So PPC Mac users are currently SOL?

[Screwtape]

From what I gather, neither Pwnage Tool nor RedSn0w are working on PPC Macs. True?

If so, is there any way around that (other than buying an Intel Mac )?

Get someone's custom IPSW file or find a Windows machine I guess.

Yep, don't even need iTunes to use Redsn0w. Just a copy of the ipsw. Takes like 3 minutes.

redsn0w crashes under PPC as well.


Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you. I'd rather wait than use someone else's IPSW.

All you need is a copy of the 3.0 restore ipsw.

You can get a copy right off your own MAC if you have updated to 3.0 (User/library/iTunes/software I think)

Just copy it on a thumb drive and then to a Windoze machine. Run the Windoze version of Redsn0w and point it to your own copy of the IPSW you moved/copied.

Couldn't be easier or safer.
