A friend of mine recently asked me if it were truly impossible to jailbreak 3GS phones. Absolutely not, I said! So, for him and for you, I've laid out this guide to jailbreaking your iPhone. This entire process should take only about 30 minutes.
1. Before you unlock the Apple phone you will need to jailbreak it and to do this you will need the Apple IPSW - not some fake version. Plug in the iPhone and then hit "restore". It will ask if you agree to do a back-up of the phone and then the app will begin to download. When the download pops up on the right quadrant of the screen, unplug the phone from the wall and the PC. You don't in reality need to let the restore complete; you simply need to get the IPSW file.
2. When the download ends, pop open redsn0w. Click on the button that says "open". If you are downloading via iTunes, you have to choose the iPhone2, 1_3.0 7A1 file - It's in the phones' library where it states the name as iPhone Program Updates; (it might be under the sub-account that says user).
3. After clicking "ok" and then picking key that is labelled "next", you should get to the location of the kernel where you will start assembling the hacked firmware utilized to jailbreak the iPhone. After you finish the loading process you will be asked which options you want to load. Check the Icy and Cydia boxes and choose "go ahead" to permit redsn0w to move into he firmware assembly phase.
4. After the app is loaded, redsn0w will put your mobile unit into DFU mode. Be cognizant that 3GS phones are not all the same when it comes to DFU mode vis a vis older models of phones. Carefully follow the instructions - disconnect, power off and plug in the unit when it tells you to. Depress the home button until the logo reappears. The app will then begin the jailbreak.
5. Once the unlock process ends, hook up to your Wireless network and pop open "Icy". It will verify, and then you should do an edit at the top right section of the screen and next hit the plus button at the top left corner. Click the Add button to type in: http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com where it says source. Click the bigger add button. Hit refresh to complete verification.
6. During the time that you are in the section for the Icy app, you should scroll downwards and choose the key that says "Utilities". Be certain that you pick "Utilities", not "Utility". At the end of this utilities screen "ultrasn0w" should be located. Push that and then Hit "Install". After the completion of the install, your jailbreak 3GS is done - simpley reboot the device and you are all done!
