Despite purplera1n’s release not too long ago, the iPhone Dev Team has gone ahead and released their own version of an iPhone 3GS jailbreak entitled redsn0w.

Redsn0w 0.8 is reportedly “a stable jailbreak (unlike purplera1n)” so users who were having problems with GeoHot’s jailbreak might want to check this one out.

You can head over to the iPhone Download Blog for a tutorial on how to use redsn0w. Remember, proceed at your own risk.

iPhone 3GS owners will not be able to unlock their handset right now but everyone still playing with an iPhone 3G that’s running iPhone 3.0 can now unlock it. The iPhone Dev Team has clear instructions for you so all you have to do is backup your phone and use Ultrasn0w to unlock it:

1. Ensure you have upgraded to iPhone OS 3.0
2. Jailbreak your iPhone 3G using redsn0w or PwnageTool (this will also install Cydia/Icy)
3. Run Cydia or Icy
4. Please add the repo repo666.ultrasn0w.com to Cydia or Icy. That last “o” is actually the number zero “0”! If you use the letter “o” you’ll get an error.
5. Search for ‘ultrasn0w’ in cydia or icy and install ultrasn0w
6. Reboot your iPhone 3G
7. T-Mobile USA users should disable 3G before using ultrasn0w
8. Enjoy

As far as we know redsn0w was supposed to appear only later on but the iPhone Dev Team has decided to launch a beta version of it. iPod touch owners will be able to jailbreak that iPhone firmware with this beta version and the best part of it is that the Dev Team has included support for Windows, Linux and OS X. No matter which OS you use for your computer, redsn0w will work for you. Check it out by following the link before and tell us how it all works for you.

You might be tired of this phrase but I’ll have to repeat it! The iPhone Dev Team has done it again. They said redsn0w was coming and it was delivered. MuscleNerd from the Team has done the same thing he did with yellowsn0w. He demoed redsn0w on video proving this time that the iPod touch 2G is vulnerable and it can be jailbroken.

The jailbreak is pretty smart too. It manages to escape Apple’s anti-jailbreak function which is supposed to stop the device from booting in case a jailbreak code is detected. Expect a redsn0w release soon then. And we’ll announce it when it arrives!

The iPhone Dev Team has decided to move to the next objective. After unlocking and jailbreaking the first iPhone and iPod touch and then the iPhone 3G the Team will jailbreak the iPod touch 2G. The hackers have posted a rather cryptic message on their blog which hints at the jailbreak of the newest iPod touch.

Here’s the message:

Well it isn’t a British Thermonuclear Device.
It isn’t an episode from “The Twilight Zone”
And it certainly isn’t iPhone 3G related (right now)
There is one other device…
It fits in your pocket..
What can it be?

The new project is codenamed redsn0w and it might arrive as soon as next Sunday.
