iPhone Dev Team releases Redsn0w 0.9.7 Beta 5 Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1
Posted by unlocker under Jailbreak on Monday Jan 31, 2011iDevices 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.
