RedSn0w Jailbreak Updated; Now Works On Windows

Mozy Remote Backup.  Free.Automatic.Secure.

MuscleNerd of iPhone Dev-Team has just posted about an update of Redsn0w which fixes SMS and data issues that some of you may be having with iPhone OS 4 jailbreak.

The update works for Windows users as well, so all the non Mac users can now join in on the fun:
The redsn0w beta has been updated for 4.0GM on iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G (non-MC version). Multitasking and homescreen wallpaper are turned on by default (Apple doesn't normally allow this on these 2 devices). You can deselect these features if you choose.


A version for Windows is now provided.


Just like our other betas, this one intentionally doesn't “hactivate” the iPhone. Please wait for Apple's public release of 4.0 for that part of it.

MuscleNerd For those 4.0b1 JB devs with SMS or data issues using redsn0w, the update at http://is.gd/buMgi should fix (restore 1st!)

YOU SHOULD STAY CLEAR OF THIS BETA SOFTWARE IF YOU RELY ON A CARRIER UNLOCK. That's because the beta redsn0w works only if your device has already been upgraded to the stock 4.0beta1/beta4/GM IPSW from Apple, which contains a baseband update. If you installed that IPSW, you've already lost the carrier unlock until the next planned release of ultrasn0w and blacksn0w.

WARNING:

  • Redsn0w is a jailbreak utility, it does NOT provide a carrier unlock. iOS 4 GM comes with newer Baseband 05.13. So, unlockers depending on either UltraSn0w or BlackSn0w better avoid this update.
  • If you’re new to the game or do NOT know what you’re doing, better wait for the official jailbreak tool to come out.

Download RedSn0w 0.9.5 Jailbreak -

  • RedSn0w 0.9.5 Beta5 for Windows
  • RedSn0w 0.9.5 Beta5 for MAC
Instructions to jailbreak iOS 4 Gold Master (GM) Beta using Redsn0w 0.9.5b5 are similar to the last release, and can be found here.
