  2. are we able to jailbreak a 3gs with the redsn0w if we don’t need the unlock?

  3. sorry…it is a little confusing….If I have just purchased a new 3rd gen Touch, I cant jailbreak if I already updated to 3.1.3?

      1. ey my iPhone 3Gs updated via iTunes but when I put the file on my Desktop (iPhone2,1_3.1.3_7E18_Restore) then I go to browse via the redsn0w 0.9.4 window, it keeps coming up with, Unable to recognize specified IPSW. So what do I do now cause my T-Mobile Sim card will not work in my phone anymore because of this update.
        Hurry Plz Help I need my phone!

        1. Hi Sukii

          ****Run redsn0w 0.9.4 and click on browse. Point it to the iPhone OS 3.1.2 firmware

          Dont point to ((iPhone2,1_3.1.3_7E18_Restore) FIRMWARE

          1. Hi Salem,
            I understand what ur saying but how do I get the firmware ipsw cause that is all I saw to download. Can you plz send me the link to download the Firmware?

    TY

      1. I am a certified PC Technical Engineer, I know very well how to follow sensitive instructions. Therefore, I am telling you that I followed the instructions completely & now that my iPhone has been updated to the 3.1.3 version my phone is reading the 5.12.1 firmware & your instructions only produced the stop result of it will not go pass the, Unable to recognize specified IPSW in the redsn0w 0.9.4 window. What should I do now?

        1. LOL … if you knew how to follow instructions mr certified pc technical engineer you wouldv’e read that it doesn’t support the 3GS … lol.

        2. Sukll

          Please refer to the part about the downgrade.

          By technical engineer do you mean repair man?

        3. by the way buddy… it says to get the 3.1.2 software… idiot…

      2. same problem here but when i go look for the iphone3.1.2 restore but it doesnt show up it only show up the iphone3.1.3 restore only

    1. I agree I have been trying it several times doing as per instructions & I cannot go any further because of the, Unable to recognize specified IPSW. By the way I have WIN 7 on my PC does that matter?

      1. For all of you getting the ‘unable to recognize specified IPSW’ message you should NOT be clicking the 3.1.3 IPSW, you should be clicking the 3.1.2 instead (similar to the 3.0 -> 3.01 situation)

        However since Sukii, you appear to have a 3GS this ‘trick’ won’t work

        it is only for iPhone 2G/ iPhone 3G / iPod touch 1G and Non-MC ipod touch 2G

        …if your on a 3GS you need to downgrade first, and in order to downgrade you need to have grabbed your sig with sauriks util

        Bear in mind if you do manage to downgrade and then Jailbreak, you still won’t have an unlock due to upgraded Baseband, same applies for the iPhone 3g until, and if an exploit is released

        1. Mart, you seem smart, what does it mean when a message comes up when you pressed the download redsnow 0.9.4 saying 403- Forbidden

      2. the instructions say to use 3.1.2 software , not 3.1.3 (even though you have updated to 3.1.3, redsn0w 0.9.4 isn’t programmed to recognize the latest firmware, but works properly by using 3.1.2), which is why Imran told you to read the instructions (which was somewhat rude rather than just giving you the answer).. anyhow.. even after you jailbreak it there still isn’t an unlocking tool for you to use your t-mobile sim card, which is again in the instructions. hope this helps

        1. TY so much Pointbrink!
          Yes he is rude but thats how some geeks r cause they know we depend heavily on them. However, if he is a real geek then he would’ve had the solution for those of us who lost our unlocked 3GS phones due to this Apple upgrade.

          Have a good one & if you get any good news for unlocking the 3GS new versions plz holla @ me!
          Thanx again!

          1. Sukii,

            maybe the author is rude ( i honestly dont think so, because all he did was tell you to use your little brain and READ the article – is that so hard for you? or do you have to be baby-fed? ), maybe he is a geek ( although, you stated that you are a certified PC technical engineer ( a geek ) – LOL – and you can’t follow a simple guide? – in my mind that makes you a deek ), but YOU are clearly incapable of doing simple tasks as reading and following a guide.

