<div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/redsn0w-0-9-6-rc7.jpg" alt="redsn0w-0-9-6-rc7" title="redsn0w-0-9-6-rc7" width="118" height="115" class="alignright size-full wp-image-11456" /> Redsn0w 0.9.6rc7 is now available to download for Mac and Windows, it offers an easier “one-click” boot option for those using the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/11/24/tethered-jailbreak-vs-untethered-jailbreak/">tethered jailbreak</a> for iOS 4.2.1. By utilizing the command line, Redsn0w 0.9.6rc7 lets you pass arguments directly to the app including the location of the reference IPSW file, this can then be saved as a bash script which prevents you from having to manually select the IPSW via the redsn0w GUI. </p>

<p>These are the flags and their corresponding arguments that can be passed to Redsn0w 0.9.6rc7:</p>

<ul>

<li>-j tells redsn0w to “Just boot now tethered for now”</li>

<li>-i <IPSW File> to specify the reference IPSW</li>

<li>-o for old-bootrom iPod touch 2G and iPhone 3GS only</li>

<li>-b <boot_logo.png> to specify a custom boot logo png</li>

</ul>

<p>The example that the Dev Team provides is for the Mac OS X redsn0w app, using the command line to boot an iPod touch 4G with the tethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak:</p>

<p><code>open ~/Desktop/redsn0w.app —args -j -i ~/Desktop/iPod4,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw</code></p>

<p>Included in the download you will find a sample bash script that you can customize and execute directly (thus, the one-click tethered boot) which passes the arguments to redsn0w directly. This is what the Dev Team says about the above example and that bash script:</p>

<blockquote><p>

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.)</p></blockquote>

<p>This release is intended to ease the tethered jailbreak and boot annoyance until the final release of the redsn0w iOS 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak is made available. <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/12/31/redsn0w-0-9-7b4-download/">Redsn0w 0.9.7b4</a> is currently the most recent version of the untethered beta, however it does not include Bluetooth support, and is Mac only for now. We will update <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/redsn0w/">redsn0w</a> releases when they are made available.</p>

<h2 style="font-size:1.2em;">Download Redsn0w 0.9.6rc7</h2>

<p>This easier tethered boot redsn0w release is available for Mac OS X and Windows:</p>

<ul>

<li><a href="https://sites.google.com/a/iphone-dev.com/files/home/redsn0w_mac_0.9.6rc7.zip?attredirects=0&d=1">Download Now (Mac)</a>

<li><a href="https://sites.google.com/a/iphone-dev.com/files/home/redsn0w_win_0.9.6rc7.zip?attredirects=0&d=1">Download Now (Windows)</a>

</ul>

<p>As before, everyone should use iTunes 10.1 and a USB 2.0 port. Windows users should run the redsn0w exe in “XP Compatibility Mode” to ensure a trouble free tethered boot.</p>
