After spending the whole day on it i finally got it updated!

My machine which is vista 32 bit would not work with redsn0w. I had all the problems mentioned here.

* Stuck waiting for reboot
* Black screen after it says it was done
* Reboot without a jailbreak

I tried in both 0.7.1 & 0.7.2 without any luck. 0.7.2 actually crashed a few times. Luckily my girlfriend has an xp laptop and i asked her to bring it home from work. Worked first time without any hassles.

So to wrap it up... There are some major bugs with redsn0w on vista

Good luck u guys

xryanx256 & stocis,

Which version of 2 redsn0w did you guys use? I used the first release if it makes any difference. So far I've installed 2 different essential updates which are for the Cydia installer and both have installed successfully. If you used the second release which i believe includes Icy try using the older versio of redsn0w or viceversa

Hope that helps,

FYI I want to weigh in for all the Vista users out there.

Main PC Vista x64 - Redsn0w had the no reboot, black screen, same issues being mentioned time and time again in this thread.

I booted a Vista x86 install and Redsn0w 0.7.2 worked without issue.

Vista x64 is clearly not compatible with Redsn0w. Windows XP mode will not work on x64. You need to be using an x86 (32bit) install for it to work.

I spent 5 hours, many restores and lots of hair loss trying to diagnose it.


***1st try redsn0w 0.7.2 worked without issue on Vista x86 (32bit) with iPhone 3G***


Those with issues please thoroughly read this thread, many other users have said this same thing. XP is not required, nor is Vista SP2.

Got ya! well in that case my suggestion applie LOL since the first release of redsn0w "only" had cydia

[washamur]

Well that sucks .. the only PC I have is my laptop and it is Vista x64

Guess I'll have to wait for a compatible .. or something else to come along.

werd P.F come thu quick again for peeps stuck with Windblowz. Right after work going to do Tha 3.0 update then yer redsn0w prog.
Thanks again for pulling this off so quick.
Props Mon

this sounds really stupid but what site to find the 3.0 3G firmware file?
It been a stupidly busy day brain not at peak preformance.
Thx guys/gals

[xrisis]

i just jailbreak my iphone 3G and then my brother's using redsn0w!
VERY EASY got it from he first time just something to ask about cydia
when i open it (from both iphones) and "upgrade essential" it gives me an error "sub-rocess/usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"

WHAT IS THAT?

EDIT: Just fix it by mistake xD i don not have idea why i was keep getting that error but both phones are working fine and installed ultrasn0w..it work GREAT!

[jaredl]

this......is.....RIDICULOUS !!! Tried all the steps to do this on my 2g. Didnt work. Tried to just restore it all back to normal with the old firmware that was on it. NOPE. it wont restore at all. stuck in recovery mode or whatever it is with the usb cord and itunes logo. Now what ?

**EDIT** OMG i think its working now. i can only hope.

**EDIT** well after all of that it decided to tell me to update itunes. im not sure if i even want this 3.0 stuff. i was just going to try it out. now im trying to restore back to 2.2.1 and guess what......ERROR 2746BULLSHIT347

Worked beautifully the first time! Thanks for putting this guide together!

Could you please be a bit more specific? by "wont work" i'm assuming it didt work as far as getting your phone jailbroken and after jailbreaking you dont have a signal? or after installing the original/stock 3.0 firmware you dont have a signal? the redsn0w failed during the jailbreaking process? did it freeze? which is it?

[dhirah]

Hi,
thanks for replying. actually the process of jailbreaking worked great. the step-by-step was clear for me and i followed every step of the way just as stated in this link. but after jailbreaking, i didnt receive any signal after leaving my iphone over 6 hours to check if the whole thing works. i hope it's clear enough for u to understand my situation.could u please help?
