The wait is finally over! The iPhone Dev Team has just released redsnow, a jailbreak and unlock (orig iPhone only) that works not only on the iPhone 3G and 1G iPod Touch, but more importantly, on the 2G iPod Touch as well. It works similar to QuickPwn so the whole process should be pretty easy. However, the current version doesn’t work on Mac OS X systems still running on PPC. Likewise, all the precautions mentioned in the iPhone 3.0 jailbreak should be taken, and this doesn’t work on the iPhone 3G S as well. Apart from that, there have also been quite a number of complaints and problems being reported in the comments section.
Needless to say, worry-warts out there will have to probably wait for a newer version to be released before trying this one out on their Apple device. Nonetheless, if you’re brave enough to give this new jailbreak a go, then by all means, download redsnow from their blog now and don’t forget to hit us up in the comments section below as we’d love to hear how it turns out for you.

redsn0w.exe crashes during jailbreak every time. Im using vista and redsn0w v0.72. I cant even restore to 2.2.1 without getting error 1601, so for now i have a pretty brick on my desk.

Installed it yesterday, so far everything works, except the battery drains very fast.
I hope this gets fixed soon.
Anybody has noticed this?
Any advice?
June 23rd, 2009 at 11:06 pm
indeed the battery drains insanely quickly, i went to bed with 60% on it, and in the morning the alarm didnt go because the iphone had a dead drained battery…i hope it gets fixed quickly

Brandon, this may work for you?, when you use redsnow to jailbreak and do the… hold down power button then hold down home button then release power button.. keep the home button held down until the instal has finished, as I had redsnow crash on me but when i kept the home button down it worked. Hope it helps you

Redsnow worked perfectly on my iPhone with 3.0. I have jailbreaked before but this by far was the easiest and worked so quickly without any problems!
July 1st, 2009 at 8:36 pm
Installed it on a Touch 3.0 and it worked flawlessly, until I tried using Cidia and nothing would download properly. It saiD something about a “dependency cycle”. Please respond if you know what the hell is going on!!!

Alex, I experienced the same thing. The problem was caused by selecting ‘Icy’ during the jailbreak. Try jailbreaking again with that option unselected.
This is the first time I’ve jailbroken my iPod Touch 2G. The whole OS feels sluggish and I experience Springboard crashes. I guess that’s the price for cutting-edge? Back to stock OS.

WARNING WARNING my 2G Battery drains in less than 1 day!!! phone is very hot when it’s plugged into charging cradle even when it is not charging. this is awful. Anyone know what the solution is. is it the 3.0 firmware or redsnow itself? if I revert too 2.2 will this go away?
July 15th, 2009 at 8:59 am
Erm..can anyone tell me that..should I update my iPod touch to version 3.0 before I jailbreak it..or can I jailbreak my iPod touch version 2.2.1 with firmware 3.0….? O.O
July 15th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
