Jailbreaking 3GS Phones in 6 Steps
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. If you want to do a complete unlock of your mobile device it is necessary for you to jailbreak it and to do this you will need the genuine Apple IPSW. Attach the phone to it’s plug and after that click the restore button. You will need to select that you agree to do a back-up of the Apple phone and then you will need to download the app to restore it. As soon as the device displays the download pop-up message come up on the left portion of the phone’s LCD screen, disconnect the phone. You do not in reality want to restore it; you just need to get the IPSW file.
2. So you’ve downloaded the file – now open redsn0w and click on “browse”. In the case that you are downloading thru Apple iTunes, select the iPhone2, 1_3.0 7A1 file – it will be in the library under the folder for iPhone Software Updates; in sub-account that says user.
3. Hit Ok. Then pick the button that says “next”, you ought to get to where the kernel is in order to start compiling the customized firmware that is used to crack the mobile device. After completion of the loading procedure you’ll be queried as to which options you want to load. Click the check box on the Icy and Cydia boxes and click “next” to permit redsn0w to finish putting together the firmware.
4. After the firmware is compiled, redsn0w will then instantly put your mobile unit in what is known as DFU mode. 3GS phones carry disparate functions when it comes to DFU mode. Especially in comparison to older phones. When it tells you to disconnect, you should do so, and shut down and plug in the device. Hold the button that says “home” until the iTunes logo comes back up. Then the cracking will begin.
5. When the jailbreak procedure comes to an end, hook up to Wi-Fi and then load the Icy app. You could find it necessary to wait on the tap sources. When the verifying sources finishes, then push the button that says “edit” at the upper left part of the screen and after that click the plus key at the lower left part of the screen. Follow this by clicking the button labelled “add” to type in: http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com inside of the source section. Click the more sizeable add key so as to finish this part. Press the refresh button on right in order to run verification on the source.
6. Whilst you have the Icy app open, you should scroll toward the bottom of the screen and select the key that says “Utilities”. Be certain that you hit “Utilities”, not “Utility”. At the bottom of the utilities screen “ultrasn0w” should be seen”. Push that and then Push “Install”. When the install is finished, your jailbreak 3GS is complete – simply restart the device and you are completely done!
