A lot has been said about either geohot and/or devteam working on an untethered jailbreak, but is this really true? I mean it’s been over two months now and no release, so I wonder if they’re just waiting for a new firmware version to come out and work on that other one instead.

Is redsn0w 0.9 better or is sn0wbreeze better in terms of battery duration? I used to jailbreak my 3gs (older bootroom) with blackra1n, and now I have redsn0w, and it seems like my battery dies sooner with redsn0w than it did with blackra1n…is it possible or is it just me?
thanks!!!

@Musclenerd yes you are right at the moment redsn0w is cool enough. Preinstalled .deb files isn’t a big issue but baseband update is a matter of concern. Majority of jailbreaker don’t have a Mac.

And props to whole Dev team for making our life so easier.

If people actually make use of installing custom .deb files, we can add it to redsn0w easily enough. (And it wouldn’t require a full restore like sn0wbreeze does for custom .deb files). I just don’t see any real demand for that right now though. That’s the only “customization” difference between the two tools right now.

So the question is, is there actually a demand for that sort of thing?

I am using blackra1n now, but the problem with it is whenever I turn off my phone, I’ll lost all wifi functionality until I do a network setting reset. I really want to have this problem resolved. Would you recommend redsn0w?

@Eddie Both redsn0w and sn0wbreeze are in beta, both are are currently restricted to “tethered” rebooting. But Sn0wbreeze is more effective than Redsn0w due to more control over customization options.

Would be nice to describe if redsnow is better than blackra1n
