  • haha woot just got 1st place in a guitar competition and won $300! im going to buy iphone 3gs and unlock it and use t-mobile

  • hey,

    I have a New iphone 3g on firmware 3.0.1. I want to jailbreak it and unlock it. So I downloaded the 3.0 ipsw and tried doing it. I did evrything as you said and when it says connecting to itunes on my iphone and when red snow says waiting to reboot your iphone, the red snow program quits unexpectedly and the phone starts back normally. I tried this couple of times and its doing the same thing. Is it because I have the latest ITunes. What am I doing wrong and what can I do to fix it?

  • it wont let me downgrade to 3.0.

    wut should i do to fix it?

  • u can jailbreak your 3.1 iphone but it wont unlock

    look for pwnagetool for jailbreak but NOT UNLOCK

  • Really easy to follow! thank you so much

  • does this also bypass the need for a data plan?

  • I just bought a 3GS a few weeks ago & I did the Apple update to 3.1 on Sept. 26th. My computer is Windows based. I want to jailbreak my phone, but I've been searching for step-by-step instructions & haven't found any specifically for 3GS 3.1. Am I just a dinglebrain or is this not available yet? Thanks. :)

  • iphone 3GS on 3.1 can't be jailbroken right now. Please subscribe so you can stay updated, ill upload a video tutorial step by step the same day the dev team releases the 3.1 jailbreak.

  • Great...thank you ideemac. I've subscribed as you suggested.

  • here's my question, so after unlcocking iphone, once i change my service to tmobile, can i still use all the apps(including google maps, youtube and other network services)?

  • yea the iphone will work the same way it would with att.

  • Eek, so I turned the power off and plugged it back in while holding the home button and the iTunes/USB icon thing popped up. Then, on redsn0w, it said "waiting for reboot." However, it's been stuck on that very spot for about an hour now. What do I do?

  • PLEASE HELP ME after i installed redsn0w it asked me to restart and I did but the phone never came back on again, even tryed restoring but that even didn't work

  • try holding the home and power button until the phone restarts. Or put it in DFU mode and restore it. When redsn0w asks you to reboot the iPhone, you should manually restart it by holding the power button and sliding to power off.

  • So I just brought a used Iphone 3GS from EBay. The problem with this is, that I have a Tmoblie sim and obviously it wont work. How do I know which version it is running if I cant get into it to see?

  • Good question, you should have found that out before you bought it. Either way you need to activate the phone so try using redsn0w and follow this tutorial.

  • As it turns out...I had an old AT&T sim that allowed me to open it up to see. from thereon I followed the procedure. Very easy and straightforward...thanks!!

  • pls help me i accidentally downloaded 3.1 firmware on my i phone 3gs i called apple and it cannot be downgraded back to 3.0 do u know how to downgade to 3.0 and unlock my i phone. i tried all the videos and they have not worked.

  • you will have to wait for the 3.1 jailbreak.

  • thanks for the guidance. J/B Unlocked my new 3GS perfectly

  • hey there, I'm planning to get the 3gs and I want to jailbreak/unlock the phone...how would I do that if the phone doesn't come with a sim card. The phone only works with ATT. I've never used an iphone before could you tell me if this process will work? I'm currently using tmobile. Please let me know so I can decide whether to buy it or not....great vid...thanks for your help ;)

  • If you purchase an iPhone 3GS, make sure that it isn't running the new 3.1 firmware, because 3.1 can't be jailbroken right now. If the phone has either 3.0.1 or 3.0 and under firmware, you should buy it and you can unlock it to use with tmobile.

  • can i restore my iphone 3g 3.0.1 back to factory settings after jailbreaking? i dont need to but do i have to unlock if using red sn0w?

  • There is no officail jailbreak for 3.1 only for mac. Your going to put ur iPhone/iPod touch into dfu node and restore

  • ive got 3.1 and version 0.7 redsnow. what do i need to do? it doesnt read it, says firmware is something . help plz?

  • i have got 3.1 at the moment but i have the 3.0 file and open it through redsnow but once i start jailbreaking it has a black screen. i dont see the hdd picture or anything. can u please help me?