            Besides, i dont think you know squad about “pc technical engineering” so lets just say you’re a liar. And it’s people like you that make my day by fking up their precious iPhone.

            To get on topic – thank you Imran for this extremely EASY to follow guide.

  5. yo i tried this process and it just stays on the waiting for reboot and thats about it, i tried the steps and just stays theres

    1. make sure you have got the correct 3.1.2 firmware file for your device I have been making that mistake for a day or two now and finally realised and it worked first time

  6. I have been trying to jailbreak my 3g. My redsn0w doesnt tell me to hold any buttons for 10 seconds it only says hold power and home buttons till you see the help message. after that it does it’s thing but the iphone screen goes blank. and then finally it tells me that the rest of the process takes place on my iPhone. and its done my screen is still blank and stays blank. any help?

  7. IT CLEARLY SAYS DON’T TRY WITH IPHONE 3GS, JUST 3G!!!!!! sukii ur screwed!!!!!!

  8. Dear All,

    I believe they say to use redsn0w on firmware version 3.1.2 and not 3.1.3. We are only expected to upgrade to 3.1.3 but reds0w is to be used on 3.1.2 firmware.

    Steven

  9. Hi, where can I get the 3.1.2 ipsw file from? In my appdata, I accidently updated to 3.1.3, so now there is no 3.1.2 file there :(

    Please help me, as I am unable to use any of my cracked apps now :(

  10. Should Verbose boot be checked? In the screen shot it is, but in the instructions it is not mentioned as a must

    I’ve tried this process now three times with my 2G iPhone and I keep getting the same results.

    After I see progress bars on my WinXP PC for patching the kernel and restarting my device, RedsnOw greets me with the message “The rest of this process tkaes place on your device. Done!” with the option to Finish.

    The screens pictured above in steps 8-9 are never visible.

    Once I click finish my phone reboots and it displays the “connect to iTunes” screen.

    Help please?

  11. Yah , i confirm the jailbreak doesnt work on a ipod touch 3g on MC series !!!! Blackrain stay the best for jailbreak !! be patient !!!! Go work GeoHot !!!!! we wait for Rc4 ;P

  12. ok it tells you where to look for the software updates for vista and win 7,where would i find this in XP?

  14. i hava an iphone 3gs 32gb, and i updated it to 3.1.3 without noticing what will happen..
    i tried everything like the instructions, and after the program says ‘done.’ e pressed finish, and nothing happaned. now i have turned it off and turned it on again and its the same..
    i need it unlocked.. what can i do?
    do i have to wait for new software or what?
    hug.

  15. So my old 2 g can still be unlocked sweet how sad we only remember geohot and the frodo look alike dude when apple decides to throw us he finger. Thanks frodo and geohot maybe is better to wait until ipad is released

  17. I don’t have 3.1.2 update, but i do have 3.1.1 and it can’t reconize

  18. I don’t have 3.1.2 update, but i do have 3.1.1 and it can’t reconize

  19. the link to download redsn0w does not work. when i click it says it is Forbidden.

  20. the link to download redsn0w does not work. when i click it says it is Forbidden.

  21. hey I,ve looked for the update thing but i cant find it the folder the instructions say to look in is empty and my ipod already had 3.1.3 on it can i do it without the upate thing?

  22. hey I,ve looked for the update thing but i cant find it the folder the instructions say to look in is empty and my ipod already had 3.1.3 on it can i do it without the upate thing?

  23. when i try to download redsnow it goes to a new page and says 403- forbiden

    what should i do?

  24. if this does not work for you make sure that you do not select Already pwned in step 6 as this will make you iPhone stick at lit screen

    In step 6 only select cydia option

  25. Is this proposed Jailbreak solution a tethered or non-tethered Jailbreak? I have a new Iphone (5 days old) with 3.1.3 on it now. When it was a 3.1.2 phone, I tried to run BlackRa1n on it but I learned the hard way about the difference between tethered and non-tethered Jailbreaking solutions.

