Update iTunes to 10.2.1 for best results. Procedure:
Plug your iDevice to your computer
Open iTunes & prepare to put your iDevice to DFU mode
DFU Mode: Press and hold both POWER and HOME buttons for EXACTLY 10 seconds
DFU Mode: Release the POWER button but keep holding the HOME button for another 15 to 20 seconds
You can release the HOME button once your computer beeps like a USB device has been connected OR once iTunes alerts you that it has detected an iDevice in recovery mode, which looks like this:Click on image to view larger.
Close iTunes
Open greenpois0n
Click NOwhen it asked you if you'll be jailbreaking an Apple TV
Click JailbreakNote that you don't have to follow the DFU directions anymore because you did it already in steps 3 to 5 (read again if necessary)
The rest of the process will take place on your iDevice. All you need to do is wait and keep it plugged in your computer. DO NOT INTERRUPT! Watch the video to see the complete process:
Once complete, you will find Cydia on the 2nd page of your iDevice's homescreen.
