iDevices users are probably waiting for this. The iPhone Dev Team recently released the newest beta version of Redsn0w 0.9.7 or also known as the Redsn0w 0.9.7b5. The iPhone Dev Team was able to fix all of the sandbox related issues in this new beta version and the good news is, it does not disable the Bluetooth like in other previous beta versions. However, it is only meant for beta testers.

If you will remember, the iPhone Dev Team released the Redsn0w 0.9.7b1 just a couple of weeks back that will serve as a backup plan for the iOS 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak for iPhone 4, iPad and iPod touch 4G. The iPhone Dev Team works hard in fixing all of the issues of the untethered jailbreak and to get it ready for the users. The team also released the Redsn0w 0.9.7b2 to fix native app crashes, Redsn0w 0.9.7b3 to fix bugs related to non-GUI programs such as Facetime, Winterboard themes, and embedded videos in iTunes and Redsn0w 0.9.7b4, which eliminated the need to install and run a separate program for usbmux.

More information can be found in the blog post of the iPhone Dev Team about the Redsn0w 0.9.7 Beta 5. They said, “The fifth beta is now available (testers ONLY please!). Bluetooth is now working (and any sandbox-related issues should be resolved too). Please do not pirate the 4.2b3 IPSW! Only those enrolled in the iPhone Developer program have legitimate access to that IPSW using these links (the links won’t work unless you’re a legit developer currently logged in).

The Redsn0w 0.9.7 beta is currently for Mac users and Windows users will have to wait a little longer as the Redsn0w meant for Windows is not yet ready for beta testing.

iPhone Dev Team recently released the latest version of Redsn0w, which is the Redsn0w 0.9.7b1, that serves as the back-up plan for the iOS 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak. This latest version of Redsn0w can be used to jailbreak iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch 4G with iOS 4.2.1. However, it is important to note that the Redsn0w 0.9.7b1 is only for beta testers as there are still some known issues that need to be addressed.

Go over the complete information provided by the iPhone Dev Team before trying out the Redsn0w 0.9.7b1 on your iDevices.

* This is a beta tester program. It’s not a general release! Things can go very wrong, so please don’t even consider testing if you have pictures or other media on your device that you haven’t backed up!

* For the same reason, please don’t participate if you rely on the ultrasn0w carrier unlock. Wait for the final version!

* Until we fix some sandbox issues with bluetooth, the bluetooth functionality is disabled.

* This very first beta1 is limited to iPhone4, iPad, and iPod touch 4G.

* Cydia must have your 4.2b3 SHSH blobs saved on file. (As we approach a general release, we’ll provide a way to let you use locally saved hashes too).

* You must already have the usbmuxd software installed and running on your Mac (this requirement will eventually go away too). The correct invocation of the relay is just as that page says: “./tcprelay.py -t 22:2222”. If the relay isn’t installed or running correctly by the time the redsn0w ramdisk has started, you’ll need to restore to stock FW again to try it again. Please test it beforehand to save yourself some time!

It is also important to note that jailbreaking your iDevice may void its warranty so please proceed with caution and at your own risk. It is always a good idea to take a backup of your iDevice, refer to this post for more details.

Please note that these are some of the known bugs:

* Task switcher causes Springboard crash (temporary workaround is to use SBSettings process list)

* Bluetooth currently disabled due to sandbox problem

Check out if Cydia has saved iOS 4.2 beta 3 SHSH blobs, you may launch Cydia and wait to load the main page. You should see SHSH: 4.2b3 on the top of the page.
