How to Perform an Untethered Jailbreak of Your iPhone 3GS (Windows) [5.0.1]
Comments

Dzięki wielkie :D

I followed the following steps, my iphone ran many scripts and rebooted for couple of times.. Then it went to recovery mode and it didnt come out of that..I googled for coming out of recovery mode. For this i need to connect my iphone to my laptop. But after the jailbreak program ran, the laptop stopped recognizing the iphone (I tried all the usb ports)..When I went and checked the Device manager, all the drivers are in yellow color (Warning symbol). I am not able to connect any device to my laptop. Please help!!!

itune file down .. But. I lost my software

All I can give is a BIG THUMBS UP to all of you at iClarified. The tutorial is clear and easy to follow. Thank you to the Development Team for making my life awesome. I am not sure how, but it just worked. So, I post my story in detail, and maybe someone can benefit from it. My wife traded in my dead 3GS (error 28) to Apple store with $149 for a NEW iPhone 3GS, 32G, QR203xxxxxx (January 2012, cleaned up from 'qr2030ga3ns' - refurbished?), ISO 5.0.1, baseband 05.16.05, bootloader 6.4_M3S2, Model MB718LL. She was told it is a brand new, locked 3GS iphone and can not use with another carrier, except AT&T. So, I run f0rcecast and it said it is not jailbreakable and need to upgrade to iPadBB to unlock. After searching, I found out the iphone 3GS after week 28, 2011 will not work with iPadBB, and BB 05.16.05 can not be unlocked by ultrasn0w. I was so disappointed, but thinking maybe I can just jailbreak it and use it as a Touch by following this tutorial. (Although there is another site claim to downgrade it to 4.1 and...to unlock it - in Chinese, I think it is too much work, plus lots of risk.) I run redsn0w 0.9.10b6 just like this tutorial describes (check install Cydia & unlock), and it was jailbreak. Shut it down several times and it boot without a problem. Very very happy. So, I put my T-mobile pay-to-go SIM card and it works, without running untrasn0w or anything. Wow!!! not sure what has happened. But, it work. Thank you, Thank you. The only thing I have not done is to register my iphone with Apple. I also did not try it with my sim card before JB it, since I assumed it is locked. So, maybe this iphone is a factory unlocked phone? Maybe the new Toshiba chip can be unlocked with 05.16.05 BB on the old bootloader? I also use iFaith to grab my iphone's shsh blob, thinking it will come in handy in the future, will this help? Anyway, Thank you all again for the amazing work!!!

If my memory serves me correctly, because you hadn't inserted a sim prior to JBing your device it was locked to any network. I believe that your phone is now locked to T-Mobile as it was the first sim you used.

Now after using the iphone 3GS for 1 week or so, it shows NO SERVICE. Not sure if it is 3G related problem (saw "E"-"EDGE" all the time) and I am not on a prepay minute (no data) plan. However, I did use that iphone for about a week. Try everything (you name it - reset network, airplane mode, sim in/out...), but no luck, I guess the baseband is unlockable (05.16.05) and I just got lucky to use it for a week. :(

Hi everyone!! I have just faced up with one big issue with ios 5.0.1. The problem is that my phone suddenly switch off once I unplug it. Has anyone ever encountered this problem? please kindly help me!! I look forward to your solution!! Thank in advance for your kindness

I have 3gs already unlocked and jailbroken :version 4.1, new boot loader,firmware 06.15.00.What advice to jailbreak to ios 5.0.1 and keep my unlock Thanks in anticipation.

Any luck on jailbreaking and unlocking my iPhone 3GS on firmware 5.0.1 with baseband 5.16.02 at this moment?

Hi, I tried all the steps given to jailbreak ios 5.0.1, baseband 6.15.00. Now i am getting No service. I have tried to reinstall ultrasn0w, mobile substrate, still nogo. Please help.

