Redsn0w 0.9.6b4 Download Available Now
Redsn0w 0.9.6b4 has been released for download by the iPhone dev team, and it allows you to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1, but there’s a catch; not all hardware get an untethered jailbreak. Redsn0w 0.9.6b4 only supports the following devices for untethered jailbreaks: iPhone 3G, older iPhone 3GS, and older iPod touch 2G models. All other iOS devices will have to be plugged into your computer with redsn0w launched each time you reboot the device (or your battery dies). For this reason, I would recommend most people wait on trying to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 until another untethered solution is available.

Note about unlocking iOS 4.2.1
If you plan on unlocking your iPhone, do not update to iOS 4.2.1 and do not use redsn0w for now because it will update your baseband. Unlockers should save SSH blobs from their current firmware (iOS 4.1 or earlier) and wait for a PwnageTool update so that you can upgrade to iOS 4.2.1 without updating the devices firmware. If you update to 4.2.1 you risk losing the ability to unlock your iPhone.
Update about unlocking iOS 4.2.1
You can get the redsn0w 0.9.6b5 download which will work to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 and allows you to unlock iOS 4.2.1 with ultrasn0w for iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS.
Update 2: redsn0w 0.9.6b6 download is now available and helps to resolve battery drain issues with unlocked iPhone 3GS and 3G models.
Update 3: Redsn0w 0.9.6rc8 is out.

(do have to say it seems the battery is running low faster though…)
OK, so I’ve looked through all the comments and responses and I’m certain my issue has not come up/been resolved.
On iPod 2G MB, I get through everything, and when it says its finished, the screen is blank
I never get a “downloading jailbreak data” and the icon to come up. Instead, its just a black screen.
Could anyone please help? This would be much appreciated.
Hi,
I am trying to unlock my iphone 3gs(4.2.1 8c148a) as i don’t have the sim to be activated.
I am using resnow 0.9.6b6 and the 4.2.1 restore firmware for jailbreaking. I am runnig the exe file in the XP service pack 2 compatabilit mode and as an administrator but still it gets strucked up at the exploiting with limra1n.
Could anyone please help me on this.
i’ve dont everything the directions say. when i go to open the redsn0w file on my desktop is says its invalid and i cannot open it. i don’t know why and i’ve googled many things looking for a solution. also- not sure if im in compadibility mode. i’ve tried to change it but im not sure exactly what i’ve done. please help!
hello i need help,i have a iphone 3g with ios 4.2 and i would like to unlock ,should i use rednsow?wich version?
Just followed the instructions in the tutorial and above posts, and guess what? It worked fine. iPod touch 2g mb model for those who are curious.
It seems far too many people are complaining and posting problems before reading any comments on the board, if you just read above posts, all questions are answered. Instead of being lazy and posting the same questions repeatedly and pissing off the people who can and will help you, make sure it’s not answered. I’m getting sick of seeing the same post fifteen times from different people when the answer is already posted several times.
NO, PEOPLE ARE JUST DUMB AND DONT LISTEN!!!
YOU MUST RUN REDSNOW IN WINDOWS XP COMPATIBILITY MODE AND RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR!!!
THEN IT WORKS FINE!!!
man forget Redsn0w it isnt working for 1/2 the people on this page and obviously is a joke. if you cant fix the problems associated with the program then dont publish it. thx
NO YOU JUST NEED TO LEARN TO READ!! IT DID THE SAME THING TO ME UNTIL YOU RUN THE PROGRAM IN XP COMPATIBILITY MODE AS ADMINISTRATOR THEN IT WORKS FINE
Thank you i couldnt find that anywhere once i switched, it worked great
i have the redsn0w 0.9.6b4 and a 4.2.1 iOS but whenever i download redsn0w0.9.6b4 and try to open it is says windows can not open this folder it is a compressed (zipped file) any help????

Getting stuck at Uploading Ramdisk… come on REDSN0W!!
I get stucket at “uploading ramdisk”. i´m on IOS 4.2.1.
any help?:D
the download link for windows is down, please reupload it..
thanks
Can someone help me? after intalling redsn0w i opened cydia and asked me to upgrade then i turned off my itouch. after that i turned it on again and cydia wont open anymore.
It may have been the the tethered version of jailbreak you had because on the tethered version if you switch of your phone off you will have to do the prosess again. So open up redsnow and click browser and the file you need to select is iPhone3,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore, after that click next and then make sure the only option that is selected is Just Boot Tethered Right Now
Just try that and it should be up and running and if it isnt then you may have to install the whole cydia thing again
Thank you so much for this, you have no idea how long I was searching for a working JB for the Iphone4. TYTYTY! :D
Ok so i have an ipod touch 2G MC model, and on the Dev team blog it says itll work with 2G MC but as a tethered, but when i select my firmware in redsn0w it says that the iPod touch 2G MC is not supported yet? anyone know why? I already tried running as administrator and in XP Compatability mode. (using windows 7)
I Need Help I Have A Ipod Touch 2g MB and It Keeps Stoping At The Ram Disk Part. Plz Help!
do it again
There’s even problem to open redsnow!!!
read a how-to guide, redsn0w works fine
mine is stuck when the redsn0w displays exploiting with limera1n.. process bar fills up half soon after starting but doesnt increase after that.. waited 2 hours.. tried 3 times.. out of luck.. ipod 3g, mc, 4.2.1… can any1 help??
mine got halfway thru the limera1n thing and froze halfway through, then i realised I was using wrong firmware, it’s not all that easy to tell between models of ipod touch unless you check by serial number on the back of the ipod in the smallprint (under the bit that says 8gb, 32gb etc)
hey so i’ve used this version of redsn0w before on my ipod but after restoring it i went to re-jailbreak it and redsn0w is not recognizing it in dfu mode.. It comes up on my computer as “Apple Mobile Device (DFU Mode)” But it’s not showing up in redsn0w.. Anyone with the same problem or a solution?? that would be very appreciated
ok so pretty much i have a ipod touch 3g with 4.2.1 gold master firmware and im trying to jailbreak it. i understand that i can only have a tethered jailbreak at the time (not really sure what that means tho) will i b able to have cydia or installus for apps or will i have to ssh them and if so how do i do that?????? plz n e body out there helpppp!
So which version of redsn0w should I use to unlock a 4g with 4.2.1 firmware.
it just stops at uploading ramdisk.. i have 4.1.
First, you should use redsn0w 0.9.5b5 instead
Second, be sure to run redsn0w as Administrator in XP Compatability mode. You do this by right-clicking on the exe and selecting the options.
this is the key to success!
Same – mine freezes during the ramdisk upload – any answers?
mine is stuck while redsn0w shows exploiting with limera1n… the process bar is half full and doesnt increase after that.. waited for 2 hours.. tried 3 times.. 4.2.1, mc, 3g, ipod touch. can any1 help??
YOU PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN TO READ!!! YOU MUST RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR IN WINDOWS XP COMPATIBILITY MODE!!!
thanks bro, this is the safest thing and way to jailbreak!!! And im a first timer so i was sceptical at first but i did it!!!!
