iPhone Dev Team released the Pwnage Tool for Mac earlier this month. Just recently, the team released Redsn0w to allow iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G users to use the 16.15.00 baseband commonly used in iPad so they can use Ultrasn0w 1.2 to unlock their iPhones. The new Redsn0w 0.9.6beta5 is available for Windows and Mac users.

According to the released information from the iPhone Dev Team on their blog: “The new redsn0w 0.9.6beta5 is out.  It gives both Windows and OSX users the ability to flash the iPad 06.15 baseband on iPhone3G or iPhone3GS.  It fetches the baseband files directly from Apple for now (the only IPSW you ever point it at is the stock IPSW for the FW on your iPhone right now).  There may be a long delay while it’s doing this (their servers are currently getting pounded).”

Here are the simple instructions you should read and follow in using Redsn0w from the iPhone Dev Team.

  1. Read and fully understand the warning below.
  2. If you have an old-bootrom 3GS and are already unlockable but want to get to 4.2.1, please wait till we release an “unofficial” bundle for you.  Read no further.
  3. Use redsn0w (see update #2) for OSX or Windows.  Enable the “Install iPad baseband” option and accept the warning.
  4. When the redsn0w ramdisk is finished, install ultrasn0w via Cydia.

Here is the detailed version of how to use Redsn0w in unlocking your. Please do this at your own risk.

WARNING — YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!  PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENCES OF UPDATING TO 06.15.

1. There is no way to come back down from 06.15, and there’s no hiding the baseband version from Apple. You’ll be voiding your warranty in a very obvious way.

2. If some future baseband comes out with a critical fix, you won’t be able to update to it if it remains down in the 05.xx sequence (then again, you wouldn’t update to it if you wanted to keep your unlock anyway).

3. Starting with FW 4.2.1 if you have 06.15 on your iPhone you won’t ever be able to restore to stock firmware (it will fail).  You’ll need to only restore to custom IPSWs (then again, if you’re unlocker you should already be doing that).

Certainly don’t update to 06.15 if you don’t need to!  Only do this if you need to unlock and you’re stuck on 05.14 or 05.15, and you’re willing to assume the above risks.

For those who want to take the risk, you can download Redsn0w from the link provided by the team at the bottom of their blog. Also, please bear in mind that when you unlock your iPhones, the warranty will be void. Please proceed with caution.
