Redsn0w is an easy to use jailbreak for iPhone. See our RedSn0w guide and tutorial for instructions on how to use RedSn0w to jailbreak your iPhone.
Last week we brought you news about Antid0te, a forthcoming solution for iPhone's that brings the security of ASLR to iOS. Since then we've received a few updated details that clarify some of the specifics surrounding Antid0te, along with an updated release date.
With these new revelations, is Antid0te still the medicine that your iPhone needs? Check inside for the latest information...
As we reported earlier this week, some of you who have recently updated your baseband to 06.15.00 to jailbreak and unlock have been facing battery drains issues. The problem doesn’t actually come from UltraSn0w or RedSn0w, but from the hacktivation process, for those of you who have hacktivated instead of activating the phone with an official carrier.
The issue comes from iOS 4.1 and 4.2.1 which constantly look for valid push certificates, either via wifi or your data plan (Edge or 3G). This runs down you battery and may even cause your iPhone to overheat. If you didn't hacktivate your iPhone but simply activated it with an official carrier (ie AT&T in the US), you shouldn't have any problem.
If on the other end you did hacktivate your iPhone, you might be experiencing the battery drain issue. Fortunately, there is now a fix for it...
The Dev Team has just released an update to their RedSn0w jailbreak, which is now at its version 0.9.6b6. This update was released following the battery drain issue experienced by some iPhone users who had unlocked using UltraSn0w.
This battery drain problem was encountered by those of you who updated the iPhone baseband to 06.15.00 in order to unlock. A fix has now been worked out. You can find this fix here...
We've seen yesterday that we the release of the updated UtraSn0w unlock, there are a few to be met to unlock iPhone 4.2.1. This unlock will work for the iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS with baseband 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01, or 05.13.04. It will also work with iPhone 4 with baseband 01.59.00.
But what happens if you're not on one of those basebands? Depending on your phone model and configuration, you might have to update the baseband to 06.15.00, which is fully unlockable, then unlock using UltraSn0w.
In this tutorial, I will show you how to use RedSn0w to update your baseband to 06.15.00 so you can unlock your iPhone 3G/3GS 4.1.2...
RedSn0w was recently updated to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1. While this is excellent news, it doesn't come without its drawbacks as only the iPhone 3G, older iPhone 3GS, and non-MC iPod touch 2G get the untethered jailbreak.
Other devices get a tethered jailbreak, which means that every time you reboot your iPhone, you will have to plug your iPhone in your computer, and launch RedSn0w to start your iPhone. Hopefully the Dev Team will come up with a way to bypass this soon.
If you are an unlocker, you should not update to 4.2.1 yet. You will lose your chances of unlocking. Wait for PwnageTool, which should be updated relatively soon.
This step by step guide will show you how to jailbreak your iPhone iOS 4.2.1 with RedSn0w. This tutorial was made using an iPhone 3GS but the steps are the same, no matter what device you are using...
The Dev Team just updated RedSn0w to version 0.9.6b4, which will jailbreak iOS 4.2.1. As we explained yesterday, thanks to a combination of pwnage2 exploit, the arm7_go exploit, 24kpwn, and LimeRa1n, you will get an untethered jailbreak for iPhone 3G, older iPhone 3GS, and non-MC iPod touch 2G.
Unfortunately, other devices will get a tethered jailbreak, which means you will have to plug your iPhone in and launch RedSn0w every time you reboot...
PwnageTool is not the only jailbreak to get an update today. The Dev Team also updated RedSn0w to version 0.9.6b3 to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 GM which was released earlier this week.
It's important to note that this version of RedSn0w is mostly for developers. If you aren't much of a technical person, I'd suggest staying away from it. If you plan to unlock using UltraSn0w, you must absolutely stay away from it...
Apple released iOS 4.2.1 GM to developers a couple days ago, and this new build can already be jailbroken using RedSn0w, as confirmed by Redmond Pie.
Even though the jailbreak process of iOS 4.2.1 GM is successful, it won't take you too far as Cydia doesn't work properly with iOS 4.2.1 and will crash at launch. If you know your way around the iPhone files, you can however SSH into your iPhone to manually install jailbreak applications.
Installing and jailbreaking iOS 4.2.1 GM is fairly easy, but it's worth noting you should stay away from it if you rely on an unlock for your iPhone. iOS 4.2.1 GM will update your baseband, and most likely make it impossible for you to unlock for a while.
This being said, here is how to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 GM with RedSn0w...
Apple released iOS 4.2 GM a few hours ago, and the word on the street is that you can already jailbreak it using the latest RedSn0w update. Like MuscleNerd suggested, unless you're a jailbreak app developer or unless you know exactly what you're doing, it might be a good idea to stay away from it.
Remember that updating your iPhone to iOS 4.2 GM might prevent you from unlocking your iPhone forever (most likely not, but you never know)...
The Dev Team just released RedSn0w 0.9.6b2, a new version of their famous jailbreak tool for Mac and Windows. What's new in RedSn0w 0.9.6b2? The most interesting news is that RedSn0w will now jailbreak all devices on iOS 4.1: iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad, iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 4G, and Apple TV.
Also new is the ability to have custom bootlogos on the iPhone 3G/3GS and iPod Touch 2G. Perhaps the most interesting new feature is the option that implements the DFU button in PwnageTool...
Up until now, RedSn0w 0.9.6 beta 1 only worked on Mac, but the Dev Team just updated the infamous RedSn0w jailbreak which is now compatible with Windows. This step by step guide and tutorial will show you how to jailbreak your iPhone 3G 4.1 using RedSn0w for Windows.
It's important to note that if you've already updated to iOS 4.1 you will not be able to unlock your iPhone. If you do need to unlock and if you're not on iOS 4.1 yet, I suggest you wait for the release of PwnageTool, which will allow you to update to 4.1 while preserving the baseband, thus enabling you to use UltraSn0w to unlock.
This tutorial is for the iPhone 3G only. If you have an iPhone 3GS 4.1 that you want to jailbreak, you're going to have to wait from Comex's next jailbreak. If you have an iPhone 4 on 4.1, you will have to wait until Sunday for the release of GreenPois0n.
The Mac version of this tutorial can be found here. This being said, here is how to jailbreak your iPhone 3G 4.1 with RedSn0w...
This morning we reported that the Dev Team had released RedSn0w 0.9.6 beta 1 and that this tool could be used to jailbreak an iPhone 3G running iOS 4.1.
MuscleNerd confirmed earlier today that this version of RedSn0w can also be used to jailbreak iOS 4.2 beta on an iPhone 3G, but this doesn't come without risks as they are many bugs...
