custom firmware question

**goliath6900** · 11-04-2010, 04:42 AM

are the custom firmwares specific as to which jailbreak software you use? for example if i download a custom firmware, can i use Redsnow or Pwnage to build the SW?

A custom firmware is pre-jailbroken, no need for any additional tools to jailbreak. You may however need one of those to prepare the iphone to accept the custom firmware depending on your situation.

i have iphone 4 ios 4.1. can i use either software to build?

If you are already on 4.1 there is no need to make a custom firmware. Just jailbreak with either limera1n/greenpoison/redsn0w. Either of the three should work fine.

custom firmware will probably be useful when upgrading from 4.1 to 4.2 but only time will tell. until now I would recommend using limera1n, its fast and easy.

Also make sure to save your SHSH for 4.1 while you still can if you haven't already.
