**HOW TO jailbreak 3[GS] on 4.0 official using ANY FIRMWARE

[ukhellfire]

Just a thought, but isnt the 3194 error caused by usb ports?? Try plugging the cable into a different port... Just seem to remember reading that somewhere :s could be completely wrong!

[trj111]

So I guess the MC model number isn't determinative.

Now I have to find a Mac! Lol

[thecrunked]

where is the pwned 4.0 ipsw

and is there one for ipod touch 2nd gen as well?

[thecrunked]

does that ipsw have cydia or rock installed. if not how can i add this in with windows?

[RXDI]

Come on man, read the first post. This is the file for the last step.

[thecrunked]

First at all thanks for your help for those that does not have Mac to create this ISPW, i just would like to know if this ISPW was done with Original 4.0 released yesterday or with a beta version

[ukhellfire]

Woopsy! I dont think ur allowed to link to custom ipsw's wonder how long it will take for this thread to close... After it being such a helpful thread to... (hint hint)

Don't know how many times us mods have to say today or any day.


LINKING TO CUSTOM FIRMWARE IS NOT ALLOWED AND WILL RESULT IN AN INFRACTION.

BTW One1 knows the rules and does not link to custom firmware. He links to original firmware. So other users are going against the rules on his thread that he made legit.

No matter what Firmware you are on, even 4.0 official, just go to the MMI downloads section and get

3.1.2 Firmware ModMyi Forums - Downloads - iPhone 3GS 3.1.2

Blackra1n RC3 ModMyi Forums - Downloads - blackra1n RC3

Point your hosts file to the Cydia Server where your 3.1.2 SHSH blobs are stored.

Restore to 3.1.2 EVEN IF you are on 4.0 official.

Run Blackra1n to jailbreak 3.1.2.

Now you are jailbroken again, simply upgrade to a Pwned 4.0 FW.


I JUST DID IT, it works PERFECTLY. I was on unpwned 4.0 official from where I upgraded last night

Thanks, worked perfect for me to jailbreak my iPhone 3GS with 4.0. I have not tried a non AT&T SIM yet but I'm sure it will work. Many thanks so now to figure out why cydia doesn't open.

Exactly. That is why we have been giving infractions and been zapping the posts within threads that link to it so we can keep the threads open to talk.

[ukhellfire]

@cerote
Bet u been getting alot
of tht today, of all days...

[Eninety2]

can the OP or anyone else clarify if we have to revert the changes to host file to the way it was originally? is it going to screw with any of the legit upgrades?

I think it would benefit you greatly to understand what you are doing so you don't have to ask that question as this is done for a specific reason. Read the link earlier in the thread to Saurik's site.

@UKHellfire You have no idea lol.


(Sorry one1 will not disrupt your thread anymore unless needed. Continue your fine work.)

Is this what you are referring to? If so, thanks. I read it, but it didnt kick in till your response.

This server will also act as a cache for any SHSH blobs it hasn't seen, acting as an intermediary to Apple's server. This effectively registers your device with the "on file" mechanism, which means you can now enjoy the protections of being able to downgrade your firmware in the future even if you aren't jailbroken.

i can confirm this works, though to be clear, you need to be on the newest itunes. great post and for my fellow windows users, there are IPSW's on the net if you look

Hey guys I just got an iPhone and I want to put 3.1.2 on it to jailbreak/unlock it so I can use it with t-mobile. I've been going crazy the past few hours as I just cannot get 3.1.2 or any other firmware on here.

At first I was getting a 3194 error, now I am getting

The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be restored at this time because of the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.
