Redsn0w 0.9.7b5 to Fix Bluetooth Issues !

Dev Team has just updated Redsn0w 0.9.7 untethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak to fix bluetooth issues and any sand-box related issues will be fixed.

The Windows version is not released yet due to it's slow compared to the Mac OS X version. So the iPhone Dev Team working on speeding it and release it as soon as possible.

The update follows as:

The fifth beta is now available (testers ONLY please!). Bluetooth is now working (and any sandbox-related issues should be resolved too). Please do not pirate the 4.2b3 IPSW! Only those enrolled in the iPhone Developer program have legitimate access to that IPSW using these links (http://pastie.org/1403214) (the links won’t work unless you’re a legit developer currently logged in).

There is actually a Windows version of beta5, but it’s excruciatingly slow compared to the Mac version because it’s forced to use files on your hard drive instead of RAM while it’s processing the very large IPSW images. It really is very very painfully slow, so we probably won’t be releasing it for testing purposes unless it can be sped up somehow.

To use Redsn0w 0.9.7b5, use our guide posted here while removing STEP 4 since it doesn't required usbmuxd anymore.

Redsn0w 0.9.6rc7 Released ! Brings One-click Tethered iOS 4.2.1 Boot !

The iPhone Dev Team has just released a new version of Redsn0w with one-click tethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbeak boot support. Redsn0w 0.9.6rc7 includes “one-click tethered boot” support for those of you running the tethered 4.2.1 jailbreak.

With Redsn0w 0.9.6rc7, you can use command-line arguments so you can now bypass the screens you’d normally see as you use redsn0w to “Just boot tethered for now” when your device is rebooted.

Here's the update from the official blog:

We've updated redsn0w to include "one-click" support for those of you
running the tethered 4.2.1 jailbreak. Using command-line arguments,
you can now bypass the screens you'd normally see as you use redsn0w
to "Just boot tethered for now".

The available command line arguments are:

-j to ask redsn0w to "Just boot now"
-i to specify your reference IPSW
-o for old-bootrom iPod touch 2G and iPhone 3GS
-b to specify your own boot logo png

For example, to get redsn0w for Mac to do a tethered boot of an iPod touch 4G jailbroken at 4.2.1:

open ~/Desktop/redsn0w.app --args -j -i ~/Desktop/iPod4,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw

This assumes both redsn0w and the IPSW are on your OS X desktop, so
modify as necessary! Included in the zip is an example script file
that you can double click on to launch redsn0w like this (the Windows
example assumes everything is in C:\). (Mac users: please remember to
change the permissions of your custom *.command files to allow
execution.)

This should help ease the pain of the tethered jailbreak until @comex
comes up with a 4.2.1 untether (or for those of you with legit access
to the 4.2b3 IPSW, until the "Jailbreak Monte" untether is out of
beta)!

- PLEASE UPGRADE TO iTunes 10.1 FOR BEST RESULTS
- WINDOWS 7 USERS SHOULD RUN redsn0w IN "XP COMPATIBILITY" MODE
- Make sure you're using a USB 2.0 port

Please note that the iPhone Dev Team is working on untethering iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak so you don't need to connect your iOS device everytime it reboots. They are have released Redsn0w 0.9.7 beta for Mac OS X, you can try the latest release of this beta but you need iOS 4.2 beta 3 hashes and IPSW file.

Redsn0w 0.9.7b4 to Untethered Jailbreak Without the Need of ‘usbmuxd’ Process

iPhone Dev-Team has just released Redsn0w 0.9.7 beta 4 with a major change as the reds0w no longer requires you to install and run a separate program for the usbmux which caused a lot of confusion with the jailbreak process.

Starting with this version, redsn0w no longer requires you to install and run a separate program for the usbmux (this was a non-trivial procedure for many). It’s okay to keep that program running if you normally use it for ssh anyway. We also think we’ve fixed a race condition in the GUI that was causing redsn0w to crash during the “Preparing JB Monte Files” step. Nothing at all has changed on the iPhone side (where the main issues are still just Bluetooth and Skype).

As the Dev-Team mentioned in the above quotation, so far, this version is still causing problems with Bluetooth and Skype. Now you have to follow our full step by step guide (Skip step 4) to untethered jailbreak your iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G and iPad.