    I am looking for a non-tethered Jailbreak solution because I cannot afford to be caught away from my computer when my phone needs to be rebooted.

    Please advise….

  27. So my old 2 g can still be unlocked sweet how sad we only remember geohot and the frodo look alike dude when apple decides to throw us he finger. Thanks frodo and geohot maybe is better to wait until ipad is released

  28. blackra1n doesn’t work for me, only supports 3.1.2. I have an iPod Touch 2G, followed the steps until browsing for the firmware (mine is called iPod2,1_3.1.3_7E18_Restore.ipsw) and like some people above me, it says Unable to recognize specified IPSW. Wish there could be a fix, or more precise directions on this matter.

  29. Not working for me so far (3G). It doesn’t show the screen after step 9 (“Please use the following instructions to enter DFU mode”). Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

  30. Ok so I got passed everything (after several attempts) but it says “uploading ramdisk”. It has been about a minute. I have no idea if I have itouch 3g but I bought it in November. Will it work? I too had the problem about recognizing the ISPW. But somehow I got through that. How long should it take?

  31. accidentally upgraded to 3.1.3, and this
    does not work on my iphone 3gs 16gb – I am stuck here for a bit I guess.

    but I have to say this 3.1.3 firmware is at least a bit more stable then 3.1.2

    I am waiting for the blackra1n to come out!!!

  32. After updating to 3.1.3., the 3.1.2 firmware is no longer inside the iPod Software Updates folder. Are we supposed to retrieve that to complete this jailbreak?

  33. I accidentally updated my just bought iPhone 3Gs to OS 3.1.3 after the new OS was released for 30mins. (how worse can it be?) Is there a way to downgrade the Os to 3.1.2 and jailbreak it? I don’t need the unlock anyway, just the jailbreak and I’m using a windows7. Many thanks.

  34. BTW, I have clicked “make my life easier” once in Cydia in my 1st and only trial of my jailbreak of iPhone 3gs too.

  35. Dont use this, it will never work, since the link has 403-forbidden. stick with what you have right now and wait it a trusted/known JAILBREAKER comes out with it.

    1. lol, that’s what I was thinking. The link is for redsn0w 0.9.4, which was made by the iPhone dev-team. They are the most trusted (if not the ONLY trusted) name in iDevice jailbreaking.

  36. click only cydia and you have to follow the instruction fast……i hope everybody jailbreak it!

  37. I like this already, but does the iPod touch have to click “already pwned”?

  38. Hey Hussain, whassup, r u still working on an updated software to get those of us u had to update to the new 3.1.3 version that now has the 5.12.1 model firmware on the 3GS iphones? I thought u were the best man, now whas taking you so long, I need my 3GS iPhone to be unlocked not just jailbroken, which didn’t work anyway.

    Hope to hear from you soon, until then have a Great Thursday!

  39. Worked up to the running pineapple screen, flashes the NOR all looking good, but then boots in recovery mode.

    This is on an iTouch 2g, there isn’t a 3.1.2 fw for the 2g itouch so I used 3.0 which the redsn0w accepts and patches.

    Anybody any advice?

    Cheers.

  40. can some1 send me the 3.1.3 upgrade cus its already on my ipod and its not in the folder shown!

  41. Maybe this is a stupid question but does this work on my 32gb 3rd gen model nr: A1318EMC2310 iPod Touch?

    Sorry if my English is bad I’m not English myself.

    Thanks already

  42. what i read on rock app and cydia is that the NEW update if a front that will remove all jailbreak apps and that you wont be able to use the two applications again and RECOMMENDS the users NOT TO UPDATE !!!!

