Please help. I updated my iPhone 4 from 5.0 to 5.0.1 via the Software Update on the iPhone. I'm not concerned about the baseband and unlocking as I've already had my mobile carrier unlock the iPhone. Anyway, with the iPhone already at iOS 5.0.1 I've downloaded the latest version of Redsn0w and followed the steps exactly (skipping the steps to upgrade to iOS 5.0.1 as it says). I've launched Redsn0w, clicked Jailbreak, put my iPhone into DFU mode and it starts to prepare the jailbreak and then prompts that the IPSW is needed...?? The tutorial specifically states that you do not need to download the 5.0.1 firmware if you are already on iOS 5.0.1 which I am. What am I doing wrong?
