The Dev Team has put online a few hours a beta version of its tool that allows to operate RedSn0w jailbreak firmware 4.0 beta 1 now have access to which application developers iPhone. Beware, however: it recommends to use it only if you are a software developer unofficial third. Explanations.
The videos showed on OS 4.0 Cydia said therefore true. RedSn0w 9.5 makes it possible to operate the jailbreak of the first beta of firmware 4.0. To do this, the Dev Team states have exploited a loophole that existed in the days of firmware 2.x. The publication of his tool therefore not learn anything new to Apple.
For now, the tool is in beta, which means it can not work perfectly on all machines. The official support is limited also to the iPhone 3G, the first beta of firmware 4.0 and a Mac OS X to perform the jailbreak.
It is strongly recommended not to attempt the run if you’re not a developer of applications for Cydia. The idea here is indeed simply to allow software developers to start testing their applications work correctly on OS 4.0 when it is made public and a public jailbreak tool has been made available . The Dev Team also states that one should not use RedSn0w 9.5 If you used a Desimlock unofficial!
If you’re an application developer unofficial or curious ready to spend a few hours to lock up your iPhone if something goes wrong, you can still download the software via this page. To use it, you will have the file of the firmware 4.0 beta 1, as well as an Apple developer account allows you to validate installation.
In Mac OS, then run RedSn0w. Find the location of your firmware 4.0, select the option to install Cydia, and follow the software instructions to place your iPhone in DFU mode and thus load a modified firmware on your iPhone 3G. Caution: once again, the software is a beta version, restricted to amateurs. It should be used only by people who know exactly what they are doing all that for now, many of the software found on Cydia does not work on OS 4.0!
