These are instructions on how to perform a tethered jailbreak of iPhone 4 on the 4.3.5 firmware using RedSn0w for Windows. The Mac version of this tutorial is here. If you are on 4.3.3 or lower make sure you do NOT update to iOS 4.3.5. Use the untethered JailbreakMe instead. You can find the appropriate JailbreakMe tutorial here.

Those who want to unlock should make sure not to update without preserving their baseband.

Step One
Create a folder on your desktop called Pwnage


Download RedSn0w from 0.9.8b7b here and place it in the Pwnage folder. Likewise, download the latest 4.3.5 firmware from below and place it in the same folder.

4.3.5 (4 GSM): iPhone3,1_4.3.5_8L1_Restore.ipsw

Extract the RedSn0w zip file into the same folder.

Connect your iPhone to the computer and launch iTunes.

Step Four
Once RedSn0w opens click the Browse button

Step Thirteen
Once this is complete you will be notified that RedSn0w is done. Click the Finish button. When your iPhone finishes rebooting (5 minutes or so) it will be jailbroken with Cydia on the SpringBoard.

BOOT TETHERED
Once RedSn0w has finished jailbreaking your device you will need to boot it tethered. Rerun RedSn0w and this time select Just boot tethered right now from the list of options instead of installing Cydia.

*As usual a big thanks to the iPhone Dev-Team for their hard work and contribution to the iPhone community.
**Windows 7 users may want to try running the redsn0w executable mode as an administrator in Windows Vista compatibility mode if you experience any trouble.

I have iPhone 4 with 4.1 installed. My Cydia app shows SHSH: iOS 4.1, 4.2.1, 4.2b3, 4.3.3, 4.3.4, 4.3.5. Does this mean I can install 4.3.3? Is there a way to bypass apple server check or any other errors. I just want to upgrade to make use of AirPlay and need untethered jailbreak. Any help on this would be highly appreciated.

It worked perfect for me on win XP, but i have 2 comments: 1. if you restart and you're stuck at the apple logo then put your iphone in DFU Mode before starting redsnow. 2. if you install something in cydia (i.e installous) and it doesnt show up, just reboot tethered :{O

iClarified failed to point out that the 4.3.5 UNTETHERED jailbreak is not out yet. That is why RedSn0w doesn't recognize it. If you run RedSn0w and load the 4.5.4 firmware, it will jailbreak your 4.3.5 iPhone but it will be tethered! They should have clearly stated that 4.3.4 is the firmware to use for an untethered jailbreak. I am very disappointed cause now my phone is on 4.3.5 and I can't downgrade it to get it untethered again. FAIL!

Yes! Till they release an untethered jailbreak for the firmware.

Cant get Redsn0w to recognise any of the 4.3.5 ipsw files, even the one from apple wont work. Any ideas?
CountVampy
CountVampy - August 8, 2011 at 8:23pm
That's why you need to have a 4.3.4 ipsw to point to.

Didnt work. Cydia comes up with a white icon and when you try to open it, it automatically shuts down. Anyone else having this issues or had success with this guide?

Are you skipping the "Boot tethered" step?
