redsn0w Gets A Major Upgrade.


Submitted by Kevmau5; October 14, 2012
This recent upgrade brings it up to version 0.9.15b1. One thing I will mention before any of you skip this, redsn0w WILL NOT yet keep you at your current baseband (with exception of 3G[S] and iPhone 4). If upgrading to IOS 6.0, ultrasn0w HAS NOT been updated yet. So if you are looking for an unlock and a little upgrade in firmware...beware.
     

First, the high-level new feature list:

  • restore from any 5.x iOS to any other (up, down or the same) 5.x iOS on all devices as long as you have the correct blobs (see more below)
  • Cydia now included in the tethered 6.0 jailbreak on A4 devices
  • automatically “Just Boot” tethered when qualifying A4 device connects in DFU mode
  • untethered 6.0 jailbreak on old-bootrom 3GS
  • untethered 6.0 hactivation on any 3GS or iPhone4
  • directly restore pre-A5 devices to earlier firmware — no more complicated 15-step how-to’s with stitching, iTunes errors, and “hosts file” concerns
  • fetch new signed blobs for any IPSW (present or future — no redsn0w update required) using Extras->SHSH Blobs->New
  • block the BB update for any 3GS or iPhone4 restore (past, present, or future — no redsn0w update required) using Extras->Even More->Restore
  • deactivate any iPhone, useful for testing your “official” unlock status through iTunes.  (Please only deactivate your own iPhone!)
  • activation status shown on “Even more” page
  • significantly more (very nerdy) info returned by “Identify” button when device is in Normal mode
  • tethered jailbreak of ATV2 supported (but the only thing available for it is the SSH2 custom bundle available here — no Cydia yet.  Must use “Select IPSW” for tethered boot of ATV2 for now).
  • auto-exit WTF mode for older devices with broken buttons
  • any time a set of blobs is fetched remotely (from Apple or Cydia), redsn0w also saves them locally (and will check there first if you click “Local”)
  • for your future restoring convenience, you should also submit all of your past and present TinyUmbrella blobs to Cydia if you haven’t done so yet.  Resubmitting is okay and won’t cause conflicts.

 

For a full insight to the updates and for a better understanding, the update can be found on their BLOG. Again, be warned. Read carefully about your device and redsn0w's capabilities with it. If you are in any doubt whatsoever, submit your question in our FORUMS

have applied the redsnow jailbreak to my girlfriends 3gs. have not been able to get many "jailbreak" programs to work, even after a tethered boot (due to the phone being on the new bootrom). Any ideas?? cydia seems to work fine.
