UPDATE FROM YOUTUBE USER "youarenothingbutskum": If you have received an error from Jailbreakme ("File Received Was Invalid"), click into Settings, then Wifi. Look for your connected Wifi Connection and then click on the blue arrow. You have to change your DNS settings by clicking on it and change it to 8.8.8.8. Then navigate back to the main Settings screen and click on Safari. After that click on Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Now try using Jailbreakme again.

IF THE ABOVE STEPS DOESN'T WORK, USE THIS LINK: www.jailbreakme.com/_/. Then click on your device model.

DEVICE MODEL:
- iPod Touch 1G = iPod1,1
- iPod Touch 2G = iPod2,1
- iPod Touch 3G 8GB MC MODEL= iPod 2,1
- iPod Touch 3G 32GB and 64GB = iPod 3,1
- iPhone 2G = iPhone 1,1
- iPhone 3G = iPhone 1,2
- iPhone 3GS = iPhone 2,1
- iPhone 4 = iPhone3,1

MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE THE CORRECT VERSION OF THE PDF IN THE DIRECTORY.



UPDATE: ALL DEVICES CAN NOW BE JAILBROKEN ON 4.0. iPhone 3GS New Bootrom on iOS4.0 (8A293), iPhone 4 on iOS4, iPod Touch 2nd Generation MC Model and iPod Touch 3rd Generation using JailbreakMe Method by going to JailbreakMe.com. Credits to Comex for another Userland Jailbreak.




THIS ENTIRE WALKTHROUGH GUIDE IS RECOMMENDED TO PEOPLE WHO ARE ADVANCED USERS OR IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO USE JAILBREAKME TO JAILBREAK TO KEEP YOUR LOVELY PWNED-SINCE-BIRTH PHONE PWNED.

This is for people who know for sure what their iBoot version. MUST BE ON OLD iBOOT WHICH IS 359.3.


UPDATE: THIS SHOULD WORK FOR iOS4.0.1 USERS. DOWNLOAD THE CUSTOMIZED PWNAGETOOL HERE: (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=700HE23I) NO BRACKETS FOR THE LINK AND MAKE THE CUSTOM FIRMWARE FOR iOS4.0.1 AND USE IT INSTEAD OF THE ONE IN THIS VIDEO (((YOU STULL HAVE TO BE ON 3.1.3 OR 3.1.2 TO DO THIS)


Okay, so I think I am the first to upload this complicated guide for people who cannot downgrade to 3.1.2 since they do not have their SHSH Blobs backed up on Saurik's server. This method is only distributed within small sites which have potential to become widely popular due to this hack.

This hack inserts the exploit from BlackRa1n and RedSn0w into the iPhone 3GS by running a simple script that takes files from the custom built 3.1.3 firmware from either Sn0wBreeze or PwnageTool and flashes those into the firmware from 3.1.3 to convert the Spirit Userland Jailbreak to a Kernel Jailbreak (RedSn0w and BlackRa1n) so that from Recovery Mode, just like on the 3.1.2 BlackRa1n jailbreak where you get your custom firmware and restore it to the custom made iOS4 firmware, so you can jailbreak your iPhone 3GS like that, but many of you are stuck with stock 3.1.3 and cannot downgrade because your SHSH blobs aren't saved. Don't worry, people who have iBoot 359.3 old bootrom, you can successfully update to iOS4 custom firmware using this trick.

NOTE: DO NOT THINK THAT YOU CAN RESTORE TO iOS4 CUSTOM FIRMWARE JUST BY JAILBREAKING WITH SPIRIT, IT JUST WON'T WORK.

Download these files:

Spirit2Pwn_R2.zip: http://code.google.com/p/iphone-img3-flasher/downloads/list
NOTE: FOR SPIRIT2PWN_R2.ZIP, IT HAS TWO FILES, YOU HAVE TO DRAG IT IN. IF THE SITE UPDATES THIS FILE, FOR EXAMPLE SPIRIT2PWN_R3.ZIP OR SOMETHING, YOU HAVE TO RENAME THE INSIDE FILE FROM PWN_OLD_BOOT_R3.SH TO PWN_OLD_BOOT_R2.SH TO RETAIN THE COMMAND TO FULLY FUNCTION PROPERLY.

iOS Firmware: http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
NOTE: DOWNLOAD THE 3.1.3 iPHONE 3GS FIRMWARE AND THEN DOWNLOAD THE iOS4 FIRMWARE. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BOTH OF THEM AND BOTH OF THE THEM START WITH "iPhone2,1".

iPhone Explorer: http://www.macroplant.com/iphoneexplorer/
NOTE: ONLY DRAG ONE FILE AT A TIME, PREVENTS CRASHES AND IT ONLY COPIES ONE FILE AT A TIME ANYWAYS, SO IT'S BETTER OFF DRAGGING IT ONE BY ONE JUST TO BE SURE WHICH FILE YOU NEED TO DRAG IN NEXT.

  • Im currently using a iphone 3gs, new bootrom (5.12.01), been jailbroken with spirit ( 3.1.3).. so.. if i upgrade to os4.0.. am I able to jailbreak it? -.-

  • @t3ng92 i suggest you hold off the update, assuming that you haven't saved your SHSH blobs, you cannot update to iOS4.0 specifically, as Apple does not sign anymore 4.0 firmwares, only 4.1, which is not jailbreakable, so just keep your Spirit jailbreak.
