Good news for those that loves to jailbreak. The Dev-Team has just released redsn0w 0.9.6rc9 for both Windows and OS X, which means magically easy jailbreaking for mere mortals like us peasants. This new update will support iPhone 3GS, 4 (GSM); iPod touch 3G, 4G; iPad 1; and Apple TV 2G — with just a few simple clicks.

Notice the missing of the iPad 2 which has iOS 4.3.1? Well, it seemed that Apple’s been working on some magic on the iPad 2’s iOS 4.3.1 and managed to tighten up its security to fend off hackers (for now). The reason the untether won’t work as-is on the iPad2 is that it requires a bootrom or iBoot-level exploit to install, and the iPad2 is not susceptible to either the limera1n or SHAtter bootrom exploits.

Also, ultrasn0w users have also been told to hang tight until there’s a compatibility fix — Dev-Team will announce on Twitter when this becomes available. As for those who are eligible for this new jailbreak, head over to Dev-Team’s website for the download links, and make sure you have the corresponding IPSW files handy as well — you can find them over at iClarified or on your favourite search engine.
