redsn0w on OS X
redsn0w is an iDevicejailbreaking tool for OS X and Windows. Originally called QuickPwn, but due to exploitation of the name by
www.quickpwn.com , version 0.7 was renamed to redsn0w and added unlocking of supported devices.
Version 0.8 added support for jailbreaking the iPhone 3GS.
Version 0.9b3 was released for Windows and Mac OS X, and it allows iOS 3.0 through 3.1.2 to be jailbroken. It includes support for all devices except the iPod touch (3rd generation), and supports a tethered jailbreak on iPhone 3GS units and iPod touch (2nd generation) units with new bootroms. In addition, this version supports custom boot and recovery mode logos, as well as verbose mode on bootup.
Version 0.9.2 supports jailbreaking of all iDevices (at the time) with iOS 3.0 through 3.1.2 on Windows and Mac OS X, as well as 3.1.3 on S5L8900 devices. Version 0.9.3 adds support of internet tethering IPCC hack on those devices and 0.9.4 allows jailbreaking of early iPod touch (2nd generation) with iOS 3.1.3.
Version 0.9.5b5-5 supports jailbreaking the iPhone 3G and iPod touch (2nd generation) (old bootrom) with iOS 4.0 on Windows and Mac OS X.
Version 0.9.6b6 supports jailbreaking iOS 3.2.2, 4.1, and 4.2.1 for every device that supports those versions (except Apple TV (2nd generation)), on Windows and Mac OS X.
Version 0.9.10b1 adds support for iOS 4.2.6 through 5.0.1 (though iOS 4.2.9, 4.2.10, 4.3.4, 4.3.5, and 5.0 are tethered on devices invulnerable to the 0x24000 Segment Overflow). This build of redsn0w is not capable of jailbreaking S5L8940 or newer devices.

As promised, iPhone Dev team announced Redsn0w 0.9.7b1 untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1. Redsn0w 0.9.7b1 jailbreak is designed to work with iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G and Apple iPad. Those who are using iPhone 3G, iPhone 3G S, iPod Touch 2G on iOS 4.2.1 already have a fully working untethered jailbreak with Redsn0w 0.9.6b6. As you might know, an untethered jailbreak let you restart your device to jailbreak mode, without the need of connecting the device to a computer. Redsn0w 0.9. 7b1 download released today is intended for Mac users who are interested in helping the dev team in testing the jailbreak for any bugs.
These are the requirements for running Redsn0w 0.9.7b1.
An Apple iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G or iPad with iOS 4.2.1 installed.
iOS 4.2.1 ipsw (direct link here).
A developer account with Apple for getting iOS 4.2.1 beta 3.
You need your Signature Hash files saved (on Cydia server) for iOS 4.2.1 beta 3.
Mac OS X.
Steps for iOS 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak with Redsn0w 0.9.7b1.
Jailbreak your iPhone 4, iPad or iPod Touch 4G with Redsn0w 0.9.6 b4 for Mac.
Now Open Cydia and check whether you have Signature Hash files for iOS 4.2b3 saved on Cydia server. If so, proceed to the next step.

Now enter into the DFU mode by following the on screen instructions.
Redsn0w 0.9.7b1 will complete the jailbreak process and will start your device in the untethered mode.
This version of Redsn0w is a little unstable, and therefore, some device options may stop working after jailbreak. So normal users and those who rely on the Ultrasn0w unlock are not advised to use this jailbreak.
