RedSn0w Free Download to Jailbreak and Unlock iPhone 2G and 3G or iPod Touch 1G and 2G

Redsn0w is a multi-platform, multi-device unlocking and jailbreaking (iPhone 2G only) soft tool for the original iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G (but not iPhone 3Gs), first generation iPod Touch 1G and second generation iPod Touch 2G on firmware 3.0. Redsn0w is available for both Windows and Mac OS X users. Redsn0w replaces and provides functionality that similar to QuickPwn, earlier version of jailbreaking tool for firmware OS 2.2.1.

Redsn0w was initially released as Redsn0w Lite which allows tethered jailbreak 2nd generation iPod Touch 2G, which has never been jail-broke before, which has the disadvantage of iPod Touch cannot boot without assistance from a tethered computer. Redsn0w Lite subsequently evolves to support semi-tethered jaibreak where iPod Touch 2G can be rebooted, but jailbreak functionality will be lost.

Subsequently, iPhone Dev Team published Redsn0w beta, the first iPod Touch 2G jailbreak Tool for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Initial beta only runs from command line with no GUI interface though, until Redsnow 0.7, which has since been updated to Redsn0w 0.7.2.

• iPhone 3G with firmware OS 3.0 at baseband 04.26.08
• iPhone 2G with firmware OS 3.0
• 2nd Generation iPod Touch (2G) with firmware OS 3.0
