Geek Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/redsn0w-0-9-6rc8.jpg" alt="redsn0w 0-9-6rc8" title="redsn0w 0-9-6rc8" width="469" height="225" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11588" /></p> <p>Redsn0w 0.9.6rc8 has been released for download for Mac and Windows. The redsn0w 0.9.6rc series aims to provide a ‘one-click’ tethered boot option to ease the burden of having a <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/11/24/tethered-jailbreak-vs-untethered-jailbreak/">tethered jailbreak</a> until the untethered jailbreak of redsn0w 0.9.7 is finalized. This is achieved by passing arguments to the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/redsn0w/">redsn0w</a> application through an editable script file. Once this script is configured with the proper IPSW file and the tethered boot arguments, you can do a one-click launch of that script rather than manually selecting these options in the redsn0w application, making the tethered boot quicker and easier.</p> <p>The 0.9.6rc8 redsn0w release is relatively minor and offers a few bug fixes from rc7, most significantly that custom tethered boot logo commands will now report if and why an invalid PNG file is attempted.</p> <p>The arguments for this version are the same as before:</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>An example of the Mac OS X command with an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.2.1 to perform a tethered boot would be the following:</p> <p><code>open ~/Desktop/redsn0w.app --args -j -i ~/Desktop/iPhone4,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw</code></p> <p>This assumes that redsn0w and your IPSW file are located on your Mac desktop. Check the boot-ipt4g.command file that is included with the redsn0w download for more examples.</p> <h2 style="font-size:1.2em;">Download Redsn0w 0.9.6rc8</h2> <p>Unlike the current untethered beta, this version of redsn0w is available to Mac and Windows users:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://sites.google.com/a/iphone-dev.com/files/home/redsn0w_mac_0.9.6rc8.zip?attredirects=0&d=1">Download now</a> (Mac OS X)</li> <li><a href="https://sites.google.com/a/iphone-dev.com/files/home/redsn0w_win_0.9.6rc8.zip?attredirects=0&d=1">Download now</a> (Windows)</li> </ul> <p>Everyone should be using iTunes 10.1 or newer, and Windows users need to run the application through ‘XP Compatibility’ mode to prevent any troubles.</p> <p>We will keep you updated on <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/redsn0w/">redsn0w</a> releases as they are made available.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/wML0NvmjvcCxtq4ZhGCeqy9qS_w/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/wML0NvmjvcCxtq4ZhGCeqy9qS_w/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/wML0NvmjvcCxtq4ZhGCeqy9qS_w/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/wML0NvmjvcCxtq4ZhGCeqy9qS_w/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=6wyXl2Afies:stXuFP7_oSo:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=6wyXl2Afies:stXuFP7_oSo:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=6wyXl2Afies:stXuFP7_oSo:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=6wyXl2Afies:stXuFP7_oSo:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=6wyXl2Afies:stXuFP7_oSo:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=6wyXl2Afies:stXuFP7_oSo:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=6wyXl2Afies:stXuFP7_oSo:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/6wyXl2Afies" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
