Download: redsn0w (Mac / Windows) iPhone 2G / 3G, iTouch jailbreak / unlock hack for firmware v3.0

June 20, 2009 by dennis  

 



Lo and behold: after releasing Pwnage tool v3.0, the iPhone Dev Team have released a jailbreak / unlock hack for iPhone/iTouch firmware v3.0!

Called redsn0w by its creators, this free program will allow you to jailbreak and unlock the Apple iPhone 2G (original iPhone), the Apple iPhone 3G, and the iPod Touch (both first and second generation). It provides the same functionality that the older unlock hack QuickPwn did, but with support for firmware v3.0

Please note that this version of redsn0w (v0.7 for Mac and v0.71 for Windows) does not unlock the new iPhone 3GS, so don’t even try to use it if you have one!

Please also note that if you’ve already used yellowsn0w to unlock the iPhone 3G this program will not work for you at this stage (explanation on why it won’t work is below).

redsn0w iphone unlock hack

redsn0w is available for both Windows and Mac powered computers, but there’s some issues with Mac PPC support for now, so technically it only works with Intel Macs if you’ve got an Apple computer (that should be fixed in later versions of the program).

NOTE: please read important release notes below before downloading and running this program.

Direct Downloads:
redsn0w (Windows) v0.71
redsn0w (Mac) v0.7
UPDATE: a newer version of redsn0w is now available. Download redsn0w v0.72 (Windows / Mac) here.

IMPORTANT: OFFICIAL RELEASE NOTES

1. GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a 3G iPhone with yellowsn0w and rely on yellowsn0w to obtain cellular service, then you should NOT use redsn0w right now. Ultrasn0w (the 3G carrier unlock) is not included with this release and therefore your baseband will be locked and unable to use an operator other than the official one it was bought for. UltraSn0w will be released via APT (cydia and icy) soon. If you have an original iPhone (1st generation) then 3.0 carrier unlock works with this redsn0w release.
2. Yellowsn0w in its current form will NOT work with the baseband version that is present in the 3.0 update, you will need Ultrasn0w, which will be released sometime soon, Ultrasn0w will work with all iPhone 3G models (but not 3GS), even ones that were previously unlockable, Ultrasn0w (when available) will be released via APT (this means you will be able to get it via Cydia or Icy).
3. Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.
4. Read items 1, 2 and 3 again and again.
5. At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the latest version of redsn0w.
6. This app is suitable for the recent 3.0 release
7. redsn0w will NOT work for the iPhone 3GS.
8. redsn0w WILL work for Original iPhone (1st Generation), Original iPod touch, iPod touch 2G and the iPhone 3G (not the iPhone 3GS).

To use redsn0w simply upgrade the device in iTunes to firmware version 3.0 and run redsn0w to activate and jailbreak the device (and if you are using an original iPhone 2G, it will unlock it too!)

  • Creeptonic

    Folks, Unlock feature is *not* possible with Redsn0w, we will have to wait till Ultrasn0w is released.

  • CDS

    If you forgot to restore your iPhone before updating an unlocked iPhone, is it possible to restore/unlock it? My iPhone currently has a picture of iTunes and a USB on the screen. Itunes does not recognize the iPhone when it is plugged in I get the following error in iTunes “iTunes Error – iTunes cannot activate your iPhone because the SIM card is not inserted or a SIM PIN is required. Disconnect your iPhone, make sure the SIM card is inserted correctly and, if you use a SIM PIN, tap Unlock to enter it, and then reconnect your iPhone.” I have tried inserting a SIM Card from my other iPhone but it is not working. Any advice regarding how to proceed?

    I did everything mentioned.

    Used redsn0w. I have cydia installed but no carrier service or internet.

    What do I do now ? I am unable to use the phone

  • iphonew

    Install ultrasn0w – http://www.iphoneworld.ca/news/2009/07/20/ultra... to unlock it now.

  • goody317

    Thank you for that. I must sound so stupid but I need to Run Cydia in Hacker mode and Add the repo repo666.ultrasn0w.com — even if I don´t have internet or wifi ?

    I tried opening Cydia before and I click search and it just goes back to my springboard.

    Thanks for all the help I appreciated.

  • iphonew

    You download both… the links are included in the article.

  • iphonew

    “even if I don´t have internet or wifi”

    You *must* have WiFi to download ultrasn0w.. without internet you can't download something off the internet:)

  • iphonew

    First you need to upgrade
    then run redsn0w to jailbreak
    then run Cydia to install ultrasn0w
    then run ultrasn0w to unlock

    that's all:)

    hi, i have a iphone 3g and it is jailbreaked throgh redsn0w. but now i want to jailbreak my ipod touch 2g. how do i do it help

  • iphonew

    Well, you will need to get a firmware for iTouch 3.0 (through Apple or elsewhere) and then again use redsn0w… It can jailbreak iPod Touch no problem:)

  • Name

    I found the solution for that.

    People without network or wifi can download ultrasn0w to their computer while the iPhone is connected via USB.

    Execute the program and viola – you have an unlocked phone within seconds.

    Thanks for your help.

  • Eli

    I'm trying to jailbreak my ipod touch 2nd generation, I have redsn0w 0.7.2 for Macs and the 3.0 firmware, HOWEVER, every time I follow the steps, the downloading always stops right at “Waiting to reboot.” I'm pretty sure I have the right firmware (7A341) and I've tried both redsn0w 0.7.2 and redsn0w 0.8. Any suggestions?

  • andylofgren

    Hello, please clarifiy, will an iPhone unlocked using Red Snow or Ultra Snow become locked as a result of performing a master reset? Thank you.

  • ksuder

    I used the program to jailbreak and unlock my first generation iPhone. Now my mac will not recognize my phone. I cannot update any programs on it, sync with iTunes or sync with iPhoto. I welcome your advice.
