Redsn0w 0.9.12b2,PwnageTool,ultrasn0w and cinject all updated for 5.1.1 untethered-JB[UPdate~1]

[Sitlay]

Update #1:

Starting with version 0.9.12b2, redsn0w will now explicitly ask users with limera1n-able devices whether they want to inject rocky-racoon using the DFU ramdisk method or the backup/restore method (the ramdisk method is better for those with lots of media on their device that would create very large backups, and it’s required for those with unactivated iPhones). If you’ll always want to use limera1n, you can select that in the Preferences pane. It also fixes an iBooks issue on old-bootrom 3GS iPhones, and provides more useful error messages when things go wrong.

Pre-DC

With only a week to go before WWDC 2012 and the surprises Apple will announce there, today seems like a good time to release updates to our suite of free software to include the rocky-racoon jailbreak and untether developed by @pod2g and @planetbeing! Today’s updates are:

PwnageTool 5.1.1
redsn0w 0.9.12b1
cinject 0.5.4 (version 0.5.3 also had rocky-racoon but this includes some updates)
ultrasn0w 1.2.7 (5.1.1 compatibility only - no new baseband support)

If you’ve already installed rocky-racoon, don’t bother reinstalling it unless you’ve had problems and would like to try a different tool. The underlying untethered jailbreak (rocky-racoon) is identical to what is already installed by last week’s tools like Absinthe, cinject-0.5.3, and the rocky-racoon Cydia package — only the injection method offered by the above tools differs.



redsn0w allows owners of A4+earlier devices to install rocky-racoon two different ways:

backup/restore method similar to Absinthe and inject
its traditional limera1n-based ramdisk install. If you have a lot of media on your A4 device (music, movies, TV shows, etc), then the ramdisk method is preferrred because it avoids any possibility of later problems related to syncing to iCloud (including Photo Stream and Music Match). The ramdisk method is not available for A5 devices or later because limera1n can’t be used. If you’d like to use redsn0w’s ramdisk method, just be sure to put the A4 device in DFU or Recovery mode before starting redsn0w (otherwise it will immediately start to use the backup/restore method).


We’ve also added a new redsn0w feature specifically for those who got in on the SAM unlock: you can now include your SAM tickets as part of your initial ramdisk jailbreak of iPhone4 or earlier, or alternatively you can upload your SAM tickets to any device after its been jailbroken. redsn0w accepts either the individual SAM activation ticket plist file, or the entire zip file created by redsn0w’s “Backup” button. As usual, redsn0w continues to cover all of its previous jailbreaks and untethers (so redsn0w-0.9.12b1 covers everything from 5.1.1 all the way back to 4.1).


PwnageTool also avoids any possible sync issues, but again it applies only to A4+earlier devices. If you unlock your iPhone with ultrasn0w or a commercial method, you must use PwnageTool to avoid updating your baseband otherwise you’ll lose the unlock. PwnageTool will also jailbreak+untether the AppleTV2,1 5.0_2B206f (unless you customize the IPSW further, you’ll have just basic SSH access to the device).

If you’d like to contribute to those that actually developed rocky-racoon, please visit here (any other links you may see are not going to the actual rocky-racoon developers, they’re being diverted to other “related” or fraudulent accounts).


This particular jailbreak brought an unusual amount of fanfare and hoopla to the table, including “press releases” and other haughty silliness. We’d just like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that jailbreaking is about freedom, not fame and donations!

The A5 iDevices can NOT be restored to iOS 5-firmwares which are not signed by apple! No matter if you saved blobbs or not, since the required-low-level-exploit is still missing.
Momentarily the downgrade is only possible due to a flaw in the signing-process of the iOS 5.1.1 on the the Apple-side.

the chances are high, that the succeeding iOS 5.1.2 or iOS 6 or whatever will fix this flaw/hole. So A5 uses should be curious.

What?? Uhhh no dude that's NOT correct. There is still NO WAY to do local restores with the A5 devices. Once Crapple stops signing iOS 5.1.1 then A5 users are back to being fucked off without a Jailbreak if they need to restore!

Aye Sinful!

Could you please enable iOS 5.1.1 in the "your detail"-area? So the members can edit their details accordingly? I can choose 5.1, only.

THX for all effort!

Umm Sinful......?

The older version of Redsn0w (0.9.11b4 I think) already created a way to downgrade to 5.1.x/5.0.x using SHSH blobs
I think you slipped up there

for you i would say i redsnow because you can make a custom firmware...that is if youre 3gs is on 6.15 and you require unlock...other than than theyre about the same. this was my first time using something other than redsn0w. i like them both but redsn0w gives you more options.

...only possible until NEXT iOS ! Read devteams Blog "5X redux" the 4th Point . Then you will know why it is only a temporary possibiliy!

Thanks for the recommendation I would like to use the best bug free tools possible to avoid restoring/rejailbreak too many times, thanks again

Is there any likely possibility that this limitation will be overcome soon? Is any progress being made on solving this?
