iPhone Dev Team has just released redsn0w 0.9.6 b4 with an official support for iOS 4.2.1 final release. It has fixed some issues with Mobile substrate and comex’s patches. They had promised an update yesterday as stated
So when does all this 4.2.1 jailbreak action happen? Well if you’re a JB developer or tinkerer, you’ve already probably used the redsn0w mentioned in our last post to jailbreak 4.2.1 and at least get SSH working. But beyond that, there are still some last minute issues with MobileSubstrate and comex’s kernel patches that are being fixed. We’ll tweet and post a blog update when it’s all available (we hate to give ETAs, but barring any unforeseen problems, probably later today).
For details, you can check earlier update about iOS 4.2.1 Jailbreak and unlock.

Try holding the sleep button for at least 20 seconds, that helped me, and I didn't know why it went black.. if that doesn't help, try plugging it in to your outlet charger and holding the sleep button. -PANCAKEPVT
