This is super simple, but this is a Tethered Jailbreak, not an UnTethered Jailbreak, so when the untethered version comes out, I will make sure to make a video for you.

Jailbreaking is something Apple of course doesn't want you to do, but its your iPhone, and in my opinion, you should be able to do whatever you want with it...

This is a Tethered Jailbreak, which I know, it sucks, but just make sure your iPhone doesn't go dead, or shut off, and you will not have to run RedSn0w again.

This is a very simple step by step video showing you how to jailbreak your iPhone which must be running 4.2.10 not 4.2.9 or 4.3.5 or 4.3.4 those need a different version of RedSn0w.

Here are some important points to note before you proceed.

This guide is meant for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS users only. This guide is not meant for iPod Touch and iPad users. iPad 1 users can checkout this step by step guide, while iPod Touch users can checkout this step-by-step guide.
Redsn0w 0.9.8b4 only supports a tethered jailbreak, which means that you need to connect your iOS device to the computer on every reboot.

# If you are on iOS 4.3.3 then you can use JailbreakMe 3.0, which is one of the easiest tools to jailbreak iPad, which supports a untethered jailbreak. You can checkout this postfor instructions.
# If you want to unlock your iPhone then please don't use this guide as Redsn0w doesn't preserve baseband. You should wait for PwnageTool for Mac or use Snowbreeze for Windows.
# Please note that jailbreaking your iPhone may void your warranty and hence proceed with caution and at your own risk.
# Please do not forget to backup your iPhone before you proceed. You can refer to this post for instructions on how to backup your iPhone.
#
If you've jailbroken your iPhone then you can use jailbreak apps such as AptBackup, PkgBackup or xBackup from Cydia to take a backup of all the jailbreak apps and tweaks so you can reinstall them easily after successfully jailbreaking your iPhone rather then installing them individually.
# After the jailbreaking process is complete, do not forget to checkout our article on tips to keep your iPhone secure.
# Please ensure you are running latest version of iTunes i.e. iTunes 10.2 or later.

We want to reiterate that if you want to unlock your iPhone then you shouldn't use this guide as Redsn0w doesn't preserve baseband.

You can follow these step-by-step instructions to jailbreak your iPhone and if you don't care about unlocking your iPhone:

Step 1: Download Redsn0w 0.9.8b4 (Mac and Windows) and save the application in a folder named "Redsn0w" on your desktop.

Step 2: You need to download iOS 4.3.5 and iOS 4.3.4 firmware files (use Firefox or Chrome to download the firmware file instead of using Internet Explorer or Safari):

iPhone 4:
Step 3: Double click the Redsn0w zip file and extract the application to the Redsn0w folder.

Step 4: Connect your iPhone to the computer, which should automatically launch iTunes.

Skip steps 5 and 6, if your iPhone has already been upgraded to iOS 4.3.5.

Step 5: From the 'Devices' section on the left pane of iTunes, select your iPhone device. Now, hold down the Shift button (Option button for Mac users) and click the 'Restore' button.

Step 6: Navigate to the Redsn0w folder on the desktop and select the downloaded iOS 4.3.5 firmware file (iPhone 4 users: iPhone3,1_4.3.5_8L1_Restore.ipsw, iPhone 3GS users: iPhone2,1_4.3.5_8L1_Restore.ipsw). Click on the 'Choose' button to let iTunes update your iPhone with the required firmware. You will be asked to setup your iPhone either from a previous backup or setup as a new iPhone, select the backup you want for your device (ideally should be the most recent one). Wait for iTunes to finish.

Step 7: Navigate back to the Redsn0w folder and launch the Redsn0w application. Windows 7 users should run the exe in Windows XP compatibility mode (right-click on the Redsn0w exe and select Properties, then select the Compatibility tab and select Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP). Windows XP and Windows 7 users should run Redsn0w as 'Administrator' (right-click on the Redsn0w exe and select 'Run as an Administrator').

Step 8: You will be asked to select the corresponding IPSW file. Click on the Browse button and select the iOS 4.3.4 firmware file (iPhone 4 users:

@crazy4GMH Usually with Windows, you're going to need an unzip program, like WinZip or something, its been years since I've used Win Computer.
