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. ;)

If I used Purplera1n, should I redo it with Rensn0w? Will it fix the wifi reset problem?

if this is a Dev-Team Jailbreak, how come its not on the Dev-Team Blog site?

My wifi will disconnect every 30 seconds or so. Sometimes I need to use reset network for it to even work again

I believe this was due to ultrasn0w which has now been updated to work better with the 3GS… just do reset network settings once after install.

are the push notifications problems resolved? and the battery problems – or is the battery drainage problem a 3.0 issue?

another question … if I’ve problems with push … can I remake only the jailbreak or do I’ve to restart with restore to 3.0 FW etc. …

The push issue isnt with the jailbreak! Rejailbreaking with redsnow isnt going to fix that!

Seems like the updated mobile substrate didn’t fix voipover3g. Could you fix that one please :)

I normally would think that it would be a little sketchy if it were on another site but the fact that it was posted by BigBoss makes me believe its legit.

this all works great………Thanks Guys……

i dont know if anyone else has had this problem; but after a call ends my screen will stay blank… do you think it could be a problem with the first redsnow that was released or hardware?

Can I buy a Iphone wit A&T and unlock it with this?

and can i use it in germany without A%T?

sorry for my bad english^^

Hey BigBoss quick Question.
Since ive had a 3GS For a little while now and have synced all my music and contacts and all using itunes. Can i just run redsnow without doing a restore so i dont have to resync all my music and stuff. And also my phone is a virgin running the stock never been jaibroken 3.0.
Ive always done it this way at least and never had a problem but i guess this question is kinda for my own comfort. Sorry to sound like a noob.

I have upgraded the mobileSubstrate from Cydia but my 3GS w/ Purplara1n jailbreak still does not work with Tricker3G / VOip3g and a combination of apps like the Slingplayer. Will using redSn0w fix this issue?

I was thinking the same thing, but if you hit up the “official” torrents on the dev-team blog, you will see the new redsnow torrents that were just uploaded today. Seems pretty good. They are probably writing their blog post as we speak.

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.

I keep getting operation time out dl a theme in cydia over wifi will this jailbreak fix this or is this a 3.0 bug

I have a jailbroken 3G, done with 0.72. Any reason to re-jailbreak with 0.8? If I did, would I have to do a full restore first, or could I re-jailbreak overtop the existing phone? Thanks and keep up the great work!

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.

having same problem as josh, 3G with right firmware, is not rebooting itself…
(PowerBook G4)

it will not, tried it myself

BigBoss has already started a 3.0 compatability list on this site. Though it’s not very complete or reliable as it lists iRealQuickSMS as working and for me it is not!

yes i have voip3g installed. will remove it then. Thanks!!!

btw, what shall we do with the ECID,iBEC & iBSS we recently got and stored somewhere safe???

Keep them safe and handy. They be will invaluable when the 3.1 and subsequent upgrades are released.

So am I correct when assuming that I would use redsn0w to jailbreak my boyfriends iphone 3g??? I need an answer to this before I do it. His phone was jailbroken but had to be reset due to some issue and then he upgraded the firmware to 3.0. So….
redsn0w for jailbreaking the iphone 3g with firmware 3.0??
Thank you for any help anyone can give me.

Yes. There are guides all over this site that answer your question :)

i searched i do not see anything about sms!

and thats redsn0w 0.7.2?

Hi, I tried to jailbreak my 3GS with redsn0w-win v0.8 at least two times already. However, I couldn’t not get iTunes to install cracked applications. What have I done wrong? Please help!!!

How come when I download ipsw it’s separate files that redsnow does not recognize?

Are you replying to my question?

Once a phone has been jailbroken there is no need to do it again because it doesnt add any functionality. Once its done its done.

When 3.1 comes out I am sure there will be loads of walkthroughs on what needs to be done. Just dont upgrade to 3.1 before following what the new jailbreak will require.

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.

I used purplera1n to jailbreak my 3GS which seemed to MOSTLY work. I’m able to install cracked apps and things from Cydia, however SCP/SFTP doesn’t work although SSH works, except I get the following errors when I SSH into my phone:

dyld: code signature failed for /usr/lib/libreadline.6.0.dylib with errno=1
dyld: code signature failed for /usr/lib/libhistory.6.0.dylib with errno=1
dyld: code signature failed for /usr/lib/libncurses.5.dylib with errno=1

I’ve tried to uninstall/reinstall SSH but no luck.. Anyone see these errors? Think rebreaking with redsn0w would help?

You need to install hackulo. But i guess this is enthical. Better not.

I used purplera1n as well and vibrate feature is working just fine, so most likely an issue at your end.

I believe you can install cracked apps with itunes if you use the mobileinstallation patch which has a different name for the 3gs called installd patch

I just installed openSSH and logged through SSH, no issues and I didn’t see the errors you mentioned. I used Purplera1n to jailbreak my 3gs. FYI.

uninstall some of the new apps you installed. some of them don’t work properly so they give you that error.

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..

hi, thank big boss and everione.
i have a problem after redsn0w and ultrasn0w on my 3gs iphone.
i bought it in UK locked with an O2 sim.
after JB and unlock i inserted my italian SIM (TIM carrier) and it was recognized and accepted. i even made a phone call but after few min the level strenght of the carrier signal went down and i can’t use the iPhone to make phone calls.
if i restart the iphone it works again for few min the the signal disappear again…
anyone has the same? anyone can help? thanks in advance. ciao

I Have A Problem With The GPS On My 3GS Jailbroken Iphone.. The Location Services Doesn’t Work Anymore.. Is There A Fix For It?

seems like its a common 3.0 bug

when you download the ipw where you put it you have to take it there and click it open than that it

when you brown to that point do you see that ipsw file there if you click on it it open that it you not gong to see nothing there now look at the redsnow see if it veryfies the firm than followthe net step

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.

My new 3GS will not get a network connection with my old sim after jailbreak. Sim works fin in oln iphone. Please help.

I just bought a 32g 3gs… Backed up my original 3g on iTunes and my cydia stuff via aptbackup. Restored new 3gs from backup… Downloaded 3gs firmware and redsnow 8 and jaibroke the 3gs. Everything worked like a charm. This 3gs with the jailbreak is awesome. Thanks to the dev-team, bigboss, and everyone else involved!!

I am posting here because no one has answered in the purplera1n postings. I have been searching everywhere for an answer. After jailbreaking my 3GS (new) with purplera1n RC2, I get 1% battery drain every 3 minutes. Push, blue tooth are off. Activated with AT&T,did jailbreak later. Updated Mobile substrate. Bigboss said not to use redsn0w if you used purplera1n RC2. Suggestions please I need help.

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?

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….

Okay I jailbroke (p-rain) and soon after I restored it so can I install 3.1 in any way dfu shift restore anything thanks

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?

mklpickle, I had same problem that my phone is hanging up. However, it’s like hanging forever. I’m not able to reboot, turn off the phone. I opened iTune and it can not recognise that the phone is connected (which means I’m not able to recover it either). How did you get out the hanging screen?

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
