'''sn0wbreeze''' is a tool used to create custom [[IPSW File Format|IPSW]]s to restore, similar to [[PwnageTool]]. Can be used to jailbreak and unlock when making the custom IPSW. This is a GUI of [[XPwn]] for Windows written in C# (previously Visual Basic) and is developed by [[User:ih8sn0w|iH8sn0w]]. It is released under GPL v3 license, and previous versions source are available on [https://github.com/iH8sn0w/sn0wbreeze GitHub], however this violates the GPL.

Because versions of [[iTunes]] past iTunes 11.1 rehashes all of the restore [[firmware|firmwares]] used, restoring Sn0wbreeze CFW files on iTunes 11 and up is impossible.

The [[N72ap|iPod touch 2G]] and [[N88ap|iPhone 3GS]] need to be have the signature checks disabled beforehand. The [[S5L8900]] devices can enter [[DFU Mode]] and restore with [[iTunes]] without being jailbroken.

There are some problems with blacksn0w because it relies on the 3.1.2 CommCenter, and needs to be updated to the 3.1.3 version. If installed it will cause your iPhone to go into a boot loop.

sn0wbreeze is a tool used to create custom IPSWs to restore, similar to PwnageTool. Can be used to jailbreak and unlock when making the custom IPSW. This is a GUI of XPwn for Windows written in C# (previously Visual Basic) and is developed by iH8sn0w. It is released under GPL v3 license, and previous versions source are available on GitHub, however this violates the GPL.

Because versions of iTunes past iTunes 11.1 rehashes all of the restore firmwares used, restoring Sn0wbreeze CFW files on iTunes 11 and up is impossible.
