There’s a special “trick” that iPhone3GS owners with baseband 06.15 need for iOS5.  During the new setup screens you see when you start iOS5 for the first time, you’ll be asked about Location Services.  Be sure to select “Disable Location Services” when asked!  Later on in the setup, you’ll have the chance to turn on Location Services again when asked if you want to use “Find my iPhone”.  It’s fine to turn it back on at that point, if that’s your desire (or you can always go in and enable it in Settings.app)

Official statement from the iPhone Dev Team about redsn0w 0.9.9b4

For those of you who experiment with your own custom ramdisks using the -r command-line option, version 0.9.9b4 adds auto-detection support for iOS5.  This is needed because iOS4 and iOS5 treat the root partition differently (it’s encrypted in iOS5).  redsn0w will now upload the correct iOS5 kernel by itself, but it’s up to your own launchd to determine if it needs to mount using the old or new partition scheme.

redsn0w 0.9.9b4 now also accepts both native and img3-encapsulated versions of files you provide via the -r, -k, and -d command-line options (do redsn0w -h to show all the available options).

redsn0w 0.9.9b4 is the 12th updated version of redsn0w beta series developed for jailbreaking the iPods, iPads and iPhones running iOs 5 betas and iOS 5 GM

This version of redsn0w (redsn0w 0.9.8b7c) has been released by iPhone Dev Team to jailbreak iOS 5 beta 7 . However, this version of redns0w eliminates your need to point to iOS 4.3.4 ipsw instead of the original iOS 4.3.5 ipsw. So, no double downloading

Jailbreak iOS 4.3.5 using iOS 4.3.5 ipsw  with redsn0w 0.9.8b7c

Download iOS 4.3.5 ipsw

Download redsn0w 0.9.8b7c ( Windows | Mac )

Open redsn0w and point it to iOS 4.3.5 ipsw ….

Install Cydia and multi – touch gestures from the options menu

After installing Cydia you need to tethered boot  your iDevice for Cydia to work and tether everytime you reboot your iDevice . Enjoy !

So, how does redsn0w 0.9.9b1 work?

After using this version of redsn0w, you need not worry to download large ipsw files and point it to the software, instead redsn0w 0.9.9b1 detects and automatically downloads the essential files from Apple’s servers required to perform the jailbreak. Additionally, it stores those files in its cache, preventing the need to re-download for the purpose of carrying out the jailbreak again in the future. The system works for both tethered and untethered jailbreaks depending on the progress that has been made with said version of iOS.

Full change log of redsn0w 0.9.9b1

• uses DFU mode to try to automatically determine which device and FW you have
• fetches pieces of public IPSWs from Apple (once).  Non-public IPSWs must be provided manually (once).  It then caches those pieces for future use.
• “Just boot” is a tethered boot.  Uses whatever “Preferences” you’ve set for boot logo and kernel boot-args
• “Pwned DFU” puts your device in a pwned DFU state for some of the iTunes stuff detailed below
• “Recovery fix” gets past 1015 types of errors (when baseband portion of restore fails).  Should work on iOS5 beta too
• “Select IPSW” is for picking non-public IPSWs, or overriding auto-detection
• “SHSH blobs” has a bunch of options…
• “Fetch” – fetch current PARTIAL blobs on device.  Should complete in under 10 or 15 seconds.  Puts the set of PARTIAL of blobs on your computer as a plist.  Checks if Cydia already has a full set for this device and build.  If not, it submits this PARTIAL set and returns Cydia’s acknowledgement or rejection
• “Verify”  – cryptographically verifies existing blob files from either redsn0w, TinyUmbrella, or Cydia server.  You can select a whole bunch of blobs to verify at once if you want (like the TinyUmbrella directory)
• “Submit”  – both verifies and submits one or more blob files to Cydia.  This lets you copy your entire TinyUmbrella cache of blobs up to the Cydia server
• “Query” – queries the Cydia server for all available FULL or PARTIAL blobs for a given set of ECIDs
• “Stitch” – stitches either FULL or PARTIAL blobs to a STOCK or CUSTOM IPSW

1. FULL blobs stitched to a STOCK IPSW gives you a completely self-contained signed IPSW that iTunes will accept without any tricks (no need to go into pwned DFU mode, no need to start TinyUmbrella TSS server, no need to redirect to Cydia server for blobs)
2. PARTIAL blobs stitched to any IPSW requires you to go into pwned DFU mode before running iTunes.  No need to start TU or use Cydia though.
3. stitching either FULL or PARTIAL blobs to a CUSTOM IPSW also requires a pwned DFU start before iTunes restores.  No need to start TU or use Cydia though.
4. stitching is NOT yet supported on iPhones (well, at least not tested).  Need to work out the baseband part of the restore process.
5. will eventually support fetching the blobs directly from Cydia instead of a file on your computer
