Redsn0w 0.9.7 b2 is now available to download. Redsn0w 0.9.7 b2 update fixes some bugs that cause built-in app crashes. It also fixes the sudden close of task switcher. It is to be noted that this untethered jailbreak software for iOS 4.2.1 is still under beta testing and only those who don’t need ultrasn0w unlock should try it.






Redsn0w 0.9.7 b2 jailbreaks (untethered) iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch 4G. iPhone 3GS New bootrom users will have to wait a little longer to get the untethered support. The instructions to convert the tethered jailbreak to untethered on iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch 4G are same as mentioned here.
The known issues in Redsn0w 0.9.7 beta 1 are :

* Task switcher causes Springboard crash (temporary workaround is to use SBSettings process list).
* iPod player only works on ipt4g.
* Bluetooth currently disabled due to sandbox problem.

The first two issues/bugs have been fixed in Redsn0w 0.9.7 b2 but bluetooth is still non-functional.

Here is the official update from iPhone Dev Team’s blog :

This version should fix all the native app crashes (including Task switcher).  That’s the only change in from beta1….Bluetooth is still disabled.  If you had trouble using the usbmuxd in beta1, please wait until we incorporate that into redsn0w itself (i.e. don’t bother trying this beta2, just wait for the integration).


The instructions to convert the tethered jailbreak to untethered on iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch 4G are same as mentioned in our previous post.
