up and got the files it needed from the internets.

Now sure why this isn’t made clearer on the official site, but the program needs to access apple servers to perform the jailbreak.


And to anyone having problems getting Cydia installed with green poison, simply rin RedSn0w with the ‘install cydia only’ option afterwards.

Job done.

Hope this saves someone some bother!
