**Jailbreaking with Red Snow: A Step-by-Step Guide**

In this video, we will take you through the process of jailbreaking your iPod or iPhone using Red Snow. This is a simple and straightforward process that requires just a few minutes to complete.

To begin, make sure that your device is connected via USB and you have a stable internet connection. If you've used older jailbreak programs like RedSn0w in the past, this will be familiar territory for you.

**Step 1: Prepare Your Device**

Hold down the Home and Power buttons on your iPod or iPhone until the screen goes blank. This may take about 20-30 seconds. Ignore the "Slide to power off" message and continue holding the buttons until the device reboots.

**Step 2: Connect to iTunes**

As soon as the device reboots, it will automatically connect to iTunes. You can now release the Home and Power buttons.

**Step 3: Jailbreak with Red Snow**

Now that your device is connected to iTunes, you're ready to begin the jailbreaking process. Select the "Jailbreak" option on the Red Snow interface and follow the prompts to complete the installation of Cydia.

**Additional Customization Options**

If you want to customize your boot logo or recovery image, now is the time to do so. You can select from a range of options, including the ability to add a new boot logo without re-jailbreaking your device.

**Already Pwned Option**

If you're already jailbroken and just want to update your boot logo, you can use the "Already Pwned" option. This will save you time and effort by skipping the full jailbreak process.

**Wait for Completion**

Once the jailbreaking process is initiated, Red Snow will take a few minutes to complete. You'll see a progress bar indicating that the data is being downloaded and installed on your device.

**Final Steps**

As soon as the process is complete, you'll have Cydia installed on your device and a new custom boot logo will be applied. This is a great time to explore the jailbroken features of your iPod or iPhone.

