    hey, it says the that the ISPW isn’t compatible to the redsnOw…. 9.15b2….. Can you help?

    • john says:

      This DOES NOT work with an iPhone 4 as the ipsw is NOT valid in any version of redsn0w and even if you get a valid ipsw to work you will never get the location services screen instead it’ll just skip to ‘Activation Failed’ insert a sim card

    I have an iphone 4 ios 7.0.. Can i activate it without sim card..now i stuck on activation screen..

  62. Nadya says:

    Hey I have an Iphone 4 with ios 7.0.4 and downloaded the latest version of redsnow and my firmware file (I wasn’t sure if my phone was GSM or 8GB so I downloaded both). It keeps saying that the IPSW isn’t supported by the version of redsnow. /i even attempted to restore the IPSW and it’s unavailable. Is it just me doing something wrong or did it not come out yet?

  63. Nadya says:

    Also to say I downloaded redsnow with google chrome and it asked to zip, so I took the advice to download it with Mozilla and it self-zipped. (P.S. I LOVE how I am getting math equations for verification….I don’t like math) (:
