The tool to create custom IPSWs to restore, by iH8sn0w.



A new version of the Sn0wBreeze tool for Windows is out. This one helps you to make a CFW and preserve your BaseBand.

iH8sn0w has released a new version of his jailbreaking Windows (only) tool Sn0wBreeze, which helps you create custom iOS firmware images from user-defined specifications. This one is similar to PwnageTool.

v2.9.5 has been released. Here's the changelog:

v2.9.5
  • Added 5.1.1/9B208 untether payload for the iPhone 4 GSM.
  • Added iPhone 3GS (iPad Baseband users) location services fix.
v2.9.4
  • Added the 5.1.1/9B206 untether that was released with today's absinthe update.
  • Added 5.0/9B206f (Apple TV 2) support.
  • Minor UI changes (thanks @icj_!).
  • Bug Fixes.
Also, take note of the following:

A5(X) Support?:

As stated many times in the past, sn0wbreeze cannot be updated to work on A5(X) devices until a low level exploit in DFU or iBoot is found and made public. Therefore, A5(X) users will have to rely on using the lovely absinthe.

A5(X) Baseband Preservation/Hacktivation?

For those running A5(X) devices and need to preserve your baseband, there is nothing you can do at the moment. For those wanting to hacktivate, the only advice I can give is to buy the carrier's SIM (the one its locked to obviously) on ebay. The SIM does not have to be active with the carrier to activate the phone.
