Dev-Team has released RedSn0w 0.9.9b6, 09.9b7 0.9.9b8 for Windows and Mac to jailbreak iOS 5 firmware. Previous RedSn0w release was Mac only. You can download RedSnow 0.9.9b8 to jailbreak iOS 5, 5.0.1 from the links below…
RedSn0w 0.9.9b6 not only jailbreaks iOS 5, it also lets you preserve iPhone4/3GS baseband for UltraSn0w or Gevey SIM unlocking. You can also flash iPhone 3GS with Baseband 06.15.00, the iPad baseband.
Here’s what’s new in this RedSn0w release:
“We’ve released version 0.9.9b6 of redsn0w, with both a functional fix and cosmetic fix for iOS5 jailbreakers. For iPhone3GS owners with the 06.15 baseband, this redsn0w eliminates the network crash you saw when using Location Services in iOS5 (in fact, you don’t even need to disable Location Services anymore during the initial setup). The cosmetic fix is to the visual countdown you see when going into DFU mode. It’s okay to re-run this redsn0w over an existing device jailbroken at iOS5. Just choose “Jailbreak” again and de-select Cydia (in other words, all the checkboxes will be unchecked). If you are lucky enough to have an old-bootrom iPhone3GS, please pre-select the IPSW first (redsn0w can’t yet auto-detect the FW version of your old-bootrom 3GS if it’s already been jailbroken).”
Update 2 (RedSn0w 0.9.9b8): redsn0w version 0.9.9b8 will natively recognize the 5.0.1 beta that Apple let developers start testing this week (so you don’t have to play the “point at 5.0 IPSW” trick). Because the IPSW isn’t public, you’ll still need to provide it once to redsn0w (at which point it will cache all the important pieces so you don’t need to select it again). For those 3GS and i4 users who preserve their baseband, the Mac version can also produce the NO_BB_* custom IPSWs for 5.0.1. (But please note that ultrasn0w doesn’t get updated for betas like this.)
Update 1 (RedSn0w 0.9.9b7): After some feedback on reddit, we’ve decided to make the initial jailbreak as quick as possible by no longer “stashing” the applications by default during the redsn0w run. This reduces the time to actually perform the jailbreak from 210 seconds to 80 seconds (60 percent!). However, you make up for much of that the first time you launch Cydia, which will then want to stash the applications. You can choose whether you want redsn0w or Cydia to stash in the Preferences pane.

To unlock my iphone 4 with Gevey, I had to create a custom ipsw… How do I jailbreak my iphone, since I have to install a new ipsw to jailbreak it?
Redsn0w 0.9.9b6 Custom IPSW still not working on windows;
this jailbreak is for 3gs having old bootroom or new bootroom as well? and 2nd is it is untethered or tethered jailbreak plz help
when i click custom ispw it says this function is not for windows plz help
same here i think its not fully ready for windows yet.. 🙁
Tried both this and the previous redsnow, but still getting no service when Ultrasn0w is installed on a 3GS with baseband 06.15.
Already tried restoring ios5 again with location service off and that didn’t make any difference.
When i restored the phone it actually gets stuck at the activation stage and won’t let me proceed. I had to jailbreak it to get to the next step, however despite doing the whole thing over again it’s made no difference.
Any idea’s how i can get it to recognise the sim again?
you have to reflash your baseband again to get the service work and unlock.
Do it again, use the redsnow and choose install the ipad baseband.
Then install ultrasn0w through the “http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com/” source and REBOOT…that should do it
Why is my first comment “Your comment is awaiting moderation.”? I really just stated it was tethered, and indicated I didn’t like it 😛
Worked tethered on my iphone 4 nonS though after a few tries for Cydia.
Is there a jailbreak available for IPAD2?
Worked fine on my 3Gs old bootrom its untethered.
same to me but i guess if u rejailbreak it again it will come off so if anythin just wait till the real unthethered lol
Please post why my previous posts are removed?
I really just said that it is a “Tethered” jailbreak. Why does that warrent a removal?
Redsnow says that custom ipsw is not available on windows in this version 🙁 whats the point
Can’t install my previous apps. please help
why it still doesnt have custom ipsw support for windows ?
ultrasnow fails to work after this restore
sorry it fails after the jailbreak

Is anyone else having an issue with Cydia not opening? The icon shows up as a white icon, with the reflection curve, but does not open. Fix?
Now the Cydia icon appears normal, but still won’t open. When I click it it zooms in (as if its going to open) for less than a second, then doesn’t, and remains at the home screen. Has anyone had this problem, or know a fix?
Thanks.

You need to turn off the phone and choose booth tethered on redsnow..
I’ve got an old bootrom 3GS on BB 6.15.00. I am updated to iOS5, untethered, unlocked and my GPS location services work. All thanks to the Dev team and jailbreak community. Here’s how I had to do it.
Redsn0w 0.9.9b6 for Mac
Created custom firmware
Updated through newest iTunes with NO_BB firmware created
Re-run redsn0w with only deactivate checked
Re-run redsn0w with nothing checked
Install ultrasn0w as usual
Fully functional 3GS on iOS5. No noticeable lag in performance like when the 3G went to iOS4.
im having a problem.. i have a old bootrom iphone 3gs. i did the update to ios 5 from 4.2.1 …. i did the jailbrek, al went right until i started to use the phone… Now the phone restarts itself every 3 minutes… when i plug it into the computer to charge it doesn’t charge, wneh i plug it with the original charger doesn’t charge either… it doesn’t says that “this accesory is not blablabla” it just doesn’t charge….
P.D.: I’ve changed the battery and the usb jack of my phone because the battery was dead and the ringer didn’t work anymore. has someone else had this problem?
I seem to be having an issue despite following the instructions to the letter. I think part of the problem is that I am unsure when I should be restoring from my backup on itunes. Do I restore from back-up after restoring to iOS 5 or do I do it after the redsnow jailbreak?
I tried doing it after the restore iOS 5 but it told me that the backup session had failed, so I tried it after jailbreaking during the iphone set up process and I went to bed while it was restoring from backup and when I got up this morning, itunes was done, and there were no error messages on the screen yet the phone still had the Connect to iTunes screen up.
When i jailbreak with redsn0w 0.9.9b7
a message pop up in redsn0w saying
“Couldn’t download required ipsw.
Please check your internet connection.
If your internet is working you may need an updated version of redsn0w.
Error with SHSH blobs!”
my Iphone 4 cannot use iBooks after jailbreak
is it bug?
I attempted to jailbreak my iPhone 4 that does have ios 5 with redsnow 0.9.9b8. I also have the latest version of iTunes. I did get the ipsw and put it in the correct box and it recognized the software. I first did the jailbreak with installing cydia. The process went without any problems however Cydia is not on my phone. I went back and did the just boot for the thethered version and it went fine. I had no problems, however th Cydia icon still isn’t on my phone.. I’m not sure what I am doing wrong?
