when you use words like finkin, you dont deserve to use the word iPhone, or internet, or even computer. Learn English then try again.

performed the jailbreak today with minimal problems, everything was spelled out pretty clearly. Thanks!
One problem I have with my phone now (3G and os4) is that I am not able to open the mobile terminal. Have there been any suggested fix's for this?Also, as I am new to jailbreaking and hacking in general, I assume that some of the apps i.e. videorecorder3g, will not operate correctly because of the relative newness of the firmware???

When I try to jailbreak my phone it never reboots it just sits on the "downloading jailbreak data" icon forever and never re-boots. If I shut it down it still thinks it's a unrestored iphone. Am I doing something wrong? Redsnow doesn't give me any errors or anything.

Got it figured out.
Had to teach myself how to ssh with WinSC (thank you youtube!) Downloaded Mobile terminal 4.0 (google it) and then used ssh via WiFi to load it onto phone. Worked like a charm!!!

hey guyz i updated my iphone 3g for ios4 jailbreaked but when i want to instal cracked aplications with itunes it doesn't work. what can i do ?
-
Buy the apps, you've come to the wrong place if you're looking for cracked apps.

hi all, can i use this steps to restore back to 3.1.*?
What i mean is, instead of choosing iPhone1,2_4.0_8A293_Restore.ipsw,
i choosed ipsw for 3.1.*. What do you think? -
I JB fine with this method several times. I got Cydia working fine and d/l a few apps, HOWEVER, the reason i had to do it several times is because every time i install either Winterboard or SBSettings, my phone keeps getting a springboard crashed error and goes into safe mode. Any suggestions pls
-
You need to d/l an app from Cydia called ****. this will allow you to use cracked apps with itunes

Should i use the os4 firmware up top, or is there something newer that i should be using?

Hi,
today i Jailbreak my iPhone 3G with OS 4.0 by just following these steps.
it is working perfect for me.
I have one question as OS 4.0 is the latest, so while connecting to iTunes and doing some updates, will it again be locked? -
I think OS 4.0 is the latest, and you should use that one, but i am not sure that your iPhone or iPod again be locked while connect to iTunes and make some updates...i also want to know this :(

Hi, everyone,
sorry if I'm being stupid, but despite the excellent step-by-step instructions, I'm still a little worried and have some questions before I attempt this:1. Before jailbreaking, do I upgrade to iOS 4.0 (or 4.0.1) on iTunes, i.e. the "regular way"? (I currently am running OS 3.1.2 (jailbroken using blackra1n) and plenty of apps no longer work). iTunes keeps telling me there's a new firmware version available and asking whether I want to upgrade. So, do I update and only THEN, subsequently, follow the steps listed here, or do I leave the firmware as it is now (i.e. 3.1.2) and simply follow the steps? Is the firmware I'm supposed to download in "Step 2" and save in the folder "Pwnage" the "regular" firmware or the jailbroken version? (What is says under "Step 10" would make me inclined to think that the firmware downloaded in "Step 2" is the "regular" one that then is altered using RedsnOw...)
2. At the end of this tutorial ("Update 2"), there's a reference to a newer version of Redsnow, since apparently, other users have experienced difficulties using the previous version. Should I use this newest version INSTEAD of clicking on the link provided under "Step 1" and then follow the other steps, so that I'd then be using the newest version of Redsnow? Or do I have to use a previous version of Redsnow and then re-run it using the newer version?
Sorry for being such a pain, but I just want to make sure I don't screw up here...
Any help is appreciated....

Thank for all information. I like you! Dav Team!

And one more (stupid) question:
I've downloaded the firmware file, only its a "zip-file" and after unzipping it, there is absolutely no "ipsw-file" to be found...(there are plenty of other files but no "ipsw-file" - so which of those files would I need to navigate to in "Step 6" or have I simply made a mistake along the line? -
So 0.9.5b5-5 is not recognizing the 4.0.1 ipsw. I'm supposed to be downgrading to 4.0 again to get it jailbroken? Why did I upgrade to 4.0.1 in step 2/3?
-
SO AWESOME. Thanks For This Instructions, Links, And So Much More. <3 I Really Appreciated This Thing. It really Helps my iTouch's Future. Ha ha :) And My Knowledge For Jail breaking was Expanded! :))

it says (using redsn0w_win_0.9.5b5-5) that the IPSW for the iOS 4.0.1 AND the 4.0 is unrecognized) any help?
-
i also tried 4.0.1 with both Redsn0w 0.9.5b5-5, Redsn0w 0.9.5b5-4, and Redsn0w 0.9.5b5-3 and it didn't take that nor 4.0
-
when i download the latest Iphone 4.01 file i get it in zipped format, and when i extract it i have in in dmg format... can someone help me to get the ipsw file?
-
Having trouble. Have iPhone 3G 4.0.1. and tried to do steps 7 and 8 but says "Unable to recognize spesified IPSW". Used both redsn0w 3 and 4. Any ideas?

I have the exact same problem!! At first I tried "Shift" - "Restore" with iOS 4.0, but iTunes came back with an error-reading. Then I tried the same with iOS 4.0.1 and that seemed to work. However, when I tried to jailbreak it with redsnOw 0.9.5b5-5 (i.e. the newest version), redsnOw didn't recognise the iOS 4.0.1 Restore.ipsw. It "reckgognised" the 4.0 ipsw, and did everlything it said in the instructions, but since that was obviously not what I had installed with Shift-Restore, it's obviously not jailbroken. (At least I found no icon of Cydia). So now I'm left with an iPhone that's got iOS 4.0.1 (but no multitasking -why not???) and is entirely un-jailbroken, meaning that all my apps and winterboard etc. are gone!!! Can someone help out here, please???
-
All you need to do is to rename the file by replacing "zip" with "ipsw". You'll be asked if you really want to rename it - just click "yes".
(I really don't understand why they don't mention this in the - otherwise wellworded - instructions....)
But be careful: redsnow doesn't seem to reckognise the 4.0.1 ipsw - in my case that led to me having upgraded to 4.0.1 with apparently no chance of getting it jailbreaked. In fact, due to troubles, I had to reset (unbrick) my iPhone on iTunes. Now I have 4.0.1. - with no jailbrak! To boot, I don't have any of the supposedly new features of 4.0.1. even though I have the offical version. Can someone explain that to me and how to at least get those features, if I can't jailbreak it.... -
I have the same problem as Enki666 describes... see posts above.
Guys, some help would REALLY be appreciated!!!
