How to Quickly Boot Your Tethered Jailbroken iPhone, Detailed Instructions for (Mac)

These are instructions on how to quickly boot your tethered jailbroken iPhone using RedSn0w for Mac.

In my previous article I told you guys that the iPhone Dev-Team has updated RedSn0w to easily boot devices that are running a tethered jailbreak.

New Redsn0w 0.9.6rc7 will help you boot your tethered jailbroken iPhone, iPad or iPod touch quickly, bypassing some of the screen that you will normally see when using Redsn0w for iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak.

We’ve updated redsn0w to include “one-click” support for those of you running the tethered 4.2.1 jailbreak. Using command-line arguments, you can now bypass the screens you’d normally see as you use redsn0w to “Just boot tethered for now”.

Step One
Create a Pwnage folder on your Desktop and in it place:
● RedSn0w 0.9.6rc7
● Your iPhone firmware ipsw (download here)

Step Two
Double click the RedSn0w archive to extract it.

Step Three
Launch Terminal from Applications:Utilities folder.

Step Four
Input the following command for devices with the new bootrom:

open ~/Desktop/Pwnage/redsn0w_mac_0.9.6rc7/redsn0w.app –args -j -i ~/Desktop/Pwnage/iPhone3,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw

Input the following command for devices with the old bootrom (iPod 2G, iPhone 3GS):
open ~/Desktop/Pwnage/redsn0w_mac_0.9.6rc7/redsn0w.app –args -j -o -i ~/Desktop/Pwnage/iPhone2,1_4.2.1_8C148a_Restore.ipsw

**Important: remember to change the filename to the filename of the ipsw you downloaded in Step One.

Step Five
RedSn0w will now open, instruct you on placing your iPhone into DFU mode if it isn’t already, and boot your device.
