Jailbreak iOS5 with redsn0w!

This guide is for the tethered jailbreak using redsn0w 0.9.9b6.

The untethered is currently not available yet. As soon as it does become available, I will update this post!

Now you might be wondering... What is a tethered and untethered jailbreak!!!?? Well basically a tethered jailbreak is when you have to connect to a computer every time you want to reboot your phone. Otherwise it will not run properly. An untethered jailbreak is the opposite. It only has to be done once and you can reboot as many times as you want without having to connect to a computer!

With that said! Lets begin.

Step 1: (Skip if you already have iOS5 on device)

Install iOS5 on your device. If you currently have a jailbreak you will have to restore your phone. If you don't then you can choose either option. Upgrade or Restore.

1. Open iTunes
2. Plug-in phone
3. Click on your device in iTunes and choose restore or upgrade

Step 2:

Download redsn0w 0.9.9b6! 

• Click Here For Mac
• Click Here for Windows

Step 3:

1. Open redsn0w
2. Plug in iDevice
3. Power off iDevice (MAKE SURE YOU PLUG IN FIRST!)
4. Press Jailbreak on redsn0w
5. Press Next on redsn0w
6. Follow on-screen directions to make your device enter DFU mode
7. Jailbreak will complete

Step 4:

After the iDevice starts for the first time, you will have to:

1. Leave it connected to the computer
2. Turn device off
3. Close redsn0w
4. Reopen redsn0w
5. Click on Extras
6. Click on Just Boot
7. Click on Next
8. Follow onscreen instructions to enter device into DFU mode.
9. Phone will start and is now JAILBROKEN!

You will have to do Step 4 every time you reboot your phone.

Enjoy!

Enter DFU mode without using your power button.

Is your power button broken? Do you need to get into DFU mode without using your power button?


Check out the NEW METHOD below!


Here is how to do it:


1.) Download this.


2.) Extract the ZIP file. 


3.) Create new folder in your C: drive, and name it DFU. Extract the zip file to the location: c:\DFU


4.) Connect your iPhone but close iTunes when it launches after you connect your Apple device.


5.) Launch the program downloaded 


Windows XP or later users:


goto start > run


type this: c:/dfu/dfu iBSS.m68ap.RELEASE.dfu


Windows Vista/ Windows 7 Users:


goto start and type "run" in the search box without quotes.


type this into the dialoge box: c:/dfu/dfu iBSS.m68ap.RELEASE.dfu


This should enter your iPhone into DFU mode! Easy right?




NEW METHOD (Try at your own risk!)


Here is what you need:

1. Original iPhone Firmware for your iPhone. ( download from : Here) Using the current firmware your phone is on would be wise.
2. A unarchiver or something of the sort. ( WINDOWS: WinZip, MAC: The Unarchiver )

Here is how to do it:

1. First make a copy of the Apple Firmware you downloaded.
2. Change the file extension of the file to ".zip" (without quotes)
3. Unarchive the folder.
4. Go to Firmware > all_flash
5. You will see 2 folders. (all_flash.m68ap.production and all_flash.n82ap.production)
6. In these folders you will have somewhat similar files.
7. Delete "LLB.m ** ap.RELEASE.img3" in both the folders.
8. Rename the "applelogo.xxx.img3" files to "LLB.m ** ap.RELEASE.img3" (replace the ** with the correct numbers. They are different for each folder.)
9. Now save everything and zip it back up. Rename the .zip back to .ipsw
10. Connect you iPhone or iDevice and go to itunes and (Mac: Hold option and click restore, Windows: Hold Shift and click restore) and choose the .ipsw you just modified.
11. As soon as iTunes is done restoring the firmware your iPhone or device will boot directly into DFU mode. 
12. Now all you have to do is restore with a jailbroken ipsw file! (Use Pwnagetool to create a custom ipsw bundle)

Thats it! I hope that works for you guys!
