The iPhone Dev Team have been teasing an untethered jailbreak for the newest iDevices on iOS 4.2.1, for a while now. The rumour was that Christmas weekend would be the release date. Well, they came really close, and released a beta of Redsn0w to beta tester who have a Mac, and were willing to possibly mess...

The iPhone Dev team has released the 'beta' version of redsn0w, their untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G, and iPad. This is beta, so use at your own risk and only with iOS devices you're willing to test. Known issues are Bluetooth not working, Springboard to crash via task switcher, and the...

A while back the iPhone Dev Team released the latest unlock for the iPhone 3G/3gs. This unlock had a unique workaround--use PwnageTool/redsn0w to inject the iPad's baseband (which was unlockable) into the iPhone 3G/3GS. Then, use ultrasn0w via Cydia to do the rest. Caution: iPad Baseband Causes GPS to Fail Recent usage of this unlock has...

Update 1: If you're on iOS 4.2.1, and inject the 06.15 iPad baseband, you won't be able to restore to stock firmware, or downgrade your baseband to 05.xx. Explained by the Dev Team: WARNING — YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!  PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENCES OF UPDATING TO 06.15. There is no way to...

That's a common question asked by new jailbreakers, and a challenging one to articulate by master jailbreakers. The latest version of redsn0w 0.9.6b4 will jailbreak your iOS 4.2.1 device--but depending on which device you have, your jailbreak will be either tethered or untethered. Here's the following explanation from the iPhone Dev Team: Update #2:  The...

Update 1: Download links updated with mirrors and misc. notes. Yesterday the iPhone Dev Team sent an update about "Thanksgiving with Apple". Well, in less than 24 hours they have released a jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 for OS X and Windows. From what the iPhone Dev Team wrote on their blog, the following will apply:...

The iPhone Dev Team remains hard at work. Yesterday they released an updated version of PwnageTool (Mac only) to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 GM. Today, they've updated redsn0w to 0.9.6b3 (Windows users) to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 GM, but this is primarily for developers who want to do testing. It does not install the newest version of...

Update 1 (23:43 PST): Looks like links for redsn0w for Mac and redsn0w for Windows has been released. MuscleNerd from the iPhone Dev Team has announced on twitter that an update to redsn0w is coming soon. This updated version (the current version is for the iPod touch 2G/iPhone 3G only) will allow Windows users to...

Oh sure, Mac users got this treatment more than two weeks ago. But not everyone uses a Mac right? Which is exactly why the Dev-Team has just released an updated redsn0w for Windows. Before you ask, this is for the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch (second generation) ONLY. More importantly: this update is NOT for ultrasn0w...

The iPhone Dev-Team has done it again. If you're still holding on to an iPhone 3G or 2nd generation iPod Touch running 4.1, your jailbreak tools for Mac are here. It's fairly straight forward as usual with redsn0w, get on the official 4.0 or 4.1 firmware, then use redsn0w to jailbreak. Dev-Team: "IF YOU USE...

The iPhone Dev Team are the first out of the gate, to release a jailbreak tool for iPhone OS 4.0. MuscleNerd announced, on Twitter, that they have released redsn0w 0.9.5, for Mac.

Earlier today Apple released iPhone firmware 3.1.3 and as usual, jailbreakers beware. At the same time, the iPhone Dev Team issued warnings to avoid the update if you want to have the ability to jailbreak and/or unlock your iPhone/iPod Touch. A few hours later, the iPhone Dev Team announced some fantastic news. The iPhone 2G,...
