Redsn0w 0.9.9b9d Released

Submitted by Dan; December 20, 2011


Not long after iPhone Dev Team releasing Redsn0w 0.9.9 Beta 9, they released a revision "D" of redsn0w. - Now, Redsn0w 0.9.9 Beta 9 Revision D has been released. Redsn0w now supports iOS 5.0.1 natively, you no longer have to 'fool' redsn0w by pointing it to an iOS 5.0 ipsw. iBooks for iOS 5.0 and 5.0.1. Additionally, ultrasn0w compatibility has also been updated for 5.0.1 (update will be available on Cydia). This revision enables the Custom button for Windows users, and make the 3GS week 35 warning a more explicit part of the process.This revision also fixes launch errors due to the self-update check for Windows users. On last night's Redsn0w releases, users noticed a problem with the untethered jailbreak for old-bootrom iPhone 3GS, this revision corrects that error. iPhone Dev Team notes that if you have an old-bootrom 3GS and have already used last nights redsn0w on it, you can re-run it again without losing anything. Just use this new version, go to Extras->IPSW and manually select the 5.0.1 IPSW, then go back and Jailbreak it again (but you can uncheck Cydia because its already installed). Redsn0w 0.9.9b9 adds the following:

• 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 redsn0ws 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 doesnt 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 compatability 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. (Update: please wait for 0.9.9b9b for this!)
• 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 @notcoms TinyCFW but doesnt require lots of RAM or a TSS-assisted restore. Wont 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.

Devices supported:

• iPod touch 3G
• iPod touch 4G
• iPad 1
• iPhone3GS
• iPhone4 (GSM)
• iPhone4 (CDMA)

This update is still a tethered jailbreak for all devices running iOS 5 except old-bootrom iPhone 3GS. An untethered jailbreak should be released by pod2g sometime in the near future, no ETA on a release.
