I hate computers!
That worked first time from my other laptop!!!

3.0 installed on 2g iPhone. iTunes doesnt like my Virgin Mobile SIM card.
Now, lets see it I can work redsn0w

Thanks for the help!

There you go... well you're getting somewhere.
Now follow the instructions to get 3.0 jailbroken using redsn0w and you'll be set (like i said in my instructions, it usually works the second time around... happend twice to me on 2 diff iphones)

I'm glad i was able to help

DONE!!!

redsn0w took literally two mins. bootneuter a little longer and im now playing with my 2g 3.0 iPhone with a big smile

Thanks a lot.

Now, to find out if mms works on the 2g or not. So many conflicting stories...

Thank you

aren't you supposed to be restored to 3.0 before you start redsnow? If so, you might wanna mention that in the guide.

For some reason I cannot come up with the solution to my problem, I have before but the solution escapes me now. When I download the .ipsw file, it shows as a compressed folder (zipped). The file ending however, says .ipsw. Because of this I cannot open the file in redsn0w because it is a folder and not a single file.

put your cursor on the zip file. right click to bring up the menu, click rename, change the .zip to .ipsw

[evh5150]

Thats the problem... its a zip put it is already an ipsw. I cant change it to ipsw because it already is. The file is not a .zip but it is a zipped and compressed file with the ending .ipsw.

[ronzo]

maybe try deleting it and download from a different source, may or may not work,
iPod and iPhone Firmware Download
can probably find a few more with a little googling if you already use this one.

You may also want to try a different browser if that doesn't work.

Hi There,

I don't know if any one has come across this??

I upgraded my Phone to Firmware 3.0, and as usual i cleared all my previous Jailbroken apps, and because i noticed that i had numeric and the battery image in the phones screen i installed another sim card from another carrier, and the phone was still unlocked with firmware 3.0

Hope is of some interest to someone

Ciao

dont forget when your renaming the file to .ipsw make sure you have your file extensions showing so your just not adding .ispw to the name your changing the actual file

Delete the file you currently have and re-download it from the following source:

iClarified - iPhone - Where To Download iPhone Firmware Files From

Once downloaded (assuming your using Internet explorer or FireFox) you should get an IPSW file not a zip file.

Hope this helps

my question to you is "can I make and receive calls after I jailbreak my 3G with redsn0w?" because I'm stuck on stupid with this "not being able to unlock" thing you've stated.
Durrrr me.

Not sure why it is doing this, but no matter where I download the ipsw file, I'm getting it as a .zip file.

I've tried renaming it, and all it does is add .ipsw on the end and stay as a .zip file.

When I go to browse in redsn0w .. it doesn't find it because it is still showing as a .zip file.

Can someone please tell me how in the world do I get it to work? Thanks
