Redsn0w 0.9.6b6 Download Available

redsn0w-0-9-6-b-6-download
Update: Download Redsn0w 0.9.6rc8 instead, it is the newest version. You can follow new redsn0w releases here.

Redsn0w 0.9.6b6 has been released for download for both Mac OS X and Windows. Redsn0w 0.9.6b6 is of particular interest to unlockers who experienced battery drain and the disabling of push notifications after unlocking with the previous version of redsn0w.

The new redsn0w includes the ability to enable a “Deactivate” option that removes previously installed patches on an unlocked iPhone, and instead allows you to use a new tool called “Subscriber Artificial Module” or SAM for short. SAM will perform a pseudo-official activation on an iPhone without a stock SIM, and it then tricks your unlocked iPhone and iTunes into sending legitimate activation tickets which returns the usage of push notifications. SAM should also provide a significant boost to your unlocked iPhone 3GS or 3G battery life.

Download Redsn0w 0.9.6b6

You can get the latest version of redsn0w now:

  • Download redsn0w 0.9.6b6 for Macclick here
  • Download redsn0w 0.9.6b6 for Windowsclick here

You can jailbreak and unlock iOS 4.2.1 as usual before installing the SAM tool. In order to use the new “Deactivate” option in redsn0w 0.9.6b6, you need to first install the SAM tool by adding http://repo.bingner.com as a repository to Cydia, and then installing SAM and SAMPrefs, and then you will be able to use Deactivate in the redsn0w app. Then you just need to enable SAM on your iPhone by tapping on Settings -> SAM -> “De-Activate iPhone”.

    HELP PLEASE!!! My ipod touch is BRICKED. I have tried everything, looked at tutorials on youtube, google and nothing works! I had a tethered jailbreak on my itouch 3g on the 5.01 firmware. My batteries ran out, and of course i tried to reboot it through redsn0w but it didn’t work! No matter what i did, it was stuck at the apple logo. I tried restoring it through itunes but the error 1600 kept coming up. I tried everything from custom firmwares, SHSH, itunes restore, ifaith, ireb, downgrading, pwnagetools. Everything i knew how to do and from tutorials on both mac and windows. Now my ipod is stuck on the usb with the arrow pointing at the itunes symbol. When i try to restore error 21 comes up. IS THERE ANYONE WHO CAN HELP ME? IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

    Hey
    I have iPhone 3g, 8GB (Jail broke & Unlocked) version 4.1 and baseband 6.15.00 and now i want to update it to version 4.2 so can anyone tell me whether i first have to update it from itunes or not?
    from where i can get custom ipsw 4.2?

    I tried directly jail breaking with 4.2 IPSW from redsnOw i.e without updating from itunes but nothing happened the version of iphone is still showing 4.1?

    I would really appreciate if anyone can help me with this.

    Thanks

  11. Paul says:

    Maybe I am doing something totally wrong here but when I click to download redsn0w 0.9.6b6 for Windows It loads a page that tells me “Page not found We’re sorry, but we were unable to locate the page you requested.” This is my first time doing anything like this and I’m not super tech savvy. I have an iPhone 3G running 4.2.1 and baseband 05.15.04. I mostly just want to jailbreak and unlock it so I can use it on tmobile. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  12. teemac says:

    Tried using the 0.9.6b4-5-6 download links and not one will let me download. Actually b4 downloaded but it seems like it downloaded an empty file and wont let me extract the file. I also tried using 0.9.6rc7b, it goes to the ramdisk, iphone starts showing download and then redsn0w crashes… any help?

    • Steven says:

      Are you using windows? If so, are you receiving a message saying “redsnow has stopped responding” and you must restart the program?
      If this is the case, you need to go to your start bar and search for the program “run”. Run this “run” program, and enter “regedit” into the text box that appears.
      From the system directory that appears, go to

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Windows\ErrorMode
      and change the number there to 2.

      Then go to

      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\DontShowUI

      and change the value to 1.

      This will stop the error message from appearing, allowing the program to continue running. I had the same problem and following these steps helped me.

    • MrBleach says:

      u should jailbreak using the redsn0w 0.9.10b5; click jailbreak; put iphone into dFW mode (i think thats what it is) and at the selection screen u need to click cydia (already selected); baseband upgrade (must click to do any unlocking); and then deactivate. let it run. Congratz u completed the first step.

      Now at this point do not put any GSM card in. go to cydia app; and go to manage>sources>add sources; u need to add repo666.ultrasn0w.com; then go to search and search for ultrasn0w. install it; and u have unlocked ur iphone.

    it worked for me A ++

    Download :

    redsn0w 0.9.6b6

    Download the Firm Ware of your mobile phone

    ( if 3gs upgrade to 4.2.1 or 3g Stay on 4.1 if you havnt upgraded )

    after all this install cydia in the process and then after its jailbroken go to cydia and search

    redsn0w and download and install the package which says redsn0w and repo666 etc etc.

    and after the installation the phone is ready to be used :)

      I think you NEED to restore it or google kick i3GS out of rec mode. That is because your iPhone is in recovery mode
