Redsnow Semi-Tethered Jailbreak Complete
Brandon DavenportStage 2 of the RedSn0w project has got the public exited. Scince the release of the infamus yellowsn0w, iPod touch and iPhone owners have been able to unlock the many hidden pleasures inside there iphone/touch. On the release of the iPod touch 2g, owners were left scratching there heads.
The iPod 2g Could NOT be jailbroken! This meant, while your cool friends had all there themes and cracked apps, you were left with a crummy ol' virgin iPod, untuched by the glorius code of yellowsn0w. Like me, you've sat on the redsn0w site hitting the refresh button a few times, in frustration.
About a week ago, the dev team released redsn0w lite, basicly a normal jailbreak, but... when you try to boot the iPod it looks like its bricked, and it is. The thing is the iBoot (whitch is like the bios) does not accept the custom firmware because of the new proccessor (See here) which is faster than the previus models, even the iPhone 3g.
Being o-so-clever, apple decided to hush the joy of apple fans by not allowing the firmware to be loaded by the iBoot. But we all no, in this day in age... if its got a chipset in it and it runs, than by-golly WE MUSS HAX IT!!!! So they did just that... Ladys and gentlemen, I give you
