How to Jailbreak iPhone 3GS on 3.0 [redsn0w/OS X]

[Melech518]

I dont think we will see PWNage tool until the release of 3.1. I think the Dev Team released redsn0w only in response to Purplera1n. I think we will see all the tools released for 3.1, especially PWNage tool since many will need to build custom .ipsw's to preserve the baseband for ultrasn0w

has anyone tried ssh with cyberduck on 3gs?

[maiko914]

yeah. that would be the best way to go. i've read from alot of other forums that if purplera1n is working ok you don't have to switch.

[gmoneyz]

Help, anyone? The word 'brick' keeps popping in my mind...

it stuck for me too, but all i did was while it said reboot, just unplug the device from the usb cable and plug it back into the device and youll get the white screen and it will continue on with the process.

Does this change the bootup logo from the apple image to something else (like the pineapple)? If so, is there a way to fix that like in pwnage

[rolandgabor]

I followed the walkthrough step by step.
Cydia shows up, everything is flawless.
Thank you very much for the guide and thank you dev-team once again

BTW: I did not have issues with getting stuck on any screens, did not have to disconnect at any point for any reason
The whole process took me about 3.5 minutes to complete.
There is no pineapple logo for the boot logo.

I have now jailbroken my new 3gs 2 times with redsn0w and everytime it says that its finished. it reboots then no cydia (yes install cydia was checked).

any suggestions?

I can't JAILBREAK My 3GS.

1. Never Been JAILBROKEN
2. 3.0 Software
3. downloaded redSnow 0.8 MAC

now heres the tricky part.
I dont get the correct message when I choose Cydia, Icy, or both. I get this:



Right after I follow those steps I click next and get this:



follow these 2nd steps and nothing happens I just have to restart my phone.

I need a lil bit of help

on my 3G I used the 1st Release of RedSnow and it was quik and EZ. Any1 having these problems

No, the Apple will still be there...

[afkrazy]

I keep getting this error. Redsnow wont run

"The application redsn0w quit enexpectedly"

Any ideas?

[equlizer]

Umm why bother when there is purplera1n already and much much much simpler? What is the Dev team up to anyways? Ill stick with ra1n

[AshGoodger]

I'm using osx tiger. downloaded purplera1n and it wont launch. is it compatible?

You are using the wrong version of Redsn0w. You need 0.8 not 0.7.
In the 3GS version you dont have to put the phone in DFU in that manner.
Check the Dev-team blog for the correct version of redsn0w.

Hope that helps.

I know it shows 0.8 but it still requires a different method for 3GS.
I just did the jailbreak with no problems at all and redsn0w required different steps than what your screen shows.

Hello,
Not sure where to post this but I'm using an imac and after I download 3.0 restore I open up redsnow, click on browse I located the file that I need but when I click open another window pops up and I can't open any files only Firmware Folder so I click on it and now I can only click on DFU folder or All_Flash folder but after clicking on either one of them nothing is viewable or Redsnow won't accept. I can see other files in theses folders but they aren't clickable.

What I'm I doing wrong?
tia

Go to:
-user
-Library
-iTunes
-Software update

You will have the files there

Did you really just quote your OWN response in your response????? WOW
PS-you make no sense and give bad advise...sorry

[feverfive]

Ugh... The jailbreak itself went just fine...started up Cydia, which was a bit flakey, installed Cydia installer update & added a source; installed openssh first, Cydia crashed, but I re-started it & queued installation of both SBSettings & Winterboard. I was prompted to re-boot, now my 3G S won't start... It just shows the Apple boot logo for about 5 seconds, then screen goes blank.

Guessing I'll need to see if I can get my phone into recovery mode & restore to stock 3.0?

[btdesigns]

too much work the other way is better

[azblackteg]

i'm guessing you downloaded the firmware with safari???? Use firefox to download the firmware, safari doesn't download it correctly.

Thank You! that fixed my problem

[jwilcox09]

Thanks for the tut, but seems like too many issues, i'll stick with purplerain till 3.1

Im trying to decide if I should jailbreak my iPhone 3G, I am getting ready to upgrade to OS3. What are the drawback to jailbreaking? I was told that everytime there is a future update, the phone needs some reconfiguring. Is this true?
