Q. I jailbroke with RC3 or a lower version. If another version is released how can I install it ?
A. You must restore your device via iTunes (clean install .. “Set Up as New”) and then apply the jailbreak again.
This way you are 100% sure the new version will be installed to your device.
Q. Why do I have to do a clean restore in order to apply a new version ?
A. Because its safer. An unstable old version might not be fully replaced by the new one and you might experience problems.

A. No. At least in 4.1 the jailbreak is UNTETHERED which means you don’t need a PC to boot your device.
In next versions the exploit will be patched and it will be TETHERED, so you will need a PC to boot it.
