How To Jailbreak iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS Without Updating Baseband Using Redsn0w For Mac Users [iOS 5]
Few days back, iPhone Dev team had released a new version of Redsn0w for iOS 5 that also included the PwnageTool functionality, which allows users to create a custom iOS firmware file that can be used to update the iPhone to jailbroken iOS 5, while preserving the baseband so that they can use Ultrasn0w to unlock it.
In this guide, we will take you through the step by step procedure to jailbreak iPhone running iOS 5 without updating the baseband using Redsn0w.

Is this also working with unlock phones using gevey sim? Im newbie to this, and i don't want to do it for my phone if not yet supported. Im afraid it turns to an ipod touch lolz!
-
Gevey sim is independent of jailbreak(JB) and is a hardware unlock as I understand it. JB is to install Cydia, the non-apple APP store.

1. So are old 3GS bootroms tethered? How to untether? 2. What about using Sn0wbreeze and then redsn0w? Will that work or does redsn0w require the custom firmware ipsw be created by PwnageTool in Mac?Congrats Dev Team and all hackerz!
-
Step 1: Download Redsn0w 0.9.9b6 for Windows from this link and save the application in a folder named "Redsn0w" on your desktop. THIS LINK IS FOR MAC!
-
Please read it as Redsn0w 0.9.9b6 for Mac, as the ability to create custom IPSW is available only for Mac currently. We've corrected it. Thanks for pointing it out.
-
Maybe put this info (Mac only) in the article title also.
-
-
So, meaning I can update mine using this without worrying that I can't used my phone. Currently unlock using Gevey sim. Please keep me updated. Thanks and more power to Dev Team and all hackerz!

one question my phone is unlock and jailbreak with ios 4.2.1 and baseband 6:15 if I upgrade it to IOS 50 it will still be unlock and will I able to use any carrier????
-
Step 10 need to be corrected iPhone 3GS users will get NO_BB_iPhone2,1_5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw., you put NO_BB_iPhone3,1_5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw. this is for iPhone 4
-
yes follow instructions and once you on 5.0 insert gevey sim and do gevey process to unlock as usual
-
if is an old bootrom you will get an tethered JB if is new bootrom the JB will be tethered, but yeas follow steps and the run cydia repo 666 and you'll be unlocked
-
Yeah, thanks for pointing it out. We've corrected it.

Where iPhone 4.1 unlock?
-
tried to jailbreak IOS5 on my iphone 4 - states it was successful, I have a white cydia icon and it won't open... help?
-
We've just updated the post with the steps to fix the white Cydia icon issue. Let us know how it goes.
-
I did exactly the same, but when I try to Restore using the custom IPSW, the iTunes gives me a "1600 unknowing error". What can I do to update my 3Gs to iOS5? Can you guys help me out?
-
after it's unlocked Does the phone need to be tethered to the pc to restart? or is it just a one time thing during the JB process?thanks
-
You need to tether your iPhone to the computer every time you restart it.
-
It looks like you've not Pwned your device before restoring it, please ensure you have followed steps 11 to 13 carefully.
-
You need to also check that there is no host file entry that is pointing to Cydia servers.
-
1. It is an untethered jailbreak for iPhone 3GS users. 2. You can now create custom firmware iOS 5 file using Redsn0w. Follow the instructions in this guide.
-
We're assuming you mean unlock for iPhone 4, other than baseband 01.59.00, there is no unlock available nor has Dev team provided any ETA. We wouldn't count on it.

After install succesfully iOS 5 on my Iphone 3gs , I have problem with unlucking the device/or no service on mobileI have no service from my sim cardsystem says I have iOS 5, cydia is working fine, tried sources and added repo666.ultrasn0w.com and it updated my sources successfully but still I have no service from mobile company
-
I have a 3gs running IOS5 and I can't get my MMS to work. Help!
-
I have Iphone4 BB 1.59.00 and I have carefully followed your step until #16.After ITunes finishes the restoration I can see IOS5 working but I'm getting both in the Phone and iTunes asking for the right SIM card.I have used redsn0w just boot option but still the samething.Is my understanding that to unlock I need to install ultrasn0w from Cydia, but I'm not able to get to Cydia until the SIM card issue is resolved.I will appreciate your help to move out of this dead end place!Thanks in advance.
-
Is there some setting with the iMessage that needs to be updated (username/pw)? Does this interfere? What was your solution?
-
3gs upgraded okay, but after installing ultrasn0w, and reboot cydia, the screen keeps rebooting forever, i've defaulted it twice and redid unlock and no luck. please help
-
What do you mean by "defaulted it twice?" Did you install stock iOS5? If so your baseband should have upgraded and that may be why you are having issues. Ultrasn0w is not meant for newer basebands. Good feedback. I have an older BB 3GS that I am considering using.
-
Any ETA for Windows users?
