@iH8Sn0w – the man behind Sn0wbreeze [aka PwnageTool for Windows], AUTOSHSH, F0recast, iREB, iDetector and few other useful jailbreak tools/utilities has started working on a new Utility, which will save your iOS device’s SHSH Blob.
That means, If your device is running iOS 4.1. With this utility, you can save SHSH blob for iOS 4.1. Though Apple Stopped Signing For iOS 4.1. This is not possible with TinyUmbrella or AutoSHSH currently.
As you know, @comex is working on untethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak, which requires SHSH blob for iOS 4.1. So, in case if you haven’t saved you SHSH blob, you don’t have to worry about it. Because, once the utility is ready for primetime, you could save your SHSH blob.

iPhone Unlockers Beware, Apple Has Put Baseband Upgrade Requirement for iOS 4.2.1 Update
0 comments at 8:45 AM
Thanks to Semaphore (creator of tiny umbrella) for this information:
It was possible to update from 4.0/4.0.1 to 4.1 while using TinyUmbrella to restore your iPhone 4 to the latest iOS without upgrading your baseband – therefore you could still use ultrasn0w to unlock. But that fun-ride is over… at least for now.
It seems that Apple has decided to put a baseband requirement on iOS. So at this point, if you are using Saurik’s server or tiny umbrella and trying to restore 4.2.1 on an iPhone 4, you will end up in recovery mode and tiny umbrella will not be able to pull you out of recovery.
In this case, you will have to restore 4.1 again or you will have to restore 4.2.1 stock and be tether jailbroken. (Of course, I recommend 4.1 and not bothering with 4.2.1 at all). If you are an unlocker, this is a no brainer. Do not update to 4.2.1 even to test it at this point.