  • So am I to understand that there is no break for 3.0.1, but instead you have to install the old 3.0 which there is a break for?

  • there is a jailbreak for 3.0.1, you just have to select 3.0 when running redsn0w, because 3.0.1 and 3.0 are so similar that the jailbreak works the same way.

  • Oh I see. Thank you.

  • Why won't redsn0w read my firmware file?!

    it's 3.0.1 firmware file (iPhone1,2_3.0.1_7A400_Restore­). Each time it says it cannot recognize it! Grrrrrrr

  • you need to download 3.0... (NOT 3.0.1) it wont recognize 3.0.1

  • when my iphone is off and plug it in it says redsnow has stopped working and stops everything

  • You may have the wrong firmware. Make sure you download the 3.0 firmware (NOT 3.0.1) and make sure its for your iPhone Gen. Either 2G, 3G, or 3GS.

  • is an iphone 3gs 3.01 i downloaded iPhone2,1_3.0_7A341_Restore

  • Can something go wrong?

  • even if something goes wrong you can always restore it back to your last back up. That's why its best to sync and back up your iphone/ipod before attempting to jailbreak.

  • i mean on*

  • yea

  • thx :D

  • Does this work in windows xp?

  • man i just wanted to thak you so much it took me lyk an hour to figure out how to jailbreak this 3gs but thanks to your video i got it done

  • wait... what

  • to jailbreak just follow the video. thats it.

  • can u jb without unlock

  • yes if you only want to jailbreak then after redsn0w is finished jailbreaking just don't install ultrasn0w for the unlock.

  • thx sooo much for showing how to unlock it! other videos didnt :)

  • this video helped alot man thanx

  • does restore frimware in the description are for iphone 3gs 3.0.1

  • the firmware in tehe description is for iPhone 3GS 3.0, if you want to restore to 3.0.1 just use itunes.

  • I followed this procedure last night and am very happy with results thus far. I haven't tried yet but can I just hook back up to iTunes and sync/add music like usual?

  • Yea everything wiu iTunes works he same way. But if a new firmware comes out don't update or you will lose your jailbreak. Please subscribe if you haven't already thanks for watching.

  • it works!!!! thanks so much man

  • do you need to leave in the mode right after activation? or can i resync it with itunes? to get all my contacts and stuff back.... like restore from backup or just leave it?

  • I NEED HELP. ok I've tried this many times and I always end at the same problem. I download red snow and the firmware (I have an iPhone 3GS with 3.0.1 and a pc) and after I extract the files for red snow and run it and click browse and select the firmware it always says the firmware is unrecognized. I know the firmware download comes as a zip file and I've extracted all the stuff but it never works. Can you walk me through step by step on what to do after downloading both the files? Thanks

  • the firmware isn't suppose to come zipped. You need to download it with Firefox browser to get it in IPSW format ( cube with itunes logo)

  • ok that could be the problem then lol. ok ill try that now

  • i only installed redsnow. i cant install ultra snow due to no internet connection. and im not sure the type of iphone i have i think i have a regular 3 g not really sure how to tell and im runnng firmware 04.26.08 wit a tmobile sim 3.0.1 version

  • It's not working for me.

    The iphone is a 3GS with firmware 3.0 on it. I followed all the instructions up to plugging it back in while holding the home button to go into recovery mode.

    When I do that it shows the usb cord connecting to the itunes CD like the video shows but nothing happens automatically after that as shown in the video. I shut down and restarted the iphone now.

    What am I doing wrong and what should I do from here? Do I need itunes installed?

  • yes you need itunes install.

  • Yes thanks, I did that and I think it's done and jailbroken now.

    This is not for me though, I've never had to deal with Apple products before. I don't even know how to put songs on this damn thing. It doesn't work like an ipode, it doesn't like me just hook up and drag songs onto it using itunes or winamp.

    Someone in my family just bought the thing and assumed I would magically know everything about it. I guess there is a lot more I need to look up. Thanks for the useful video.

