As expected, Redsn0w has been updated to Redsn0w 0.9.6rc7. It includes ‘one-click’ boot support for all those users who are using the devices being operated by the tethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak. Command line statements will help you bypass the screens that you normally see while using redsn0w to “Just boot tethered for now”
Follow are the instructions on HOW TO tether the jailbreak on your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch device with just a single click.
Check out the details taken from the official iPhone Dev Team blog which explains it:
The available command line arguments are:
-j to ask redsn0w to “Just boot now”
-i to specify your reference IPSW
-o for old-bootrom iPod touch 2G and iPhone 3GS
-b to specify your own boot logo pngFor example, to get redsn0w for Mac to do a tethered boot of an iPod touch 4G jailbroken at 4.2.1:
open ~/Desktop/redsn0w.app –args -j -i ~/Desktop/iPod4,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw
This assumes both redsn0w and the IPSW are on your OS X desktop, so
modify as necessary! Included in the zip is an example script file
that you can double click on to launch redsn0w like this (the Windows
example assumes everything is in C:\). (Mac users: please remember to
change the permissions of your custom *.command files to allow
execution.)This should help ease the pain of the tethered jailbreak until @comex
comes up with a 4.2.1 untether (or for those of you with legit access
to the 4.2b3 IPSW, until the “Jailbreak Monte” untether is out of
beta)!- PLEASE UPGRADE TO iTunes 10.1 FOR BEST RESULTS
- WINDOWS 7 USERS SHOULD RUN redsn0w IN “XP COMPATIBILITY” MODE
- Make sure you’re using a USB 2.0 port
The process is a helpful to ease the complexity of tethered jailbreak till comex releases a better version of untethered iOS 4.2.1. The iPhone Dev Team has already released iOS 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak version only for Mac OS X and the Windows version is coming soon. There seems few problems in this version and everybody seems to be waiting for the better version by comex.
