Sn0wbreeze 2.8 Beta 8 To Jailbreak iOS 5 GM For iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch Released

Sn0wbreeze 2.8 Beta 8 To Jailbreak iOS 5 GM For iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch Released

iH8sn0w has also released Sn0wbreeze 2.8 beta 8 to jailbreak iOS 5 Golden Master for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch that was seeded to developers of iOS developer program.

Since the Golden Master version is the shipping version of the software, it means that just like Redsn0w 0.9.9b3 that has just been released by iPhone Dev team, Sn0wbreeze 2.8 beta 8 should also be able to jailbreak iOS 5 when it is publicly available on October 12th.

Sn0wbreeze is considered the unofficial PwnageTool for Windows. It allows users to create custom iOS 5 GM firmware file that is pre-jailbroken, which can be used to upgrade their iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch to iOS 5 GM. In case of iPhone, it also preserves the baseband from getting upgraded so that it can be unlocked using Ultrasn0w.

According to the release notes, Sn0wbreeze 2.8 beta 7 includes the following features:

INSTANT IPSW detection (seriously!).Now jailbreaks iOS 5 Gold Master (9A334).UDID Developer check removal is no longer needed.Still has the ability to hacktivate. Still preserves the baseband (as always!). Sn0wbreeze 2.8 beta 8 supports the following iOS 5 devices:iPod touch 3GiPod touch 4GiPad 1iPhone 3GSiPhone 4 (GSM)iPhone 4 (CDMA)Sn0wbreeze 2.8 beta 8 cannot jailbreak iPad 2, so it is very unlikely it can jailbreak iPhone 4S that was unveiled at yesterday's Let's Talk iPhone event. It however supports an untethered jailbreak for iPhone 3GS (old bootrom) and a tethered jailbreak for the remaining iOS 5 devices mentioned above, which means that you need to connect your iOS device to the computer on every reboot.

You can download Sn0wbreeze 2.8 beta 8 for Windows using this link.

As always, let us know how it goes.

Redsn0w 0.9.9b3 to Jailbreak iOS 5 GM For iPhone, iPad And iPod Touch Released [Updated]

Even though Apple released iOS 5 Golden Master more than a month after the last beta release, the good news is that it is possible to jailbreak it.

iPhone Dev Team has released Redsn0w 0.9.9b3 for iOS 5 Golden Master to jailbreak iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. 

The Golden Master version is the shipping version of the software, so it means that it should also be able to jailbreak iOS 5 when it is publicly available on October 12th.

Few weeks back iPhone Dev team had released a new version of Redsn0w - v0.9.9 with a number of new features and improvements. The new version no longer need the full version of the firmware file. The latest version of Redsn0w will automatically download the files required for the jailbreak directly from Apple's servers.

Dev team has provided the following information on their blog about the latest update:

redsn0w has been updated to 0.9.9b3 to auto-detect iOS5 GM firmware.  Remember:  it’s still tethered for all devices except for iPhone 3GS with old bootrom.  If you don’t use redsn0w to “Just boot” at power up, all jailbreak apps  (and even some native ones like MobileSafari) will fail to launch.

If you already jailbroke the GM by pointing an older redsn0w at the beta7 IPSW, there’s no need to re-run the full jailbreak step again…just use this newer one to make the tethered boot easier :)

Redsn0w 0.9.9b3 supports the following iOS 5 devices:

iPod touch 3GiPod touch 4GiPad 1iPhone 3GSiPhone 4 (GSM)Redsn0w 0.9.9b3 supports only a tethered jailbreak, except for iPhone 3GS with old bootrom which is untetherd. With a tethered jailbreak you need to connect your iOS device to the computer on every reboot. It still doesn't support iPad 2, so it is unlikely to support iPhone 4S that was unveiled at Let's Talk iPhone event.

You can download Redsn0w 0.9.9b3 for Windows using this link and Mac using this link.

Update:

Dev team has just released a new version of Redsn0w - Redsn0w 0.9.9b3a for Windows users to fix a caching bug. They explain:

Update #11a:  We’ve replaced the Windows version of 0.9.9b3 with 0.9.9b3a.  The new version fixes a caching bug that affected only Windows users — point it one more time at your iOS5GM IPSW, and from then on you won’t have to point at it again.

As a special bonus to Windows users, we’ve made it so that if you make a copy of redsn0w.exe and name it something like “justboot.exe” (anything with the word “boot” in it), it will start up in “Just Boot tethered” mode.  That way you don’t have to click on any buttons at all to boot tethered! :)

We've updated the download link accordingly.
