What now? Grr... F-F-F!
The F word is apt because serial is now the only choice you have for jb, at least until BD or someone else finds another exploit.

For others thinking of using this jailbreak: when you open the browser, it will ask to turn off airplane mode, ie turn on Wi-Fi, but do not hit ok, hit cancel instead. The browser will happily open a local file eg file:///mnt/us/whatever without a Wi-Fi connection.
