Before you go for the guide you must know:

- This jailbreak is for all iOS devices. (excluding Apple TV).

- This will not unlock your iPhone. The unlock for iOS 4.3 is not available yet. So if you don’t rely on factory unlock, do not upgrade to iOS 4.3.

- Save your SHSH blobs before going for this jailbreak so that you are able to downgrade back to iOS 4.2.1 if something goes wrong. Read this guide.

- I will not be responsible for any loss of your device while attempting this jailbreak, do it on your own risk.

Here is how you can save the SHSH blobs before upgrading to iOS 4.3 and then revert back the upgrade.
