RedsnOw Released by Dev-Team
redsn0w is an easy to use, multi-platform, multi-device jailbreaking and unlocking tool for the
- iPhone 2G (original iPhone),
- The iPhone 3G (but not the 3GS)
- iPod touch (first and second generation)
Has been released by the Dev-Team some hours back.
The RedsnOw is said to have similar functionality as the QuickPwn.
The Redsnow should be used after reading the following rules which are given by the Dev Team if you think it is possible then go for it.
- GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a 3G iPhone with yellowsn0w and rely on yellowsn0w to obtain cellular service, then you should NOT use redsn0w right now. Ultrasn0w (the 3G carrier unlock) is not included with this release and therefore your baseband will be locked and unable to use an operator other than the official one it was bought for. UltraSn0w will be released via APT (cydia and icy) soon. If you have an original iPhone (1st generation) then 3.0 carrier unlock works with this redsn0w release.
- Yellowsn0w in its current form will NOT work with the baseband version that is present in the 3.0 update, you will need Ultrasn0w, which will be released sometime soon, Ultrasn0w will work with all iPhone 3G models (but not 3GS), even ones that were previously unlockable, Ultrasn0w (when available) will be released via APT (this means you will be able to get it via Cydia or Icy).
- Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.