Hello. Run redsn0w again and select Install Cydia, Install iPad baseband, Deactivate. Read carefully WARNING about iPad baseband!!!!! And make decision what to do. I tried on my iPhone 3GS with 06.15.00 firmware modem- works fine :)

Hi, I tried all the steps given to jailbreak ios 5.0.1. Now i am getting No service. I have tried to reinstall ultrasn0w, mobile substrate, still nogo. Please help.

Hello. You have to activate your iPhone using ORYGINAL SIM card. I`ve got the same. Make big mess in my iPhone and now I have`t got possibility to make a calls. Sad :(

There are certainly a couple more details to take into consideration, but thank you for sharing this information.

Hi. Ha - Mission completed. :) iPhone jailbreaked and unlocked . All what you have to do is make a TICK next to Install iPad baseband in redsn0w (read carefully WARNING) now I can use Cydia, Installious and make a call.

Hello! i hope it will help you: use redsn0w_win_0.9.10b1 ,and go to "extras" go to "select ISPW" use the "iPhone2,1_5.0.1_9A405_Restore " you've used to upgrade ur iphone 3gs then go back ,go to jailbreak then cross "install cydia" and "install ipad baseband"... install ultrasn0w 1.2.5(repo666.ultrasn0w.com)

Same thing I did for iPhone3GS 5.0.1 with baseband modem firmware of 6.15.00 Successfully jailbreak and unlock using "redsn0w_win_0.9.10b4.zip" + ""iPhone2,1_5.0.1_9A405_Restore" + ultrasn0w 1.2.5 Just be sure before you start jailbreak and unlock you do the ff which i did after several attempts: 1. Removed SIM Card 2. Turn of 3G and Cellular Data from "Settings>Network" 3. Be sure when Jailbreaking part tick on "install iPad baseband" ( which takes a lot of time so BE PATIENCE) 4. After successful jailbreak be sure not to select location service option and then install ultrasn0w (which is already in the "CYDIA>SOURCES>Cydia/Telesphoreo) utilities. 5. After successful install of ultrasn0w the OS should reboot then you can now see that the network signal will immediately turn to "Searching..." to "No Service" then insert you SIM card then that it.

hi guy!! I already followed ur instruction. The fact is that after I jailbreak again, I really see my network service, but it happen just a while and then it turn to "searching" again!! do u still have more solution for this issue? thz in advance for ur kindness.

i too am stuck with searching, why does dec-team doesn't reply, so many are stuck after JB for 5.0.1, i feel theres some issue with unlocking. earlier i performed tethered JB for 5.0.1, a week ago, but this untethered has not getting solved.please share, if anyone has any clue of getting out of this. (i did it on 3gs, 4.2.1, 6.15 to 5.0.1)

Hello! i hope it will help you: use redsn0w_win_0.9.10b1 ,and go to "extras" go to "select ISPW" use the "iPhone2,1_5.0.1_9A405_Restore " you've used to upgrade ur iphone 3gs then go back ,go to jailbreak then cross "install cydia" and "install ipad baseband"... install ultrasn0w 1.2.5(repo666.ultrasn0w.com)

Hei All I've updated my iPhone 3gs using redsn0w_win_0.9.10b3. everything went fine but i'm unable to get the signal. the firmware is 06.15.00. tried a couple of troubleshooting steps but couldn't get any solution. Can anyone please help me.

I unlocked my iPhone this way. Hopefully this will help: [ I own a 3gs recently untethered 5.0.1 new bootrom iPhone with the iPad baseband... say that five times fast.]. Firstly, I restored my firmware with a custom ipsw stitched with shsh blobs using redsn0w 0.9.10b3 Secondly, I jailbroke the iPhone after checking the boxes "install cydia", and "install ipad baseband"(don't check this if you already have a viable baseband...obviously), Next uh ly, I installed Ultrasn0w 1.2.5 in cydia. Finally, I rebooted my iphone and inserted the sim card. After about thirty seconds, the beautiful letters of t-mobile came into the service area. And there was much rejoicing.Cheers.