  • Cool, glad that my video helped. I'll be happy to help you with anything iPhone related, in return I'm asking you to subscribe, I do upload the latest videos so you can stay updated when new firmwares are released.

  • ok this is my deal. I believe i successfully jailbreaked my iphone. I have cydia and icy in my apps. when i try a access cydia i do not have a internet connection. i inserted my t mobile card by it self no turbo sim. i dont get a siginal. my signal bars look like a flatline. DEAD. what can i do to continue moving forward?

  • Did you install ultrasnow from cydia? Jailbreaking is half the process. You need to unlock the iPhone using ultrasnow to be able to use your tmobile sim. Toward the end of my video I show how to install ultrasnow. Reboot after install. Also you need to turn off 3G before inserting sim.

  • after the jail break i cant get a internet connection. its my first time doing this and its very confusing i dont even knw what i just did. please help u replied to my comments before but they did not help at all. i think im not asking the right questions.

  • Lol your right about that. If you want he best answers from me then I need detailed questions. Okay so your internet doesn't work, I need to know what iPhone you have, Which firmware your on, and what sim card are u using.

  • O i see.

  • it was a 3.0 firmware to

  • o i mean it works for the new iphone 3gs and all iphones.

  • errr the older one (the 0.7.2 redsnow) worked fine on my ipod touch 2g

  • i was wondering, what is the difference between the older version of redsnow and the newest version?

  • The new one is updated for the newer 3.0 firmware.

  • Well my iPhone bricked last night on 3.0 so I went ahead and loaded up 3.0.1.

    Followed all the directions, using the 3.0 file and what not. Whenever redsn0w says "waitinf for reboot" or whatever, the phone never reboots and I have to do it manually.

    Then once it says "Downloading Jailbreak Data" and redsn0w says done, nothing happens. Phone just keeps displaying the same thing.

    Never had this issue before, andy suggestions?

  • when redsn0w says waiting for reboot and nothing happens on the iphone, simply unplug the wire and replug it back in.

  • ok i think i successfuly jailebreaked the phone but and I have put my t mobile sim but I cant get a siginal? please help!

  • jailbreak is only the first half, now you need to install ultrasn0w in cydia. Towards the end of the video I show how to add the repo to sources in cydia and install utlrasn0w. Remember to reboot after ultrasn0w and disable 3G.

  • Ok I get all the way to the ramdisk and then it just freezes on that and says it done but I don't see no pineapple n Mai fone reboots to normal??? Why????

  • You may have the wrong firmware. Make sure you download the 3.0 firmware (NOT 3.0.1) and make sure its for your iPhone Gen. Either 2G, 3G, or 3GS.

  • so what da next step after the jail break? simply installin da new sim card ?

  • follow the video, after jailbreak is to install ultrasn0w using cydia, which will unlock your phone enabling you to putting in any sim.

  • Hey, awesome vid, but what do you mean, "unlock" your iPhone?

  • unlock means to be able to use any sim card you want on the iphone.

  • oh, gotcha, lol this is my first time jailbreaking xD I just finished so.... I'm guessing I use Cydia as like, a "jailbroken" app store?

  • this is great tutorial, worked great, i just hope i don't have the problems other people in EU have had with the telephone component giving out after 20 minutes. Thanks!

  • when it gets to waiting to reboot it freezes and wont turn on and im on a mac.

  • unplug the wire and then wait one sec plug wire back in.

  • i am having trouble i get through it till i get to the waiting to reboot then i have to restore the ipod so what should i do???

  • GREAT FUCKIN HELP!!!! thanks alot

  • i have different directions...but i tweak it to still make it work but it doesnt reboot after redsnow says complete just stays on downloading jailbreak data forever...

  • when it tells me to do different things then what u did like hold corner button for 3 secs then hold both home and corner for 10 the hold home for 30. so i did all that and it starts jailbreaking but it gets stuck at "waiting for reboot". Please HELP ME!

  • if you get stuck on waiting for reboot, unplug the wire, wait 1 second then replug the wire back in.

