iH8sn0w has released Sn0wbreeze 2.6.1, which will allow Verizon iPhone 4 users to jailbreak their iPhone on iOS 4.2.7, which was released by Apple couple of weeks back.
Sn0wbreeze 2.6, which was released last week already allows GSM iPhone users who want to jailbreak and also unlock their iPhone to update their iPhone with a pre-jailbroken iOS 4.3.2 firmware while preserving the baseband from getting upgraded so that it can be unlocked using Ultrasn0w.
iH8sn0w has provided the following information in the release notes:
Well, after i0n1c released his untether exploit for 4.3.1, Apple shortly pushed out 4.3.2 AND 4.2.7. i0n1c's payload was ported over to 4.3.2 in a short period of time but not 4.2.7. This made Verizon users very frustrated.
I originally ordered a Verizon iPhone 4 for my upcoming SHSH blobs dumper. Then I + many others on twitter realized that an untether was not available for 4.2.7. Over the past few weeks, I've been sick and didn't do much, but today I was finally able to get the strength to work on this Verizon untether. Since i0n1c's payload is not easily reversible, I went to previous exploits.
After trying, pod2g's + posixninja's kernel exploit for 4.2.x is STILL in
4.2.7! After some more work, I managed to get this thing untethered!
So, this new release includes that new payload to untether + jailbreak 4.2.7.
So Sn0wbreeze 2.6.1 now supports an untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.3.2, iOS 4.2.7 and supports the following devices:
-
iPod touch 4G, iPod Touch 3G
Sn0wbreeze 2.6 doesn't support iPad 2 yet. Sn0wbreeze 2.6.1 also allows users to enable four and five finger multitouch gestures, which are only available to developers of iOS developer program.
iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone users who don't care about unlocking are better off using Redsn0w as one doesn't need to preserve baseband like iPhone users.
You can download Sn0wbreeze 2.6.1 from iH8sn0w’s website.
As always, please let us know how it goes.

Excellent, trying it now
Have they lost their mind, just jail break after jail break no unlock nothing. What is wrong with them. Selfish people.
YES Fas, very selfish. Damnit they need to make an unlock NOW for a phone you can’t jailbreak because apple upgraded the software again! Really seriously I want the unlock for a phone thats not jailbroken.
Just a random question…is the dev team still working on jailbreak for iPad 2? No news from them.
I have a verizon iPhone on 4.2.7 could it be jailbroken using sn0wbreeze?
REad the DAMN Article!!!!
So Sn0wbreeze 2.6.1 now supports an untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.3.2, iOS 4.2.7 and supports the following devices:
GSM Phone 4, Verizon iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS
iPod touch 4G, iPod Touch 3G
iPad 1
That means YES!
where is the unlock we are tired of jailbreak stuff
No “WE” are not tired of jailbreaks. Don’t use “WE” because you don’t speak for me.
“I” am quite happy with the jailbreaks. “I” can care less about an unlock. “I” recognize that without jailbreaks you will never unlock your phone. if “I” ever decide “I” need to unlock my phone “I” will be happy that they took the time to make a jailbreak to do it.
How exciting! Can’t wait to upgrade!
Yes Kenny, this is the one for you. It works great guys, no problems at all.
Thanks
Gee, getting tired of all you moaning about the unlock, it will probably never happen, just accept it an move on, if you dont like it then either go elsewhere of buy one that is factory unlocked.
great stuff from iH8sn0w THANKS.
lucky to still be on baseband 05.13.04 but behind on iOS 4.0.1 still. is it safe to update the iOS with older basebands and reunlock with ultrasn0w? no incompatibility issues?
How can you jailbreak the ios 4.2.7 with sn0wbreeze without loosing all your contacts, emails, etc???
