The iPhone DevTeam has just updated the famous jailbreaking tool RedSn0w to 0.9.6 beta to jailbreak iOS 4.1 on iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G. Redsn0w can also be used to jailbreak iOS 4.0 on iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G. Redsn0w 0.9.6b1 still uses the same pwnage2 DFU-mode exploit that the Dev team have been using since the 2.x days. It does not include the SHAtter exploit developed by pod2g and nothing new is revealed to Apple with this jailbreak.

IF you are using ultrasn0w to unlock your iPhone DO NOT use this updated redsn0w. If you use redsn0w at 4.1, you need to already have updated to official 4.1 from Apple and if you do that, you lose the ultrasn0w unlock (possible forever).

Currently redsn0w 0.9.6b1 release is for Mac OS X only and the Windows version of redsn0w 0.9.6b1 will come in the near future.

• Launch the redsn0w 0.9.6b1
• Select your stock 4.1 or 4.0 ipsw
