The Dev Team have released the latest version of Redsn0w for all the developers out there who have to update to the latest OS 4.0 betas despite loosing their jailbreak. This latest version can jailbreak your iPhone/iPod Touch which is on OS 4.0 beta 4. The is intended only for developers.

The things that you need to remeber about the Spirit jailbreak are:

• Spirit is an untethered jailbreak.
• Spirit works on all devices.  (However, the redsn0w and PwnageTool flows will continue to work on those devices they’ve always worked on)
• Spirit does not include a carrier unlock.  (Please don’t bug @comex about that)
• Spirit requires your device to be activated or hacktivated

Userland jailbreaks are more troublesome for Apple since they expose security weaknesses that exist even for non-jailbroken owners.  As such, Apple is likely to close them soon after they’re made public. One recent example of this is the SMS vulnerability exposed at Blackhat last summer.  Apple released new firmware to close that hole within a day.

The Spirit jailbreak is most useful for newer devices: iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G, and the iPads.  Unfortunately those devices are the same ones that Apple can prevent you from downgrading unless you’ve got a backup of your personalized SHSH blobs.  Unless you’ve backed up your SHSH blobs for vulnerable firmware versions, you’ll lose the ability to use the current Spirit jailbreak if you accidentally upgrade.

As the Dev Team warms, you need to backup your SHSH blobs for all your device. If you haven’t already done it, we will be posting a guide so check back soon!

Redsn0w version 0.95 is meant for developers as they are the only ones who are *supposed* to have the iPhone OS 4.0. Naturally, someone somewhere did leak it onto the internet meaning quite a few peolpe updated without realizing you need your UDID on a dev’s account. So, this jailbreak is only intended for devs. DO NOT INSTALL OS 4.0 IF YOU ARE NOT A DEV!

Also, do not updated your iPhone if you are planning on unlocking your iPhone as OS 4.0 contains a baseband update.

As OS 4.0 can only be installed by dev and you can only be a dev if you have a Mac, Redsn0w 0.95 was only released for Mac users.

Help! I should have listened and just left this for JB app devs!

Finally! An update from Chronic Dev Team about Greenpois0n. However, what was originally going to be an untethered jailbreak for the new iPhone 3GSs and iPod Touch 3rd generation has turned into some much, much cooler. An iPad jailbreak!

That’s right. Joshua (a member of Chronic) tweeted out a few screenshots of Greenpois0n running on Linux and asked for donations if anyone wanted an iPad jailbreak. An iPad jailbreak for OS 3.2 is in the works!

The exploit for 3.1.3 & 3.2 has been known for a while now but both the Dev Team and Chronic Dev Team are keeping them on the down low to avoid Apple patching them before the iPad and potentially OS 4.0 is released.

The Chronic Dev Team HAD been working on the untethered jailbreak for ages and never released anything which brings a little doubt about the authenticity of this jailbreak but I for one hope it’s true.

If you would like to donate towards this program (at your own risk), click HERE.

Rumor has it that the Dev Team, who are the most prolific and succesful jailbreaking team out there, have managed to find an exploit for the newest baseband update 05.12.01.

This news brings joy to the users who want to unlock their iPhone but accidently updated to OS 3.1.3.

There is no information yet about a release date.

Firstly, they have corrected the previous news that the baseband had been exploited. It is apparently not fully true. Sherif has managed to crash the baseband which will probably cause an exploit to be found but it hasn’t been found yet.

Plus, be aware of scams. More info inside!

In other words it is not 100% certain that an exploit is coming. It is all down to the Dev Team now to figure out how to use it to create a new unlock for the iPhone on 05.12.01 baseband. They are currently conducting tests and if all goes well, the program will be created and released. There is no ETA (estimated time of arrival) as of late for the program.

Warning: The Dev Team have also warned iPhone users about website who are currently posting that they have a unlock for OS 3.1.3 baseband 05.12.01 and are demanding money for it. It is not true. There is no 05.12.01 baseband unlock at the moment so do not waste your money!

Perhaps due to concern over the release of Sn0wybreeze which has caused some users to have trouble when jailbreak their devices, they have gone ahead and released a new version of their PwnageTool application allowing users to create custom IPSW files on Macs.

If you own an iPhone 3GS it is recommended that you do not update but simply stay on OS 3.1.2. There is no real difference between the two firmwares and there is no point in upgrading and risking loosing your jailbreak/unlock. You should really only update (for now) if you know you have your SHSH saved with Cydia.

Click to download: HERE

This jailbreaking tool supports the iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS with early bootrom, iPod touch 1G, and iPod touch 2G with early bootrom.  If you don’t know if you have an early bootrom or not, please avoid updating until you learn more.

