Jailbreak iOS 4.3.1 Untethered Using Redsn0w 0.9.6 On iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

The iPhone Dev-Team has just released Redsn0w 0.9.6RC9 for iOS 4.3.1 untethered jailbreak. Here is a complete how to guide, for jailbreaking iOS 4.3.1 untethered on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Redsn0w 0.9.6RC9 and PwnageTool 4.3 use the iOS 4.3.1 untethered exploit that was first shown by Stefan Esser on video and later handed over to the iPhone Dev Team.

Previously, the only way to jailbreak iOS 4.3.1 was to do a tethered jailbreak using Sn0wbreeze for Windows and PwnageTool bundles for Mac.

Using this guide, you’ll be able to jailbreak iOS 4.3.1 untethered on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad 1 and iPod touch 3G and 4G.

Pre-requisites:

Download iOS 4.3.1 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

Download iTunes 10.2.1

Download Redsn0w 0.9.6 for Windows

Step 1: Download iOS 4.3.1 for your particular iOS device.

Step 2: Once download is finished, open up iTunes, press and hold Shift key and click on Restore to select the firmware file you just downloaded.

Step 3: Fire up Redsn0w 0.9.6RC9 and click on Browse. Then, select that official iOS 4.3.1 firmware file that you downloaded for your device earlier.

Redsn0w 0.9.6 will then begin to identify the ipsw, and will show the following message once that successfully completes.

Step 4: Check Install Cydia once the following screen comes up. You can also select any of the other options given as well.

Step 5: It is imperative that your device is both turned OFF and plugged into the computer. Once you’ve made sure of that, click Next.

Redsn0w 0.9.6 will then instruct you on how to put your device into DFU mode.

  • Hold the Power button for 3 seconds
  • Now, Hold Power and Home button together for 10 seconds
  • Release the Power button but keep holding the Home button until the installation starts

Step 6: That’s all! Redsn0w will now do the rest of the work needed to jailbreak iOS 4.3.1 untethered on your device. Once the automated steps have completed, your device will then reboot, and you will have your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running untethered jailbroken iOS 4.3.1.

Unlockers STAY AWAY! Maintain distance from stock iOS 4.3.1 if you rely on a carrier unlock for your iPhone. The iPhone Dev Team is working on updating ultrasn0w unlock for iOS 4.3.1, we’ll let you know once that comes out.

Let us know if you encounter any issues during this process.