Red Snow has proven to be an efficient and reliable tool for jailbreaking devices. Its user-friendly interface and quick completion time make it a popular choice among users.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys what is up it's Duncan and today I'm here with a tutorial on how to jailbreak your iPhone or iPod touch using red snow now you guys might know Red Snow that's a program used before to jailbreak but it's been updated for 3.1.2 um and it allows some really cool things such as changing your boot logo so yeah let's get this one started okay guys so before we begin we got to do a couple things obviously first of all we're going to need to download red snow but before we do that I want to make sure that you can go ahead and do this okay so so there's a couple things that you need to do one you need to be running either a Windows PC or an intel-based Mac if you have a power PC Mac or an Linux computer it will work but not right now um they're still working on adding that functionality um I don't know exactly when it will be ready but it will be ready fairly soon so if you've got one of those computers you might need to wait a little bit um and also if you have an iPod Touch third generation Red Snow currently does not support it um and even when it does most likely it will be tethered so it's not really going to be that different so if you have an iPod Touch third generation you kind of add luck for the moment anyway so if you have one of the supported devices and you're on either a Windows or an intel-based Mac you're good to go so you go ahead come to this link which I will have in the description um and I will recommend go ahead read through this um I should cover everything but it never hurts to you know know just a little bit more about it um anyway so go ahead read if you like and then you need to come to the download links now there's going to be two download links one for Intel base Maxs up top and one for windows down bottom I'm I'm using Windows 7 right now so this will be for Windows so just download whichever you want and uh we'll go ahead and go to the next step okay so now that you have red snow downloaded um just unzip it I prefer to put it on my desktop as always but you know wherever is convenient to you now you're going to only need one more thing and that is going to be your ipsw or your iPod or iPhone firmware uh the firmware is real simple uh if you don't know it's obviously just what runs the device and red snow is just going to uh basically edit it very slightly uh so that basically you can get Cydia and be jailbroken so it's really simple um now there's a couple ways of getting the firmware if you happen to have the firmware handy you know you've you you've jailbroken before and you've saved it in a file go ahead you can just skip this next step just bring it out to your desktop um otherwise if you don't have the firmware um it's really simple you can download it if you need to but you really shouldn't have to because iTunes will automatically download it for you um so if you have ever if you've had your device for any amount of time there's a really good chance that iTunes has uh has it saved so to find that um in Windows 7 you're going to need to hit Windows key R um and this will open the Run command um and obviously the Run command is in XP and Vista as well you just open run it doesn't matter how you do it okay so now I'm going to want you to do this it's very simple you do percentage sign app data percentage sign that simple okay so just type in exactly like that then hit okay okay so now you will see that we have we go into the app data file okay now it's real simple you need to go now I believe in XP it does not automatically put you here here basically you just need to go to roaming Apple computer iTunes and then iPod software updates okay so to say that again you go into app data roaming Apple computer iTunes and iPod software updates might seem a little bit complicated but it's not a big deal just go into that file and you will see the ipsw and it would be your iPod so in my case is iPod Touch second generation and it's the firmware 3.1.2 okay very simple so now I recommend go ahead and copying it leave the file in here but just copy it and go ahead and put it on your desktop so now that you have it on your desktop we're ready to begin technically um but there's a couple optional things you might want to consider before we actually begin the process and that is boot logo and Recovery logo um now one of the big things and probably the main reason you want to use red snow is that it supports boot logos and Recovery logos and the custom okay so before you you begin you might want to take a pause and go find one or go make one or whatever um it's real simple it just needs to be a PNG file it's not huge and obviously 320 by 480 so make one find one Whatever obviously you don't have to get one but it's probably the main reason you're doing it so as you see here I have my two so now you have red snow downloaded you have your ipsw and you have your boot logo and Recovery logo ready to begin okay so now we are ready to begin now there's only one thing last thing you want do hopefully you guys figured it out but uh yeah you're going to need to remember to take your iPod touch or iPhone and plug it into your computer via USB I've already got this done um now be sure to if iTunes pops up make sure it's closed obviously you don't want iTunes running you want to have everything closed so now that you have your iPod hook or iPhone hooked up via USB it's time to go ahead and open up red snow so just go ahead and double click it now it's going to be really simple you just read real quickly and all you got to do is Click browse okay now at this point look for the ipsw the firmware we just got um wherever it is obviously mine's on my desktop so just go ahead and click it and hit open and just give it one second to process the firmware okay so now at this point it will give you a little prompt if you're on an iPod touch and this is very important to make sure that you're not on an updated iPod Touch such as a third generation or a newer second generation okay now to check it's very simple as you can see here it says is this an MC model of the iPod Touch second generation okay so at this point all you need to do is open up your iPod or iPhone obviously you're going to have an iPod um hit settings General and about and on the bottom you will see your serial number and if it starts with MC then you do not need to use red snow because it is not supported that's the best way to do it and it's very simple so assuming that it is a older iPod Touch second generation go ahead and you are good so you can go ahead and click no okay so now we're in red snow it's successfully identified the ipsw go ahead and click next now give it just a minute it's going it's going to prepare the jailbreak data so it's going to patch up the kernel and uh do some other things this is really simple just give it a second now you can go through the options obviously you want Cydia um you can leave the boot alone if you if you want to customize that you can but really just I would just leave it unchecked um now you're going to need to go into the custom boot logo and custom recovery logo so obviously I have both you don't have to use this but that's probably a good reason so I'm going to go ahead and click my boot logo here and same with my recovery logo um now also you can do the already pwned option and that is to just add a new boot logo without having to re red redestro re jailbreak your iPod or iPhone uh so that's really simp simple if you've already been jail if you're already jailbroken you just want to add a new boot logo you can just do that and then it'll it'll just be a lot quicker but we're jailbreaking from scratch so you're good now go ahead and click next and now we'll go ahead and show you guys how to do it okay so once you get this popup it's going to be really simple all you're going to need to do is make sure that your iPod or iPhone is connected via USB and you're ready to begin okay so if you ever done this before you've ever use red snow or some of the older jailbreak break programs you'll know what to do it's really simple just take your iPod and then you need to hold the home and the power button and you need to keep them held down till this message disappears might take you 20 30 seconds or so I'm going to go ahead and do it with you okay so one but hand up here one down here and you start holding it it's really simple um now you see It'll say slide to power off totally ignore that and keep holding it and in just a second illustr to reboot and still keep holding it until that message totally disappears okay so still keep holding it just one more minute and then you will see just one second it will say connect to iTunes and you will be done so you see here it does take there we go okay so now we're done here and now you see that it is uh going through it and it's uploading everything and as you see here it was that simple now it says downloading jailbreak data and we are basically done um as you see here it will probably take three four five minutes something like that uh to let Red Snow finish up but obviously you see that it says downloading jailbreak data um it will take a minute because the iPod will have to reboot several times and iTunes will recognize it and stuff but it's really simple you're done um so like I said wait four five minutes whatever um and then basically your iPod will be totally the same as it was before the only difference will be that you will have Cydia and you also have a new boot logo so let me go ahead and cut here let it finish up and show you guys uh the jailbroken device okay so as you see here guys I have my custom boot logo and yeah it's finally restarting so let's go ahead and give it just a minute and it should be good um so yeah guys that's about it for Red Snow uh you know I got to say I'm pretty impressed with red snow uh it works really nice really fast and everything and here we go right here so it runs really nice and smooth as you can see guys right down there I had Cydia so as you see guys it's really nice it's smooth um it does not take very long which is is pretty cool and uh if I forgot to mention this it I I had I I did a customer store before I did this video because I before I tested it but uh if you already have like let's say you have your phone obviously full of you know data apps all that kind of stuff it's going to stay the only different changes Red Snow makes is to the recovery the boot logo and it basically will patch it so that you can add cyia so that's pretty cool anyway guys that's about it uh Red Snow I I definitely like it and it works really good anyway thanks for watchinghey guys what is up it's Duncan and today I'm here with a
