MuscleNerd releases Redsn0w 0.9.9b1, includes lots of new features

A few days ago we posted about MuscleNerd's announcement regarding the release of a new version of Redsn0w. Tonight he has done just that!

This version supports all the same devices and firmwares as Redsn0w 0.9.8b7 but it has radically changed the way the program works including a simplified interface. Now various tools built within Redsn0w are sorted into easy to access tabs that streamline the way users will use Redsn0w.

New features:

  • uses DFU mode to try to automatically determine which device and FW you have
  • fetches pieces of public IPSWs from Apple (once).  Non-public IPSWs must be provided manually (once).  It then caches those pieces for future use.
  • “Just boot” is a tethered boot.  Uses whatever “Preferences” you’ve set for boot logo and kernel boot-args
  • “Pwned DFU” puts your device in a pwned DFU state for some of the iTunes stuff detailed below
  • “Recovery fix” gets past 1015 types of errors (when baseband portion of restore fails).  Should work on iOS5 beta too
  • “Select IPSW” is for picking non-public IPSWs, or overriding auto-detection
  • “SHSH blobs” has a bunch of options…
  • “Fetch” - fetch current PARTIAL blobs on device.  Puts this set PARTIAL of blobs on your computer as a plist.  Checks if Cydia already has a full set for this device and build.  If not, it submits this partial set and returns Cydia’s acknowledgement or rejection
  •  ”Verify”  - cryptographically verifies existing blob files from either redsn0w, TinyUmbrella, or Cydia server.  You can select a whole bunch of blobs to verify at once if you want (like the TinyUmbrella directory)
  • “Submit”  - both verifies and submits one or more blob files to Cydia.  This lets you copy your entire TinyUmbrella cache of blobs up to the Cydia server
  •  ”Query” - queries the Cydia server for all available full or partial blobs for a given set of ECIDs
  • “Stitch” - stitches either FULL or PARTIAL blobs to a STOCK or CUSTOM IPSW
  1. FULL blobs stitched to a STOCK IPSW gives you a completely self-contained signed IPSW that iTunes will accept without any tricks (no need to go into pwned DFU mode, no need to start TinyUmbrella TSS server, no need to redirect to Cydia server for blobs)
  2. PARTIAL blobs stitched to any IPSW requires you to go into pwned DFU mode before running iTunes.  No need to start TU or use Cydia though.
  3. stitching either FULL or PARTIAL blobs to a CUSTOM IPSW also requires a pwned DFU start before iTunes restores.  No need to start TU or use Cydia though.
  4. stitching is NOT yet supported on iPhones (well, at least not tested).  Need to work out the baseband part of the restore process.
  5. will eventually support fetching the blobs directly from Cydia instead of a file on your computer

    I tried this jailbreak on my iPhone 4.3.5 but it still won’t work. Have been trying to jailbreak for 2 months. Still just says “invalid SIM” any suggestions?

      Invalid SIM is an unlock issue not a jailbreak issue

    I have tried several times to get this program to work and it fails every time. The earlier versions work perfect but this one does not seem to do anything it promises. Are there any reported bugs going on?