  43. I have an iPod Touch 3G and it still has 3.1.2 firmware, if I update it to 3.1.3 will this jailbreak work? I don’t want to risk updating because in your step-by-step guide you didn’t say it works for the iPod Touch 3G, you only said 1G and 2G.

  44. im getting so streessed with this jailbreaking stuff i did not know what it was till this morning im starting to think with all the information flying round one person saying one thing another saying something else i dont know who to trust i think it is probably not worth it. i cant even seem to find a link any were that works for redsn0w 0.9.4
    i give up

    i give up

  46. Why is there no answer to the questions about missing 3.1.2 IPSW file in the folder? Does that mean if you upgraded prior to moving a copy (as in the instructions), you have lost the file and cannot jailbreak?

  47. ok, i am obviously not the only one getting the 403 error when clicking to download the redsnow v. 0.9.4 zip file…
    can we please answer this? i totally believe it’s going to work fine for me, (i have ipod touch 2g -firmware 3.1.1 and the serial doesnt start with MC) and i’m pretty solid on how to do it, but it’s not going to do me any good if i caan’t download it. i’ve tried links from many different blogs and stuff… the zips that i got don’t work. windows says they’re corrupted.
    looking forward to recognizing the hard work of my trusty Dev Team… but only as soon as it works. :P
    thanks.

  48. Okay guys if you have a 2nd Gen Ipod Touch (non MC version) follow these instructions EXCEPT for where it says to click the “already pwned” DO NOT click that and everything will work fine. I spent 4 hours trying to figure out why my ipod wouldn’t reboot and once I unticked “already pwned” worked perfect.

    1. do as chris said, it worked for me aswell, it didn’t with already pwned. thanks!

    2. This works on G1 ITouch as well. Just make sure you have the IPod 3.1.2 firmware to point to NOT IPhone 3.1.2 and NOT “already pwned”

  49. perfect, Chris ! It Worked very well now ! I tried it many times without a result, but now its fine ! Thank you for the tip !

  50. It works with a iPhone 3GS? Because, with the other jailbreak i’ve done early when i turned it off the iphone didn’t works.

  51. Is this how you jailbreak an 2G itouch? (MC model?)

    So i just bought my itouch yesterday and i think its an MC model.. Does that mean i cant jailbreak it WHATSOEVER.? Or am i going to have to wait until they find out how to jailbreak it.?

    please letme know asap! i wanna jailbreak it!!!

  53. IPod Touch 3G doesn’t work:
    Unable to recognize specified IPSW

    Upgraded the IPod Touch to v 3.1.3 which runs fine.

    1. I have the same problem with my ipod touch 3gG

      This solution doesn’t work on IPod Touch 3G

      We have to wait

      xgabo

  54. my iPhone has the 3.1.3 update but I cant find the 3.1.2 I IPSW Im stuck help

  55. i have no idea idea how to to do this i am desperate please someone walk me thru it

  56. step 5 did not work! redsnow said that the file i selected is wrong or something.. hellp me!

  57. guys!!….i’m still tryin out the process mentioned above…but the path that involves pasting the iPhone os 3.1.2 resetore.ipsw to the desktop…..i opened the folder and instead of 3.1.2 there s 3.1.3!!!…..now what do i do?…..plz help me out fellas!!

    1. okay after the stages to put into dfu mode, it says prossesing ipod for like 2 hours..should i restore ipod touch and then try again

  58. If you search “iPhone1,2_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw” on internet you can get copies of this file. (in case it’s missing on your pc. ) But the question is if it’s okay to use these copies. I’m not sure, but I believe it should be the same for everyone. Can anyone confirm?

