windows users haz redsn0w COME GET IT!!! 3.0 ON ALL BUT 3GS

[tattoojack]

from the dev team blog:

THIS DOES NOT CONTAIN THE 3G UNLOCK (ULTRASN0W)

THIS IS ONLY FOR 3G IPHONES ON AT$T (OFFICIAL) CARRIERS, 1ST GEN IPHONES UNLOCKED, IPOD TOUCH 1ST AND 2ND GEN.

YOU NEED TO UPDATE ITUNES TO THE NEWEST ONE (8.2 NOT PRERELEASE)

THIS WILL NOT EFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO USE THE NEW ULTRASN0W BUT IT WILL REMOVE YELLOWSN0W
DO NOT USE NOW IF YOU NEED YOUR UNLOCK ON A 3G

IF CYDIA KEEPS CRASHING, TRY A REBOOT.

There is NO relation between this and Cydia! I'm on a completely different jailbreak and still have crashing issues with cydia today for the first time since my last jailbreak. It's the server, not your phone. (Saurik is still changing and tweaking)

Do not spread bad info please.

CHECK THE MAIN NEWS PAGE FOR MORE INFO AND GUIDES SINCE POETIC FOLLY HAS PUT UP A LOVELY NEWS POST

redsn0w in june
Read the whole post in full before attempting anything!

redsn0w is an easy to use, multi-platform, multi-device jailbreaking and unlocking tool for the iPhone 2G (original iPhone), the iPhone 3G (but not the 3GS) and also the iPod touch (first and second generation). Currently it is available for Windows and Mac OS X (there are some issues using redsn0w with OS X PPC, please use an Intel Mac until we have this problem resolved).

REDSN0W PROVIDES SIMILAR FUNCTIONALITY TO QUICKPWN.

If you want to build custom firmware files with more flexibility it is suggested that you use ‘PwnageTool’ on Mac OS X.

GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a 3G iPhone with yellowsn0w and rely on yellowsn0w to obtain cellular service, then you should NOT use redsn0w right now. Ultrasn0w (the 3G carrier unlock) is not included with this release and therefore your baseband will be locked and unable to use an operator other than the official one it was bought for. UltraSn0w will be released via APT (cydia and icy) soon. If you have an original iPhone (1st generation) then 3.0 carrier unlock works with this redsn0w release.
Yellowsn0w in its current form will NOT work with the baseband version that is present in the 3.0 update, you will need Ultrasn0w, which will be released sometime soon, Ultrasn0w will work with all iPhone 3G models (but not 3GS), even ones that were previously unlockable, Ultrasn0w (when available) will be released via APT (this means you will be able to get it via Cydia or Icy).
Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.
Read items 1, 2 and 3 again and again.
At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the latest version of redsn0w.
This app is suitable for the recent 3.0 release
redsn0w will NOT work for the iPhone 3GS.
redsn0w WILL work for Original iPhone (1st Generation), Original iPod touch, iPod touch 2G and the iPhone 3G (not the iPhone 3GS).
To use redsn0w simply upgrade the device in iTunes to firmware version 3.0 and run redsn0w to activate and jailbreak the device (and if you are using an original iPhone 2G, it will unlock it too!)

It states in the devteam blog quoted above that it will be similar to quickpwn. Their smart enough to know how many people need so I wouldn't worry about it being too hard. Especially IF it's replacing quickpwn

that's true I would've done the same thing but my luck someone would've flamed me for it. Haha

[nico_swd]

Success!

[LastSonOfKrypton]

OH YEAH! Jailbreak, CHECK!

[MetallicaFan1991]

MMi is usually behind on news, finally I got a jailbroken 3.0 but now all my text messages didn't get restored from my backup but everything else did, hmmmmmm
PS. YAY!! I'm back after I got banned from MMi.

[xmotoman]

has anybody tried the unlock/jailbreak using RedSn0w already? any problems?

[MetallicaFan1991]

^Yeh I have, not any problems, just like Quickpwn!

[ElGriton]

Nothing happens when I run redsn0w. A window with quite a bit of text pops up for a fraction of a second but that's it.

[bill645]

This is my first post to mmi, and i'm happy to say "its nice to join this forum." Oh yeah, redsnow is easy, maybe easier than quickpwn. Thanks Dev-team!!!

[nico_swd]

Drag the .ipsw onto the redsn0w.exe file.


Or download the new redsn0w 0.7.1 with the GUI (which they "forgot" in the first release, lol)

[benjiuk]

Yup great job all good here only problem I need to resolve is I updated through itunes and I heard afterwards that I will have lost 500mb because of cydia so with an empty drive my phone tells me I have 14.6gb capacity 14.3gb free, but not sure if I have lost space or how to resolve in fact I am worried when I sync itunes if it will double up on installed apps and conflict so going to untick all apps and tick one at a time.

[nico_swd]

Hit the restore button rather than the update one, and you should be fine.

[jjr3211]

ok i have a question when using redsnow dose this fix the itunes app or is it still all screwed up thanx in advance

[xmotoman]

does all the features work properly? text, youtube, maps, etc..
