The iPhone DevTeam updated Redsn0w to include “one-click” support for those of you running the tethered 4.2.1 jailbreak. Using command-line arguments, you can now bypass the screens you had normally see as you use Redsn0w to “Just boot tethered for now”. Below are the instructions on how to quickly boot your tethered jailbroken iPhone using Redsn0w for Mac.





Note : All download links are given at the end of the guide.


Quickly Boot Your Tethered Jailbroken iPhone (Mac) [How To] :


1) Create a Pwnage folder on your Desktop and in it place:

● RedSn0w 0.9.6rc7
● Your iPhone firmware ipsw


2) Double click the RedSn0w archive to extract it.



3) Launch Terminal from Applications:Utilities folder.


4) Input the following command for devices with the new bootrom :

open ~/Desktop/Pwnage/redsn0w_mac_0.9.6rc7/redsn0w.app --args -j -i ~/Desktop/Pwnage/iPhone3,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw

Input the following command for devices with the old bootrom (iPod 2G, iPhone 3GS) :

open ~/Desktop/Pwnage/redsn0w_mac_0.9.6rc7/redsn0w.app --args -j -o -i ~/Desktop/Pwnage/iPhone2,1_4.2.1_8C148a_Restore.ipsw

Note : Remember to change the filename to the filename of the ipsw you downloaded in Step 1.

5) Redsn0w will now open, instruct you on placing your iPhone into DFU mode if it isn't already, and boot your iPhone.
