Redsn0w 0.9.10b3

@pod2g has created a terrific gift for iOS fans — an untethered 5.0.1 jailbreak for non-A5 devices! 

Many of you have already been following @pod2g’s blog where he’s been keeping everyone up to date on his progress.  And so you know that he recently decided to push the button on a release for all devices except the new iPhone4S and iPad2.  @pod2g’s untether involves two separate exploits and a few other “tricks” — and since he’s taken the @comex approach of doing nearly everything himself, you know his plate has been full these past few months!

A few days ago, @pod2g gave the untether to both the iPhone devteam and the chronic devteam.  We’ve put it into redsn0w 0.9.10 and PwnageTool, and the chronic devteam put it into a Cydia package (the same set of exploits is in all three).

Here are the basic steps for how to get it:

The untether is for iOS 5.0.1 on iPhone3GS, iPhone4, iPhone4-CDMA, iPad1, iPod touch 3G, iPod touch 4G
If you have one of those devices and are not on 5.0.1 yet, update now!  The SHSH window is still open for 5.0.1  If you unlock via ultrasn0w or gevey, make sure you only get to 5.0.1 via a custom IPSW!  See the guides at places like iClarified.com if you don’t know how.  Once you’re at 5.0.1, use the latest redsn0w 0.9.10 to both jailbreak and untether.
If you’re already at 5.0.1 with a tethered jailbreak, you have two choices: either run redsn0w 0.9.10 over your current jailbreak (deselect “Install Cydia” if you do that), or install the Cydia package prepared by the chronic devteam.  The patches are the same regardless of which you choose.
Some of you are using a hybrid 5.0/5.0.1 configuration.  If so, do not attempt to install this untether over that setup!  You will most likely get into a reboot cycle.  Do a sync and fresh restore to 5.0.1 then install the jailbreak + untether.
As mentioned earlier, @pod2g has spent months working on all the exploits and tricks in this untether, and many of you may be wondering how you can send donations.  Although the iPhone devteam itself doesn’t take donations, we thought it was appropriate to provide a link at the end of the redsn0w run for you to more easily donate directly to @pod2g if you wish (alternatively, you can go right here).  There’s a link in the Cydia package for donating to the chronic devteam for the Cydia version of @pod2g’s untether.

@pod2g is now looking for a way to extend this to A5 devices.  Because those devices cannot use geohot’s limera1n exploit to inject the untether, they require exploits above and beyond those used for this release.  Keep following pod2g on twitter or his blog for any progress reports!

Update #2: The b2 version of redsn0w includes the launchctl-related fix by @planetbeing as mentioned by @saurik here and here.  As usual, you can just re-run redsn0w in jailbreak mode over your existing 5.0.1 jailbreak (even a PwnageTool one), making sure to de-select “Install Cydia” if you do.  Always be sure to do a controlled “slide to power off” shutdown of your device before running redsn0w.
Update #3: The b3 version of redsn0w fixes a problem where re-running redsn0w over an existing jailbreak would cause MobileSubstrate-based apps to stop running until MS was installed again.  Now you can re-run the redsn0w jailbreak step without worrying about that (but still remember to de-select the “Install Cydia” option if it’s already installed).
TIP: If auto-detection fails and redsn0w tells you no identifying data was found, you can always pre-select the appropriate 5.0.1 IPSW using “Extras->Select IPSW”.
Here are the redsn0w download links:
redsn0w 0.9.10b3 for OS X
redsn0w 0.9.10b3 for Windows (be sure to run in Administrator mode)

Iphone-dev Team Releases Redsn0w0.9.10b1 5.0.1 untethered Supported(A4 chip ONLY)



Untethered holidays

@pod2g has created a terrific gift for iOS fans — an untethered 5.0.1 jailbreak for non-A5 devices!

How To Jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 Untethered

As reported few minutes ago, the much-waited untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 has been released based on pod2g’s discovered exploit. Since the links for Redsn0w and GreenPois0n jailbreak tools are not ready yet, there’s an alternate method to do the untethered jailbreak. You can currently use a new jailbreak tool available in Cydia named “Corona” to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 untethered. Below we’ll show you how.

