Jailbreak/Unlock New (OOB) 3g on iOS4.0.1 (8A306)

[rmsmillertime]

I studied many threads so if I'm asking a stupid or already posted answer...appologies, but I could really use some specific guidance 9so I don't toast a new phone).

My new 3g is running stock iOS4.0.1 (8A306) firmware. It is new from the Apple store and has not been upgraded.

I am attempting to jailbreak/unlock this phone. Can I do this? Pwnage and RedSnOw seem to only work with the 4.0 (8A293) OS.

1. Can /(how can) I jaibreak 4.0.1?
2. If I can't do (1), then can /(how can)I go from stock 4.0.1 to a jaibreak/unlock 4.0?

[I've done 2g hacks before, but this is my 1st 3g try, so I'd appreciate anyone's help]

Redsn0w is your best bet, it simply extracts some files from the FW to allow it to JB, so you can use iOS4 FW to JB 4.0.1. Simply point red 0.9.5-b5 to iOS4.0 FW, it will then JB your 4.0.1 device. Once done, simply load up cydia and install Ultrasn0w 0.93 to unlock

Thanks cadsii and Will01:
Your answers and guide make it very clear and I will try tonight. I hope to post a success email this evening

[cadsii]

btw whole process should not take more then 5 min ifi you are already on 4.0+

[rmsmillertime]

cadsii - does it matter if i use pwnage or redsnow

[Will01]

Redsn0w is easier.

[cadsii]

redsn0w that way your just modding it, you dont lose anything, pwnage tool your loading on new firmware

[rmsmillertime]

Success!!!! the modd worked perfectly. redsn0w, left the multitask and walpapers unchecked. load went quickly; rebooted and switched to my tmobile sim; turned off 3G; installed ultrasn0w; rebooted and everything works.

Thanks cadsii and will01 for your guidance

Im listening to you alls post and everytime I get to IPSW it says that it's unable. Its becoming fustrating becuase I have jailbreaking every iphone I had up until now. Please help me.

[cadsii]

are you selecting the 4.0 firmware using redsn0w ?
even though you are on 4.0.1 you have to select 4.0 in redsn0w

[varck63]

what link did you use for redsn0w 4.0 becuase thats what im using and my ipsw wont agree.

[cadsii]

make sure you grab the right on beta 5

redsnow 0.9.5 Beta 5.5 (with carrier & mms fix) osx | win

I'm running into the same problems the ipsw isn't responding. Would it be becuase I hvae iTunes 9.2.1?

[cadsii]

no doubt it you usin the redsn0w above and whats the name of the firmware file ?

[rmsmillertime]

The links cadsii posted are what I used successfully along w Itunes 9.2.1 I would try and re download the 4.0 ipsw and/or redsnow again. Perhaps something is corrupted
