Thank You Dev Team for the awesome work. I just had one question.. Is there a way to make a backup of other iDevices in iTunes before the jailbreak that are usually not synced to my own system? Basically I’m trying to Jailbreak friends iDevices for them, without loosing all the apps/contacts/settings.
i get this error:
AppName: redsn0w.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: ntdll.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.5755 Offset: 00010a19
redsn0w crashed. while “downloading jailbreak Data…”

I keep getting dam error and cant update to 4.3.1, why!?
Sry if my speling is bad.
Hi

Pls help
hi
cydia is not runnin properly after JB
any 1 know y?
I’m having the same problem. There is white rounded app square with Cydia underneath it, but it fails to launch. I have a week 25 iPhone 3GS.
After downloading the 4.3.1 ispw file it shows up zipped.. I cannot get redsnow to recognize it. What do i DO?
use Firefox or chrome browser to download it.
rename the file change from .zip to ipsw
if you do not see the zip extension at the end.
in the file folder, click on “Tools” – “Folder Options” – “View”
in there unselect “Hide extensions for known file type”
click OK
simply rename it to .ipsw
Ich habe ein 3G mit BB 6.15 kann ich die 4.3.1 drauf spielen oder geht das nicht ?? Danke schon mal im vorraus 🙂
Successfully jailbroken my Ipad. However, my cellular networks got “Restricted”! I couldn’t gain access to the internet. Please advise asap! Thanks.

So if i use the custom firmware, can i use ultrasn0w to unlock it?
When my iPod 4G began to download the jailbreak data, redsnow crashed on my computer, and my iPods been stuck on that same screen for 10 minutes now. Is that normal?
tnx so much!
cheerz!
Guys, i’m a newbie on iphone.
I got my iOS 4.3.1 updated through iTune already on my iPhone 4. should I still follow “step 4” or just directly click on “next”??
you can’t hit next without providing IPSW
So if i update to 4.3.1 using custom firmware from pwnagetool, will ultrasn0w work? I’m on the ipad baseband.
I already Jailbroken my iPod, my question is, since this is an untethered JB, what will I do when I accidentally turn off my ipod? DO i just run the REdSn0w app? Thanks !

I tried to jailbreak my iPhone with iPad baseband, but everytime i finish the restore process, i get error 1015 undet iTunes. I tried to use iBooty to reboot my devices but with no luck (black screen is all what i get).
I have iphone 4 factory unlocked on firmware 4.3.4, trying to downgrade it to 4.3.3,but i am facing 1013 error.To remove that error i edit host file and change the server address but still its not working, what i am making mistake tell me.
Hi Guys,
I have a iphone 4 (4.3.5) jail-broken with RedSn0w but every time I turn off the phone, I have to connect it to my computer in order to turn it on. (Boot untethered). If I do a restore, it says Connect to iTunes and can make emergency calls only. Is it possible to restore the original firmware and just activate the phone without original or phonebook sim card. What I’m looking for is a jailbreak solution that doesn’t make me connect my iPhone to the computer every time I restart it or turn it off. Any ideas??
hey i open the redsnow i put ios 4.3.1 for iphone 3gs the make an erros and the redsnow close can you anser me please
thnx
