Couple of days ago, the iPhone Dev Team released a new update for their popular jailbreak tool redsn0w. Redsn0w 0.9.9b9 aimed to bring support for iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak and to bring some new features along with some bug fixes. Today, the team released another minor update, 0.9.9b9d, to fix issues with iPhone 3GS users running iOS 5.0.1.
This update is meant for old-bootrom iPhone 3GS users only. If you don’t have an old-bootrom 3GS, you don’t have to worry about this new release. If you do have a one and you used Redsn0w 0.9.9b9 to jailbreak, you will probably have to download and re-run this new version.
Here’s the changelog:
Update #17d: iPhone3GS owners in our comments section below noticed a problem with the untethered jailbreak available for the old-bootrom 3GS. We’ve corrected that problem in 0.9.9b9d. If you have an old-bootrom 3GS and have already used last night’s redsn0w on it, you can re-run it again without losing anything. Just use this new version, go to Extras->IPSW and manually select the 5.0.1 IPSW, then go back and Jailbreak it again (but you can uncheck Cydia because it’s already installed).
