Want to Jailbreak your iOS 6+/7+ versions, then download Redsn0w on Windows or Mac which is the one of the most popular Jailbreak tool developed by iPhone Dev team.
Actually, Redsn0w originally called as QuickPWN, later it is renamed as Redsn0w, which is top working tool for the Jailbreaking purpose. There is one more tool PwnageTool available on the for Jailbreaking purpose, but it is only works on windows systems, unlike PwnageTool, Redsn0w works on both Mac and Windows operating systems.
- Note: Actually, recently released iDevicecs have very restrictions on Jailbreaking, so Redsn0w Jailbreaking tool only works on below 4S. The devices which are above 4S follow this article on How to Jailbreak iPhone/iPad Without Mac/PC.
When comes to Compatibility Redsn0w jailbreaks iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad 1, iPad 2, and iPod Touch models. Redsnow can jailbreak any iOS firmware, up to iOS 6.1.3. But it can do tethered jailbreak on some specific iOS devices. Types of Jailbreaks which you can do with the Redsn0w Jailbreak tool is two types, those are Untethered Jailbreak and Tethered Jailbreak. Ok, I will explain more info below about those 2 Jailbreaks.
Untethered vs Tethered Jailbreak:
Untethered Jailbreak is a type of Jailbreak which allows you to boot your iDevice without the need of any special tools. I think all functions of your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch works properly without any hassles. More over you can download and install third-party apps from Cydia and also you have an access to do more customization’s to your iDevices like changing theme, icons and you can get access to the root folders.
- Tip: If you want to mange your files then Download iFile For iOS 11+/10+/9+/8+/7+
Tethered Jailbreak allows you to bypass Apple logo which means when your going to restart your iDevice you have to connect it to PC and you have to click on “Just Boot” option present in Redsn0w to bypass Apple logo. I think sometimes it cannot which leads to restarting normally where you can’t even use Safari, Cydia and other apps until you bypass the Apple logo successfully to Tethered Jailbreak.
Important Functions in Redsn0w Tool:
As all of you the main and important function of the Redsn0w tool is to Jailbreak the iDevice and help us to download Cydia to install third-party apps for free. but after installing this Jailbreak tool you can also see the functions like
- 1) Jailbreak
- 2) Extras
Jailbreak: If your main motto is Jailbreaking then simply connect your iDevice and simply tap on “Jailbreak” option. If you are not understanding what I am saying, don’t bother I will give you full guide to Jailbreak your iDevice.
Extras:
There are different types of functions are available on Extras section, so you can also perform different functions on your iDevices like
- Just Boot
- Pwned DFU
- Recovery Fix
- SHSH blobs
- Select IPSW
- Custom IPSW
- Even More
Features of Extras Function in Redsn0w:
Just Boot: As I already mentioned about Just Boot option earlier which is useful in Tethered Jailbreak in Redsn0w to bypass the Apple logo and bring the Safari, Cydia and other third-party apps in working condition.
Pwned DFU: As per my experience DFU mode is mainly required by Redsn0w to perform most of it’s functions after Jailbreaking your iDevice. DFU mode and Pwned DFU mode are far different to each other. Pwned DFU mode is mainly required to restore the custom firmware on your iPhone. The main motto of Pwned DFU mode is to remove the errors which comes under the normal DFU mode custom restore process on iPhone. So finally, I conclude one thing that is if you install any custom-cooked firmware on your iDevice, then use this Pwned DFU mode to custom firmware on your iDevice.
Recovery Fix: Some devices may stuck in recovery loop after installing the firmware, in that type of situations use this Recovery Fix option to get relief from the problem.
SHSH Blobs: If you are not interested in the present iOS version and you want to revert back to previous version, then this SHSH Blobs option will help you. Actually, Apple will not allow you to install the previous iOS version after upgrading to new version. But Redsn0w allows you to get access to the SHSH Blobs of iOS Firmware which are required to restore iOS on iDevice. Actually, Apple provides only latest SHSH Blobs only, in that cases Redsn0w helps to restore the previous SHSH Blobs on your iOS Firmware.
Select IPSW: Redsn0w tool always need some files from Installed iOS version, sometimes it needs files from the previous iOS version also. Actually, Redsn0w automatically extracts the latest version of iOS firmware files from the Apple serves. But if you want to revert back to your old iOS version of if you want to downgrade your iOS version fro the new iOS version, then you have to select IPSW files manually, which should present on your computer.
- Suggestion: It is better to copy the IPSW files on your computer.
Custom IPSW: This option allows you to preserve the baseband while cooking a custom firmware. It is very important step for all those users who use Ultrasn0w to unlock their device. Ultrasn0w unlockers should always use this option before installing the any firmware on their devices.
Even More: The name itself describes you can also have some more options to customize your iDevices and you can personalize the iOS by changing logo.
