The iPhone Dev-Team have updated the one-click Jailbreaking solution, RedSn0w today to version 0.9.10b8 and in this new version comes the ability to automatically backup your iPhone’s activation ticket. Thus, in this how to guide you will learn how to use RedSn0w 0.9.10b8 to backup your unlocked iPhone’s activation ticket to preserve your unlock.
