How to Boot Tethered your iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 4thGen with One Click Only

Ok, today iPhoneDevTeam released their new redsnow 0.9.6rc7 in order to use 1 click boot tethered only tools.

Here is how:


  1. Download the redsnow 0.9.6rc7 for window from here 
  2. Extract the redsnow in your local PC folder (for example: C:\JB and make sure all the extracted file is inside the JB folder, not inside other folder inside the JB Folder)
  3. Put your appropriate official ipsw file to the same folder as in step 2 (example: C:\JB), for example if you use iPhone4 IOS 4 .2.1 then put iPhone3,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw file into the C:\JB folder
  4. then copy shortcut file boot-ipt4g and paste it in that same folder (c:\JB), then it will create a file named: "copy of boot-ipt4g"
  5. Right click the "copy of boot-ipt4g" file and select properties
  6. Changes the target box as below command (for example if you use iPhone4):
    • C:\JB\redsn0w.exe -j -i "C:\JB\iPhone3,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw"
  7. Then hit apply > ok
  8. Rename the "copy of boot-ipt4g" into "boot_iphone4"
  9. Double click the "boot_iphone4" file and wait until redsnow open, and follow the instructions from redsnow afterwards.

G'lak, and have a try!!

How to overcome Stuck Apple Logo after Jailbreak IOS 4.2.1 using RedSnow 0.9.6b6

Ok Guys, here is what I encountered:


  • I have iPhone 4 with IOS 4.2.1 Stock officially from Apple
  • I Jailbreak it using RedSnow 0.9.6b6 (yes I know, this is still tethered Jailbreak)
  • I open the Cydia, after Jailbreak and "Just boot tethered only"
  • Update Essential my Cydia
  • I reboot my iPhone, and it succeed. I didn't get stuck @ apple logo.
  • Then I need to install AppSync 4.2, so I run redsnow again and select "Just Boot Tethered only"
  • I Open Cydia, and add hackulous repo
  • Then I Install AppSync 4.2 from hackulous repo
  • Then I sync some several apps from apptrackr.org that I have download it.
  • And I reboot my iPhone (just want to test it, am I gonna stuck @ apple logo or not)
  • And voila! yes I got stuck at apple logo :-( (damn!!!)
  • So now I know the appsync 4.2 is causing this.
  • I run redsnow again and select boot tethered only
  • I open cydia and uninstall the AppSync 4.2 and reboot my iPhone again...and yeap! I didn't get stuck at apple logo.
So yes, Appsync is causing this...so its your call guys..whether you can be patient to wait for the real Untethered from Comex or P0sixninja, because the current untethered JB using redsnow 0.9.7 from MuscleNerd is can be done if and only if you have 4.2b3 SHSH blob saved in Saurik's server....if you don't have it then I think the patience option is the better one.

Or you can just tethered JB your iPhone but just make sure that when your travelling or far from your PC or Laptop, your iPhone is not run out of battery, your iPhone is not turn off, or you don't reboot your iPhone.

G'lak and have a try!!

How to Jailbreak & Unlock iPhone 3G

Last couple of days, my friend asked my help to Jailbreak and unlock his Boss iPhone 3G. So I think since this is her Boss iPhone iPhone, I will need to make sure that the Jailbreak and Unlock should be on already stabile states and free from buggy.

I think directly to restore it to 3.1.3, why not to IOS 4.xxx ? because i think iPhone 3G is not really recommended to run under IOS 4.xxx based on its slower processor and ram.

So, I am gonna write the steps on how to Jailbreak and Unlock iPhone 3G using IOS 3.1.3 (because probably, you already forgot on how to do that....and that is what happened to me...forgot!! ;-) ).

Jailbreaking:

  1. Make sure your iPhone 3G already saved SHSH blob in Cydia Server, if you don't know then no need to worries...just restore your iPhone 3G directly to 3.1.3
  2. Download the IOS 3.1.3 and IOS 3.1.2 (here is the link http://www.iphoneheat.com/category/iphone-firmwares/ if you don't have those).
  3. Edit hosts file located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc (if you using windows) with notepad
  4. Add a line "74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com". 
  5. Save and close the notepad.
  6. Connect your iPhone to iTunes ( I currently use iTunes 10)
  7. Hold shift and click restore
  8. Select the firmware file that you have download in step 2 located in your local PC Folder.
  9. wait until finish restore and usually it will show you the error code 1015, don't panic...close your iTunes leave the iPhone connected to your PC and go to http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com/ and download tinyumbrella for windows (if u using windows).
  10. Open the tinyumbrella and select kick out of recovery, then wait your iPhone 3G finish booting.
  11. Download redsnow version 0.9.4 (if you don't have it, google it!)
  12. Open redsnow and click browse and choose IOS 3.1.2 (yes its 3.1.2 not 3.1.3 because redsnow 0.9.4 only work for 3.1.2, no need to worry this will work...trust me! :-) ).
  13. Wait until it successfully identified and hit Next.
  14. Choose Install Cydia only then hit Next.
  15. Make sure your iPhone connected to your PC, and turn it off (yes turn it off).
  16. Hit Next and follow the instruction written in Redsnow (prepare your finger to hold sleep, then hold the home button, and release the sleep button but keep your home button pressed)....bottom line just follow the instruction from redsnow.
  17. wait until its ready jailbreaking your iPhone 3G.


Unlocking:

  1. Tap Cydia
  2. Update Essential
  3. Go to manage > sources > choose ultrasn0w repo
  4. select ultrasn0w and install it
  5. Boot your iPhone and voila! your iPhone is already unlocked.
