iPhone Dev-Team Releases iOS 4.0 Jailbreak for iPhone 3G, iPod touch 2G
Comments

If you are experiencing problems while jailbreaking and your phone gets to the final step at which point it tries to reboot, then after what seems like forever just goes back to the activation screen and you are stuck with a phone that is still not jailbroken I have a couple solutions. Also if you are just having problems in general this jailbreak should work every single time if you are thorough. These are some steps or key points that you may accidentally skip: Make sure you are running the most recent version of itunes 9.2 In my experience I skipped the step where you have to click shift+restore and find the 4.0 firmware and restore it with one they give you. I had updated it using the update button so I thought I didnt need it. Once I did that it worked. Try a different computer that has worked for me once before because I think my old computer had a corrupt itunes When you are putting it in DFU mode make sure you time it correctly and even though sometimes you dont need to, hold down the home button until you get to the ramdisk logo For THOSE people who think they can use this process to unlock a 3GS and keep complaining about having problems here is the two reasons why: 1. 3G firmware starts with 1,2 and 3GS starts with 2,1 MAJOR DIFFERENCE and they dont have a jailbreak for 3GS 4.0 yet. 2. You are an idiot refer to reason #1

man... i wait the reboot thing for half day dy ! i using itouch 2g non mc . what is the problem !!??? i follow all the instruction , just dont have the pineapple thing show up . that does not matter right ??? can anyone tell me why .. please help me ... !!! =((

hi thank u dev team i followd this tutorial n first jail break n than unlock my iphone 3g its work like a charm....

Anyone having problems with SEVERE battery drainage after installing iOS4.0? Or is it just me? im getting like 1-2% of battery loss every minute! and im not even doing anything! furthermore, the iphone is burning up like a hot potato! Im facing this problem after Jailbreaking on the latest redsn0w (the one with the ibooks fix) and now im doing a complete restore and jailbreaking WITHOUT multi tasking this time (although i dont know if multitasking is the problem - its worth a shot) if anyone has any solutions to my problem HELP ME PLEASE! email - definitelydan@gmail.com thanks!

Thats my 3g updated no problems just need the 3gs so i can get to use my newer phone again.

For all these people that are trying to JB their iPhone 3GS with this tool... what's wrong with you people ?? ...Is there so many retarded that they can't understand what is written ? We are still working on iPhone 3GS JB and it will be available on iPhone 4 lauch MAYBE !! ...Stop asking there is no ETA !!

haha love the comment thats pretty funny... Hey I am trying to jailbreak a 3g 16 gb with itunes 9.2 on 4.0 firmware and it gets all the way to the end where it needs to reboot and it takes forever then once it finally does reboot it goes back to the connect to itunes screen... Ive been trying for 4 hours please help

When I get stuck in that 'connect to itunes' loop, I use blackra1n to get out of it. Google around before proceeding.

works good so far.thans

Any estimated day on when the jailbrake for iOS4 on 3gs will come out? anybody knows?

stuck on reboot screen toucg 2g starting with mc code anyone has any idea please help.

Dude, can't you read, it says non MC

We donde waste time with stupid and dumb people like this guy, enjoy your brick ;)

We don't waste our time with stupid and dumb people like this guy, enjoy your brick ;)

Well, if you read before you jumped in, you would realize that it says in the first line, NON MC, but of course am betting you didn't. But since you already got yourself in this mess, i will tell you what to do! turn the ipod off completely....connect it to the computer with itunes open....turn the ipod on with the power button and home button, as soon as you see the apple logo, let go of the power button, but keep holding the homebutton. and restore that way.

I have a ipod touch 2g and after i follow the steps and went to DFU mode the pineapple man doesn't show up just a black screen that does nothing, what to do now?

Updated 3G (3.1.2, Baseband 4.26.08, Pwnaged, Offically activated), then redsn0wed. No problems.

My Iphone is 3GS 3.1.3 with baseband of 05.12.01, and is stucked on emergency call screen and itune usb logo. cannot be jaibroken with spirit. please some one should help out because i can't do anything with iphone at the moment

Spirit will only jailbreak iphones that have been activated with at&t. you need to activate your phone in order to jailbrake it and unlock it.

also have 3.1.3., baseband 5.12.01 on 3GS. was able to jailbreak with Spirit and finally able to unlock this morning after using the new ultrasnow :) waiting for 4.0 jailbreak on 3gs.

just turn off and on , it happen the same to me

Is there any other way to jailbreak iphone 3gs with baseband 05.12.01 apart from the official at&t sim.

No. The 3GS cannot be jailbroken. Sorry and have a good day.

Here are more examples of idiots who can't read and understand

Well then why not fill everyone in on some estimated dates then?

Any Estimated time on when the jailbrake for iOS4 on 3GS will come out?

I tried downloading the redsnow winzip file but it just pops up with "Cannot open file, doesnt appear to be a valid achive" what am I doing wrong?

Im trying to open the windows version

My Iphone is 3GS 3.1.3 with baseband of 05.12.01, and is stucked on emergency call screen and itune usb logo. cannot be jaibroken with spirit. please some one should help out because i can't do anything with iphone at the moment

Does anybody know when the jailbreak for iPhone 3GS is gonna be released? I don't expect exact dates, just approximately (1 day, 1 week..) I wanna update my 3GS to iOS 4.0 and need an unlock.

i hope soon maybe a week :( hope it wil be for tomorow sorry for my english;)

so no word on if this will work for the ipod touch 3g?

Works PERFECTLY on my iPod touch 2G. Love it<3 Was very easy :D Dev-Team <3 Puzzles me a bit why Apple didn't leave the option for both home-screen background and multitasking available, since it's barely slower than before.

Stuck on the "waiting for reboot"..touch 2G b5-3

touch 2g waiting on reboot screen this jailbreak for mb codes only not for mc code what should we do to?.is there ant ideas.

will i be able to recover from backup or is it better to set up as a new phone?

3.1.3 or 4?? it'll be better to set it up as a new phone to prevent unwanted files from coming back onto the phone and the new os .......... but if its something important u want back then u have no choice. in my opinion new phone .......

i ran redsnow, IPSW for OS 4.0, after several minutes my phone booted back on my old 3.1.3 firmware .. did i do anything wrong??

I think you have to first do a normal install of 4.0 and run Redsn0w, but I am not sure. Wait for the tutorial.

Im having the same problems i have been fighting with this for 3hrs already cant get to install. Please advise

Hello I have the same problem.. but i do a oficial iphone update then i run the jailbreak an instal the blacksn0w from cydia. It's ok to do a oficial update!! sory for my bad english! have a nice day

Yeap got it working update first thru itunes later do the redsn0w update and in cydia get the new ultrasn0w fix for the new baseband. iPhone 3G - 16 Multitasking on Wallpapers on Battery % on SLOW iPhone dosen't matter I live with it daily

Will this work with today's release of iOS4 or just the GM?

Will not jailbreak MC model

this redsn0w update support iphone 3G ad iPodtouch 2G only as for the moment.. do not yet update wait for the tutorials..

man!!! my phone is jailbroken, version 3.1.3 (7E18) with a baseband 05.12.01 , and unlocked, is it gonna be unlocked after the this new update? thanks man!!!

how about 3GS? Will this work?

Nope. And who still owns a 3G?!

Will NOT work for 3GS yet. Only for iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G.

Sigh, you fail big time...
