Member: 1174508 Status: Offline Sonork: 100.1593820 Thanks Meter: 11,979 | How to Jailbreak Your iPhone 3GS Using RedSn0w (Windows) [4.3.1] These are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone 3GS on the 4.3.1 firmware using RedSn0w for Windows. The Mac version of this tutorial is here. Make sure not to update to iOS 4.3.1 if you need an unlock as one is not yet available unless you opt to use the iPad baseband. IMPORTANT FOR UNLOCKERS During this process you can update your baseband to the 06.15 version. If you are on 05.14 or 05.15 or higher you will need to do this to unlock. You do not need to do this for jailbreak only. Please read the following very carefully before deciding whether to do this. You can find out baseband version here. 1. There is no way to come back down from 06.15, and there’s no hiding the baseband version from Apple. You’ll be voiding your warranty in a very obvious way. 2. If some future baseband comes out with a critical fix, you won’t be able to update to it if it remains down in the 05.xx sequence (then again, you wouldn’t update to it if you wanted to keep your unlock anyway). 3. Starting with FW 4.2.1 if you have 06.15 on your iPhone you won’t ever be able to restore to stock firmware (it will fail). You’ll need to only restore to custom IPSWs (then again, if you’re unlocker you should already be doing that). 4. There are reports that 06.15 may disable your GPS. The iPhone Dev-Team is currently working on a fix. Don’t update to 06.15 if you don’t need to! Only do this if you need the unlock and you’re stuck on 05.14 or 05.15, and you're willing to assume the above risks. If your baseband is already unlockable and you are on a lower firmware version then use PwnageTool to update to 4.3.1 without upgrading your baseband. |

Select your iPhone from the list of devices on the left. Now hold down Shift and click the Restore button. Restore is preferred as it won't create any wasted space on your iPhone. Navigate to the Pwnage folder on your desktop and select the 4.3.1 firmware ipsw. Click the Choose button to continue. |

Member: 1174508 Status: Offline Sonork: 100.1593820 Thanks Meter: 11,979 | Step Seven to Step Ten Step Seven RedSn0w will now prepare the jailbreak data Step Eight From this window you can select the jailbreak options you would like. Verbose boot displays detailed information on boot of your device and is generally only needed by developers and advanced users. Make sure Cydia is selected. For this tutorial we will also select Custom boot logo and Custom recovery logo. When you click to select each custom logo option a dialog window will appear asking you to select the image. Locate the image you would like to use then press the Open button. *Remember the rules for boot logos are: RGB or Grayscale format with Alpha channel and dimension below 320x480. If you would like to use the iClarified ones they can be found here: Boot Logo, Recovery Logo If you read the warning above and you would like to update your baseband to the 06.15 iPad version for unlock then check Install iPad Baseband. Click Yes when prompted to confirm your decision. Click the Next button to continue Step Nine Please plug your iPhone into the computer and make sure its OFF then click the Next button Step Ten RedSn0w will now guide you through the steps to get into DFU mode. You can find more help with DFU mode here Hold down both the Home button and the Power button for 10 seconds. Release the Power button and continue holding the Home button until RedSn0w detects the device. |

Member: 1174508 Status: Offline Sonork: 100.1593820 Thanks Meter: 11,979 | Step Eleven + Step Thir**** Step Eleven Your iPhone will now reboot Step Twelve RedSn0w will then begin uploading the new RAM Disk and Kernel. Step Thir**** Once this is complete you will be notified that RedSn0w is done. Click the Finish button. When your iPhone finishes rebooting (5 minutes or so) it will be jailbroken with Cydia on the SpringBoard. *As usual a big thanks to the iPhone Dev-Team and I0n1c for their hard work and contribution to the iPhone community. **Windows 7 users can try running RedSn0w as an administrator in Windows Vista or XP compatibility mode if you experience any difficulties. |