Full Press Release from Dev Team:

On Tuesday, Apple released firmware 3.1.3 for the iPhone and iPod touches.  Unless you’ve personally observed a problem with the reporting of your battery percentage, there’s no reason to update to 3.1.3.  We know some of you will want to anyway.  Superbowl Sunday’s PwnageTool 3.1.5 for Mac OS X will let you do so safely, preserving your jailbreak and ultrasn0w unlock.  (If you use the blacksn0w unlock (at baseband 05.11.07), you need to stay at 3.1.2.)

iPhone 3G and 3GS unlockers should always be very wary to update their firmware.  This is no exception.  If you make a mistake along the way you may find yourself updating to official 3.1.3 in which case you will lose your unlock, possibly forever.

iPhone 3GS users (regardless of unlock) should stay away from this and all 3.1.3 jailbreak tools unless you know you have your “SHSH hashes” backed up via Cydia.  That’s because if you make a mistake you may find yourself stuck at official 3.1.3 with no way to jailbreak or come back down to 3.1.2 to jailbreak.

If you really truly feel that you need to update, this version creates a custom 3.1.3 IPSW for you to restore to on your iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS with early bootrom, iPod touch 1G, and iPod touch 2G with early bootrom.  If you don’t know if you have an early bootrom or not, please avoid updating until you learn more.

You don’t need to be pre-jailbroken on anything but the iPod touch 2G early bootrom.  And really for that device, it’s faster and easier to use redsn0w 0.9.4 as mentioned in our last post.  For that matter, if you have an ipt1g, iphone2g, or iphone3g(and don’t need an unlock), you should use redsn0w too (but version 0.9.3).  It’s faster and you won’t have to go through a full restore process (just do an update then run redsn0w, pointing it at 3.1.2 FW instead of 3.1.3).

If you have an iPhone 3GS, PwnageTool works if you’re currently at version 3.1.2 or below (down to 3.0).  You don’t need to be already jailbroken — PwnageTool will ask you if you’re jailbroken after you’ve created the IPSW.  Don’t use PwnageTool on the iPhone 3GS if you’re at 3.1.3, it just won’t work.  Downgrade to 3.1.2 using the methods described here.  If you can’t downgrade because you don’t have your 3GS 3.1.2 hashes on file with Cydia, you’ll need to sit out the 3.1.3 jailbreak.

We aren’t revealing any new exploits to Apple with this jailbreak. Everything here has been used before, it’s just a straightforward port of Pwnage2 and 24Kpwn to the new firmware.  It’s possible the new firmware was released largely to flush out new exploits before the next big release.  We won’t be biting.

We’d really like the above warnings and disclaimers to sink in. Please don’t download the files below and use them blindly.

This is after the problem caused when Apple both released a new iPhone/iPod Touch firmware OS 3.1.3 (which contained only bugfixes) and the fact that they suddenly stopped signing the OS 3.1.2 firmware. This means users who needed to restore, couldn’t restore to OS 3.1.2 any more but only to OS 3.1.3.

There already are some jailbreaks for OS 3.1.3, Redsn0w and Sn0wybreeze, but as Redsn0w doesn’t work for the iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 3rd gen, some users will still need PwnageTool. Sn0wybreeze is not getting very good reviews at the moment and it probably would be wise to wait for PwnageTool rather than Snowybreeze.

But as MuscleNerd says, if you are not having any trouble with OS 3.1.2, do not update. There is no point.

Sn0wbreeze is essentially a Windows port of the Dev Team’s PwnageTool. It allows you to create custom IPSW firmwares (allowing you to maintain your current baseband when updating).

The Sn0wybreeze jailbreak ONLY jailbreaks iPhone (iPhone 2G, 3G and 3GS (with old bootrom) so if you have an iPod Touch, you will still need to use Redsn0w.

DO NOT use custom boot logos with the iPhone 3GS as you will get an error when installing it.

There is no current jailbreak (Sn0wybreeze or Redsn0w) for the iPod Touch 3rd generation or iPhone 3GS with the new bootrom.

You can download the program from below: (Downloads have been corrected)

• Redsn0w 0.9.4 (MAC)
• Redsn0w 0.9.4 (WIN)

For guides, the process is exactly the same as for OS 3.1.2 with Redsn0w so therefore the below guides are still relevent. Simply direct the OS 3.1.2 firmware to the program (as said in the guide) EVEN THOUGH you have OS 3.1.3 on the device.

How to Jailbreak your iPhone 3GS on OS 3.1.2 with Redsn0w 0.9.2 (WIN)

If you want more customizable jailbreak, you can use PwnageTool (for Macs) or Sn0wybreeze (for Windows) to make custom IPSW for jailbreaking your devices.

Redsn0w is a jailbreaking tool created by the Dev Team which allows you to jailbreak your device as well as change the boot logo and enable verbose mode.

This guide is for Mac. For Windows go here.

Step One
Create a folder on your desktop called Pwnage

Download RedSn0w from here and place it in the Pwnage folder. Likewise, download the latest 3.1.2 firmware from below and place it in the same folder.