  • yep, had the same problem and this works fine. Thankyou

  • im having problems with mine firmwear my computer doesnt find it. it tells me no items fro your search. PLEASE HELP>>

  • You may have the wrong firmware. Make sure you download the 3.0 firmware (NOT 3.0.1) and make sure its for your iPhone Gen. Either 2G, 3G, or 3GS.

  • repo666.ultrasn0w isnt working for me :( what should i do it only says... the indicated repository could not be found. this could be because you are trying to add a legacy installer repository ( these are not supported). Also, this interface is only capable of working with exact repository URLs. if you host a repository and are having issues please contact the author of cydia with questions you have....  PLEASE HELP ME !:(

  • A lot of users has also sent me messages saying ultrasn0w's respository isn't working. I'm working right now to find another source. Please subscribe so you can be updated.

  • Um when i do the part where i hold the buttons and it freezes at the part where it says waiting for reboot. What am i suppose to do?

  • unplugg the wire then wait 1 second and replugg it back in.

  • Can someone please explain WHY you've got to download the 3.0 firmware and not the 3.0.1 if that's the one I want?

  • You can update to 3.0.1 using itunes. If you want to jailbreak then you need to upload 3.0 into redsn0w because they didn't update redsn0w 0.8 to jailbreak 3.0.1. Since 3.0.1 is a small patch that only updates the SMS, 3.0 will still work with redsn0w to jailbreak 3.0.1

  • AAAAAAHHH finally. Now that makes sense dude. How long does the Dev team usually take to come up with a Jailbreak for a firmware update?

  • Time varies. They didn't update the 3.0.1 jailbreak because they didn't have to. Using redsn0w 0.8 and firmware 3.0 works fine. Firmware 3.1 will be released in september. So look out for that

  • My sister just bough a 3GS this afternoon. Jailbroke it and everything, but now I can't connect to Cydia to download Ultrasn0w. Cydia keeps loading forever and never actually does. Could it be down or soemthing? Without Ultrasn0w my sister is really screwed. Help!!!

  • Did you try soft reset? Hold home and power button down until phone restarts.

  • ok everybody i found out how to fix the "unable to recognize IPSW" error. U HAVE TO USE FIREFOX TO DOWNLOAD THE IPSW OR IT WILL NOT WORK

  • ive the iphone 3gs and 3.0.1 firmware so therefore ive dowoaded 3.0.1 ispw as well as redsn0w 0.8 from the link.... but when i open redsnow as instructed and browse and selcet ispw it does not recognise!

  • you need to download 3.0 firmware (NOT 3.0.1)

  • Yeah dont worry about it ive already done it... thanks anyway ill subscribe too

  • aaarrrggghhh...ive already downloaded this ispw firmware, how do i find the "BOX" icon in the file? what do i have to extract? pleeeeease help me

  • use Firefox browser to download it.

  • try simpleiphoneunlock. net

    really quick and simple! definitely recommended!

  • nice video mate!

    how did you get the little red ripple thing whenever you clicked on the screen?

    thanks :)

  • Its a feature that comes with the screen recording app im using to record my desktop. Its's called Screenium. Its only for recording use, not regular everyday use;

  • I tried to JB a 2g with 3.0.1 on it. Redsn0w gets to the waiting to reboot screen and there is no activity. Any suggestions? Also I JB my 3g with no prob. Thanks for the vid.

  • try unpluging the wire then plugging it back in.

  • I tried that. Nothing

  • I'm attempting a jailbreak on a 3.0.1 iphone 3g phone.

    I DL'd the ipsw file but when I'm at the point of putting my phone into DFU mode redsnow crashes.

    I also have tried to restore from the 3.0 ipsw file but itunes says that the file is not compatible. I also downloaded the ipsw file using firefox. Any ideas?

  • yea you have the wrong firmware. Go to the download link to the right of the video, and select 3.0 firmware for your iPhone, iPhone 3G, or iPhone 3GS

  • i have 3.0.1, do i have tto download the 3.0 firmware for a jailbreak ??

  • yes download 3.0 for your iPhone version either 2G 3G or 3GS Use firefox browser to download it so you get it in IPSW format.

  • okay, what changes on my iphone ?

    cuz i only want cydia ...
