    And today, the Dev Team has another new update for you.

    Redsn0w is a popular jailbreak tool for iOS. This new version doesn't tout any new features but there are some important mentions for some of you who are running a tethered jailbreak on iOS 5. Currently, the new version supports both Mac and Windows, and the download links are below:

    Redsn0w 0.9.9b6 for Mac
    Redsn0w 0.9.9b6 for Windows

    So what's new about Redsn0w? The Dev Team posted this on their blog regarding version 0.9.9b6:
    Quote Originally Posted by Dev Team
    Update #14: We’ve released version 0.9.9b6 of redsn0w, with both a functional fix and cosmetic fix for iOS5 jailbreakers. For iPhone3GS owners with the 06.15 baseband, this redsn0w eliminates the network crash you saw when using Location Services in iOS5 (in fact, you don’t even need to disable Location Services anymore during the initial setup). The cosmetic fix is to the visual countdown you see when going into DFU mode.

    It’s okay to re-run this redsn0w over an existing device jailbroken at iOS5. Just choose “Jailbreak” again and de-select Cydia (in other words, all the checkboxes will be unchecked). If you are lucky enough to have an old-bootrom iPhone3GS, please pre-select the IPSW first (redsn0w can’t yet auto-detect the FW version of your old-bootrom 3GS if it’s already been jailbroken).
    So basically, there are two fixes. One is cosmetic and one is functional. Cosmetic is of course referring to how it looks. The countdown part of Redsn0w that displays when you are putting your device into DFU mode had a small issue in the previous version that has been tweaked. The exact issue at this point in time is unknown.

    The functional update has to do with iPhone 3GS users who are jailbroken with Redsn0w 0.9.9b4-5 with the 06.15 baseband. Some of you reported a network crash when you used location services on iOS 5. The Dev Team is sorry about that and rolls out this new update to you guys that will fix the problem. You can simply plug in your iPhone 3GS and rejailbreak it with this version of Redsn0w right over the jailbreak that you already have. Don't worry, you won't lose anything. Remember that old-bootrom iPhone 3GS's will still be able to have an untethered jailbreak on iOS 5. But, be aware that if you do have the old bootrom that Redsn0w cannot auto detect your firmware and that you will need to specify it manually.

    So go ahead, download it, and have fun with your jailbreak!

      Cool...still waiting on the untethered JB, but it's great to see y'all are hard at work. Thanks! A quick question...if I do use the tethered jailbreak and I have to reboot my phone for whatever reason, what happens to my phone? Will it just boot into normal iOS5 and I lose the jailbreak...or will it prompt me to plug my phone into iTunes when i reboot? If i just lose the jailbreak, but my phone is still functional then I'll go ahead and go with the tethered JB...but if my phone is unusable 'til I can hook it up to iTunes then i want no part of it!

      You'll be stuck on the booting Apple screen until you plug it into a computer, put it into DFU mode, and boot it tethered. Just try it once, we all have to try a tethered jailbreak at one point in our lives.

      P.S. As I learned, you might find that tethered isn't really that bad. Just keep it charged up.

      Dang! Every time you post a jailbreak on this site it excites me into thinking the untethered jailbreak is finally out!

      Thanks.

      I always keep my phone charged since I have a charging alarm clock I set it on every night...but there is the rare case where something goes cooky forcing me into a hard reset or I update a cydia app that prompts me to reboot.

      *EDIT: Will respringing the devices also prompt me to plug my phone into iTunes, or is respringing safe for a tethered JB?

      I suppose I could just avoid doing things like that unless I'm at home and my computer is available.

      I have a question about tethered jailbreaking...

      Will a respring put you in a boot loop?

      Nope. All a respring does is restart the application named, "Springboard." It doesn't turn the device off.

      Respringing is fine. The only time you'll need to tether is when your device completely powers down.

      With iOS 5 it's not even worth the hassle until a true untethered one arrives. If they never create one I would be happy still as is. The only tweaks I use it for are theming so I'll wait.
