Jailbreakers and Unlockers Guide: Read this before updating your iPhone to iOS 4.2.

There is a lot of hype surrounding the official public release of iOS 4.2 for iPhone, iPad and iPod as well as the release date of ultrasno0w unlock for iPhone iPhone 3G, 3Gs and iPhone 4. In the drunkenness of this hype, many are bound to make mistakes. It is therefore important that you read this general guide very carefully so as to avoid making very reg ratable mistakes:
Guide for Jailbreakers.

• The good news is that the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch are capable of being jailbroken regardless of their iOS firmware version. This means that even the yet to come iOS 4.2 is jailbreakable.
  
• Untethered jailbreaks of the latest iOS firmwares depend on the @comex hacks. However, currently this hack has extended up to iOS 4.2 and 4.2 beta 3. This means that untethered jailbreaks are not currently available for all devices on iOS 4.2.
  
• From the above, it is CLEAR THAT:
  
  • IF you depend on untethered jailbreaks then do not update to iOS 4.2
    
  • IF you only depend on jailbreaking, then feel free to update to iOS 4.2
    

Guide for Unlockers:

• iPhone 3G and 3Gs unlockers can expect the ultrasno0w unlock a few days after iOS 4.2 goes public.
  
• iPhone 4 unlockers are a little bit out of luck; however this may change since @sherif_hashim has found a promising exploit that could potentially lead to a unlocking solution for iPhone 4.
  
• From the above, it is CLEAR THAT:
  
  • IF you are a iPhone 3G or 3Gs owner and you depend on unlocking tools, then STAY away from the iOS 4.2 update and WAIT FOR THE DEV Team to release the Official release the UNLOCKING TOOL FOR iOS 4.2.
    
  • IF you are a iPhone 4 owner that depends on unlocking, then DO NOT UPDATE.
    

CONCLUSION.
In general, jailbreakers and unlockers should be patient and wait for the official public version of iOS 4.2 to be tested and scrutinized by specialists before they make serious mistakes. In fact, any mistake on your side could leave you frustrated for a very long time as well as expose you to fraudulent and bogus scams that will rip you of your hard earned cash.
