"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

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.

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

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?

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

[geraldhansen]

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?

[edub]

i wasn't sure about purplerain at first, but couldn't wait for the dev team. i gotta say, i appreciate the dev team, i really do, but damn purplerain is so f-ing easy. anyone could stumble using redsnow, quickpwn, or pwnagetool, but a monkey could jailbreak with purplerain and it is working perfect. competition is sweet.

Too much work?! Are you serious?? Be glad you weren't around in the good old days when jailbreaking took hours and you had to do everything by command prompt.

[SirDude]

same thing here. ran it twice and cydia is not showing up.. not really sure why.. but kinda fun how purplerain works but the short submitted dev-team program is bugged

[illuminatty]

This app crashes on me everytime I try to open it. I'm sticking with Purplera1n for now, had no problems with it and I was done in less than 2 minutes.

[ej3ffrey]

ok, i was having some problems with redsn0w mac. cydia wasn't showing up like some of you have said. this is because it didn't fully install the jailbreak. you see the commands run through the phone and then it shuts off. it isn't supposed to happen this way. you should see the pineapple after that.

i ran redsn0w windows on another computer and it worked the first try. there must be a bug somewhere on the mac version on certain macs.

i'm running the new july 2009 unibody 13" macbook pro on 10.5.7 and redsn0w doesn't work.
