Tethered 4.0 Jailbreak for iPhone 3GS With New Bootrom Coming Soon

Posted July 3, 2010 at 12:40am by Shalom Levytam

iH8Sn0w has successfully performed a tethered 4.0 jailbreak for iPhone 3GS devices with the new bootrom.

Unfortunately the jailbreak requires that you have your 3.1.2 SHSH blobs saved. Originally this was not planned for release; however, iH8Sn0w has agreed to make it public.

Alright... If anyone has their 3.1.2 SHSH blobs, NOT 3.1.3. Then I'll see if I can produce a tool that will do this job...

It could be available as early as tomorrow.

Below you can see a video demonstration posted by AKinGdom1...

Update:
You can check whether you have the new bootrom using one of these tutorials:

So when is this tool coming???

NoGoodNick - July 4, 2010 at 10:11am

[b]Still[/b] doesn't handle the MC model iDevices, which leave [i]most[/i] of us out in the cold. Plus all the various iTouch 1G and 3G users are out of luck as well. What we need is a "unified" jailbreak that will work with [b]all[/b] the various iDevices and not just jailbreaking one device at a time!

I have an iPhone 3GS, previously running jailbroken 3.1.3, now running iOS4 (new bootrom). Is it still possible for me to downgrade from iOS4 to 3.1.2 in order for me to jailbreak using a custom IPSW of iOS4? I dont have any SHSH blobs saved whatsoever.

No - July 5, 2010 at 8:32am

Nope

loureed - July 4, 2010 at 5:11am

jefflee - July 3, 2010 at 11:24pm

philip - July 3, 2010 at 9:59pm

if you got it from the uk just ask the uk carrier you originally purchased it on to unlock it. i know that o2 take up to 2 weeks to unlock it for you but you'd also need to still have an o2 sim card

Christopher Pernice - July 3, 2010 at 10:53am

I have a 3GS old boot rom running 4.0. Never been Jailbroken. modem baseband is 5.13.04... I do not have my SHSH Blobs stored... Is there any hope for me to Jailbreak?

viP4x - July 3, 2010 at 12:36pm

Not for now ...

jbones - July 3, 2010 at 2:51pm

it was an old bootrom b4 it was updated to 4.0 that changed the bootrom to new...you now have new bootrom...the new jailbreak will be out and you will hear about it on this site...

jbones - July 3, 2010 at 2:55pm

however this teathered jailbreak works if you want to chance it..i would wait. but if you have 3.1.2 saved shsh's than go for it...

cloudc0ver - July 4, 2010 at 10:56pm

@jbones updating your firmware does NOT upgrade your bootrom, only the modem baseband.

aPpLeJaM - July 3, 2010 at 5:12am

These in good news in a way, but why a Theathered Jailbreak, this is soo annoying surely they must be working to hack the newer phones etc 3gs and iPhone 4 rather then the old 3g and ipod touch. Hopefully Geohot with Limera1n will be the answer !

Joe - July 3, 2010 at 4:17am

So If I don't have a shsh... this jailbreak won't work?

Asdf - July 3, 2010 at 6:01am

What Joe asked..

NeHoMaR - July 3, 2010 at 2:20am

I think my 3G will be more expensive than 3GS in the near future, even more than 4 maybe? because with 3G you can jailbreak/unlock soooo easily.

viP4x - July 3, 2010 at 1:04am

That was a bug in sn0wbreeze 1.6.1. Try an0wbreeze 1.6.2. It fixes error 2 and error 1604 when restoring... That should work. Worked for me

Therock - July 3, 2010 at 12:46am

I have 3gs on new bootrom, but my shsh file on cydia is for 3.1.3 is this post not for me then. Huh!! I was eagerly waiting for another userland jailbreak like spirit that will work on 3.1.3 on 4G...

viP4x - July 3, 2010 at 1:06am

I am on the same situation :@ we need a REAL Jailbreak tool

mikael - July 3, 2010 at 6:26am

no, it´s not going to work . it clearly says only if you have 3.1.2 shsh "NOT 3.1.3"

Therock - July 3, 2010 at 10:34am

:( someone should get this working for 3.1.3 ..
