The dev-team’s jailbreak for 3GS is released. You can view the guides and download the binaries from here.
This jailbreak supports 2g, 3g, 3gs, and iPod touch 2 on 3.0. Key features:
1) Stable jailbreak tested by dev-team
2) Icy + Cydia problem solved (we think).
3) Ultrasn0w tested and working on 3gs
4) Proper kernel patches which will enable logome (after it’s updated for 3.0).
5) Mobile Substrate + Winterboard now working on 3gs.
Again, for download links and redsn0w installation guide, go here.
Note: If you used purplera1n RC2 or newer, you do not need to redo your jailbreak. You will be unable to use logome in the future, but that should be the only downside. If you used purplera1n RC1 or older, you should redo your jailbreak. I believe you can run redsn0w right over the top of it.

Hey I have a question… If you have a bunch of apps already installed on your iPhone, then you decide to jailbreak your iPhone, will all the apps already installed on your iPhone disappear or what?
[Reply]
July 7th, 2009 at 5:33 am
Nice! This worked without a hitch. This was only my 2nd jailbreak attempt (in 2 days) of my first iPhone (3GS), and both were easy thanks to your guides. Plus with this one, Winterboard doesn’t crash the device!!!
P.S. Am I the only one who was excited to see the pages of unix code streaming by? I think I’m a geek. ;)

I hope this time RedSnow works properly. RedSnow 0.7.2 Cydia mostly crashes down and I believe Icy is the mean reason.
Before, when Icy was installed, Cydia crashes down most of the time and when I restored and rejailbreak again without installing the Icy, Cydia becomes stable and crashing down was minimized on my iPhone 3G…

No need to re-jailbreak! Once its done its done! The only thing thats really different is that mobile substrate was updated at the same time which fixes many issues. This update can be downloaded via Cydia and you dont need to jailbreak again!

I’m a legit AT&T customer as well as MobileMe. After jailbreaking my 3GS with purplera1n (RC2 Windows), push no longer worked with MobileMe.
I was able to fix it by going to Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Settings and then deleting and recreating my mobileme account on the phone. Perhaps one of those steps wasn’t necessary, but it wasn’t alot of effort and it worked.

Josh, I was having the same problem until I realized I was using the firmware for the 3G not the 3GS. This didn’t seem to be an issue with the makeitra1n jailbreak, as it worked for me, but I realized I was using the wrong one, switched, and it worked like a charm. Maybe it will work for you as the firmware names only differ by switched digits.

Qtweeter doesn’t work with jailbroken 3GS, for me the springboard goes into safe each mode. I’m guessing this is an application issue and will be fixed by the developer. It would be great to start a compatibility list.
So far for me ClearCam and qtweeter don’t work. Some other folks have reported voipover3g doesn’t work either.

J.R,
3.0 list on 3g vs. 3gs is definitely different. Qtweeter for example works fine on jailbroken 3G but not on 3Gs. The difference in the processor/hardware requires some of these aps to be ported.

If u haven’t used purplera1n RC2 than u should rejailbreak w/ Redsn0w or Purplera1n RC2 or later. This is because the 1st version doesn’t have some kernal patches required for Winterboard & Logome to work. So I would recommend rejailbreaking using Redsn0w.

If everything is working fine there’s no need to upgrade. I have a 3G as well and I’m not going to re-jailbreak. Guessing 0.8 mainly addresses the jailbreak for 3Gs.

You could in theory sign up for At&T and then quit right away. You will have to pay for $199 for the phone and then the $150 cancelation fee, so it will cost you around $350. If you buy one off of ebay then it will cost you around $600..

[Reply]
July 8th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
Just wanted to pass on a tip that hopefully will help someone else. I was downloading the ipsw package on my Macbook last night and for a while I couldn’t work out why I ended up with a new folder containing lots of files but nothing with the .ipsw extension. Then I realised that my comuter was downloading the package with a .zip extension and then automatically unzipping it when the download finished.
My fix was to go into Preferences in Safari and uncheck the option to automatically open files once downloaded. Then when I downloaded the package again, I was able to rename it, deleting the .zip extension. After that, it worked fine and I was able to follow Big Boss’ steps to jailbreak my 3GS.
I was surprised that I didn’t have to put the phone in DFU mode though? I was just prompted to put it into recovery mode and then everything worked perfectly after that.
Cheers Big Boss (and iPhone Dev team) - good job, as always.

I recently used redsnow0.8 to jailbreak my iPhone 3G OS 3. Installed Cydia in the process (skipped ICY as I read it causes problems). At first Cydia was working well. I was able to download jailbroken applications and update existing ones. A few hours later,however, Cydia ceases to LOAD. Pressing the Cydia Icon will show a blank screen, then closes and returns back to the iPhone screen. Anyone knows how to make Cydia LOAD(Launch) again ?

I having iPhone 3G 16g. I m having the same problem with the battery drainning issue. I have done my restore & jb more than 6 times. 4 times with redsnow 0.71 and 2 times with redsnow 0.8. The battery was working fine for first 1 or 2 days and then it start going crazy with the fast draining or it show fully charge at 40% & the battery start draining even with the power plug in. Can some one help? Is my battery need to replace or cause by the softweres?

I’m using a 3gs and I had done a purplera1n jailbreak. My battery life was horrible! So I restored my iPhone. Is the battery life normal with redsn0w?

Does the 3.0 firmware jailbreak version plus the Redsn0w can cause a charging problem. I am having that problem. I don’t know if it is only the battery itself that might be the culprit. Can Dev Team compare the latest 3.0 version versus their Jailbreak version if the charging program might have changed? Please inquire and let me know.
Thanks….

Having battery drain issues as well on my 3gs 3.1. I jailbroke with redsn0w 8.0 and restored settings from iTunes right after. Battery last half day and I am not using anything hardly to save power. Old iPhone 2g JB had better battery after 2 years of use. Any ideas? Thought that I read that you can’t restore settings with Itunes like contacts and such.

Hello,
I have an 3GS on OS 3.0.1 (I have never updated this on itunes, it came like this)however it is an MC one so I do not intend to upgrade the firmware at the moment. I have downloaded redsn0w, extracted this and downloaded the firmware 3.0.0 file: iPhone2,1_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw.
For some reason redsn0w will keeps saying unable to recognise ipsw file.
Any suggestions??
Cheers Lex