  59. How long does it take to finish once the setup on the computer is done and the screen goes black on the itouch?

  60. did everything like the video said(using ipod touch 2nd gen, non-mc)
    1st- i did it without clicking the “already pwned” button in redsn0w jailbreak setup and everytime i did my ipod wouldn’t reboot.
    2nd- i then clicked on the “already pwned” button in setup and it went through and i clicked finish, but then my ipod wouldnt do anything but stay on a black screen.
    I have no idea what im doing wrong

    1. Alright figured out what i did wrong.
      IPOD TOUCH 2nd GEN.(non-MC) models- to sucessfully jailbreak,follow all the instructions above except for these things
      -FirstMake sure you have the IPOD TOUCH 3.1.2 ipws file, not the iphone one that this site provides a download link for otherwise it will not work. You have to find it somewhere else on the internet.
      -Secondly do not click the “already pwned” button when running redsn0w, it will cause it not to work.

      1. Where did you find an ipod touch 3.1.2 ipsw file? i can’t find one anywhere! thanks.

  61. how long is it going to take to come out with a jailbreak for an itouch 3g MC model? please let me know. thanks.

  62. hey… i understand this is jailbreak works… now for the real question… Does this fix the “tethered” problem 3gs users face with the 3rd 4th and 5th serial numbers being higher than 940? I am currently jailbroken via blackrain and the thethered problem is really starting to get on my nerves… is this a fix for that as well as a new os jailbreak? nobody seems to be commenting on this..

  64. After entering DFU mode, it’s now stuck in : Please wait while your device is being processed.

    Waiting for reboot.

    It stays there and does nothing……

  66. I’m trying to jailbreak my ipod and I can’t find the IPod OS 3.1.3 software update file on my computer anywhere! Help?

    I have a windows computer.

  67. Installed 0.9.4 sucesfully at the second attempt, thanks! One comment would be that in step 6 you state “6.After redns0w has validated the firmware, it will show some options such as Install Cydia, Verbose boot etc. Make sure to check Install Cydia and Already pwned.”, but the image shows Verbose selected? it wasnt until I had selected verbose that the install went through in full.

    On a seperate note altough it does seem to be installed fine, when starting up the device (3G) I get the apple logo, followed then by the boot record?

    Has anyone else experienced this? Is it the norm, can I fix it?

  68. I have 3.1.3 on my iPhone 3G. Anyone have a working link to download redsn0w 0.9.4 that will work with this firmware? All the links online are broken.

    1. Try the Dev-Team’s Blog. They released a new PwnageTool for 3.1.3, MAC Exclusive program.

    1. will we hav our jailbroken apps if we did this to a already jailbroken ipod touch 2g

  69. i used QuickPwn for 2.2.1 for my iPhone 2G, and planning to use redsnow in order to upgrade to 3.1.2

    should i select “already pwned”?

  70. i did everything with “already pwned” and the screen after the redsn0w was done. when my ipod turned on i got nothing.

  78. Yeah – I get the 403 error when trying to download redsn0w. :( Fix the links! Fix the Links!

    How do you like my name? Hue-Janus. Nice!

  79. Ive installed 3.1.3 for my itouch, but when I browse for the IPSW on Redsn0w it says unable to recognise the specified IPSW.
    The IPSW is called: iPod2,1_3.1.3_7E18_Restore

    any help?

  80. Hey people I’m here to answer your questions. This DOES NOT work for the new 3.1.3 (7E18) firmware because Apple recently changed the settings so instead of seeing the screen part of the jailbreak, your screen is black. Your going to have to wait for the new update. So, your lucky if you don’t have to restore your device in case you followed the directions incorrectly. Like always, I highly recommend having a backup on iTunes if you so happen to restore your iPod/iPhone

    Regards,
    Mike

  88. I’ve use this program to try to Jailbreak my iPod(1g) with OS 3.1.1 many times now and each time it’s unsuccessful. The IPSW file I am using for the jailbreak is iPod1,1_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw and it never works. what is the problem?

  89. when i click the red sn0w 0.9.4 download link, it says ‘403- forbidden’ what shall i do?

