Redns0w 0.9.10b3: Untethered iOS 5.0.1 Jailbreak Updated To Fix Problem With MobileSubstrate Based Jailbreak Apps [Updated]

Ever since iPhone Dev team released Redsn0w 0.9.10b2, which included a fix for the launchctl issue, a number of readers have reported that many jailbreak apps stopped running after re-running Redsn0w.

iPhone Dev team has just released a new version of Redns0w 0.9.10b3, which fixes the problem. They have provided the following information on their blog:

The b3 version of redsn0w fixes a problem where re-running redsn0w over an existing jailbreak would cause MobileSubstrate-based apps to stop running until MS was installed again.  Now you can re-run the redsn0w jailbreak step without worrying about that (but still remember to de-select the “Install Cydia” option if it’s already installed).

They also have the following tip for users who may have hit "no identifying data was found" while using Redsn0w:

TIP: If auto-detection fails and redsn0w tells you no identifying data was found, you can always pre-select the appropriate 5.0.1 IPSW using “Extras->Select IPSW”.

You can download the appropriate iOS 5.0.1 firmware file from this link and download Redsn0w 0.9.10b3 using this link for Mac and this link for Windows.

Cydia Is Now Saving SHSH Blobs For iOS 5.0.1 Firmware

What exactly are SHSH blobs and why are they required? An SHSH blob is a signature file which is verified against the Apple servers to ensure that the device is running the latest version of the firmware. The purpose of caching these signature files is to allow users to downgrade firmware, effectively restoring the device to an older version of iOS.

With the release of the iPhone 3GS; Apple decided not to just implement local protections, and instead made it so that every restore of a device would need to be individually verified by their servers. This is evident within iTunes during a restore, by looking at the top information bar you will be able to see ‘Verifying restore with Apple…’

The process consists of a simple challenge / response protocol which uploads a partial digest of the firmware file to Apple, which then decided whether or not to allow the restore. The caching of the users SHSH effectively allows this process to be bypassed, verifying the restore via Saurik’s servers instead.

An alternative to Cydia automatically performing this process is using the tool created by @ih8sn0w called iFaith which is dubbed as the first public SHSH dumper which allows users to dump the SHSH signatures of a devices current running firmware. Whilst similar in end result to methods like Cydia and TinyUmbrella, iFaith goes that step further and allows actual physical retrieval of the SHSH blobs. It is also worth noting that iFaith has no actual time constraints and can dump a devices signatures even after Apple has stop signing that firmware.

Getting back to Cydia, if indeed Cydia has started caching blobs once more, it comes at a perfect time with the impending release of the iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak. The jailbreak, set to be released imminently by the Chronic Dev Team will more than likely be followed up by a point release from Apple to iOS 5.0.2 (or 5.1) which will attempt to close the exploit used in the 5.0.1 untether.

All seems well at the present for the jailbreak community with Cydia back in action, a jailbreak coming and a multitude of tools available for us to use.

DFU mode for beginners

What is DFU mode?

Device Firmware Update (DFU) mode is a special failsafe mode which Apple has built into all of their devices so that they can restored to a stock iOS firmware regardless of the state they may be in. It is implemented at a lower level than the normal recovery mode, which shows the "connect to iTunes cable" graphic on the screen of the iPhone. DFU mode by contrast has a completely blank screen so there is no way to tell you are in DFU mode by looking at the device.

What's the difference between DFU and normal recovery mode?
When your iPhone is in normal recovery mode you will see a graphic like this...


(remember, if you see this picture you are NOT in DFU mode)

iOS 5.0.1 Jailbreak tutorial

The latest version of Redsn0w, which is 0.9.9b8, can tether jailbreaking the iOS 5.0.1. However, before proceeding, there are a few points users must be aware of.

In a recent tweet, iOS hacker @pod2g warned users saying that those still waiting for an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5, should not upgrade to iOS 5.0.1.

"Note about 5.0.1: don't update if you plan on jbking : the bug Charlie MILLER found can simplify exploits dramatically and will be closed," he tweeted.

According to reports, no method has been figured out yet to downgrade to iOS 5. Hence, if you upgrade to iOS 5.0.1, you might lose the chance of a potentially untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.

For those who already have iOS 5.0.1 running on their devices and wish to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1, here are the steps:

How to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 on an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad

Apple released iOS 5.0.1 this week and there’s already a way to jailbreak it. But there are a few things to keep in mind before you jailbreak your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad.

First, this is a tethered jailbreak, which means you’ll need to connect your device to a computer and run the software again anytime you need to reboot.

Second, you might not want to update to iOS 5.0.1 at all if you’re holding out hope for anuntethered jailbreak. An exploit was discovered in iOS 5.0 which may be used in a future untethered jailbreak tool, but if you update now there’s no good way to roll back to iOS 5.0 so you may not be able to use the new tools once their available.

Third, there’s currently no way to jailbreak an iPhone 4S or iPad 2.
