These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone 4 on the 4.3.3 firmware using RedSn0w for Mac.


Step One
Create a folder on your desktop called Pwnage

Download RedSn0w from here (https://sites.google.com/a/iphone-dev.com/files/home/redsn0w_mac_0.9.6rc15.zip?attredirects=0&d=1) and place it in the Pwnage folder. Likewise, download the latest 4.3.3 firmware from below and place it in the same folder.

4.3.3 (4 GSM): http://appldnld.apple.com/iPhone4/041-1011.20110503.q7fGc/iPhone3,1_4.3.3_8J2_Restore.ipsw

Extract the RedSn0w zip file by double clicking it.

Step Two

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.

RedSn0w will now guide you through the steps to get into DFU mode. You can find more help with DFU mode here (iClarified - iPhone - How to Put an iPhone Into DFU Mode)

Hold down both the Home button and the Power button for 10 seconds.

Step Thirteen
Once this is complete you will be notified that RedSn0w is done. Click the Finish button. When your iPhone finishes rebooting (5 minutes or so) it will be jailbroken with Cydia on the SpringBoard.

What is untethered and tethered jailbreaking???
 
Tethered jailbreaks require you to connect your device to your computer and boot it with software every time the device reboots or loses power. An untethered jailbreak does not. That is the only difference.
 
Thanks for the answer........is the untethered jailbreak for iOS5 is available.......

If yes, can anyone tell me how can I do that, cause as I update my iOS to 5 from the previous one the jailbreak was gone.......

There is no un tethered jailbreak for ios 5 atm

I have a Verizon iPhone with 4.2.8, is there a jailbreak for a newer version?

But I saw in a forum that, there is an untethered version using snow breeze.....

I don't know how authentic is that....

You can jailbreak 4.2.8 with JailbreakMe.com

Like Unleashed said, there is no untethered iOS5 jailbreak.

I did... But there is no newer version right... Other than 4.2.8

I dont have any shsh saves..I ve heard about the "ifaith" program".Could i use it to update and jj, if so how can i do guys..

Thanks for all the help..[FONT=&quot][/FONT]
 
If you don't have 4.3.3 SHSH there's no way to update to that firmware. You can jailbreak 4.3.1 with JailbreakMe

iFaith will only let you dump the SHSH for the firmware you are currently on(so you could dump your 4.3.1 SHSH in case you ever need to restore 4.3.1)

You cant go anywhere but 5.0.1 without shsh.

But if you do, you have to do it with a custom ipsw so you dont update your baseband or the phone will lock and will be unusable. Let me know if you need details