Redsn0w 0.9.7b4 Windows Within Few Days

Just a quick heads up! Redsn0w 0.9.7 beta was out yesterday to bring untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 but some of our readers has reported that usbmuxd process  is not working with them. Also Windows users were left behind and couldn't convert their devices to untethered jailbreak.
Though, the iPhone Dev Team is working hard on releasing new betas so in a new tweet today confirming that Redsn0w 0.9.7b4 will incorporates usbmuxd so you shouldn't worry anymore. In the same tweet, the iPhone Dev Team has confirmed that after finishing this task, the next version (Redsn0w 0.9.7b5) will include the Windows version.

tman15555: @redsn0w_testers when will the version that incorporates usbmuxd be realeased? I keep on getting stuck on installing bundles

redsn0w_testers: @tman15555 that version is next...and if that's successful, we should be able to expand to Windows testers after that

This indicates that we may very soon see the public release of Redsn0w 0.9.7. More updates as they come ! Stay tuned !

Redsn0w 0.9.7b3 ! Fixing All App Problems

The iPhone Dev Team has just released the third beta version of Redsn0w 0.9.7 to convert tethered jailbreak of iOS 4.2.1 to untethered on iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod touch 4G and iPad. The third beta is still for testing only so stay away if you rely on your device or care for an unlock.

Redsn0w 0.9.7b2:  fixes all the native app crashes (including Task switcher). This is the only change from the first beta that was released earlier today.

Redsn0w 0.9.7b3: This version extends the fix made in beta2 over to the non-GUI programs too (like the daemons that handle media content). So now embedded videos in iTunes work.  Just follow the guide posted here to achieve the untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1.

After Jailbreaking iOS 4.2.1 with Redsn0w 0.9.7b1 Bluetooth, Music and iTunes Stuck [Warning] [Video]

Early today Dev-Team has announced the untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 on iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G and iPad, and then we followed it by the step by step guide to use the redsn0w 0.9.7b1 jailbreak, but it looks like that we are in dire need of beta 2 for this version as some of our reader who jailbroke their devices using beta 1, have noted some errors with Bluetooth, playing music and iTunes.

This video will show you these errors clearly, you will note that the iPod touch will restart after trying to run iTunes, also the music doesn't work and a frozen Blutooth, only apps and Cydia are working well.

For now we expect that Dev-Team are recording bugs as much as possible to release a new beta version free of bugs. Check your Bluetooth, mucic and iTunes and let me know how the new jailbreak going with you.

Jailbreak 4.2.1 Untethered with Redsn0w 0.9.7b3 iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod touch 4G, 3G [How to Guide]

These are instructions on how to untether your jailbreak of iOS 4.2.1 using the iPhone Dev-Team's 'backup plan' method on Mac OS X.
Currently this very first beta1 is limited to iPhone4, iPad, and iPod touch 4G. Bluetooth functionality is disabled for the time being until some issues are resolved.

Requirements:
You will need to have access to the iOS 4.2b3 ipsw and your iOS 4.2b3 SHSH blobs saved. You also already need to be jailbroken on iOS 4.2.1. MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS AS IT IS A BETA!

Step One
Create a folder called Pwnage on your desktop and in it place:
- Xcode (also found on your Mac OS X Install DVD)
- MacPorts
- Usbmuxd
- RedSn0w 0.9.7b
- iOS 4.2.1 (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch)
- iOS 4.2b3 *Only iPhone developers have legit access to this firmware


Step Two
Double click the Xcode dmg to mount it then double click the pkg to install the application.




Step Three
Double click the MacPorts dmg to mount it then double click the pkg to install the application.



Step Four
Open Terminal from Applications:Utilities then input the following. If asked for a password then enter your administrator password.


sudo ports install libusb


Once libusb has installed then input the following command: sudo ports install cmake


Once cmake has finished installing input the following command: sudo ports install pkgconfig


Step Five
Double click the downloaded usbmuxd archive to extract it.


Return to the Terminal window and input the following commands to install usbmuxd: cd ~/Desktop/Pwnage/usbmuxd-1.0.6


mkdir build


cd build


cmake ..


make


sudo make install




Step Six
Disconnect and then reconnect your jailbroken iPhone to the computer via USB. Make sure OpenSSH is installed through Cydia then input the following into the Terminal window:

cd ~/Desktop/Pwnage/usbmuxd-1.0.6/python-client/


chmod +x tcprelay.py


./tcprelay.py -t 22:2222


*Make sure to leave this running as you continue the tutorial...

Step Seven
Double click the RedSn0w archive to extract it. Then launch RedSn0w from the extracted folder.


Click the Browse button


Select the iOS 4.2.1 ipsw from the Pwnage folder on your Desktop and click Open.


