Sn0wBreeze is a Jailbreaking tool that has existed since the iOS 3 firmware generation and has continued to be maintained by its developer iH8Sn0w to this day. It can be used to Jailbreak the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and even Apple TV 2G, but is limited to iOS devices featuring an A4 chip. This means devices older than the iPhone 4S, iPad 2 or Apple TV 3G.
Redsn0w 0.9.15b3 (tethered iOS 6 jailbreak for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G; untethered for iPhone 3GS with old bootrom). Download version 0.9.15b3 for Mac OS X. Jailbreaking is the process of removing Apple software restrictions for iOS devices. Jailbroken devices authorize root access on devices and it will let you install apps not available on the Apple app store. Jailbreak developers achieved root access through exploitation of vulnerabilities that exist on iOS versions, as well iOS devices.
One of the benefits of Sn0wBreeze is that it allows for greater Jailbreak customization. This is because unlike tools like RedSn0w or GreenPois0n that Jailbreak your device in its current state, Sn0wBreeze creates a custom iOS firmware file (IPSW) that will need to be restored to your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad or Apple TV before it will become Jailbroken. This is has its pros and cons, with the biggest con being that you will lose all the data on your iOS device.
Sn0wBreeze is just a GUI (graphical user interface) for Xpwn, which is a command-line implantation of the PwnageTool that is maintained by Planetbeing. This means Sn0wBreeze is essentially just a shell that makes it easy to interact with Xpwn on Windows through an easy to use interface. Without Sn0wBreeze you would have to use terminal commands to create custom firmware files on Windows.
Sn0wBreeze Device Compatibility
As mentioned previously, Sn0wBreeze is only compatible with A4 iOS devices and does not support newer devices like the iPhone 4S, iPad 2 or Apple TV 3G. You can take a look at the devices and firmware versions Sn0wBreeze currently supports below. Keep in mind that we will update the Sn0wBreeze compatibility chart when new versions of Sn0wBreeze are released to ensure it is always up to date.

How To Download Sn0wBreeze
Sn0wBreeze was created by a single developer by the alias of iH8Sn0w. You can download the latest version of Sn0wBreeze from the official iH8Sn0w website, along with all of his other utilities. iJailbreak also maintains a downloads section that always contains the latest version of Sn0wBreeze. Visit the iJailbreak Downloads Section and download the version of Sn0wBreeze that is bold. This signifies that it is the latest version.
The Basics Of Sn0wBreeze
Sn0wBreeze is a Jailbreaking tool that Jailbreaks your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad or Apple TV when you restore it to one of the custom firmware files (IPSW) it creates. This method of Jailbreaking allows you to specify advanced features like the root partition size, pre-installed packages and custom boot logos. It can also remove the baseband update found in iPhone iOS updates, which is useful for unlockers. The downsides to using Sn0wBreeze is that it indeed means your device must be restored, thus losing all your data currently residing on the device. It is also common to run into iTunes errors when trying to restore the custom firmware file it creates for a number of reasons including not entering DFU Mode correctly, USB port malfunction and firmware corruption.
The difference between a Tethered and Untethered Jailbreak

Due to the fact that Sn0wBreeze supports a wide variety of firmware versions, it will Jailbreak both Tethered and Untethered. This is because not all firmware versions are able to be Jailbroken Untethered. An Untethered Jailbreak means that your device will function as normal once Jailbroken. A Tethered Jailbreak on the other hand is different. It means that when you Jailbreak you cannot power your device off. When you do this while your Jailbreak is Tethered it means in order for your device to turn back on you will need to plug it into the computer and re-run RedSn0w over again. Once you do this your device functions as normal… no data is lost. Hence the term tethered, because you are Tethered to your computer.
Now why would a Jailbreak be Tethered? Well the only reason a Jailbreak would be Tethered is if the developers behind the Jailbreak for a specific firmware version are having a hard time Jailbreaking it. If this is the case often times they will release a Tethered Jailbreak and then an Untethered Jailbreak later on once they find a suitable exploit.
How to launch Sn0wBreeze correctly
Sn0wBreeze has to be launched a certain way on Windows to avoid problems later on. In order to launch Sn0wBreeze correctly you will need to ensure you grant it administrative privileges by right clicking it and selecting the run as administrator option. This will ensure it has the proper permissions to create a fully functioning pre-Jailbroken IPSW.

