Hey guys so today I'm here with a tutorial showing you how to jailbreak
your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad on the latest iOS 4.3.1 firmware and it's
going to be an untethered jailbreak which is definitely what you want.
So before we begin there is a couple things I want to go over really
quickly here, the program we're going to be using is redsn0w, redsn0w
is a very very good program, been using it forever and it has now been
of course updated to work on 4.3.1. Now redsn0w is available for both
Windows and Mac so pretty much you should be covered across the board.
So we can go ahead and just jump straight on into the jailbreak, the only thing you're
going to need in addition to redsn0w is your firmware file, the IPSW for
your device. I will have a link in the description both to download redsn0w
as well as if you don't know how to get your firmware file, you can either
download it or you might already have it on your computer, that's pretty simple.
So of course check out the links in the description for all that kind of
good stuff. Actually let's close this out, one thing I want do want to mention
is that if you're on Windows, if you're on a Mac you don't have to bother
with this but if you're on Windows you need to right click redsn0w, especially
Windows 7 or Windows Vista, come over to the Compatibility and click
run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack 3.
That will help, some people have problems on Windows 7 as well as on
Vista so do that and also have it run this program as an administrator.
So once you do that it should run no problem and you shouldn't have
any problems and of course if you're on Windows XP or on a Mac you
don't have to worry about that. So we open it up and the first thing is that
it's going to want to ask to browse for our firmware so we can just do that
and it will take just a second to process the firmware. Once it successfully
identifies the IPSW we can click next. It will take just a moment to prepare
the jailbreak data and everything. One thing I do want to mention is that
you of course need to be on iOS 4.3.1 for the jailbreak, it should be
pretty obvious but if you're on some earlier firmware you do need to
update via iTunes and then run redsn0w or of course if you're already on
4.3.1 you're going to be good to go. Again that is pretty obvious but I
want to make sure that you guys are not trying to jailbreak the wrong
firmware or something a little bit silly like that. So we're almost done here,
there we go and now it's going to provide us with a few options. This will
vary a little bit between if you have an iPod or an iPad or whatever
the most important thing is that you can install Cydia, that's obviously
what the whole goal of this is. You can install custom bundles but that's
only if you know what you're doing that's not really necessary for most
people. If you have an iPod touch you can enable battery percentage
so definitely want to do that. It also has options to boot tethered if you
had a tethered jailbreak but of course that's not what this is so we don't
need to worry about that. So now we can click next and go on to the
next step. Okay so the next step is to run the program itself. Now before
we begin there is one thing I do recommend, plug your device in via
USB and allow it to fully sync with iTunes. Now by doing this you will
backup all of your data, your apps, your contacts all of that kind of
good stuff will be all backed up in iTunes. Now while you should not
lose any data in the jailbreak there's always a possibility of something
going wrong and by doing that you're going to be good to go, you
don't have to worry about any of that stuff. So once you've done that
just go ahead and turn your device off, I've already done that, just hold
the power button, slide to power off, just make sure that the pinwheel
stops spinning and all that kind of stuff and we'll be good to go. Next step
is to put it into DFU mode. Now I will show you guys how to do it but
there's also a countdown so we can do that really quickly here so we'll
start holding the power button for three seconds, now start holding
the home button as well and we do the power and the home for ten
seconds and then we're going to release the power button. So of
course we allow the program to just count us down and so give it
just a moment and then let redsn0w do it's magic. There we go, so it's
going to go ahead and run through the whole program and I will
be right back as soon as it's done. All right so as you guys can see
here that only just took a moment and if we scroll to our last page
we will now see Cydia so if we open it up, while we wait for it to stop
hanging and then we'll open it up, there we go. It will say preparing
filesystem, Cydia will exit when complete. So there we go guys,
that's it, that's a quick and easy way to jailbreak your iPhone, iPod touch
or iPad on iOS 4.3.1. So anyway guys if you enjoyed, if you found this
