Untethered Jailbreak is Coming Soon via RedSn0w and PwnageTool, No iPad2 Support

The iPhone Dev-Team has announced that they will release updated versions of both RedSn0w and PwnageTool to provide an untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.3.1.

Currently the team is working on overall 4.3.x jailbreak issues and getting Cydia ready for the release. I0n1c's untether has been tested and described as 'solid'.

The upcoming releases of RedSn0w and PwnageTool will support the Apple TV 2 but will not support the iPad 2. Musclenerd notes that they are waiting to find a legal method of distributing comex's 4.3 jailbreak for the iPad 2 before they make it public.

We will let you know as soon as the jailbreak becomes available.

Chronic Dev-Team Announces Untether for iOS 4.2.1 Jailbreak

The Chronic Dev-Team has announced an untether for the iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak.

The untether is demoed in the video below. It's a result of a collaboration between @0naj, @p0sixninja, and @pod2g. P0sixninja has previously said it will not require iOS 4.2b3 SHSH blobs.

Pod2g notes that a small bug remains where the wifi icon doesn't show up. Once fixed they will package the untether for release.

Stay tuned for further details...

RedSn0w Gets Updated to Easily Boot Devices With Tethered Jailbreak

The iPhone Dev-Team has updated RedSn0w to easily boot devices that are running a tethered jailbreak.

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

open ~/Desktop/redsn0w.app —args -j \ ~/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

You can download RedSn0w 0.9.6rc7 from here:
● Mac
● Windows

iPhone Dev-Team to Update RedSn0w Beta Today, Windows Update Coming Soon

RedSn0w .9.7b4 will be released today to untether your iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak without the need for usbmuxd.

This untether is a 'backup plan' from the iPhone Dev-Team. It requires access to the iOS 4.2b3 firmware and your iOS 4.2b3 SHSH blobs saved.

Currently, the untether is Mac only but the next update will bring Windows support.

Today's beta4 will eliminate separate usbmuxd process (so many more Mac users can use it). After that, expand to Windows.

You can find our instructions on performing the untether here.
