RedSn0w Updated To 0.9.8b3 To Jailbreak iOS 4.3.4
0July 17, 2011
MuscleNerd (@MuscleNerd) has recently tweeted that the iPhone Dev-Team has released the third beta of RedSn0w for the recently released iOS 4.3.4 / iOS 4.2.9.
redsn0w b3 http://is.gd/6eek4Y is a *tethered* 4.3.4 JB for kernel hackers only (see #3). Most should stay back at 4.3.3!
This version of RedSn0w is for kernal hackers only. There is NO reason for an average user to update to iOS 4.3.4 and use this jailbreak as of right now.

0July 16, 2011
Apple pushed out iOS 4.3.4 for the iPhone, iPad, and the iPod Touch. If you or someone you know accidentally upgraded to iOS 4.3.4 (on a GSM iDevice) or iOS 4.2.9 (on a CDMA iDevice) and your iDevice is not an iPad 2 then you are safe! You can use PwnageTool to jailbreak any device except for the iPad 2 running on the new version of iOS, while also preserving your baseband for an ultrasn0w unlock later on (for those of you with iPhones). The tool / jailbreak method has been confirmed to work. One of the downsides is that the jailbreak is tethered, which means that if your device loses power More >
Apple Releases iOS 4.3.4 – Patches PDF Vulnerability

Apple recently seeded iOS 4.3.4 for its iOS devices including the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, iPad, and 3rd and 4th generation iPod Touch devices. Apple also release a comparable update for Verizon Wireless’ CDMA iPhone 4, iOS 4.2.9.
These new builds include a security update that addresses the vulnerability with PDF files. This directly patches the extremely popular JailbreakMe.com jailbreak solution, which was by far the easiest way to jailbreak iOS devices. JailbreakMe will no longer function on devices running the newer firmwares, which are available now on iTunes.
