Download Redsn0w 0.9.9b1, Jailbreaks iOS Devices Fast and Easy

Posted by VdoCity Thursday, September 22, 2011

Two days ago, iPhone Dev-team member, MuscleNerd, Posted a tweet on his Twitter account that they will be pushing out major Redsn0w update with lots of new features and enhancements. Today, iPhone Dev-team has finally released the update to public. The updated version is 0.9.9b1 which brings jailbreak to every iOS device expect the iPad 2 which is only jailbreakable on iOS 4.3.3.
This version of Redsn0w brings jailbreak to iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch fast and easy, without even downloading those large size IPSW files. iPad 2 users who are running iOS 4.3.4, 4.3.5 still remain unlucky as this version of Redsn0w still can't jailbreak iPad 2. Changes in the version 0.9.9b1 include:
  • uses DFU mode to try to automatically determine which device and FW you have
  • fetches pieces of public IPSWs from Apple (once). Non-public IPSWs must be provided manually (once). It then caches those pieces for future use.
  • “Just boot” is a tethered boot. Uses whatever “Preferences” you’ve set for boot logo and kernel boot-args
  • “Pwned DFU” puts your device in a pwned DFU state for some of the iTunes stuff detailed below
  • “Recovery fix” gets past 1015 types of errors (when baseband portion of restore fails). Should work on iOS5 beta too
  • “Select IPSW” is for picking non-public IPSWs, or overriding auto-detection
  • “SHSH blobs” has a bunch of options…
  • “Fetch” – fetch current PARTIAL blobs on device. Should complete in under 10 or 15 seconds. Puts the set of PARTIAL of blobs on your computer as a plist. Checks if Cydia already has a full set for this device and build. If not, it submits this PARTIAL set and returns Cydia’s acknowledgement or rejection
  • “Verify” – cryptographically verifies existing blob files from either redsn0w, TinyUmbrella, or Cydia server. You can select a whole bunch of blobs to verify at once if you want (like the TinyUmbrella directory)
  • “Submit” – both verifies and submits one or more blob files to Cydia. This lets you copy your entire TinyUmbrella cache of blobs up to the Cydia server
  • “Query” – queries the Cydia server for all available FULL or PARTIAL blobs for a given set of ECIDs
  • “Stitch” – stitches either FULL or PARTIAL blobs to a STOCK or CUSTOM IPSW

  • FULL blobs stitched to a STOCK IPSW gives you a completely self-contained signed IPSW that iTunes will accept without any tricks (no need to go into pwned DFU mode, no need to start TinyUmbrella TSS server, no need to redirect to Cydia server for blobs)
  • PARTIAL blobs stitched to any IPSW requires you to go into pwned DFU mode before running iTunes. No need to start TU or use Cydia though.
  • stitching either FULL or PARTIAL blobs to a CUSTOM IPSW also requires a pwned DFU start before iTunes restores. No need to start TU or use Cydia though.
  • stitching is NOT yet supported on iPhones (well, at least not tested). Need to work out the baseband part of the restore process.
  • will eventually support fetching the blobs directly from Cydia instead of a file on your computer
I will be writing a full tutorial on how to jailbreak your device using Redsn0w 0.9.9b1 soon. Stay tuned. Below are the download links for the Redsn0w 0.9.9b1
