How to Jailbreak Your iPhone 3GS Using RedSn0w (Windows) [5.0]
Comments

Do I have to upgrade iPhone 3GS from 5.0 to 5.01 in order to get the untethered jailbreak? Thanks, SanDiegoSEO@SpencerHaley.com

error 3194 keeps coming when i try restoring to 5.0 on itunes

Does this works for ios 5.0.1?

I have a 3gs on 4.0 custom ipsw, and on baseband 5.11.07, and unlocked, can I jailbreak update to 5.0.1 and keep my baseband and unlock?

Hi, after jailbreaked me iphone 3gs ios 5.0 all was work well. But after a few days the phone started to reset itself, this is so annoying that it happens several times a day. Please, any advice how to prevent it.

Hi, Does anyone knows if I can upgrade to iOS 5 if I have an iPhone 3GS running 4.3.5 on BB 5.12.02 (newboot)? Thanks in advance

Excellent

dear all, I've just successfully updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5, but the issue is that " after installed ultrasnow, the sim still could not recognize". Has anyone ever faced up with this problem? please share me your experience. Thank in advance.

Will redsn0w autodetect my bootrom version?

Can anyone comment on the Battery Life and performance on a Old Bootrom 3GS? Thanks

hey guys i got a problem , i have 3gs with old bootrom, i used the custom firmware made by (sn0wbreeze-v2.8b8), using windows 7, then i used that custom firmware to shift restore using itunes. Then everything went well. Then device started i was using t-mobile, which it cannot activate then i used (redsn0w_win_0.9.9b6). but when i select the custom firmware made by snowbreeze it says, firmware not recognised. Then i used STOCK firmware and which was identified, and proceed the jailbreak with that. along with jailbreak i selected install ipad baseband and hactivate. But when the process finished. i still have to go through the activation process using authorised sim. Also i tried the methods to buypass the activation by dailing 112 in emergency call. if worked couple of times. then screen would go black and again i was out of phone. I also tried using three fingers to swipe in the emergency call windows while voice over is active. but the notification bar did not appear. The bottomline is i cannot get into my phone using t-mobile simcard. Any help is appreciated?

Hi everyone!!! I've already jailbreak my iphone 3gs, but it stuck on the apple boot logo. Please kindly help me to solve this problem!!!! Thank in advance!!

works fanstasic, use sn0wbreeze to create ipsw to safe bb, then use redsn0w to boot into dfu (extra's then pwnmode) itunes to restore (itunes 10.5) shift and restore and then restore and then jailbreak and then boot teathard (booo lol!) working fine.

Which iPhone do you have? And which baseband and iOS you updated to 5? Thanks

iPhone 3GS, Baseband 5.13.04.

For those having any issues with the SIM Card, check out the following: http://forums.tipb.com/ios-5-forum/220740-jailbroken-3gs-upgraded-ios-5-now-no-service-no-sim.html Hope this helps!

I had a perfectly working unlocked and jailbroken iPhone 3GS, but of course I had to go ahead and try to get iOS5 on it. I didn't know I need to preserve my baseband while updating it, so now ultrasn0w will not unlock it for me and I'm left without a phone line. Is there any way to unlock an iPhone 3GS with 05.16.05 baseband? If not, is there any expected change that will allow me to do so?

The supported basebands for the iPhone 3G and 3GS are 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01, 05.13.04, and 06.15.00. The baseband supported for the iPhone4 is 01.59.00. (from the Dev teams website, I dont think that there will be support for any other basebands just yet, especially not for the 3Gs, as we have been waiting for that for over a year. I just upgraded, jailbroke and unlocked my 3Gs and had to put in the ipad baseband, I just this minute did it, all seems to be working ok, but I cant vouch for the GPS at the moment until I try it tomorrow .. there have been reports that the ipad baseband messes up the gps

But an iPhone without GPS is better than an iPhone that doesnt make calls ...

Just checked GPS on maps and it pinpointed me exactly, so i will take that as GPS working for me.

Quick question 3Gs on 06.15.00 baseband, I already upgraded to iOS5 with sn0wbreeze and unlocked with ultrasnow, and although the phone is working fine, everynow and then the signal drops, and I loose wifi, then a few seconds later it comes back My question, if I jailbreak again with redsn0w, as I am on 06.15.00, will I still be able to unlock with Ultrasn0w Thanks in advance for your help Billy

Update. Just updates to iOS5 following the tutorial here, ipad baseband, all working fine, no calls dropping, and GPS seems to be working now.

Could anyone please feedback on this is working or not? "The jailbreak is also tethered for all devices except the old bootrom iPhone 3GS.... " Does it get untethered? Any other problems? Is it slow on a 3gs?

Dear jailbreaker!! my phone is Iphone 3gs, and it is on the old bootrom. The question is that Can I still update my phone to ISO 5? and another problem is that I always encounter with error 3194 while I'm trying to restore 4.3.3 as well as 4.3.5. Can u solve this problem for me? In fact, I am very appreciate with Iphone dev-team that always provide the features for all iphone user! Hopefully, You'll solve and reply me asap. Thank in advance!!!

1. Add the following entries into your Windows hosts file: this is c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts 74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com 2. Download your ipsw file. (Mine was iPad 1 4.2.1) 3. Go to Tinyumbrella and download their Fixrecovery file. (2 are provided 4.2.1 and 4.3 – use according to the OS you downloaded from IPSW step 2) 4. Run the device in DFU mode and run the Fixrecovery. 5. Open iTunes and place your device in restore mode (Hold Home buton and power together for abou 20 to 30 seconds) 6. Hold Shift key and click on Restore. Search for your ipsw file you downloaded and sit back and wait till it finishes. You’ll experience 16xx errors use iREB and than Open iTunes and Hold Shift key and click on Restore search youtube for videos on how is done

put your phone into recovery mode then connect with itunes and press restore it will update your phone to ios 5.

Hi, I used to the above guide as steps mentioned on a 3gs/6.15.00/4.3.3 Everything went smooth but now I dont get network on my phone. Any help?

you have unofficial baseband - the iPad baseband. Go to cydia and use ultrasn0w to unlock than reboot don't forget this is a tethered jailbreak!!!

had the same experience. what i did was i jailbreaked it again with redsnow but i checked the update to ipad baseband together with the install cydia. my 3gs now runs perfectly. i was already on the 6.15 when i did that.

iBooks doesnt work on ios5 ...

Hi. this website my favorite i think. ok , i have one question need iclarified help , i have iphone 3gs 4.3.3 . how may i update to (5.0b4) ? you just show us about jailbreak but not update firmware . thank you iclearified

I am struck in this Redsnow screen: "the rest of the process takes place on your device". I leave my iphone connected to the computer for 5-10 minutes. Nothing happens. Totally a blank black screen! I unplug my iphone from computer - again blank screen. If I press home and power button, it restarts with apple logo and then I am taken to apple registration steps, which then gives me an error message like "iphone developed program portal unable to complete your activation. What should I do."

Still there... This story that is.

That was an oversight! Thanks :)

Wow!! How did this get pushed to the app!! Stop it... Are you trying to get pulled? I mean it's free and I can always go to iclarified.com and save this page as a bookmark to my desktop ;)

Why is this in the iClarified iPhone app??? Apple's gonna ban you or something!

Hahahaha. I'm not too bgriht today. Great post!
