It is seems that every time Apple issues a new software update for its iOS devices, a jailbreak angel is losing its wings. This time around we have iOS 4.3.5, which we've seen get official already as Apple is interested in patching more security flaws. iOS 4.3.5 is Apple's second security update to iOS in the last week and a half or so--Apple released iOS 4.3.4 on July 15, which fixed the flaw that Jailbreak.me 3.0 took advantage of.

As we know, earlier today (Monday), Appel released iOS 4.3.5, a security update that patches a flaw in its handling of security certificates. If you're looking to jailbreak 4.3.5, though, here's some good news: "MuscleNerd" of the iPhone Dev Team decided he would check to see if Redsn0w would successfully jailbreak the minor update. You can, however there are still a few pitfalls. Users should download the update via iTunes when their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is plugged into their computer, just as easy as the process about how to transfer music from ipod to computer. The new update iOS 4.3.5 has come up with a patch to shield iOS from PwnageTool. But hackers have no rest. Immediately after its launch, "MuscleNerd" of the iPhone Dev Team announced that he could jailbreak it using Redsn0w tool.

Redsn0w is another tethered jailbreak exploit. You need to tether your iDevice with a computer (both Mac and Windows) for the process of jailbreaking. But once you reboot the device, the jailbreak will be removed. That means you will have to again tether the device with a PC for jailbreaking. Redsn0w will work on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad original and iPod fourth generation. Interestingly, it won't again run on iPad 2, the device JailbreakMe 3.0 could jailbreak.

Redsn0w will work on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad original and iPod fourth generation. Interestingly, it won't again run on iPad 2, the device JailbreakMe 3.0 could jailbreak. The new iOS version also includes some other security patches. Apple used to bring out security updates for its iOS whenever there is a challenge from jailbreakers.

The downside of upgrading to iOS 4.3.5 and then performing the jailbreak is that you'd only get a tethered jailbreak solution. In other words you'll have to plug the smartphone into the computer in order to boot it into a jailbroken state every time a rebooting occurs. But that's still better than nothing, and I'm sure many of you would agree. If you rely on an unlock as well, then you'll have to make sure that you preserve the baseband of your iPhone 3GS or early iPhone 4 model before going through with the iOS 4.3.5 upgrade and jailbreak.

If you're on iOS 4.3.5 and are willing to give this a try, you can download the neccessary files for Redsn0w and then following the steps on Redmond Pie's website.
