Redsn0w Options
Redsn0w is a little bit different jailbreak tool than other tools. Other than the installing Cydia, Redsn0w offers many extra features such as enable multitasking, enable wallpapers, enable battery percentage and more. Use the following screenshot to get more redsn0w options.
Ultrasn0w
Ultrasn0w was an iPhone unlock app, which was made by the iPhone Dev team. It needs a jailbroken iDevice to use this unlocker. It was possible to unlock your iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.1.1 firmware using UltraSn0w 1.2.7.
UltraSn0w Supported Baseband Versions:
iPhone 4: 1.59.00 (GSM only)
iPhone 3GS: 4.26.08, 5.11.07, 5.12.01, 5.13.04, and 6.15.00 (special iPad baseband)
Redsn0w 0.9 4 Mac Download Origin
iPhone 3G: 4.26.08, 5.11.07, 5.12.01, 5.13.04, and 6.15.00 (special iPad baseband)
However Ultrasn0w support stopped after iOS 5.1.1. Therefore it has no Ultrasn0w version for the latest Apple iOS version jailbreaks. Repo666.ultrasn0w.com repo is also not working now.
Pwnage Tool
Pwnage tool is another jailbreak method developed by the iPhone Dev Team just like Redsn0w.
Pwnage jailbreak releases for iOS 5.1.1 running iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. PwnageTool 5.1.1 is available for Mac OS X users only. PwnageTool creates custom iOS firmware(IPSW) to user-defined specifications just like snowbreeze.
PwnageTool also avoids sync issues, but again it applies only to A4+earlier devices. If you unlock your iPhone with ultrasn0w or a commercial method, you must use PwnageTool to avoid updating your baseband otherwise you’ll lose the unlock.
