Packages included:
Cydia (of course)
SBSettings
Backgrounder
Springflash

Requirements:
• iPhone 4
Note: After Apple releases iOS4.3 and stops signing iOS 4.2.1 a SHSH signature for iOS4.2.1 will be required (you will need tinyumbrella TSS server running with that SHSH for your device).

Suggestions:
• Multifl0w
• Cyntact

- Put your iPhone 4 in DFU mode (press and hold home and sleep button simultaneously for 10 seconds then release ONLY the sleep button and keep holding the home button for another 10 seconds. You should have your iPhone screen all black and your iPhone is probably at DFU mode right now.

How can I make sure iTunes is using SHSHs Saurik's / cydia server to sign the firmware with "on file" SHSHs ?

All we need, then, is to make iTunes use it. Luckily, most operating systems also have the ability to locally define bypasses on specific hostnames through a file called hosts. Using this, we can redirect requests to Apple's signature server to Cydia.

So, open the file C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts (Windows) or /etc/hosts (Mac OS X) and add the following entry to the bottom of the file.

74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com

How do I do that? Open Terminal (applicationsutilitiesterminal), type "sudo pico /etc/hosts", enter your admin password, move your cursor to the end of the file and past the entry -->> 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com, type ctrl-x to exit and save it (Y).

Now, when iTunes thinks it is talking to Apple, it is talking to Cydia instead. Doing this will allow iTunes to access signatures already stored by Cydia's "on file" feature.
This server will also act as a cache for any SHSH blobs it hasn't seen, acting as an intermediary to Apple's server. This effectively registers your device with the "on file" mechanism, which means you can now enjoy the protections of being able to downgrade your firmware in the future even if you aren't jailbroken.
This point should be stressed: even if you don't jailbreak, and even if you never intend to jailbreak, you should consider using the new "on file" service.
Let's say that Apple releases an OS upgrade in the future, you take it, and they break something important. Maybe they break your e-mail ***, or your todo list. Your business is now crippled.
If only you could downgrade, right? Alas, Apple won't let you anymore. That's where the new signature cache server comes in: by doing your restores through this server you secure your ability to not accept upgrades from Apple if the need is dire.

UPDATE: you can always use your own SHSH if you have it saved on your computer but you will need to start tinyumbrella TSS Server before opening itunes.
