redsn0w Unlocks & Jailbreaks Any iPhone or iPod touch

Tweet

In case you own an iPhone or iPod touch that still happens to be locked and “jailed” then we have an unlock and jailbreak solution for you. Actually the iPhone Dev Team has developed redSn0w 0.9.2 and we only get to show it to you. Not that we would ever encourage or support any attempt of unlocking and jailbreaing iPhones and any other mobile gadget whatsoever.

Unlike the iPad which will be available unlocked from the start, but still “jailed” by Apple, most iPhones happen to be locked to the carrier that sells them for a subsidized price. Together with the iPod touch the iPhones are also jailed by Apple and the only way of getting software installed on them is through the App Store available from Apple’s iTunes platform.

Naturally these conditions are not acceptable by “professional” smartphone users that would want to run other apps on their iPhone or iPod touch. You know, the kind of apps that get banned from the App Store for various reasons.

Hence the need for a software capable of doing all that unlocking and jailbreaking for you. There’s one dedicated team that does that kind of thing and everything is free of charge. The iPhone Dev Team has just made available the latest version of redsn0w. Version 0.9.2 will unlock and jailbreak any generation iPhone or iPod touch released so far. The new hack is compatible with Windows and Mac OS X x86 platforms but additional versions for Linux and PPC OS X users are on their way.

The custom hack comes with support for iPhone OS 3.0 and 3.1.2 and I bet that the iPhone Dev Team can’t wait to get their hands on Apple’s upcoming firmware version for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.

redsn0w 0.9.2 will install Cydia, afc2 and the IPCC tethering hack for you. It also comes with custom logos and deals with WiFi issues reported by other unlock and jailbreaking software.

Have you unlocked and/or jailbroken your iPhone yet?
