Redsn0w, the regularly reliable jailbreaking tool for Iphone, iPad and iPod touch users, has just been updated to version 0.9.9b9b, and brings with it a couple of handy finishing touches.




  • native support for 5.0.1 (no need to point redsn0w at 5.0 IPSW or use command-line args).  Support automatically extends to all of redsn0w’s various functions: “Jailbreak”, “Just boot”, “Fetch blobs”, “Stitch blobs”, “Recovery Fix”
  • iBooks fixed in 5.0 and 5.0.1.  This is a targeted fix that doesn’t remove entire sandbox mechanism.  5.x users already using redsn0w “Just Boot” can just use the new version without redoing entire jailbreak again
  • 3GS old-bootrom owners can now create custom IPSWs without blobs
  • ultrasn0w compatibility update (i.e. same baseband requirements) for 5.0.1 will be available on Cydia Monday
  • support for newer 8GB iPhone4 (which until now had problems with “Fetch blobs”).  Thanks to @JKjeepnJeff for loaning us one of these newer i4 units for testing!
  • allows Windows users (not just OS X users) to use the “Custom” button to create IPSWs without baseband updates.
  • accommodates APTickets in 5.x (until next Apple countermove).  APTickets are crypto-verified before submitting to Cydia, just like the main blobs.  Cydia server support for sending back the APTickets is upcoming.  For now, use stitched IPSWs for 5.x.  Due to APTickets, stitched 5.x IPSWs now require user to start in “Pwned DFU” mode
  • Support added for stitching 4.x blobs to iPad2-GSM IPSWs.  Similar to @notcom’s TinyCFW but doesn’t require lots of RAM or a TSS-assisted restore. Won’t work for iPad2 5.x blobs (or iPhone4S at all) until a bootrom-level exploit is out
  • top line now shows whether (and where) a redsn0w update is available, or if the version being run is the latest.  Uses DNS TXT record to alleviate any concerns about snooping
  • no 5.1 beta support at this time (major apps like Cydia are not yet compatible)
  • @pod2g has been doing a great job porting his 5.x untether…check his blog for updates!
  • Owners of newer 3GS iPhones must not flash the Ipad baseband.  The iPad baseband will not work on 3GS iPhones built later than 2011 week 35.  You have a week 35 or later device if your serial # starts with xx135.
  • This is still a tethered jailbreak for all except old-bootrom 3GS users.

Jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 On iPhone, iPad, iPod touch Using Redsn0w


Apple has just released a snappy sequel to its first iteration of iOS 5, citing bug fixes and general housekeeping as the main reasoning behind the necessary update, entitled iOS 5.0.1









Despite the fact that Apple only seeded iOS 5.0.1 to developers a matter of hours ago, the trusty Redsn0w jailbreak tool allows those testing the updated firmware to jailbreak their devices, albeit tethered.
You can follow our guide on how to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 using Redsn0w



The folks at Redmond Pie has written a guide on how to jailbreak the iPhone on iOs 4.3.2. Head over to this post to view the guide. Enjoy!


The yet to be released Sn0wbreeze 2.2 software jailbreak tool for windows will enable you to play the classic Pac-Man game to keep you busy while the software is cooking the custom IPSW for your beloved iOS device, such as the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iH8sn0w, the famous iPhone hacker / developer behind the Sn0wbreeze jailbreak tool, added a new feature / option on his forthcoming Sn0wbreeze version 2.2 that will allows you to play Pac-Man while waiting for the software to finish its work. 

Aside from the Pac-Man option, iH8sn0w also added a new “
Baseband Preservation Mode” in addition to Simple Mode and Expert Mode. This new mode will allow you to jailbreak your iPhone while preserving its baseband so that you will not lose the ability to unlock your iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 3G from its carrier through utilizing the latest version of the iPhone Dev Team’s Ultrasn0w carrier unlocking tool.

For those who aren’t aware, Sn0wbreeze is an alternative to PwnageTool for Mac and it has a capability to jailbreak iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Aside from that, just like the PwnageTool, it also capable to create a custom ipsw / firmware files without upgrading the baseband version of your iOS device. Snowbreeze is compatible with Windows Operating System only while PwnageTool works on Mac OS X.

Currently, there is no ETA given for Sn0wbreeze 2.2. We will of course keep you updated as soon as we know more about it. So stay tuned!
