This is step-by-step instructions on how to perform untethered jailbreak of your iPhone 4 on iOS 4.3.3 firmware using RedSn0w 0.9.6 rc16 for Mac OS.

UPDATE: Please, consider reading our Jailbreak & Unlock FAQ, especially if you have questions or troubles.

Important information.

Please think first, before you do something.

If you need unlock - do not update to 4.3.3, use PwnageTool 4.3.3.1 or Sn0wBreeze 2.7.3 to create custom firmware!

Step One

Create a folder on your desktop called Pwnage

Download latest version of RedSn0w from here. Save it in the Pwnage folder. Likewise, download the latest 4.3.3 firmware from below and place it in the same folder:

iPhone 4 iOS 4.3.3: iPhone3,1_4.3.3_8J2_Restore.ipsw

Extract the redsn0w executable from the RedSn0w zip file into the same folder by double clicking it.

Step Two

If you are already on iOS 4.3.3 you can skip this step.

UPDATE: Apple released iOS 4.3.4 that is only tethered jailbreakable with redsn0w. Apple has stopped signing iOS 4.3.3, so you can NOT restore to 4.3.3 any more (both original and custom), unless you have saved your SHSH keys for 4.3.3.

If you are on 4.3.3 just go to Step 3 and jailbreak. You can try to use jailbreakme on earlier iOS, but we have not tested it. Update to iOS 4.3.3 only is you have iOS 4.3.3 SHSH keys saved.

Connect your iPhone to the computer and launch iTunes. Create a backup, since all your data on iPhone will be erased.

Select your iPhone from the list of devices on the left. Now hold down Option and click the Restore button. Restore is preferred as it won't create any wasted space on your iPhone.

Step Fourteen

When your iPhone has restarted you can run Cydia. Let it do all the necessary updates.

To have access to the root file system of your iPhone (via file managers like iFunBox or iPhone Explorer) install application called afc2add in Cydia.

Step Fifteen

Do not forget to change your default password if you've installed openssh.

  1. У меня iphone 4, версия прошивки 4.2.1, прошивка модема 04.10.01. Американец, привязан к симке AT&T. Имеется гивей-чип. Могу ли я каким либо образом избавится от необходимости испорльзовать этот чип? Например установить прошивку 4.3.3 и сделать джэйлбрэйк? И вообще целесообразно ли это?