Hi All I'm using iPhone 3gs. I've upgraded from ios 4.1 to ios 5.0.1. Everything went fine but the sim is not working. I mean the it says no service. I've restored it, turned on/off data roaming and 3G (it works in some cases), hasn't worked at all. I've tried alternate sims but same error. Can anyone help me. I'm stuck..

Hi, I have an activation problem, it says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes. If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support" I'm at the step when I have to say if my iPhone 3Gs has the newer or older model, but I can't get through to settings to check that out because I can not activate it. What can I do, just try until it activates? Can I unplug it? Wout it ruin the process and the iPhone if I unplug it? And I don't know if it is coincidence or what but my iPhone is not detecting my SIM card and I opened iTunes and it doesn't detect the iPhone neither, it only says I should unplug it and insert a SIM card. Please help me! Thanks!

Finally I could activate my iPhone 3GS but I still have the problem with the SIM card, it is not detecting it. I've already read in some forums about this problem with the 3GS, it seems that happens quite often. I need some help, please!

Thanks to the team for this JB, great job ! Done my 3GS successfully but took some trials and erros. I had tried to follow step 4 but encountered error when selecting the IPSW, "That IPSW is not supported by this version of Redsnow" (I tried both 0.9.10b1 and b2), in the end I bypassed this and went straight into Jailbreak as my 3GS was already on 5.0.1 At Step 10 Redsnow hanged showing "waiting for reboot", phone was restarted in normal mode. Quit Redsnow, put phone back into DFU mode and ran Redsnow, and restarted the sequence. Luckily Redsnow went straight into step 10 and continued downloading Ramdisk. Hope this helps those who are unfortunate enough to encounter the same thing I did.

A better question for you genuises: can this tutorial lead us to unthered jailbreak AND UNLOCK all of the 3GS iphone version including the 4.3.4-5 (with locked baseband 05.16.02)? Thanks a bunch!!!

I have a 3gs 16gb currently locked into version 4.3.5/ baseband 05.16.02. Can I follow the tutorial above to jailbreak AND unlock it? I'm new to this so I'm confused. Please advise. Thanks in advance

Hi, I have an iphone 3GS and I follow this tutorial to jailbreak it with 5.0.1, but the problem is that this tutorial upgrade my baseband too and now I can't use utrasnow to unlock :( and I really need the unlock.. Can anyone help me ASAP!! my current baseband is 05.16.05

You should have used the custom ISPW as mentioned in the begining of the tutorial. Now you will have to wait for an unlock for your current firmware. Keep looking and best of luck

Do you think it will take how long to be released?? Cuz i need the phone fast, and I don't wanna break my gps with the ipad baseband :S

You cannot unlock the iphone 3Gs on 5.16.05 baseband yet. You would need to wait for the unlock to come.

I know, but I'm asking if it will take to long to be released the new unlock for the 05.16.05

At last! Something clear I can uendrstand. Thanks!

The unlock from BB 5.16.02 onwards has not been out for a while now. So yeah there is a possiblity that the unlock would still take time to be out.

If I preserve the lower baseband by creating a custom IPSW using the other tutorial, can I then perform the untethered 5.0.1 jailbreak described here, or do I have to use the untethered one in order to keep the lower baseband? Thanks!

i have a 3gs iphone and i went through the tutorial with no problems but when i got done. the phone stopped downloading and the screen wrote Panic: We are hanging here.... couldn't power off, couldn't get off of the screen and unplugging it would not work, what's going on?

Hi. Pls advise if this process can be used for upgrading an already jailbroken Iphone 3gs on firmware 4.1(8B117) modem firmware (6.15) to ios5.0.1. Look forward. Tks.

Yes, you can. Pls click on the custom IPSW procedure at begining of the tutorial and follow the instructions

Hey, if I am using unlocked, and I upgrade to 5.0.1 via iTunes, then it will locked again. So, if I perform the above mentioned jailbreak, then I will need ultrasnow after jailbreak to get it unlocked again, right ?? Please help!

