It worked for me first try, without any kind of problems.

Got Cydia, OpenSSH, Winterboard, etc... working. No problems at all.

IMPORTANT

Many people are having similar issues, and is causing many threads to be opened, I myself am having the issues aswell, and would like some help please.

Issue (This may be added to the main page)

redsn0w 0.7.1, iPhone 2G (may also be for 3g) hangs on a black empty screen when the jailbreak is running (after the ipod had been put in dfu mode)
it either displays "waiting for reboot" Or "Done!", but the iphone remaines on the black empty screen.


Thanks in advance.

Safari, for one reason or another, downloads the file as a zip file. Then when it finishes, it automatically unzips it, which is why you have the folders. However, it also takes that original Restore.ipsw.zip file and drops it in the trash. All you have to do, when Safari is done downloading the file and unzipping, is go to the trash, retrieve the Restore file, and then remove the ".zip". Then it's good to go. Kind of strange, but at least you don't have to redownload the file if you already have it (and you haven't emptied your trash, and you don't have to use a different browser, if you already have Safari running.

Hope that helps.

PS.... i read yesterday you might be able to right click and "recompress" dont know for sure, havent tried it myself.....


hope this works for ya

The original poster was working with a partial download. Apple's servers have been getting hammered of late, and I myself have had many timed out downloads. Redownload the firmware, and make sure that it Is the full 229mb.

Acually, as always, I'm going to wait a week or so and enjoy my functioning-perfectly, heavily-modded (and thus indispensible) 2.2 2g phone.

damn that was a easy jailbreak..............

@the2twins, thank you for the answer

@itaintrite, Im not a noob like the others and I can read what was posted. I'm using my 2g still on 2.2.1 and I have a 3g that is unlockable and sitting collecting dust and I just wanna jailbreak it and test the 3.0 features

[loco]

Thanks, got it up and running first try no problems

Edit. Windows + 2g Phone

It's a different type of hardware so it's going to be a different jailbreak than with the 2g or 3g. We will just have to be patient until the dev team releases a 3gs jailbreak...because trust me, I am waiting for it too

[the2twins]

was your sim in the phone when you attempted to jailbreak?

@Techngro
Thanks dude for the guide.
Im going to update my iTunes to 8.2 right now. Then update my iPhone 2G to FW3.0 I will then run Redsn0w 0.7.1 and jailbreak my iPhone 2G and it will still be unlock. Ill report back on how it goes!

Im also curious about this.... How come no jailbreak for iPhone 3GS 3.0FW? or is there? I think quickpwn would be the one if its released...

Thanks!

EDIT: @inzandity
