Redsn0w is a cross-platform jailbreaking tool for iPhone similar to blackra1n. Few days back we wrote about yet to be released redsn0w 0.9 to Jailbreak iPhone With 3.1.2 Firmware which is released today. The iPhone dev team released the redsn0w 0.9 beta 3 tool for both Windows and Mac. With redsn0w you can jailbreak, unlock and customize iPhone and iPod Touch.

Redsn0w is similar to other iPhone jailbreaking tools like blackra1n, PwnageTool and sn0wbreeze. You can try out redsn0w if you are facing issues with the other tools. But the third beta of redsn0w 0.9 still doesn’t support the latest iPod Touch 3G. Redsn0w 0.9 beta 3 restricts the ‘late-model’ iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch with “MC” serial number to reboot normally. So you have to jailbreak iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch device with redsn0w 0.9 every time you wish to reboot it. This current version of redsn0w also installs Cydia and open source package manager.

Important Points About Redsn0w 0.9 Beta 3

• RedSn0w 0.9 will jailbreak all iPhone and iPod Touch Models except iPod Touch 3G
• It will jailbreak iPhone OS 3.0 and 3.1.2
• If you need a carrier unlock, redsn0w will handle iPhone 2G by itself. For iPhone 3G/3GS, use Cydia after you’re jailbroken to install ultrasn0w (baseband 04.26, preferred) or blacksn0w (baseband 05.11).
• RedSn0w will modify your current filesystem, so your existing baseband, data and applications should remain intact
• Available for Windows and Mac; Customizations include boot logos, recovery logos, and “verbose” boot.
• If you have a late-model iPhone 3GS or iPod touch 2G with “MC” serial number then you can use redsn0w to jailbreak but you are currently restricted to “tethered” rebooting.
