Dev Team have released a beta version of the redsn0w jailbreak for iPhone OS 4.0, version 0.9.5, so that developers of applications for jailbroken iPhones can fix or improve their apps before Apple releases iPhone OS 4.0 later this year. Jailbroken iPhones have been around almost as long as the iPhone, but with each new iteration of the iPhone operating system hackers have become faster at developing exploits for jailbreak users.

redsn0w 0.9.5 is a beta release with limited functionality. Right now, it only supports jailbreaking iPhone OS 4.0 beta 1 on iPhone 3G hardware and the tool only runs on Mac OS X. The iPhoneDevTeam also notes that the beta firmware overwrites the baseband firmware, so it's not compatible with carrier unlocks at this time.

The iPhone Dev Team showed jailbreak possibility last week and just after that George Hotz, an independent iPhone hacker, posted an image about jailbreaking iPhone OS 4.0 with blackra1n. The new redsn0w 0.9.5 beta tool works only on Mac and that too with iPhone 3G to jailbreak iPhone OS 4.0 beta. Also, this beta tool just jailbreaks the iPhone OS 4.0 beta and doesn't hactivate (carrier unlock), so resist using this tool.

The Dev Team on Thursday released a beta version of its redsn0w jailbreak software specifically for iPhone OS 4.0 devices. Don't get too excited, however, as the Dev Team warns its redsn0w 0.9.5 beta release is meant for developers only. Regular users should not try to use this software, even if you have access to the iPhone OS 4.0 beta, because it will break your carrier unlock and many of your jailbroken apps. You also shouldn't try using the beta release if you're using jailbreak software like yellowsn0w, blacksn0w or ultrasn0w. Redsn0w 0.9.5 Beta currently works only on iPhone 3G devices, and will not work for the iPhone 3GS or iPad, according to the Dev Team.

The Dev team says the redsn0w beta does not reveal any new information about the Dev Team's work to Apple, meaning that Apple likely won't be able to thwart redsn0w 0.9.5 when it is released to the public.
