Redsn0w 0.9.6RC9 Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 4.3.1 Released ! Here’s A Complete How-To Guide

Here’s how to-do it:

NOTE: Those of you who rely on a carrier unlock MUST STAY AWAY from Redsn0w and stockiOS 4.3.1 firmware. Instead, use PwnageTool (on Mac) or Sn0wbreeze (on Windows).

Step 1: Download iOS 4.3.1 for your version of iOS device.

Step 2: Update/Restore to iOS 4.3.1 firmware using the IPSW file you just downloaded viaiTunes 10.2.1.

Step 3: Start Redsn0w and point it to the official iOS 4.3.1 firmware file.

Step 4: Now select “Install Cydia” and click “Next”. Optionally (if available), you can also select any other option you like.

Step 5: Now make sure your device is both OFF and PLUGGED IN to the computer before you click “Next”.

At this stage you will be presented with a screen where you will be guided on how to enter DFU mode. Quickly hold “Power” button and then while holding the “Power” button, you will now have to hold “Home” button too. Now after few seconds release “Power” button but keep holding “Home” button until installation begins.

Step 6: Sit back and enjoy while Redsn0w does the rest for you. Once done, your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch will restart automatically and you will find it fully jailbroken (untethered) on the latest iOS 4.3.1 firmware.
