    Redsn0w

    This is a tutorial on how to perform an untethered jailbreak of your iPhone 4 on 5.0.1 using RedSn0w for Windows. The same steps for Mac version.

    This procedure will cause you to upgrade your baseband. For those how rely on an Unlock must stay away from this and update using a custom ipsw.

    Update #2: Redsn0w 0.9.10b4 released to address the iBooks issue for jailbroken devices.

    Update #1: The b3 version of redsn0w fixes a problem where re-running redsn0w over an existing jailbreak would cause MobileSubstrate-based apps to stop running until MS was installed again. Now you can re-run the redsn0w jailbreak step without worrying about that (but still remember to de-select the “Install Cydia” option if it’s already installed).

    iOS 5.0.1 Untethered Jailbreak Using Redsn0w Step-by-step Guide:

    Step 1: Download the latest version of RedSn0w and 5.0.1 firmware from links below. No need to download the 5.0.1 firmware if you are already on iOS 5.0.1

    Extract the Redsn0w zip file by double clicking it.

    Step 2: Connect your iPhone to the computer and launch iTunes.

    • Select your iPhone from the list of devices on the left.
    • Hold down Shift and click the Restore button. Navigate to the 5.0.1 firmware ipsw.
    • Click the Choose button to continue.
    • iTunes will now update your iPhone to the new firmware.

    Step 3: Launch the redsn0w application (As administrator)

    Step 4: Once RedSn0w opens click the Jailbreak button

    Step 5: Plug your iPhone into the computer and make sure its OFF then click the Next button.

    Step 6: RedSn0w will now guide you through the steps to get into DFU mode.

    Step 7: Your iPhone will now reboot

    Step 8: RedSn0w will now prepare the jailbreak data.

    Step 9: Select Cydia from the list of options and click Next.

    Step 10: Your iPhone will now be rebooted again and RedSn0w will begin uploading the new RAM Disk and Kernel.

    Step 11: Your mobile is now jailbroken with Cydia on the SpringBoard.

  • iPad 2 iOS 4.3.1 Untethered Jailbreak Imminent

    We have some huge expectation from Chronic Dev when it comes to the iPad 2 jailbreak. It seems they are too active to do it for us. iPad 2 users are too curious to get 4.3.1 untethered jailbreak.

    Chronic Dev Team key member Joshua Hill aka @p0sixninja seems optimistic enough about untethered iPad 2 jailbreak. That is what he has tweeted:

    A lot of progress has been made in the past few days, but we’re still working on dumping iPad2 BootROM.
    No ETA. Timelines are unpredictable when your working with new and unknown hardware

    Its a great news that they have made a lot of progress. But let us mention that we are not creating any hype. Its just to tell that iPad 2 jailbreak is imminent and sooner or later you will get it. So be patient.

    Untethered iOS 4.3.1 exploit for iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad1 and iPod Touch3G and 4G is developed by Stefan Esser (@i0n1c) who is a security expert. If you unaware, the hacker jumped to the iPhone jailbreaking scene for the very first time. He found a vulnerability, developed an exploit and handed it to the iPhone Dev Team. After that, the Dev Team tested it and used it behind their tools and released Redsn0w 0.9.6, PwnageTool 4.3. Sn0wbreeze 2.5 also uses the same exploit released by iH8sn0w for Windows users. So its clear that Stefan Esser’s exploit do not work on iPad 2 thats why we are waiting for Greenpois0n RC7 by Chronic Dev Team.
