The iPhone Dev-Team has released Redsn0w 0.9.6rc7 to help you boot your tethered jailbroken iPhone, iPad or iPod touch quickly, bypassing some of the screen that you will normally see when using Redsn0w for iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak.
On Windows:
Step 1: Download Redsn0w 0.9.6rc7 for Windows and the required iOS 4.2.1 firmware file. Place them in one single folder on the Desktop.
Step 2: Start Command Prompt on Windows with Administrative privileges.
Step 3: Enter the following command (modify the name of the folder, and IPSW file as necessary):
%homepath%\Desktop\folder\redsn0w_win_0.9.6rc7\redsn0w.exe -j -i %homepath%\Desktop\folder\iPhone3,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw
For the older devices like the iPod touch 2G and iPhone 3GS (old bootrom):
%homepath%\Desktop\folder\redsn0w_win_0.9.6rc7\redsn0w.exe -j -o -i %homepath%\Desktop\folder\iPhone2,1_4.2.1_8C148a_Restore.ipsw
Step 4: Redsn0w will now start, follow the onscreen instructions for entering DFU mode to boot your device in a tethered jailbroken state.
You can now also create a desktop shortcut with the above command line parameters in the Target field to boot your iOS device in a tethered jailbroken state with just one-click.
