Johnny Franks (@0xjohnny) has just released iOS 4.2.1 GM PwnageTool bundle for iPod Touch 4G. This PwnageTool bundle can be used to patch PwnageTool v4.1.2 which then can be used to create custom IPSW of iOS 4.2.1 GM. The custom IPSW created with patched PwnageTool can be restored through iTunes to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 GM on iPod Touch 4G.

Update via @0xjohnny:

For those who don't know, Apple released iOS 4.2.1 GM seed last week to fix issues related to Exchange and the audio devices. There are rumors that Apple might release iOS 4.2.1 final version in the upcoming week, skipping iOS 4.2 final version altogether.
