I was so happy when I woke up and saw this. I will say this to all my MMi friends. Be careful what you install in Cydia. I instAlled Notifier and now Cydia crashes constantly.

I'm already stuck..

Does this unlock the iphone 3g?

[Melloout]

This might have been asked before, but whats with the 3GS that it cant be jailbroken? All these threads say "NOT" for 3GS"...so I was just wondering if anyone knew why or if the Dev team has said why it doesn't work on the 3GS..Thanks

u don't need to extract then just change the file extension from .zip to .ipsw. it will solve u r problem.

if u don't know how to change the file extension google it " how to change the file extension"

This thread is irrelevant for that issue, please post in correct thread, READ the first post THIS DOES NOT UNLOCK 3G.

i have iphone 2g version unlocked ,jailbreaked with 2.2.0 firmware (windows).i guess redsnow upgrades to 3.0 firmware.

This might sound like a noon question but musclenerd said if you have a useless 3g with an official sim then use red snow to at least JB. Does this mean I need an AT&T sim card ?? Or I can JB without the sim ??

Yeah, the apps need to be updated to work on 3.0.

Hey guys, I don't have a specific answer to any questions, just thought I would post how I got my iPhone 2G jailbroken and unlocked. I did this on the Windows 7 RC1.

First, I updated Itunes to 8.2. Then I got the 3.0 firmware directly from Itunes (it gives you two options, download or download and install. I just clicked download).

I located the firmware on my HD, (C: > Users > Username > AppData > Roaming > Apple > Itunes > Iphone Update Software)

I made sure my AT&T sim was put back in my iPhone (It was already unlocked and had a T-Mobile sim inside). I did this just for the restore.

I shift-clicked on restore in Itunes and selected the firmware. My iPhone went into restore mode (screen had itunes logo and plug) I got an error message 1602 after a long hang. I solved this problem by just changing the USB port I was using. Restore went fine afterwards.

Then I put my T-Mobile sim card back in my iPhone.

Then I got Redsn0w and followed the directions. The jailbreak and unlock went smoothly.

Cydia is really buggy (crashed about 10 times in 5 minutes), but I was able to use it long enough to add the ripdev source and install Icy.

I hope this helps someone.

@ spdracr, you can without the sim.

You'll need the official sim since the phone won't be unlocked anymore after you upgrade to 3.0. Ultrasnow is not out yet.

Upgrade to 3.0 with iTunes normally then use redsn0w to jailbreak it.
