Download Sn0wbreeze 2.8b8 To Jailbreak iOS 5 On Windows

by Ahmed Omar on October 5, 2011

Following the release of Redsn0w 0.9.9b3 to jailbreak iOS 5 GM, Sn0wbreeze 2.8b8 also released now by the popular iPhone developer known as iH8sn0w. Sn0wbreeze 2.8b8 brings the ability to cook a custom firmware of iOS 5 GM which is pre-jailbroken.

Sn0wbreeze 2.8b8 features:

  • INSTANT IPSW detection
  • UDID Developer check removal is no longer needed.
  • Still has the ability to hacktivate.
  • Still preserves the baseband

Again and again I have to tell you that this jailbreak is tethered for all devices except iPhone 3GS old bootrom. Also iPad 2 is not getting any jailbreak at the moment, neither tethered nor untethered.

In case you’re using Mac OS X, you can try the latest released Redsn0w 0.9.9b3 to jailbreak iOS 5 GM. Untethered jailbreak of iOS 5 is expected  after when it goes public.

    i used tinyumbrella and ran its service, then started to load the custom ipsw with itunes but after the snowbreeze icon shows up on the iphone with just a tad bit of the bar progressing, it just stops and itunes gives me error 10. the iphone gets stuck in tethered mode and that the only way to boot it, had to restore to 4.3.3 to get it back
    what am i doing wrong? this has happened at least 3 times, same result with error 10

    load 4.3.3 on it, u will need to boot it up using redsnow in tethered mode, then do the restore of custom 4.3.3 ipsw

    what i used to do on my hackintosh, was use the first iphone enabled itunes.
    yes, 8.x.

    i put said device into dfu, and then shift + restore the desired ipsw
    it didnt phone home, and worked,

    i tried it with a majorly unsupported version by itunes 8 (in dfu and worked) note: it would not do it in normal or recovery boot mode.

    so something seems to be working

    Will “updating” to a untethered JB be simple after this?

    Open My Compuer/Windows/System32/Drivers/Etc then right click on Host and open it, delete the whole lines with gs.apple.com, save it then try restoring it.

    The sn0wbreeze 2.8b8 worked for my Ipod Touch 4g. But the Cydia app won’t open. It crashes as soon as I open it. Also when I selected the “Install SSH files’ option. I cannot use WinSCP to gain access to my iPod Touch.. Any ideas people??? Seeing this is only beta 8. I really don’t have much concern until the proper version comes out.

  • Matrices Man

    Oh never mind I found out. For those who have problems with jailbreaking with sn0wbreeze’s 2.8b8 here are some steps.

    1) create the ipsw
    2) follow the DFU instructions and let the iREB ‘tweet’ your iPod Touch or iPhone
    3) In iTune Shift + Restore to find the new Jailbroken 5.0 Firmware
    4) Let the iPod Touch or iPhone restore (if error 2003 or 2009, redo it)
    5) When iPod Touch or iPhone has a lockscreen, etc Put iPod Touch or iPhone in DFU mode again.
    -Hold Power and Home for 10secs- -Release Power button until in DFU mode-
    6) Run iBooty – this puts your iPod Touch or iPhone in a jailbroken state
    7) Cydia and SSH files should now work <XD

    Hi Matrices,

    Just to confirm, I need to put my iPhone to DFU mode and boot using iBooty (which are steps 5 and 6 on your comment) right after iTunes restore process?

    Cydia won’t open in my iPhone, I did not proceed to steps 5 & 6, I thought I will only use iBooty when my iPhone got its battery empty.

    Thanks, hope for helping me (newbie) >.<

    Legend of a man. I have been struggling with redsn0w and almost ready to throw my ipod at the wall until i read this. Thank you

    how do u download it to ur computer

  • Mike Roark1975

    cydia will not open

  • Univu26

    To help cydia to open, go to your desktop and click iBooty and just reboot your phone, follow the instructions and once you’re done, Cydia should open. Hope this helps!
