Redsn0w 0.9.6b5 Download Available
Redsn0w 0.9.6b5 has been released for download for both Mac OS X and Windows, and it allows you to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 on iPhone. This new version of redsn0w is particularly valuable to those wanting to unlock their iPhone from baseband 05.14 and 05.15 because it prepares the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G for unlocking with ultrasn0w.
Redsn0w might also be considered easier to use since the application will automatically download the iPad IPSW 3.2.2 file from Apple rather than you having to do it yourself, meaning you only have to point at one IPSW file, which is your own jailbroken version.
Download redsn0w 0.9.6b5
You can grab the latest beta 5 version of redsn0w 0.9.6 for Mac or Windows:
- Download redsn0w 0.9.6b5 for Mac – click here
- Download redsn0w 0.9.6b5 for Windows – click here
Note: these links have been updated to download the rc16, the newest version of redsn0w.
Be sure to keep your device plugged in and powered via USB throughout the entire jailbreak process with redsn0w. For Windows 7 and Vista users, be sure to run redsn0w as Administrator in “Windows XP Compatability Mode” to avoid any errors.
The functionality of Redsn0w 0.9.6b5 is similar to PwnageTool 4.1.3 in that it allows you to upgrade to 06.15 baseband (from the iPad) which is vulnerable to the newly released ultrasn0w 1.2 unlock. This is currently the only way you can unlock certain versions of iPhone baseband.
Update: A new version of redsn0w has been released, you can now download redsn0w 0.9.6rc8, the new version is recommended for all.
very very very thanks a lot bro… its works perfectly.. i searched from 2 days finally u helped me…
thanks
Hey guys,
when your redsnow craches after your ramdisk, you maybe not have the right version of your iphone on your computer. If you want to know what version your iphone really haves, and you cant see that because he is locked or something, just download tinyumbrella, it wil say what version your iphone is. and with a site , you can download your version
Hi All,
Checkout the Editor post on 3/12/2010, I managed to flash the baseband follow the link.
Thanks!
iphone 3g , ios 3.12 , sim not detected, plz help
Hi I am really struggling to unlock and jailbreak my iphone 3g, which is on 4.2.1 filmware and 05.15.04 baseband. I have downloaded, redsn0w 0.9.6b5 and ipad 3.2.2 filware and iphone 4.2.1 filmware. My issue is when i run redsnow, i don’t get an option to install ipad baseband. Do you have to be on the latest itunes? I’m not sure what I am doing wrong, do I need a higher redsnow file? Pls could someone help me and provide me with a link if possible, as I have been going round and round and feel somewhat dizzy
My Iphone ( 3G 4.2.1) I tried to jailbreak it but first ultrasnow says “fetching Ipad baseband” and then it crushes. Any ideas what i could do?
I am working on a Mac?

I successfully downloaded and installed redsn0w_win_0.9.6rc16 and iPhone1,2_4.2.1_8C148_restore.ipsw
on my FIDO iphone 3G (with the SIM card removed :-)
Now that Cydia is running, how do I unlock the phone?
I want to use the phone with 7-Eleven Speakout
I tried to find “ultrasn0w” in the search but found nothing.
This is the first time I have jailbroken a phone, so I am a bit of a nub. Thank you very much for your help.

i had the same problem with an iphone 3g so make sure u download redsnow 0.9.6b5 and run it as an administrator then go to task manager and right click on set affinity then uncheck all cpus except cpu 1 when ur done with that set priority to high that will defenitly solve your problem, if not i recommend you to unlpck and jailbreak your phone on a Mac
redsnow 0.9.8b3 not working for iphone 4 ios 4.3.5
I had the same problem with .9.6 beta4 of redsnow just disappearing during the jailbreak. I DL .9.6 beta6 and it worked like a charm!!!
I can’t find Redsn0w 0.9.6b5 verson anywhere.. can anyone help please?
im having all the same problems that redsnow crashes everytime, tried all that is said on here and it does the same? im on windows 7 and there is no option to click option 1 cpu?
any ideas?
i’m on 7 ult and can click any of 4 cores on mine.
I have downloadedredsn0w_win_0.9.6rc16 and iPhone1,2_4.2.1_8C148_restore.ipsw when I select iPhone1,2_4.2.1_8C148_restore.ipsw it tells me unable to recognize ispw.

Same problem dude :/
Im in ireland so doubt location has anything to do with it
We struggled repeatedly and I figured out a solution last night. We followed the process and selected each attribute to be installed EXCEPT the iPad Baseband. Then we did the process again, and ONLY selected the iPad Baseband. Worked like a charm.
Hey guyz,
I am having a weird problem. I am trying to unlock iphone 3G modem 05.15. . The thing that is happening with me is that redsnow gets stuck at fetching i pad baseband for a little while and then suddenly closes. I tried all the affinity, priority, and even tried to do it on XP, XP service pack 2 and 3. Also tried it on i mac but the same problem persists. I am in Saudi Arabia does that have something to do with it or is there some other better solution to this problem!
see the reply in rkx1
Hello saleem we have the same problem any issues to solve this???If uou have progress please share it to me also. Thank you..
Please some tell me how to upgrad the Iphone 3G from 3.1.3 MF 05.12.01 to 4.2.1 without using Ipad firmware or upgrading baseband?
I NEED HELP!!!
problem= i phone 3g 8gb is stuck in recovery mode, and wont let me restore, error 1015 keeps poping up, i was told that if i download redsnow 0.9.6b5, a 4.2.1 firmware for 3g and then a custom 4.2.1 firmware aswell it could help, so i downloaded it (so i thought) but then its icon didnt pop up (redsnow) on my main icon’s screen. so i went to download it again and it wont let me.
HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!
Solution is: Run Redsn0w, Open Task Manager, Select tab Processes, right click redsn0w.exe, select menu “Set Affinity…” and uncheck CPU 0. After this setting continue jail break procedure…
IT WORKED :D THANKS ALOT!!!!!!
If i have iOS 4 (not 4.2) will it work or do I need to upgrade to iOS 4.2?
I’ve got iOS 3.1.2 with baseband 05.11.07… will this tutorial unlock my iphone 3GS after updating to 4.2.1 manually? If not, please link a working unlock&jailbreak tutorial! Thank you!
btw, does anyone know of a vibrate keyboard tweak? i used to have 1 on ios 3.x
!!!!!!!! thanks to users above who posted this info as it solved my problems of redsnow crashing:
Right click and run as administrator 1st, then start redsn0w and then go into the the task manager (press alt+ctrl+del). There you have got to go to the tab processes. Right-click on redsn0w and click on the last option. There you have to deactivate CPU0 and let CPU1 on. give redsn0w a high priority too.
Cindy…try this link:
http://www.iphoneworld.ca/news/2010/11/28/download-redsn0w-0-9-6b5-iphone-ipad-itouch-ios-4-2-1-jailbreak-mac-windows/
I cant seem to download the redsnow file. It keeps saying page is not found. HELP!!
A lot of people are getting stuck in DFU mode (Apple screen boot loop).
Try REC Boot or Easyirecovery (google) if one doesn’t work the other will. You may also need Microsoft .NET framework 4.0 which you can get from windows update free of charge.
Happy iDevicing

hi guys
i run windows vista and i have an iphone 3g I did the all the steps u guys mentioned but still my phone’s screen stuck on a black flashy screen…(redsn0w on screen says the rest of process will continue on ur phone) but nothin happens iam trying this for over 1 week and iam about losingmy mind please help!!!
same problem… :( any solution?
I’m assuming you can’t do the jailbreak using Windows XP?
@kevin try to do a manual installation of iOS 4.2.1 and not an upgrade/restore
Hi guys, I was having the redsn0w crashing problem on Vista too.
To alleviate it I did all of the following:
– Right clicked redsn0w and selected compatibility mode to windows xp service pack 2
– Clicked ‘run as administrator’
– Once opened I then pressed ctl alt del, went to task manager, selected ‘show processes from all users’, accepted the UAC notification, then right clicked on redsn0w and selected ‘set affinity’ and selected only one cpu (deselect all but one of the cpu’s)
This worked perfectly.
Thanks for all the comments and help.
Man i love you… really love you. I m trying a week to jaibreak it and you solve my problem. Really thank you!!
I have a iPhone 3g with 4.2.1, it was jailbroke with the 4.1, but i had to do a factory restore. So i am trying to jailbreak it again and everytime i am stuck on the waiting for reboot everything else runs smoothly, i set the affiniti to cpu1 only, run as admin, priority high, compatability mode to win xp (im using win 7) and tried to do it with upgrading to ipad baseband….any suggestions?? Thanks in advance for any help
3GS 4.2.1 old bootrom
Jailbreak: Needed Redsn0w 0.9.6.b6 – set to XP compatibility mode (windows 7 enterprise), ran as administrator and set affinity of Redsn0w process to CPU 1 only. This was after 2 failed attempts with the older versions. Thanks to everyone on every forum that I’ve read.

