The iPhone Dev-Team has updated RedSn0w to fix Bluetooth issues with the 'Backup Plan' untether.

The fifth beta is now available (testers ONLY please!). Bluetooth is now working (and any sandbox-related issues should be resolved too). Please do not pirate the 4.2b3 IPSW! Only those enrolled in the iPhone Developer program have legitimate access to that IPSW.

There is actually a Windows version of beta5, but it’s excruciatingly slow compared to the Mac version because it’s forced to use files on your hard drive instead of RAM while it’s processing the very large IPSW images. It really is very very painfully slow, so we probably won’t be releasing it for testing purposes unless it can be sped up somehow.

You can download RedSn0w .0.7b5 from here. You can find instructions on how to use this version of RedSn0w to untether here.

Hey guys, A few days after jailbraking my iphone using this method, I decided to restore my iphone to its factory settings. And while in the process of restoring with the apple logo and the restoring bar on the screen, I noticed that the restoring bar is stuck half way thru the process and it won't do nothing. I've waited and waited and nothing happens. What can I do?

Thanks DEV-TEAM .. Beta 5 worked like a champ .. everything so far appears to be working correctly, WiFi, BlueTooth etc etc etc. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK :)

Can't stop laughing! HAHAHA! ... "Please do not pirate the 4.2b3 IPSW!" HAHAHA! We are all PIRATES! everyone with a jailbreak iPhone is a pirate! Dev-Team are pirates (and I don't have any problem for that)

I think i'll wait for something else, this jailbreak seriously drained mine & the wifes batteries, as well as wifi issues. Just not worth it anymore

can baseband 6.15 be downgraded to a lower number cus i thisn my 4.1 3g is slow because of 6.15 baseband helpppppppppp

It looks like Apple has finally won the war. 4.2.1 and the new iPhone 4 baseband has stopped these developers in their tracks. I'm sure Geohot has something, but he is sick of everyone else ridiculing him.

Works like a charm.......Shame they can't release it for Windows peeps as well though

LordGeek - January 9, 2011 at 11:30pm

Would be nice .. would you believe it though, I actually went out and bought myself a Apple MAC Mini to screw around with LOL .. so now other than being able to jailbreak my iPhone 4 .. I now also have a new toy to learn .. so far its been fun :)

hi all, i'm having the following trouble, can't figure why it's happening, could someone help me :) "AppleBCMWLAN::handleIOKitBusyWatchdogTimeout(): Error, no successful firmware download after 60000 ms!! Giving up..."

Peter Ooi - January 9, 2011 at 9:14am

Same here. Redsn0w 0.9.7b5 not working for me.

guingui - January 9, 2011 at 10:04am

me to ;(

punish14 - January 9, 2011 at 2:32pm

not working for me either.. the b4 was working no trouble.. but i also get this error

Guingui - January 9, 2011 at 8:48pm

U have to restore youre iphone to factory settings with iTunes then do a tether JB with redsn0w then do the untether JB

LordGeek - January 9, 2011 at 11:33pm

I had also received the same message .. had to start completely from scratch. Do a complete new RESTORE with 4.2.1 .. once you have done that .. use the redsn0w beta 5 for the Untethered Jailbreak .. but also have the "Install Cydia" checked off also .. worked like a champ.

punish14 - January 10, 2011 at 2:47am

so I restored factory 4.2.1 then used 0.9.6b4 and then 0.9.7b5 and everything worked on my 3G iPad.. pain in the ass considering I thought you could just go right over beta4 with beta5 as before.. but it is beta..

Vanja - January 9, 2011 at 6:27am

Dev Team became painfully slow. I remember the good ol' days when they'd just release the jailbreak and unlock few days after the official firmware release. Those days, unfortunately, are gone. I mean, come on, when was 4.1 out and new i4 baseband? 4.2.1 was out in November. It is January now. Still no unlock and still no untethered jailbreak. Just like many other people, my next iPhone will be officially unlocked. No more cat&mouse game for win. Apple wins!

Thanx for the good work...................but when to release full version. Release for windows also plx.