How To Jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 Untethered
P0sixninja, the brain member of the Chronic Dev Team, developed a Cydia tweak called “Corona” and uploaded it Cydia for users who already have a tethered jailbreak on iOS 5 or iOS 5.0.1.
You’ll need to do a tethered jailbreak first using previous redsn0w version. You can follow our guide posted here to do a tethered jailbreak on your A4 device running iOS 5.0.1 or iOS 5.

How To Jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 Untethered

STEP 1: Assuming your device is already jailbroken, head to Cydia and leave it till the update is finished.
STEP 2: Once updated, search for “Corona 5.0.1 Untether” under BigBoss repository and you’ll be able to download it for free by hitting the “Install” button on the top right of screen.

SuperOneClick,xRecovery 0.1,astro filemanager,root explorer

Note: There are 3 versions of xRecovery (xRecovery v0.1 for Xperia X8, xRecovery v0.2 and xRecovery v0.3 for Xperia X10) but only xRecovery v0.1 will work on the Xperia X8. These xRecovery files are developed specific to a type of android phone not upgrades/updates.



HOW IT IS DONE:

Step 1: Root your Xperia X8

- click <yes> and then <success> & <test su> message
- Reboot Xperia X8

NOTE:

If you are successful in ROOTING your phone - SuperUser app will be installed to your Xperia X8.
If you are not successful:-
(a) check your PC <devices><usb> to see if your phone is recognized by your PC (troubleshoot PC driver problem)
(b) <usb debugging> in your Xperia X8 phone settings enabled?
Then <Launch> <SuperOneClick> and try again.

[if you don't have a file manager on your phone]
Install <Astro File Manager> from Android Market


Step 2: Mount Xperia X8 (to access SD Card)
- copy <Root.Explorer.v2.16.apk> to root of SD Card
- using PC create folder <xRecovery> and unzip xRecovery0.1.rar
- put the 3 files into the xRecovery folder you've created
- copy the xRecovery folder to root of SD Card

Step 3: UnMount Xperia X8 from PC

Step 4: Launch <Astro> Install <Root Explorer v2.16.apk>

Step 5: Copy xRecovery files to </system/bin> of your phone
- Launch <Root Explorer>
- scroll down to /sdcard <click to access>
- scroll down to xRecovery folder <click to access>
- Select each of the 3 files (one by one) <click & hold><copy>

Once you have done that... you have installed xRecovery to your Xperia X8

SHUTDOWN -> Wait 5 seconds and REBOOT

When you see the words [Sony Ericsson] on the phone screen - start pressing the back button on your phone multiple times and you will enter the xRecovery Menu.

To RESTORE from a backup of your current ROM
select <backup and restore><restore> from menu & select the <file_name>

Note: If you have a backup on PC just copy it to <SD/xRecovery/backup> and restore as usual.

Download redsn0w 0.9.9 b9 for jailbreak ios5.0.1

Alright, MuscleNerd the well known hacker and developer over iPhone dev-team has released redsn0w 0.9.9 b9 to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 for Mac OS X and Windows with many new feature. Redsn0w 0.9.9b9 still a tethered jailbreak, so you will need to jailbreak your idevice every time you reboot your device. Redsnow 0.9.9 b9 is available for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS " new bootrom ", iPod touch 4G, 3G and iPad. Untethered Jailbreak is available for iPhone 3GS old bootrom. Download Redsn0w 0.9.9 b9 Links for Windows and Mac after the jump.



Redsn0w 0.9.9 b9 has brought many amazing features as Notcom's TinyCFW which allows you to downgrade from iOS 5.X to iOS 4.3.3 and no need for lots of ram to jailbreak your iDevice with Redsn0w 0.9.9 b9.


