iPhone Dev Team have updated the redsn0w 5.0.1 jailbreak tool to fix some bugs. The new version Redsn0w 0.9.10b3 for Windows and Mac OS X is now available for download. According to Dev Team:

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).

Download Redsn0w 0.9.10b3

Windows: redsn0w_win_0.9.10b3.zip

Mac OS X: redsn0w_mac_0.9.10b3.zip

After downloading, you can follow our Redsn0w 0.9.10 guide to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1. Mac users can also use PwnageTool 5.0.1 for the same.

Now Create Custom IPSW with Redsn0w and Preserve Baseband

On October 12, 2011, in Hacks, by TechAdmin
0

New “Custom IPSW” Redsn0w feature is coming up which will allow you to create a custom IPSW and preserve baseband with Redsn0w. Earlier, this could be achieved by using PwnageTool on Mac or Sn0wbreeze on Windows. This feature will be really helpful for those who want to upgrade iOS but not the baseband so that they could unlock iPhone using ultrasn0w. As per MuscleNerd:

We’re adding most popular PwnageTool usage into redsn0w (for Windows+Mac). First up: removing BB update

Here is the screenshot of the feature that the iPhone Dev Team is building in redsn0w:

Create Custom IPSW with Redsn0w

Since redsn0w gets frequent updates soon as newer iOS versions are rolled out, this feature will be greatly useful. PwnageTool doesn’t get updated quite often, as MuscleNerd notes:

the thinking is: update PwnageTool when there are untethered jailbreaks, but otherwise let redsn0w handle each new FW

Apple is expected to release final version of iOS 5 later today, So, we can expect this feature in redsn0w update that will shortly follow.

Download Redsn0w 0.9.9b1 for Windows & Mac and What’s New

On September 19, 2011, in Hacks, by TechAdmin
0

Redsn0w 0.9.8b1 for Windows and Mac is now available for download. This update tends to simplify the redsn0w jailbreak process by eliminating the need to browse for the IPSW file. Redsn0w 0.9.9 beta 1 also brings some new features to the tool.

New redsn0w will also make tethered boot more easier. Now when you start Redsn0w, you will see 2 buttons; a “Jailbreak” button and a button titled “Extras”. These are explained in detail below:

Redsn0w 0.9.9b1

What’s New in Redsn0w 0.9.9

Jailbreak Button: To jailbreak your device running on any version of iOS. Beta versions are not supported in this mode.

Extras Button: Includes following options:

  1. Just Boot: For tethered boot.
  2. Pwned DFU: For putting device in DFU mode.
  3. Recovery Fix: For the devices stuck in recovery loop.
  4. SHSH Blobs: Fetch, Verify, Submit, Query or Stitch SHSH blobs
  5. Select IPSW: Manually select the IPSW to jailbreak. Useful to jailbreak beta versions
  6. Preferences: User Preferences like custom boot logos, ECIDs or boot rags.

Redsn0w 0.9.9 Extras

As per Dev Team, here is the list of new features:

  • uses DFU mode to try to automatically determine which device and FW you have
  • fetches pieces of public IPSWs from Apple (once).  Non-public IPSWs must be provided manually (once).  It then caches those pieces for future use.
  • “Just boot” is a tethered boot.  Uses whatever “Preferences” you’ve set for boot logo and kernel boot-args
  • “Pwned DFU” puts your device in a pwned DFU state for some of the iTunes stuff detailed below
  • “Recovery fix” gets past 1015 types of errors (when baseband portion of restore fails).  Should work on iOS5 beta too
  • “Select IPSW” is for picking non-public IPSWs, or overriding auto-detection
  • “SHSH blobs” has a bunch of options…
  • “Fetch” – fetch current PARTIAL blobs on device.  Should complete in under 10 or 15 seconds.  Puts the set of PARTIAL of blobs on your computer as a plist.  Checks if Cydia already has a full set for this device and build.  If not, it submits this PARTIAL set and returns Cydia’s acknowledgement or rejection
  • “Verify”  – cryptographically verifies existing blob files from either redsn0w, TinyUmbrella, or Cydia server.  You can select a whole bunch of blobs to verify at once if you want (like the TinyUmbrella directory)
  • “Submit”  – both verifies and submits one or more blob files to Cydia.  This lets you copy your entire TinyUmbrella cache of blobs up to the Cydia server
  • “Query” – queries the Cydia server for all available FULL or PARTIAL blobs for a given set of ECIDs
  • “Stitch” – stitches either FULL or PARTIAL blobs to a STOCK or CUSTOM IPSW
  1. Stitching is NOT yet supported on iPhones!  Need to work out the baseband part of the restore process.
  2. FULL blobs stitched to a STOCK IPSW gives you a completely self-contained signed IPSW that iTunes will accept without any tricks (no need to go into pwned DFU mode, no need to start TinyUmbrella TSS server, no need to redirect to Cydia server for blobs)
  3. PARTIAL blobs stitched to any IPSW requires you to go into pwned DFU mode before running iTunes.  No need to start TU or use Cydia though.
  4. Stitching either FULL or PARTIAL blobs to a CUSTOM IPSW also requires a pwned DFU start before iTunes restores.  No need to start TU or use Cydia though.
  5. Will eventually support fetching the blobs directly from Cydia instead of a file on your computer

As you can sense from the features, this update doesn’t just make Redsn0w look cool but also makes it more user friendly.
