How To Find Out iPhone 3GS Bootrom Version [Updated]
If you’re interested in jailbreaking your iPhone 3GS you might have figured out by now that the jailbreaking tools like PwnageTool 4.0 for iOS 4 released by the iPhone Dev Team work only on iPhone 3GS models with older bootrom. So one of the most frequently asked questions by our...

Thanks for info.
I have old boot rom and and MB model still i can't because i jailbreaked with Spirit. What a bad luck :)) -
Seriously, this is a very long process but great info. I have the old bootroom, was worries as I have a MC model, thanks again!

Thats the hard way to check! Check if it's tethered or not in this tool "f0rcast". Thats your answer way, way easier:

If it is tethered, it is the new version. Easier!

to use spirt your phone has to be activated

so one question then. If the jailbreak comes out for 3GS New bootrom and I have jailbroke my 3GS with Spirit, would I be able to do the DEV team tools? Bc if so, then what can I do to get rid of this "Spirit" JB and then upgrade to the iOS4 and jailbreak it once the new method is out? I feel like no matter what, the new 3GS bootrom ppl are fucked, just like the ppl that bought the new "lemon" Iphone 4 and their issues. I dunno, I really do appreciate the DEV Team's hard work and believe me, if I knew how to find exploits, I would be trying to help, but, alas, I'm kinda retarded without the REAL hackers. So thank you DEV Team for the great work, but as follower of you all, please don't leave the new bootrom ppl out of the picture... we got needs to! lol.

wrong. i JB my old 3gs i sold on ebay after my iphone 4 was already activated. reformatted the 3gs and the used spirit to JB then ultrasn0w to unlock.
-
If your a hacker why not just release the jailbreak and let apple patch it then find a new way.. I thought hackers liked a challenge.

Thanks for the process and I too managed to checked that I am running on an old bootrom. I am currently using a 3GS on 3.1.3 JB using Spirit. So does it means that I too can't JB using the new Sn0wbreeze although I am having the old botroom cause I had used Spirit to JB my 3.1.3? thanks a lot bro.
-
Will there ever be a legit JB for 359.3.2 non-tethered that supports os4? I know this is speculation but looking for some hope that I can go from blackra1n to something on os4 without issues.
-
QUESTION (for whomever may know). I have iboot 359.3 running ios 4. When I had 3.1.2 I DID JB using spirit. BUT, I did straight up iOS 4 from Apple clearing out all thing JB in my phone. Does this mean I can or cannot jailbreak?
Thanks in advance.

Iam not able to see the bootroom it is showing something else???
USB\VID_05AC&PID_1227\5&1E800341&0&2
Can you figure it out
-
Dude mine is exactly the same as yours. I also had 359.3 running iOS 4. I tried sn0wbreeze buts still says i cant jailbreak.

What did Spirit JB do to cause 3GS with 3.1.3 not be able to restore custom firmware? I to are on the same boat. 3GS IOS4 old bootrom and can't go back. When I try to downgrade to 3.1.3 it stop at about 75% and give me an error.
-
So if you have old bootrom but you jailbroke with Spirit....what are your options?
Because i'm with the official carrier, i did not unlock my phone with ultrasn0w.
i just JB'ed with spirt on iphone 3GS w/ 3.1.3....can someone please explain this?
it's too confusing -
P.S. my iPhone 3GS is also the older model....MB
-
so if i JB my iPhone with Spirit that means im pretty much done?

You're in recovery mode, you didn't follow the steps correctly.

At this stage you cannot. Sorry.

Karman, Only if you have old 3.1.2 SHSH blobs on file on syariks server, you could point them to Saurik Cydia server to use the SHSH Blob servers and roll back to 3.1.2. De-install (if yoyu have a) new iTunes and insyall old (9.0.2) and then use blackra1n to jailbreak. After that you can cna make a custom ipsw file using pwnagetool or sn0wbreeze and use that file to upgrade appropriately.

f0recast isn't a good tool. It doesn't check the actual bootrom version. All it does is look at the serial number and then give a 'guesstimate' on the bootrom.
-
I don't know mutch about all this but I was fortunate to enough to some how fix a botched update thank got the guy I got the phone from had tried to update to 4.0 I restored it to 3.1.3 then ran spirit and I' am not going any farther the darn thing works its unlocked and jail broke so gonna stop while i' am ahead
-
