What is it?

A cross-platform jailbreaking, unlocking, and customizing tool for iPhones and iPod touches. Customizations include boot logos, recovery logos, and ‘verbose ‘ boot. It’s a standalone program that doesn’t use iTunes (no custom IPSWs are involved).

The iPhone Dev Team has taken the beta tag off its redsn0w 0.9.2 and has a final release version available for download now.

As you can see form the quote above, this is their standalone jailbreak process with no custom firmwares involved, so it is more similar to a blackra1n type jailbreak than a Pwnage Tool effort.

Here ‘s a little detail on which devices and firmware versions are supported by this release:

What devices, platforms, and FW versions are supported?

This release supports:

All iPhones and iPod touches (still a tethered-only JB for late-model devices though)
Apple firmware 3.0 and 3.1.2
Windows and Mac OSX (x86)
It will also soon run on the PPC OSX, and Linux platforms.

If you need a carrier unlock, redsn0w will handle iPhone 2G by itself (by installing our BootNeuter utility). For the 3G and 3GS, use Cydia after you’re jailbroken to install ultrasn0w (baseband 04.26, preferred) or blacksn0w (baseband 05.11).