ChangeLog On Redsn0w 0.9.9 b9 :


native support for 5.0.1 (no need to point redsn0w at 5.0 IPSW or use command-line args).  Support automatically extends to all of redsn0w’s various functions: “Jailbreak”, “Just boot”, “Fetch blobs”, “Stitch blobs”, “Recovery Fix”

iBooks fixed in 5.0 and 5.0.1.  This is a targeted fix that doesn’t remove entire sandbox mechanism.  5.x users already using redsn0w “Just Boot” can just use the new version without redoing entire jailbreak again

3GS old-bootrom owners can now create custom IPSWs without blobs

ultrasn0w compatability update (i.e. same baseband requirements) for 5.0.1 will be available on Cydia Monday

support for newer 8GB iPhone4 (which until now had problems with “Fetch blobs”).  Thanks to @JKjeepnJeff for loaning us one of these newer i4 units for testing!

allows Windows users (not just OS X users) to use the “Custom” button to create IPSWs without baseband updates

accommodates APTickets in 5.x (until next Apple countermove).  APTickets are crypto-verified before submitting to Cydia, just like the main blobs.  Cydia server support for sending back the APTickets is upcoming.  For now, use stitched IPSWs for 5.x.  Due to APTickets, stitched 5.x IPSWs now require user to start in “Pwned DFU” mode

Support added for stitching 4.x blobs to iPad2-GSM IPSWs.  Similar to @notcom’s TinyCFW but doesn’t require lots of RAM or a TSS-assisted restore. Won’t work for iPad2 5.x blobs (or iPhone4S at all) until a bootrom-level exploit is out

top line now shows whether (and where) a redsn0w update is available, or if the version being run is the latest.  Uses DNS TXT record to alleviate any concerns about snooping

no 5.1 beta support at this time (major apps like Cydia are not yet compatible)

@pod2g has been doing a great job porting his 5.x untether…check his blog for updates!

Owners of newer 3GS iPhones must not flash the iPad baseband.  The iPad baseband will not work on 3GS iPhones built later than 2011 week 35.

iOS 5.0.1 Untethered Jailbreak Code Now Completed For All A4 Devices

Pod2G has just announced that he has completed the iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak code for all Apple devices running on the A4 chip. This is great news for the jailbreak community that is anxiously waiting for the untethered jailbreak for iOS 5+ firmware. Due to this latest accomplishment, the untethered jailbreak would now work on the following devices.



iPad (First Generation)
iPod Touch 4G
iPod Touch 3G
iPhone 3GS
iPhone 4
Apple TV
Pod2G made the following comments on his blog:

I just want to let you know my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) is untethered. Some progress today heh

iPad 1 5.0.1 untethered code is done, testing tomorrow with a friend’s device. Just to let you know my progress in real time.



iPhone 3GS 5.0.1 untethered code is done. Testing tomorrow also!

iPod 4G 5.0.1 untethered too ! .

Apple TV 2 4.43 untethered done also. Will be able to test in some days, thanks to @firecore that’d ship me an Apple TV 2 for testing !

Since the code has been completed for the above mentioned devices we can safely assume that Pod2G would now work on releasing his untethered jailbreak technique. However, we still have to hear whether the untethered jailbreak would work for iPhone 4S and iPad 2, because Pod2G has not made any announcement about these two devices.

iOS 5 Untethered Jailbreak Confirmed To Be Working On iOS 5.0.1

It was only a few days ago when iOS developer and hacker Pod2g showed off his new untethered jailbreak exploit running on iOS 5. At that time, he tested it on a third-gen iPod touch running iOS 5.0 and wasn’t sure if it would also work on the new iOS 5.0.1 as well. But he did promise to test it on iOS 5.0.1 and report back accordingly with results.
iOS-5.0.1-WM
Well today, after testing the exploit on his iPhone 4 running the latest iOS 5.0.1 firmware, he has confirmed via his Twitter account that it is indeed working which ultimately means that you are all now free to update your A4-based iOS devices to iOS 5.0.1. iPhone unlockers who rely on Ultrasn0w are still advised against upgrading to preserve the old baseband.
Jailbreak 5.0.1
Pod2g: Got an untethered iPhone 4 running iOS 5.0.1. Feel free to update.
This is indeed good news for those who accidently updated to iOS 5.0.1, only to have found themselves being locked out on the new firmware, with having no real way to downgrade back to iOS 5.0.
It is important to note here that so far, the exploit has only been confirmed to be working on A4-based devices, and below, like iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 4G (and 3G), Apple TV, and the first-generation iPad. There has been no confirmation of it being working on A5 based devices like the new iPhone 4S and the iPad 2 yet.