But the problem is now my phone got updated with Itunes and it is stuck at Itunes Logo -USB.

Had the same problem. you have got to start redsn0w and then gointo the the task manager (press alt+ctrl+del). There you have got to go to the tab processes. Right-click on redsn0w and click on the last option. There you have to deactivate CPU0 and let CPU1 on. If you want to be sure that there will nothing come between the process of jailbreaking give redsn0w a high priority too.
Hope this helps some of you.

It should help you get back on track.
Guyz – Those getting stuck at “uploading to Ramdisk”….
Hit run as administrator, then open Task Manager, click on Redsn0w and set Affinity to CPU1 only.. back out and continue through tethering (or initial loading with Cydia)…… Works every time like a champ.
thanks man! this did just the trick. I was getting the same message and getting stuck “uploading to Ramdisk”

hi all
i have a problem with resnow,after installing new ipsw and update the baseband to 6.15 my iphone stuck to apple logo after reboot and does not start up.
i unlocked and it worked but after restart its a big problem,screen is locked to apple logo.
if anyone helps,i will thank much.
Same here
same here, to get around it, reopen redsn0w, choose the option to just boot and reset the phone, i managed to get the phone booted!
Iphone 3g, i had the issue where it will get stucked on “uploading ramdisk”
im using Windows 7. it went through right after I selected the compatibility mode to windows XP.
So bottom line. you have to run redsnow under Windows XP. and if u have windows 7. right click the program and select windows XP
swweet!!! thanks for mentioning that!!!
my redsn0w seem to be stuck at waiting for reboot even after i selected iPad baseband any help?
It seems Redsnow is crashing for some of the people and I am one of them…..It keeps crashing, and just get stuck on my 3GS. Hard to jailbreak if this will be the case, anyone with any answer??

Thanks bro, your comment helped me very much and I’ve jailbreak-ed my iPhone 3G 4.2.1 without redsn0w crash which happened me a lots. Thanks again
Jonathan you are briliant, I could get rid of this problem but now I have another one when my iphone start to jailbreak it will stuck for a while in basband flashing then goes to apple logo forever :(
my iphone is 3gs with 4.2.1 and already been updated to 06.15
I would be garteful if you could help
thankyou so much worked perfectly.
How to deactivate CPU0 and let CPU1? sorry but my last option is go to service(s) (im on windows 7)
Ah I think i solved the prob.
You don’t have to save Redsn0w in C:/, save it anywhere but make sure to tick the iPad bassband box when jailbreaking with Redsn0w.
Thanks me
Redsn0w stuck on “waiting for device to reboot” screen.
Usually I would fix this problem by saving Redsn0w under C/program files/common files/apple/apple applications software, then running it as administrator.
BUT the Redsn0w is a zipped file and won’t extract!! I get a WinRAR Diagnostic Msg…
Any suggestions anyone?

Hey the way i got it to work for me was to start up redsn0w then go to task manager and processors, then right click Redsn0w and click change affinity or somthing then have CPU 1 checked only
that should work
thanks Ben , worked like a charm . was trying to get that damn thing going for too long .you’re a life saver , no way i could go back to just a plain Iphone . lol thanks again
Thank you BEN! you really helped us! all the best!
It works. Thank you Ben!
i found a workaround at http://www.hackint0sh.org/f206/192076.htm#post665811.

:-)
THANK YOU THANK YOU, GM!
I’ve been tearing my hair out over this and your simple solution solved my problem!!!!!
I’m running Windows Vista…
Cheers,
JaiLa
Also realized that this program is not designed for multithreading, if you have a multi-core processor deactivate every affinity except for cpu 1 and set priority to high
Thank you, Its working.. You are Great
My God GM!! u are a GENIOUS!!
hey guys got it to work only thing i checked was install cydia
