On this post, we’ll show you how to jailbreak your iPhone/iPod Touch with redsn0w version 0.7.2 - This should be the same as windows on both iPhone and iPod Touch. In this case, we’re using Mac OS X. Please. we can not stress this enough, read through this post carefully before attempting anything with redsn0w.

Note: We are not responsible if your device blows up in the middle of the jailbreak process (not that it will) or if your device doesn’t turn on after using this. Use, strictly, at your own risk!

1. First is first, download redsn0w here (for Windows) or here (for Mac OS X)
2. Second, Download iPhone OS 3.0 or whatever firmware you’ll be using to jailbreak - here

Update: The iPhone Dev Team have updated Redsn0w to 0.7.2 - Download the newest version from our iPhone Downloads section:
redsn0w 0.7.2 for Mac OS X download
redsn0w 0.7.2 for Windows download

iPhone Dev Team has released an application that works similar to quickpwn and provides similar functionality. Redsn0w is an easy to use, multi-platform, multi-device jailbreaking and unlocking (iPhone 2G only) tool for the iPhone 2G (original iPhone), the iPhone 3G (but not the 3GS) and also the iPod touch (first and second generation). Luckily for Windows users, who couldn’t use PwnageTool, Redsn0w is available for both Windows and Mac OS X users. However, iPhone Dev Team notes that there are some issues using redsn0w with OS X PPC and they suggest you use an Intel Mac till these issues are resolved.

1. 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.
2. 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).
3. Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.
4. Read items 1, 2 and 3 again and again.
5. This app is suitable for the recent 3.0 release
6. redsn0w will NOT work for the iPhone 3GS.
7. redsn0w WILL work for Original iPhone (1st Generation), Original iPod touch, iPod touch 2G and the iPhone 3G (not the iPhone 3GS).

Redsn0w is easy to use, simply upgrade the device in iTunes to firmware version 3.0 and run redsn0w to activate and jailbreak the device (and if you are using an original iPhone 2G, it will unlock it too!)

Redsn0w download:
redsn0w for windows download
redsn0w for Mac OS X download

*Note*: there are some issues using redsn0w with OS X PPC, please use an Intel Mac while the iPhone Dev Team fixes these issues

WinPwn have updated the newly released WinPwn 2.5 Beta with some bug fixes in Beta 2.

Bug Fixes:

• Crash when building ipsw
• Quickpwn crash bug fix

If you already have WinPwn 2.5 installed on your PC you can upgrade using the new ‘Check for updates’ feature.

We have updated it here in our iPhone Downloads section under ‘iPhone Utilities’ :: ‘Windows’ or just follow this direct link Download WinPwn 2.5

Mac users don’t feel left out by the release of WinPwn 2.5 Beta. The iPhone Dev Team has released the brand new QuickPwn 1.0 for Mac OSX. Unlock and Jailbreak 1rst generation iPhone 2G/EDGE 2.0.2 & Jailbreak iPhone 3G 2.0.2 in Apple Mac OS X. Unlike it’s cousin QuickPwn RC3 for Windows, this Mac version of QuickPwn only works with iPhone 2.0.2

QuickPwn is not a replacement for PwnageTool, they are different tools and provide different features, QuickPwn is for quickly pwning a device, whereas PwnageTool is designed to custom build and tailor the ipsw production process, both tools will be actively developed in the future.

To use QuickPwn 1.0 Mac OS X your device should be running 2.0.2, if it isn’t then you can upgrade it to 2.0.2 using iTunes and then use the QuickPwn tool, we repeat, it’ll only work on version 2.0.2 of the iPhone or iPod touch firmware.

If you don’t want specific things to happen such as baseband updates then PwnageTool should be used to create a custom .ipsw with your specifics.