Do not use the above mentiones procedure. Click on the Custom IPSW procedure at the begining of the tutorial and you can jailbreak and unlock

Sheeraz - i did the custom FW and installed in DFU mode but it says invalid sim on my 3gs. what am i missing?

Okay thanks, I did that ! Then I selected the NO_BB type of firmware while restoring using iTunes. Then, I should install ultrasnow, right ? Only then it will be unlocked, right ?

Also, will this be untethered for even the people with new bootrooms or not ?

Rooney - Rerun Redsnow and select extras and Custom IPSW and select the stock IPSW. Click the back button and select Jailbreak and select Install Cydia only, do not select Deactivate. It will get thru. Then using cydia install ultrasn0w to unlock

When you think about it, that's got to be the right anewsr.

Please help -I have iPhone 3gs ios4.1(8B117) jailbreaked locked phone(unlocked using ultra snow) with latest itunes -I want to upgrade 4.1 to ios 5.0.1 and untethered jailbeak and unlock -I downloaded iPhone2,1_5.0.1_9A405_Restore.ispw and tried to upgrade iphone with iTunes but itunes got stuck in "Preparing for restore" got a 1601/1602 error.I tried many times but no go. should i first do a legal upgrade of ios5.0.1 from apple ...then restore using above firmware.. please explain wat is base band and why it is important.... what i need to do ...please help me guys....i am very noob.....i am no techie.....need detailed instructions to jailbreak....help help.... :(

Can any help?i am stuck at activation after a restore and jailbreak.

Run redsnow again and in extras select manual IPSW and select the stock IPSW, the original click on the back button and select jailbreak and follow the procedure. Select Install Cydia only do not select Deactivate. It will go thru the activation

Hi, I think I have the same problem, it says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes. If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support" I'm at the step when I have to say if my iPhone 3Gs has the newer or older model, but I can't get through to settings to check that out because I can not activate it.

And I don't know if it is coincidence or what but my iPhone is not detecting my SIM card. Please help me! Thanks!

Great job for making this an easy install! Will definetly donate to the cause! I had an Itunes updated Iphone 3GS to 5.0.1 with the 6.15.00 baseband. I restored the phone using the custom ISPW and using Redsn0w, jailbreaked the phone in less then 20 minutes! Glad I waited for the untethered unlock! You all rock!

hey mark, im using 3gs and baseband 6.15.00 too , but im getting this "no service" error , do u get it as well?

Hi Mark, How do I get past the activation.

Mark, Please let me know Step -to-Step how to Jailbreak iPhone 3GS for BB 6.15.00, Please.

Same situation here and I do not want to risk to brick my phone....

Hi even I'm getting the same error. please let me know if you can get any solution. Thanks in advance

has anyone got the solution?? I'm stuck with this brick for over 3 days..

good night have a iphone 3g plus rednsn0w not recognize iphone in dfu mode myself what I do already used the administrator mode in windows 7 and XP systems no longer recognize my phone in DFU mode .... how do you solve

@kadu try to click back until the jailbreak button then redo it..i also encountered that

Is it true that you CANNOT install the 6.15.00 baseband on NEW BOOTROM iPhone 3GS? If yes, is there any other way to unlock the NEW BOOTROM iPhone 3GS with untethered jailbreak?

For what is the "Deactivate" option for? Thanks!

Hi, I'm already on Official iOS 5.0.1 1. Should I skip Step Four on Manually select IPSW? 2. If I should not skip Step Four, where can I find the official IPSW (Windows Base)? 3. Need your reply ASAP because I'm jailbreaking my iPad 1 iOS 5.0.1 as we speak Cheers in advance for the reply mate...

What's an easy to to apply the 6.15 baseband to the iPhone 3GS when using this untethered jailbreak? There should be a feature built into Redsn0w to apply the 6.15 baseband.

Does anyone know if this is gonna work if I have the iPad baseband (6.15.00)?
