Jailbreaking your iPhone with the redsn0w tool can free you from the chains of iTunes and the app store, but doing it can sometimes jam or freeze your iPhone. How can you get back to normal if the worst happens? What kinds of steps can you take to make sure your adventures in jailbreaking are safe and fun?
Jailbreaking is a method of subverting the standard firmware of your iOS device. You do this so you can more easily install non-Apple approved software not available on the Apple app store. Also, you can do things you are not normally allowed to do like change boot logos etc.
If you are going to jailbreak your iOS device, then redsn0w (note the zero in the name) was a good option. The tool was developed by one of the best iOS hacking teams, the iPhone Dev Team, and was one of the most stable and easy to use tools for jailbreaking. Although the project is no longer updated as far as we can tell, if you have an older iPhone and earlier iOS it still works well and many people still use it.
