Redsn0w 0.9.12b1 Brings Untethered Jailbreak to iOS 5.1.1 [Download Links]

Redsn0w 0.9.12b1 jailbreaks iOS 5.1.1

The popular Redsn0w jailbreak utility has been updated to bring untethered jailbreaks to iOS 5.1.1 on most iDevices. Versioned as redsn0w 0.9.12b1, the tool supports the following hardware on 5.1.1: iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad, iPad 2, iPad 3, iPod touch 3rd and 4th gen, and Apple TV1 and ATV2. The A5 support is identical to that found in the recently released Absinthe 2 for iOS 5.1.1, which focused on the new iPad and iPhone 4S.

If you are already jailbroken tethered with iOS 5.1.1 you can use Cydia to download the Rocky Raccoon untether, you do not need to re-run Redsn0w. Likewise, if you’ve already installed the rocky-raccoon package to untether a 5.1.1 jailbreak there is no reason to download or use the new redsnow tool.

Download Redsn0w 0.9.12b1

These are direct download links from the iPhoneDevTeam:

Windows users must run redsn0w in administrator mode.

If you like to follow guides, here is a simple tutorial on using Redsn0w for an untethered iOS 5.1.1 jailbreak.

  11. James says:

    The newest absenthe 2.04 is the best way to go if you have the most recent update which is ios 5.1.1. I put that type of jailbreak on my friends and it did excelent.
    But what i did was download redsnow and it was not the right one, it was tetherd and when i tried to download a paccage on cydia it would not let me so im tryin to delete that jailbreak so i can put absenthe on it. but idk if there is a way to delete it or i have to restore it bad news is, is that when i try to restore my iphone it says win 29 or somethin like that. But ya go with Absente for a jailbreak only and ONLY if you have ios 5.1.1.

  12. Todd says:

    I jailbroke my iphone 4 with redsn0w and all went well, except that the Cydia icon did not appear. After the jailbreaking, I went back to the ‘just boot’ option, re-entering DFU mode (got the pineapple on iphone screen) and this did not bring the icon up. I don’t seem to have Cydia and not sure what to do about it.

    After jailbreak with Redsnow, the dreaded USB and iTunes logo show up. Sweat, sweat! Then the Apple hard reset logo came on. A glitter of hope! Hard reset again and the home screen came on but quickly turn to Apple logo again. Lucky I found this website and did a reboot inside Redsnow Extra tab. Success! Thank You.

  39. Jimmy says:

    A lot of the time the jailbreak just doesnt work, restore the device/put it into DFU mode and then start again, that usually works for me. If it still doesnt then use a different jailbreak like absinthe

      try editing your hosts file see if its blocking connections to apple. Hosts file are located in system32/drivers/etc or etc/drivers one of those orders. If there is an apple thing delete the line. and save as same file.

      PS i edit it in notepad

      • Jen says:

        having an unmolested ipad2 running on ios5.1.1 (9B206). Followed the steps as per RedSnow, and also edited the hosts file from windows/systems32/drivers/etc, and STILL GOT THAT ANNOYING ERROR CODE 2000 appearing at “preparing” phase.

  58. ahmed says:

    ihe is stucked and cydia doesn’t work and the safari too, can anyone help my Iphone :(

    • Stebton says:

      Restore from backup and try again, that’s not normal.

    • Andy says:

      Hey Ahmed.I had the same exat problem.Don’t worry.Just RE-jailbreake your iPhone and if it works,reply on my comment.
      Peace.

    • Leslie Bibb says:

      u should have got the untethered jailbreak instead of tethered. You turned off your iPhone and when you turn it off and back on Safari, Mail, Cydia, and all the Cydia apps will be disabled. Everything else works. There are two alternatives, 1 is:you go into redsn0w and go to “extras,” click on “just boot” and the iPhone will do its thing and once its done loading all your apps will work again. But the better alternative is to get the redsn0w version that allows untethered jailbreak or your certain firmware.

  59. Mark says:

    my Phone is stuck at the plugged into itune and my phone cannot read to itunes

    • Ryan says:

      just go to “extras” in redsn0w and click on “recovery fix” once your iDevice is connected via iTunes

  60. Kardel says:
