Hold on, WHAT? The redsn0w jailbreak for 3gs is indeed a Jailbreak, it will appear to run the same way. Just do what it says or use purplera1n.....

[iN2K]

I re-ran the jailbreak program from my laptop up to the point to where it asked to plug in holding the home bottom. Same version as what i had downloaded on the other laptop. But on the other laptop it asked me to do the jailbreak process for a 3G...weird.

still having problems with this 3gs 3.0 JB.
have done at least 100 3g JB's w/ 3.0 NEVER ANY PROBLEMS ON THIS SAME 'PUTER.

I get to the the screen where it says preparing to jailbreak and goes no further? I am not new to this so have tried ALOT of diff. ideas.

Also it is giving me the first pop up ever saying that the DFU would work faster on a usb 2.0 powered port? All my ports are powered and have NEVER had this pop up ever JBing ANY other phones.

Goes thru kernal and does its thing then gets stuck at the preparing to jailbreak screen. Phone stays black and needs a hard reset. Plus this pop up is bugging me and it has been 4 weeks since getting the 3Gs and I am outta ideas and so bored with my new phone.

Can someone please give me some advise or new ideas on why this is happening? I am very frusterated.

Please help. Thank You.

ok so if redsn0w is failing and I just wanna JB what prog. 2 use?

Or am I stuck with doing an UNLOCK and JB???

This weak Vanilla look is driving me CrAzY! 4 Weeks with a 3Gs!

PLEASE HELP A GUY OUT I hate my new phone cuz it will NOT JB ):

please and thank you

[djjessejames]

4 real no one will help me?????

[PCeasar]

I say if you don't purplera1n then I can't help ya.... Just kidding I'm ask stealthbravo he's usually a helpful guy but you really should try purplera1n

[djjessejames]

What have u incountered for problems? I was just gonna wait till somin newer or patches come out, but damn this thing is hard to look at and enjoy anymore, might have to take a calulated risk

I wish i could really get an answer or suggestions on my usb port error reports after running (or trying to run redsn0w.)

I know this is messing up DFU mode for sure, what to do to prevent the JB from running into that stumble then crash.

Like the past post I have NEVER had the error message while doing any sn0w JB (the three sequence button press, hold blah blah.) NEVER

OK so how many people use PR to just JB and how stable is it? I read BETA?

Is that right? If so that ALMOST will not get run on my phone but man, this 3Gs 32gb phone just aint tha same tho, should be loving it and is not doing it for me.

So someone please tip me off on any user info and if someone know what the f is the port deal I am having is all about take a stab at it.

Thanks,

I have been running purplera1n since the release. It is a good and stable jailbreak. If I were you, I would simply try it. As far as your problems with redsn0w are concerned, when it hangs up, have you tried to unplug the phone and plug it back in? I have heard that has solved a lot of peoples problems with redsn0w. Good Luck

[djjessejames]

It is strange I went out and all I could think was why didnt I PM you and ask YOUR preferance when I posted that last one.

I come into my house and headed straight for my office to PM you and you have already responded. Cheers mate.

Yes I have tried the phone plug in plug out, no go. Tried at least 12 different times with diff. methods to make redsn0w work and it get hung same place every time. It kinda p.o.ed me seeing i have used all the past dev sn0ws to do lots of phones. Not one problem.

I am not a rammy or impaient person but if you think PR will work and devteam is not gonna release an updated version soon I will give it a shot of course on your advise of course, thanks.

Seeing I have never used it whats so different?
Cydia is on so you must get diff guis, five icon docks and rows?
Also things like dtunes and toggles and the like?
I dont know the JB prog. and how it differs. I wish to learn is why I ask

Also I have found so various sources.

Which link to the most current and stable source? purplera1n.com prob yes? Stupid, have my moments. lol

I think I found the guide to install but a link to the most recent? Would that be the one on here?

Thanks a million, I look forward to a responce then JBing with PR.
Afterwords I will post back my results. I am sure they will be positive
I just want a little more info so I can fill my heads HD a little further. Knowledge is power after all.

actually using a intel mac with redsn0w 0.8, i found it was compatible with 3.0.1, unlike purplesn0w and ra1n

[djjessejames]

GGGRRRRRRRRR............
Do I have to give up at this point?
Same probs with redsn0w and worried bout running the rain.

I think I will just try it.
First I would love to know the differences on the two and what I will encounter that P.R. is lacking?

Please respond someone, I will run wit it after I get this last question answered.

Thank you.

BIG *** SHOUT OUT TO STEALTHBRAVO AND ALL THE PROPS AN LOVE I AM FEELING RIGHT NOW. MAN IT HAS BEEN SO LONG VANILLA WHEN THE RAIN WORKED AND CYDIA POPPED UP MY EYES STARTED TO TEAR UP. SWEAR ON MY MOMMAS EYES.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! WERE IT NOT FOR UR RECOMMENDATION AND POST I WOULD HAVE NEVER USED A BETA ANYTHING. THANKS HOMIE : )

Hell ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Been waiting 5 months for a patch or rework of redsn0w to jb my 3gs with as I have always had sucess with sn0w jbs. Finaly desided to try PR and wow!!!
Hella easy and worked second time! Redsn0w was attemped again before and it was prob close to 100 trys with it with 0% luck.
I am so stoked.
Thanks for the poll and getting me to change mind. I know it has been posted 4 months but it was reading it again that had me try out tha ra1n. I would have NEVER used a beta but again... wow. now to turn this boring Apple device into somewhat of my own creations... FU*KIN' WOOOO....
