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

POST

Posted July 3, 2010 at 12:40am by iClarified

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:
- Windows
- Mac

[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.

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

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

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 !

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.

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