  90. hehe says 403- forbidden when downloading redsnow oh well jailbreak isnt that important

  91. THIS DOES WORK! I just bought a iphone 3g which had 3.1.2 straight out the box. I misread updating itunes and I updated to 3.1.3 instead using itunes.
    I tries using blackrain and was unsuccessful. Upon countless hours of reading, I stumbled into blacksnow. ( keep in mind, I’m a newbie to this ) I first tried it with blacksnow o.8 thinking it would do it but, no success. Then I see this, blacksnow 0.9.4 which is the next version I think. Anyway, I did exactly like the pics say. downlod blacksnow 0.9.4 and then go crazy finding IPSW in my pc, check the cydia box and the already pwned and everything seemed to go smoothly until it said finished. My iphone stood at a blank screen and did nothing. I finally got it to turn back on and didnt see cydia or anything. So, I decided to give it one more shot. ( now it’s 2:30 in the morning) The second attempt I only checked off cydia ONLY and evrthing went smoothly again accept this time it worked.
    How did I find 3.1.2 firmware? I simply right clicked on my C:drive and clicked on search.
    On the searched tab I typed 3.1.2 IPSW and it came up right away. I then transfered it to my desktop for easy finding. ( I’m using XP )
    How did I find blacksnow 0.9.4? I did a google search for it. I clicked on evry link till I found one that didnt give me that error code and downloaded it. Someone prob posted a link here on Blacksnow 0.9.4
    I hope this is enough detail and works for you guys!

  95. @#20 then why is the first sentence of the article:

    “t didn’t take long for the iPhone Dev Team to come up with a jailbreak solution for iPhone OS 3.1.3 which was recently released for iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS, iPod Touch 2G and 3G. redsn0w 0.9.4 jailbreaks and unlocks iPhone 2G, jailbreaks iPhone 3G, iPod Touch 1G and iPod Touch 2G ( non MC Models).”

  97. Hey guys, for ipod touch 2g, non MC models you follow the rules but DO NOT click already pwned, you get redsn0w 0.9.4 by googling it and you will find a link, you get the firmware by googling that also, its not rocket science.

  98. Ä°f u ll follow the steps and with right firmware verison its working good Thnks

  99. Redsnow wont reboot the system, direction’s are followed, even used with youtube.

    Firmware’s 3.1.3
    Redsnow 0.9.4
    Itunes 9.0.3

    Itouch is locked in DFU mode. Any answers?

  100. Everything worked perfectly. However, do not check “already pwned”.

  101. Alright, I did everything that it told me to do.

    The only modifications I made were that I downloaded a ““iPhone1,2_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw” off a downloading site since I did not have it on my own computer; I did not check the “already pwned” box; And I downloaded redsn0w off another downloading site.

    The problem is that it is stuck on the “waiting to reboot” screen. What am I doing wrong? Can any one help please?

  124. Does anybody know how to jailbreak iPod touch 3g 3.1.3? I’ve already tried to downgrade it but it never works :(

    1. I had the same problem. But I downgraded the software version to 3.1.2, and then jailbrake it with blackra1n.

      I use the firmware version iPod2,3.1.2_7D11,**note** it is not the iPod3— firmware. For some reason Apple stop signing off the firmware 3.1.2 on the ipod touch 3g.

      Go to youtube, the are videos of how to downgrade the firmware.

      **NOTE** the firmware dowgrade only worked for 8G ipod Toch 3G. the 32G and 64G are out of luck at this time.

      Good luck!

    2. the same thing is happening to me :( and i cant still downgraded … and i want to jailbreak it sooo muchhh HELP

    3. download 3.1.2 from a website and then open itunes with your ipod pluged in, click on your ipod. the do Shift+cLick on the restore button and then loacate the 3.1.2 file

  125. Why create a tutorial that is titled jailbreak 3.1.3, then show people that you are installing 3.1.2 firmware into the phone, then go da da! you are now jailbroken with 3.1.3. Makes no sense

      1. tried the method step by step for several times…but to no avail! at the end of the process redsn0w says the rest of the process will take place in the device and then done! but then when i’m opening itunes a msg is popping up that your device is in the recovery mode click to restore..i tried restoring with 3.1.3 and 3.1.2 firmwares but to no avail..please help!