- iFaith Mode: Selecting this mode will allow you to create a custom IPSW containing previously saved SHSH blobs. This will allow you to downgrade your iOS device to a previous firmware version, but will not Jailbreak it.
- Simple Mode: This mode will begin creating a custom pre-Jailbreak IPSW without selecting any customization options. Once you click this button Sn0wbreeze automatically begins the IPSW creation process.
- Expert Mode: This mode will present to you options for customizing your Jailbreak before creating your custom pre-Jailbroken IPSW. This includes setting your root partition, selecting pre-installed packages etc.
- Baseband Preservation Mode: This particular mode is only useful if you wish to upgrade your iPhone to the latest firmware version without updating your baseband. It will not Jailbreak your iPhone in the process.
If you select the Expert mode option then you will come to a new screen that has even further customization options split up into five additional sections.
- General: The general section contains customization options such as enabling battery percentage, hacktivating the iPhone, installing SSH and setting your root partition size.
- Unlocks: If your iPhone is running a baseband version that can be software unlocked then this section will be available. Very few baseband versions can be software unlocked, so it is unlikely this section will be available.
- Custom Boot Logos: When custom boot logos can be applied to your iOS device this section will be available. Custom boot logos will replace the default Apple logo that appears when your reboot your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.
- Custom Packages: This section will allow you to specify pre-installed Cydia packages that will automatically be installed on your iOS device. You can browse through a variety of repositories and even add external ones.
- Build IPSW: Upon clicking the Build IPSW option your custom firmware file will begin being created.

iReb is a tool created by iH8sn0w, designed for Windows and Mac that will put your device in a DFU Pwned jailbreakable state so that you can use a custom firmware on it. The main purpose of this tool is to allow users to bypass iTunes errors when downgrading and restoring.
Most users, when recovering a custom firmware, using with PwnageTool or Snowbreeze, encountered several iTunes errors such as error 1600 or other like 1015, 1604, etc. these errors appear each time when both of the mentioned programs were used in order to install a custom firmware. These errors, though are not quite pleasant, they also lock the restore process and interfere with other features such as the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
In this respect, to fix all these annoying errors and problems users complained about, iH8Sn0w developed this tool for Windows users, without which no users is able to complete the recovery process for any custom firmware on any Apple device. iREB R7 for iOS 7 is now available and it will fix the iTunes errors 1015, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, and in the same time, it will successfully complete the restoring process for the iOS 6.1.3 downgrading.
Initially released compatible with Windows only, iREB was proven to be of a great help for all those who encountered problems and errors when uploading the custom IPWS. Now, fortunately, we have the possibility o download iREB on Mac, as well. The Pwned DFU tool is now available for Mac OS X. this means that users running Mac OS X 10.4 and upwards will be able to fix errors on iDevices running iOS 3 up to iOS 7.
The Windows version offers a pretty simple GUI and instructions on how to enter DFU mode, while the Mac OS X version, on the other hand, is plainer and it runs in a terminal window. It is worth mentioning the fact that Mac OS X version does not offer instructions, but it works in the same way as the Windows version does.
Now, in order to make everything clear for you, before you start the iREB download, here are some things you need to keep in mind. First of all, as I stated above, the tool is compatible with both desktop operating systems, meaning Windows XP / Vista / 7 and Mac OS X 10.4 and above.
In the same time, if you download iREB R7, for instance, you will be able to use it on iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS (old and new BootROM), iPhone 4, iPod Touch 1G, 2G (MB and MC), 3G, 4, iPad and Apple TV 2. At this point, if you download iREB R7, you will not be able to use it on new A5 / A6 processor devices since it does not support such devices. However, I am sure that this is only a matter of time since the developers will definitely find a way to solve this issue as well.
Download iREB and Enter Pwned DFU Mode
If you are facing various iTunes errors while restore the iOS, then you should definitely have the latest iREB download. This will allow you to install any custom firmware you want on your iOS-running device, and now, by using both Windows and Mac OS X. however, the first step is to create the custom IPWS you want to upload. For this, you can use a tool like Snowbreeze or PwnageTool they can easily help you save the SHSH blobs as well as to create that cooked IPSW that you eagerly want.
Once you decided to download IREB on your device, everything will go smoothly. The tool is actually pretty simple and easy, and its purpose is pretty clear. First, as imagined, you should start the iREB R7 download. This is the latest iREB version available at this point. Launch the program while you connect your device to your computer. Choose your device using the right mouse button. Next, enter your device in the DFU mode as usual by holding the power button and the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds.
If this goes well, then, your device should be in Pwned DFU mode in no time and the iTunes errors should forever disappear. At this point, you can restore using customized IPSW firmware with the help of iTunes.
