  1. i am jailbroken at 3.0 can i skip 3.1.2 jailbreaking and jailbreak straight to 3.1.3? please answer

  3. 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!

  6. 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?

  10. 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
