Thank you for the info. what I did was to use a different computer -> my laptop and I used the same version of RedSnow that I used on the previous (office) computer and it worked! I guess there is something in my office machine that has gone haywire or is preventing RedSnow to jailbreak the iPad 2g I was working on. Strange.

Thanks again to all!

Yes I am running as an Administrator. I also tried pointing it to fw iPod2,1_4.1_8B117_Restore.ipsw after reading somewhere that I should point it to the 4.1 and not to the 4.2.1 but still get same error.

I've got an iPod touch 2G updated to OS4.2.1 and the model number is MB531ZP. When I try to jb with RedSnow on WinXP, I get an error message (after selecting firmware iPod2,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw and clicking Next), "Unexpected error during preparation".

What is wrong and how can I jb this iPod? The model begins with an MB and NOT MC so jailbreaking should work. I've tried earlier versions of RedSnow but still the same message.

Please help!

Thanks. I'm looking that is good for SE Asia. I live in the Philippines.

Since you guys are talking about GPS, I was just wondering what is a good GPS app (from Cydia or the app store) that is good and free for the 3g? I tried to look for Navigon (or MotionX) in Cydia but couldn't find that listed.

For some reason Cydia is breaking the original Apple TV-out feature.

I tried installing "TVOut2 Mirror TV Out" (or another option is "Resupported4") and got the video back, but it looks choppy and especially from iTunes it's quite bad as the quality is far lower than the original Apple TV-out feature.

If only there was a way that Cydia could be implemented without losing the original Apple TV-out feature.

Cheers!

I observed that my 3g jb updated to iOS 4.2.1 with bb 06.15 appears not to be able to play video on my TV with my ProDock or Apple TV out cables. When my 3g used to be on 3.1.3 with the lower bb everything was working fine but now after the upgrade and the jb I no longer get the video. The audio appears to be ok though. I am using composite video cable for my video.

Does this have anything to do with the upgrade? Could the dev team include this in their fix? Please?

Thanks a zillion in advance.

ok i'll try Push Doctor and see what happens.

Thanx guys for the added suggestion.

no my 3g isn't enabled. I only enable it when the need arises when i have to use internet thru my provider otherwise 3g is normally switched off.

btw just for your added info, i recently had my 3g battery checked by a technician and he said that the batt is in perfect condition and still very good. So this means that the power drop is NOT caused by a bad battery. It is something else which really needs to be investigated more.

Just added info.