Click the Next button to continue.


RedSn0w will now prepare the jailbreak data.


You will now be presented with a list of checkboxes.


Select Jailbreak Monte (untether) from the list of checkboxes. You will be asked to select the iOS 4.2b3 ipsw from the Pwnage folder on your desktop then click Open. Click Next to continue.




Please plug your iPhone into the computer and make sure its OFF then click the Next button


RedSn0w will now guide you through the steps to get into DFU mode. You can find more help with DFU mode here


Hold down both the Home button and the Power button for 10 seconds.


Release the Power button and continue holding the Home button until RedSn0w detects the device.


RedSn0w will prepare Jailbreak Monte files, exploit with Limera1n, Upload RAM Disk and Kernel, and Send Jailbreak Monte files.


Notice that during this time usbmuxd will facilitate the connection to your device.


RedSn0w will inform you when it has completed successfully.

Try the Untethered iOS 4.2.1 Jailbreak? Here's How !

I know that most of your are waiting eagerly for the untethered jailbreak solution on iOS 4.2.1 for new-generation iOS devices. As most of you know, the iPhone Dev Team already has the backup plan to achieve iOS 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak for Christmas Eve.

Just a few minutes ago, the iPhone Dev Team has confirmed the release of untethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak for the Christmas Eve and asking for Mac OS X owners to help them with testing the the backup plan.

Over the Christmas weekend we’ll be releasing a version of redsn0w that implements the “backup plan” to the 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak. We’re seeking your help to test this redsn0w and find any bugs before we do a general release!

(If you have an iPhone 3G, or an old-bootrom ipt2g or iPhone 3GS, you already have an untethered jailbreak! Just use the latest public redsn0w.)

To keep things manageable, this will be a Mac-only test program. We also request that any volunteers *NOT* need the ultrasn0w unlock (in case things go very wrong).

Right now, the “backup plan” requires that you have the 4.2b3 IPSW on your Mac, and that Cydia has your 4.2b3 SHSH hashes. Please don’t pirate that 4.2b3 IPSW! (We’re also working on a way that this technique might apply to all those with 4.1 IPSWs, but that’s not the first goal right now.)

To survive in this, you must be a Mac owner, got iOS 4.2 beta 3 SHSH blobs on your Mac or that Cydia has your 4.2b3 SHSH hashes that was automatically saved (in the status bar), and have a new-generation iOS device (i.e. iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad, iPod 4G, 3G).

If you fit all the above qualifications, so you can follow @redsn0w_tester on Twitter and give the Dev-Team a comment in this post to get the backup plan right now ! Let us know how does it go with you. Also stay tuned for a Christmas launch for public.

The bad new is that right now, the redsn0w 0.9.6b4 is a tethered or semi-tethered jailbreak for some devices (i.e. you will lose your jailbreak every time you reboot your iDevice, so you have to follow the following steps every reboot to have a jailbroken device )

Untethered Devices:

• iPhone 3GS (old bootrom)
• iPhone 3
• iPod touch 2G (Non-MC Model)

Tethered Devices:

• iPhone 3GS (new bootrom)
• iPhone 4
• iPad
• iPod touch 2G (MC Model)
• iPod touch 3G
• iPod touch 4G

NOTE: Those of you who rely on a carrier unlock stay away from Redsn0w and iOS 4.2.1.

GUIDE:

STEP 1: Download redsn0w 0.9.6b4,  iOS 4.2.1 for your device(download links at the end).

STEP 2: Update to 4.2.1 firmware using the IPSW file you just downloaded via iTunes 10.1.

STEP 3: Launch Redsn0w 0.9.6b4,  and browse for iOS 4.2.1 firmware final version 

STEP 4: Select "Install Cydia" and click on "Next"

STEP 5: Now make sure your device is both OFF and PLUGGED IN to the computer before you click “Next”.

STEP 6: At this stage you will need to put your iPhone in DFU mode by holding “Power” button and then while holding the “Power” button, you will now have to hold “Home” button too. Now after few seconds release “Power” button but keep holding “Home” button until installation begins.

STEP 7: You will Get a Jailbroken Device on the latest iOS 4.2.1  as soon as the process ends.

STEP 8: This step is only for these devices iPhone 4, 3GS (New Bootrom), iPod touch 4G,  3G, 2G, iPad. While this is tethered jailbreak and whenever you want to do anything related to jailbreak like SSH your device, or running Cydia, you must first run your device in the so called “jailbroken state” on every reboot by using “Just boot tethered right now” option.
