 MuscleNerd (@MuscleNerd)7/5/12 6:10 AM redsn0w 0.9.14b2 at is.gd/ZXwnxF improves the 06.15 baseband downgrade and adds niche "DFU IPSW" feature twitpic.com/a40mlk |
Happy 4th of July! Today's release of redsn0w 0.9.14b2 improves the iPad baseband downgrade and should cover anyone who couldn't downgrade with 0.9.14b1. This version covers 3 different types of NOR chips in the iPhone 3G and 3GS (the earlier version covered only the most prevalent NOR chip). We've also simplified the process and added logging to help diagnose any remaining stubborn iPhones.
The revised steps are:
- Connect your iPhone in normal mode, then click "Jailbreak" after redsn0w identifies its model and BB version (you needn't pre-select the IPSW anymore).
- Choose the "Downgrade from iPad baseband" option (you needn't worry about de-selecting Cydia anymore).
- Do a controlled "slide to power off" shutdown of your phone and proceed through the normal DFU ramdisk steps.
Should the downgrade fail to take, feel free to leave the redsn0w log in the comments below. Use the "Extras->Even more->Backup" button to grab a copy of /var/mobile/Media/redsn0w_logs, then extract the log text file(s) from the zip and paste them into the comments (currently that log file is generated only during baseband downgrade runs).
NOTE: The original warning about 3GS units manufactured in early 2011 or later still holds! They have a NOR chip that's incompatible with 06.15.00 and so trying to install it will brick the device. Please read and re-read the warning in our earlier post.
Thanks to bobmutch and drh for lending us their iPhones to improve the baseband downgrade!
