How to Use Redsn0w 0.9.6b4 to jailbreak an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch (iOS 4.2.1/4.2)

Jailbreak your iOS 4.2.1, 4.2 or 4.1 mobile device with Redsn0w 0.9.6b4!

One catch: If you're using an iPhone 4, 3GS (new boot ROM), iPad, iPod Touch 3g or 4g, this will be a tethered jailbreak. That is, you'll need to rejailbreak your iOS device every time your battery dies. Which is a bummer. But, hey, jailbroken iPhone/iPod/iPad!

To follow along, you'll need to download the latest version of Redsnow.

Apple's iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 updates are packed with new features, and you can try them before almost everyone else. First, check our list of supported iPhone and iPad models, then follow our step-by-step guide to install the iOS/iPadOS 26 beta — no paid developer account required.
