In the previous FSM release, we took a first look at the newly released RedSn0w 0.9 from the iPhone DevTeam. Although this is still in beta stages, works really good, and you can use it at will ( the only reason why it is still a beta, is because it does not support all devices yet ). This is just a step by step tutorial. Before using the tool, please read this first.
FSM EXCLUSIVE DEAL What you need?
- iPhone or iTouch
- RedSn0w 0.9 beta 3 [ Mac or Windows ]

- Make sure iTunes is up to date, and restore your iDevice with 3.1.2 FW.

- RedSn0w will check if you chose the correct firmware ( IPSW ) and it will start patching it