        1. even before i progress to step 9…redsn0w says that the rest of the process is going to take place on the device and then done! thats it…bt when i’m opening my itunes after that it is showing that my device is in recovery mode and that i shud restore it first…so i had to restore it with original firmware! help!

          1. DO NOT select already pwned then just follow the
            tutorial. Note 6 and 7 are in the wrong order.
            Basically, DO NOT SELECT ALREADY PWNED!

Ahhhh help me

  138. DO NOT select already pwned then just follow the
    tutorial. Note 6 and 7 are in the wrong order.
    Basically, DO NOT SELECT ALREADY PWNED!

  139. The best thing is to shift click restore and downgrade to 3.1.2 and following this you need to use blackra1n to jailbreak it. And if you are using vista or windows 7 you need to go to the task manager and kill all of the iTunes relates servaces ( one will automatically restart diring jailbreaking and this is needed to you can just exit the task manager ) and when blackra1n starts you need to hold down the home button I’ll it is done ( when it says entering recovery mode ) and then everything should work as it has for me. If it says please conntect to iTunes it’s jammed up. Close the window and retry don’t worry everything is there even if you forgot and it’s 3.1.3 it can still recover it if blackrain says it’s sucessful. It just won’t be jailbroken

  140. When I browse for the file, redsnow says “unable to recognize specified ISPW”. Any help?

    Your kindness is appreciated. Thanks.

  145. Hey yeah
    if you want to jailbreak 3.1.3 with Redsn0w you need
    1) itouch or iphone
    *CANNOT BE the itouch 2nd gen MC, itouch 3rd gen, or the iphone 3gs*
    2) firmware 3.1.2 (you use it as sort of a loophole)
    *Can be Downloaded from >> http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/

    3) now just follow the steps as shown above! :)

  146. So if you tried to JB a 3rd Gen, what would happen to the device? I was about to do it and saw davin’s comment. I do not want to risk it, as I paid $200 for it, and don’t have the money to get a new one. So I’d be screwed if I JB’d my 3rd Gen.

    Also is there one for the 3rd gen yet?

  147. If redsn0w does not see the firmware, you have to make sure it’s a ipsw file, you have to go to folder options and make sure that you can see the file extensions of commong known files or whatever, change it from .zip to .ipsw

    then you will find it

  148. If you have a iPod touch 3gen. and accidentlly updated the version to 3.1.3 (7E18). What version do you use to restore it to its original version?

    1. original version? Do your remember which version did it ship with? You’ll have to find that version of the iPhone OS and restore it.

    If i point redsn0w to the 3.1.2 firmware i get the screen at step 7 then the option to choose what to install mentioned in step 6. If i then start the iPod in recovery Redsn0w does it’s trick, and tells me it will continue on the device itself. And the it stops with out any signs of being complete.

  173. various factors can make the screen stay on blank after red snow 0.9.4 restore. First off it works best on Windows XP vista and 7 you gotta be lucky.Second try changing the usb sync cable new to old old to new if their not working. Third make sure you got the right firmware for ipodtouch and iphone. Fourth follow the instructions exactly as red snow says a lot of people keep confusing DFU with recovery, Red snow asks for both. If you've done many attempts with this have itunes restore it so it can be fresh and try red snow again. If it doesn't work on your computer it may work on another, so switch computers.If you screen remains on a blank screen it will eventually shut off and the phone will restart to normal or you can hold power button and home button for 15 or more seconds to restart it.I hope these tips help.

  180. Does anyone know if you can unlock and jailbreak an iPhone 4G? Either way I have the iPhone 3GS and I love it but I’m tempted to upgrade to the iPhone 4G but something has been keeping me from doing it but I just might upgrade even though it’s got some probs. If I can jailbreak and unlock the iPhone 4G I just might. What do you think?
