need help with redsnow 4.3.1 jailbreak!!!

[chinalong1983]

hi, guys, today I tried to use redsnow 0.9.6rc9 to jailbreak my iphone 4 that runs 4.3.1, but I got problem when I tried to run the program. I got problem that the the jailbreaking process stopped in the middle says " uploading ramdisk" and it is not moving forward, meanwhile in my iphones' screen it says" Downloading jailbreak data",,,,, that's all, then nothing happens,,,,I tried to stop and restart the process, it is the same... anybody has experienced the same thing? Is there solution for this,,,thanks so much..

Are you on Windows? If so, redsn0w needs to run in XP compatible mode with administrator permissions.

Are you on Windows? If so, redsn0w needs to run in XP compatible mode with administrator permissions.

And if you're in Vista and STILL having problems, then run it in Windows 95 compatibility mode.

And also make sure that if you're using Tiny Umbrella, close it.

yes, I am on Windows 7

Hi, I have a iPhone 4 that's factory unlocked and running on 4.3. I dont care about baseband, so are there any other way to just skip all the ipsw part and jailbreak my device?

Thanks

I did, and it just have the screen popped out and my only option is to browse for a file which I assume the ipsw.

It is.

Browse to it and the the next bit is all redsn0w (just literally doing mine as I type this).

If you have installed 4.3.1, it's already on your computer. No need to download it again.

FYI they do that so they arent distributing apple code, if they did apple could shut them down with copyright claims.

alright im starting to wonder now. i tried JB'in this morning with pwnagetool and i had no service afterwards. now im using redsn0w and it continually hangs up on the "waiting for reboot" portion. im on a Mac. can someone give me some insight? this isn't my first time jailbreaking but it's never been this way. i have tinyumbrella set to use Cydia now. earlier i tried with the option unchecked. help!
