I downloaded snowbreeze 2.5, downloaded the ipsw file, and downloaded iReb. I started snowbreeze and for the life of me I can't drag ipsw into snowbreeze. I don't even know what I am supposed to be dragging in there. What am I missing? Am I supposed to have my phone connected to itunes while doing this? I tried browsing for the ipsw file and I am having no luck with that either. I guess I need a better tutorial because I am just dumbfounded.

there is no drag and drop, here's what you do:


1)Have iTunes closed, and your phone does not need to be connected.

2) Open sn0wbreeze, it will ask you for the IPSW when you click with a window, find the IPSW you downloaded for your device.

3) there are some settings in sn0wbreeze choose the settings you want, I would not do any unlocks or anything really, once you're done hit create custom IPSW (bottom right) and hit next, then wait while it creates a custom IPSW, which will end up on your desktop. Close sn0wbreeze when done.

4) connect your phone, turn it off

5) open iREB and then choose your model. It will tell you on-screen how to put it in DFU mode, you hold power + home for 10 seconds, then let go of power and continue holding home till you see iREB doing something (maybe 5-10 seconds), let go of home and let iREB do it's thing.

6) when it says done you will have a black screen on your phone, but it is in DFU, open up iTunes

7) in iTunes if it says it detected a device in recovery, just hit cancel, then in the phone tab, you should see "restore" hold shift and hit restore, and choose the IPSW it put on your desktop (not the one you downloaded initially) and hit ok, it will now flash the jailbroken IPSW to your phone.

Any idea on Ipad2 jailbreak ETA?

Thank you!

When I try to browse for the ipsw, I go to the folder I downloaded and it won't let me pick anything. I see no ipws in that folder or anywhere else that I can choose. I downloaded it from the first page of this thread. Do I have the wrong folder?

iOS 4.3.2 is supposed to drop next week, after that I think they will work on a new jailbreak, no sense in releasing that is going to get patched in a week.