3.1.2 (3GS): iPhone2,1_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw

Double click the redsn0w zip file to extract the redsn0w folder to the Pwnage folder.

Step Two
Connect your iPhone to the computer and launch iTunes.

Select your iPhone from the list of devices on the left. Now hold down Option and click the Restore button. Restore is preferred as it won’t create any wasted space on your iPhone.

Navigate to the Pwnage folder on your desktop and select the firmware ipsw. Click the Open button to continue.

*Note: If you are already on the 3.1.2 firmware and have not jailbroken then you may skip this step.

Step Three
Once iTunes has finished updating your iPhone to the desired firmware open the Pwnage folder on your desktop and launch the redsn0w application from the redsn0w folder we extracted earlier.

Step Four
Once RedSn0w opens click the Browse button

Step Five
Select the firmware ipsw we placed in the Pwnage folder on our desktop then click Open

Step Six
RedSn0w will ask you if this is a newer (fixed) model iPhone. Newer models of the iPhone 3GS have a fixed bootrom which requires you to connect your device to the computer each time you wish to reboot.

To find your serial number you can follow these instructions. The week number is usually the 4th and 5th digit of the serial number. For example, a serial number beginning with 88926 would be week 26 of 2009. 3GS units made week 45 or later will usually have a fixed bootroom. Before week 40 they usually have the older bootroom. Between weeks 40 and 45 the results vary.

If you believe your device has a fixed bootrom then press the Yes button. Otherwise press the No button.

If you accidentally select the wrong option you may have to do a full restore so please make this choice carefully.

Step Seven
Once the firmware has been verified click the Next button to continue.

Step Eight
RedSn0w will now prepare the jailbreak data

Step Nine
From this window you can select the jailbreak options you would like. If you have already pwned your device check the Already pwned option.

Verbose boot displays detailed information on boot of your device and is generally only needed by developers and advanced users.

Make sure Cydia is selected. For this tutorial we will also select Custom boot logo and Custom recovery logo.

When you click to select each custom logo option a dialog window will appear asking you to select the image. Locate the image you would like to use then press the Open button.

*Remember the rules for boot logos are: RGB or Grayscale format with Alpha channel and dimension below 320×480.

Click the Next button to continue

Step Ten
RedSn0w will now instruct you on how to put your iPhone into recovery mode. Disconnect you iPhone 3GS from the computer then power it off. Then hold down the Home button while reconnecting the device to the computer. Don’t let go of the button until RedSn0w detects the iPhone and begins installation.

Step Eleven
Your iPhone will now reboot

Step Twelve
RedSn0w will then begin uploading the new RAM Disk and kernel.

Step Thirteen
Once this is complete you will be notified that RedSn0w is done. Click the Finish button. When your iPhone finishes rebooting (5 minutes or so) it will be jailbroken with Cydia on the SpringBoard.

Extract the RedSn0w executable from the zip file to the Pwnage folder.

Step Two
Connect your iPhone to the computer and launch iTunes.

Select your iPhone from the list of devices on the left. Now hold down shift and click the Restore button. Restore is preferred as it won’t create any wasted space on your iPhone.

Navigate to the Pwnage folder on your desktop and select the firmware ipsw. Click the Open button to continue.

Step Three
Once iTunes has finished updating your iPhone to the desired firmware you may launch redsnw0w.exe from the Pwnage folder on your desktop.

Step Four
Once RedSn0w opens click the Browse button

Step Five
Select the firmware ipsw we placed in the Pwnage folder on our desktop then click Open

Step Ten
RedSn0w will then begin uploading the new RAM Disk and kernel.

Step Eleven
Once this is complete you will be notified that RedSn0w is done. Click the Finish button. When your iPhone finishes rebooting (5 minutes or so) it will be jailbroken with Cydia on the SpringBoard.

This release supports:
All iPhones and iPod touches (still a tethered-only JB for late-model devices though)
Apple firmware 3.0 and 3.1.2
Windows and Mac OSX (x86)

It will also soon run on the PPC OSX, and Linux platforms.

If you need a carrier unlock, redsn0w will handle iPhone 2G by itself (by installing our BootNeuter utility). For the 3G and 3GS, use Cydia after you’re jailbroken to install ultrasn0w (baseband 04.26, preferred) or blacksn0w (baseband 05.11).

How does it differ from Blackra1n?

Unlike the Blackra1n, RedSnow installs Cydia, and the IPCC tethering hack without needing separate downloads.

How long should it take?

You should see a picture of a drive (“Downloading Jailbreak Data”) within 30 seconds of launching the jailbreak (after you’ve made your custom selections). It should then reboot and you should see a running pwnapple while the process is underway. It should finish within a minute or two after that, and will reboot on its own.
Is it safe?

The Windows version has been tested by small groups of volunteers on IRC and our blog since mid-January. That being said, if things go wrong you may have to do a system restore…so make sure your data and pictures are synced before trying it.
