How to Jailbreak Using redsn0w 0.9.6 (Windows)

[nvoltaire]

If I install eighter 3.1.3 or 4.2.1 the BB is 5.15.04. On 3.1.3 I can't jailbrake it, don't know why it doesn't work. Tryed using redsnow 6.9.4 and snowbreeze.

I tryed fuzzyband to downgrade the BB so I can unlock the phone. As I have the 5.08 bootloader I don't want to upgrade to iPad BB. Is there another way to unlock the BB 5.15.04 ? Tryed 2 times to downgrade with fuzzyband, same result. The phone restarts in the middle of the process, the wifi and the BB dissapears, the phone keep on restarting.

Reccomend another solution to unlock please !

if I try to restore the 3.1.3 with iTunes, I get error 1002 and the phone has no BB installed. I have to restore to 4.2.1, get a BB and than re-restore to 3.1.3. Is there any way to install 3.1.3, exit Recovery mode with tinyumbrella and than install the BB I want using another program ?

an amazing thing happened. afther shift+restore to 3.1.3 in iTunes, the phone installed 3.1.3 but no BB. I logged out my account from iTunes and did a normal restore. The 4.2.1 was installed, but unlocked and activated ( I had a SIM in the phone, but not an original carrier one ). Now iTunes tells me that there is an carrier update available, but no THANKS. ) So it all works on 4.2.1, BB 5.15.04, BL 5.8 Thanks iTunes !!!
Jailbraked the phone also, using redsnow and it works great. What a surprise, really.
How could it happen ?

hey guys. so i'm having trouble jailbreaking and activating my iphone 3gs, it has new bootroms and etc. so first off, my lock button is broke. completely. so to start with, i have the latest version of redsn0w, I was on ios 6.0, then i plugged into itunes last week, told me i had to restore it cause of some problem, so i did, but i forgot that i didn't have the sim card. so then i looked for ways to jailbrake it, well, i couldn't put it into dfu mode wihtout the lock button, so i used the dfu ipsw option and created a dfu ipsw for 6.0.1 os. well, i did that, and then i used sn0wbreeze and created a jailbreak for it to restore using itunes. i used ireb to put it into pwnd dfu mode asnd tried to restore it. then i got different itunes errors, like 1600 and others, so i'm just stuck in pwnd dfu mode, and i don't know what to do to fix it. I just want it restored and unlocked so i can have my music and etc. i'm still on the dfu ipsw 6.0.1 . i DO not have a lock button. so if someone could give me a step by step fix, that would be so helpful.
