hi candance,

best can. jailbroke 3g not long ago on 4.2.1.

first of all, you'll want download piece of software capable of putting in dfu mode. believe redsn0w (or other jailbreak software) can this. can update ios 4.2.1.
second, there's specific version of redsn0w worked me when jailbreak software tried didn't work. don't recall was, might able pull googling "4.2.1 jailbreak." maybe forum member nice enough take guess version i'm talking about.
