This is Luke from GuideMyJailbreak.com and today I'm gonna be showing you how to
jailbreak your phone, iPad or iPod touch with Redsn0w
so if you're not already on our website go ahead and go to GuideMyJailbreak.com for a complete
guide to jailbreaking
once you get there and you're watching this video
you're ready to start jailbreaking
the key difference between this video and other videos i've done
is that this jailbreak is tethered
and that's kind of unfortunate but you can still jailbreak if you want to
a tethered jailbreak means that every time you reboot your device
meaning slide to power off and shut it down completely
you'll have to plug it into your computer to turn it back on and all you have to do is do certain amount of
steps to turn it back on
so it's kind of annoying and you know no one really wants to do that but if you
really want to jailbreak, i mean here's how you do it. it's not that difficult and for
most people that don't really restart their device very much it's not a very big ideal
but it's not an ideal situation that you plug in your device every time you
you know every time you reboot
so let me go ahead and show you what i'm talking about
okay so say i had to turn my device off for some reason or it just died you would have to
open up this app, click on extras > click on just boot
click on next
then you'd have to hold on your power button for just 3 seconds
hold on both buttons for 10 seconds
let go of your power button and then hold on to that for 7 seconds
it will boot right up
so it's not that difficult to do but it's just kind of annoying
don't worry if you decide to do this we've had another video that just walks
you through how to just boot tethered that just skips straight to the booting part so you dont need to rewatch
this video every time
another good thing is that if you decide that you don't like it anymore after you jailbreak
you can always restore your device
and go back to how it was before and if you back up your device then it will all be the same
as it is right now and just to help you out we have another video in our FAQ
section at the top of this website that teaches you how to do that
so just to review, if you wanted to jailbreak to the jailbreak, after you jailbreak every time
you restart you'd have to plug in to your computer
jailbreaking add tons and tons of functionality so i think it's definitely
worth it but it's up to you so if you wanna jailbreak, keep on watching
your first step is to download redsn0w for your Mac. click on the link below and
download redsn0w
Okay, great. so you downloaded redsn0w now it's time to open it so go ahead and click on it
and then open the file that you downloaded to
in my case i went to my downloads folder
go ahead and double click on it
double click on redsn0w
on Windows your first step is to download redsn0w. go ahead and click on
redsn0w for Windows
click on open
double click on the folder
double click on redsn0w
click run
click run again
and now you're there
so now you'll see this window and I click on jailbreak
this next part is where it gets a little bit tricky. your next step is to plug in your device
turn it off completely
to do that go ahead and just click and hold the sleep button for about 5 seconds
slide to power off
if you can't turn off your device for some reason just skip the next step
okay for this next part you may wanna watch before you actually do it
what you'll need to do is immediately hold on the sleep button for 3 seconds
then
while you're holding onto the sleep button hold on to the home button for 10 seconds and then
let go of the sleep button
after you do this, you're done. so go ahead and watch this before you do it
and don't worry if you mess up the first time, you can always try again
so sleep button for 3 seconds
then both for 10 seconds
then after 10 seconds you let go of the sleep button and just continue holding on to
home button
hold on to the home button for about 8 seconds and then you're done.
okay so while that jailbreaks, i'm just gonna speed it up. so this is just jailbreaking
your phone, movie applications, things like that
so just wait for that to finish that could take up to 5 minutes and when that's done, watch the rest
okay so now that's finished, your device should restart and you should see the
Apple logo so wait for your device to boot up and you'll be ready to go
okay so once your device finishes rebooting
just slide to unlock and then you should try to find an app called "Cydia" that's been added to your
device
as you can see nothing's changed
just a new app called Cydia
so since your jailbreak is a tethered jailbreak
what you'll need to do is actually boot tethered
for the first time. until you do this for the first time you'll probably see Cydia
as a white or you can't click on it or when you click on it, it just closes
immediately so to fix that just keep on watching. okay so now that you've jailbroken
successfully
now you need to learn how to turn on your device
if it does turn off or if you need to reboot it. so to do that go ahead and open up that
redsn0w application again
click on extras > click on just boot > click on
next
hold on your power button for 3 seconds
hold on both buttons for 10 seconds
let go of your power button and then hold on to that for 7 seconds
it will boot right up
if you have any issues at all, make sure
to ask for help
at the top of this website there is a button that says "ask for help"
you can click on that and go right in and ask a question and someone will answer very quickly
so congratulations on successfully
jailbreaking your device. if you're ready to embark on making your device so much better
go ahead and click on the "Learn Cydia" button below.
Thanks for watching.
