RedSn0w Update Will Bring Custom IPSW Creation to Prevent Baseband Update

RedSn0w Update Will Bring Custom IPSW Creation to Prevent Baseband Update

Posted October 12, 2011 at 1:50pm by
MuscleNerd has announced that the iPhone Dev-Team will be adding the ability to build a custom ipsw that prevents baseband updates to RedSn0w.

We're adding most popular PwnageTool usage into redsn0w (for Windows+Mac). First up: removing BB update


the thinking is: update PwnageTool when there are untethered jailbreaks, but otherwise let redsn0w handle each new FW

Apple is releasing iOS 5 today. To find out the moment when RedSn0w or iOS 5 is release you can follow us on Twitter or Facebook.
