New baseband requirement for iOS 4.2.1; Jailbreakers and Unlockers Do not update to iOS 4.2

Notcom, the developer of TinyUmbrella, has indicated that Apple has introduced a new baseband requirement that prevents jailbreakers from restoring their iPhone using either Saurik's server or tiny umbrella. 

According to Notcom:
It seems that Apple has decided to put a baseband requirement on iOS. So at this point, if you are using Saurik’s server or tiny umbrella and trying to restore 4.2.1 on an iPhone 4, you will end up in recovery mode and tiny umbrella will not be able to pull you out of recovery. In this case, you will have to restore 4.1 again or you will have to restore 4.2.1 stock and be tether jailbroken. (Of course, I recommend 4.1 and not bothering with 4.2.1 at all). If you are an unlocker, this is a no brainer. Do not update to 4.2.1 even to test it at this point.
It goes without saying that unlockers should stay away from updating their iPhone to iOS 4.2.


Stay tuned for more!
