MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team has just released an updated version of the Redsn0w tool. Redsn0w 0.9.14b2 helps to improve iPhone 3GS 06.15.00 baseband downgrade. This new release adds the DFU IPSW method into the tool.
For those who don�t know, Redsn0w now allows iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS users sporting the iPad�s 06.15.00 baseband to downgrade back to 05.13.04 baseband with a fully working unlock and GPS. All the users who were unable to get this downgrade to work last time should now be able to use the latest version of Redsn0w to do this provided that their iPhone qualifies for the downgrade.
The latest version of Redsn0w 0.9.14b2 covers three different types of NOR chips in the iPhone 3G and 3GS and the instructions on how to downgrade the baseband are similar to the last release. A new DFU IPSW method has also been added to this release of Redsn0w. This method helps those who have an iPhone with either a broken or intermittent home button to enter DFU mode with a IPSW file. This new feature can be accessed in Redsn0w by going to Extras -> Even More -> DFU IPW.
MuscleNerd stated that they have received a lot of feedback from users who couldn�t launch a DFU ramdisk because their iPhone home/power buttons were broken or intermittent and therefore we have added a new Redsn0w feature that allows users to enter DFU mode as long as their phone is healthy enough to restore to a normal everyday IPSW. Users do not have to be jailbroken already to use this method.
Redsn0w 0.9.14b2 is now available for download for Windows and for Mac users.
