Jailbreaking 3GS Phones in 6 Steps

By Andrea Mihelsic


Many people think that you can't jailbreak 3GS phones. How wrong they are! In this article, I'll be laying out for you a complete instructional guide on how to jailbreak these types of phones. Once you download the jailbreak software, this will only take you about 20 minutes or so.

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. 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. When you pick "ok" and then select the button that is labelled "continue", go to the kernel and start compiling the specialized firmware that is intended for use in unlocking the mobile phone. Once you've completed this step it will ask to pick the options taht you like. Click the Icy and Cydia options and hit "next" to permit redsn0w to complete the process of putting together the firmware.

4. When the firmware is assembled, redsn0w will then at once put your phone into the DFU mode. You should know that 3GS iPhones carry very different processes with regard to DFU mode versus less recently manufactured iPhones. Carefully follow the process to unplug, power down and plug in the device. Hold the home button until the iTunes logo shows up. The application is then able to begin the process of unlocking.

5. Next up, you'll need to load "Icy". You might have to wait for the sources to compile. After it does so, then you should tap the edit key at the upper left corner . After this, click the button labelled "add" to type in: http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com inside of the source location. Pick the more sizeable add key to wrap up the source add-on.

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!
