how to jail break your iphone
ALL OF THESE OPTIONS TO JAILBREAK YOUR iDEVICE WILL WORK ON THE IPHONE 3GS 100%.
THE IPOD TOUCH 3G IS A TETHERED JAILBREAK.
The iPhone 3G/3GS and the iPod Touch are very easy devices to modify or jailbreak. The first program i am going to show you how to use is called redsn0w and if you would like a more customizable program go down to where i show you how to use pwnagetool. You canjailbreak them on Windows and Mac OS X. In this guide i will be showing you how to jailbreak any iDevice and a few other things that will come in useful such as how to install crack applications onto the iDevice and how to unlock the iPhone.
The first thing you should know is that you CANNOT brick your iDevice without deleting very, very important system files witch cannot be replaced through a restore. If you do think your iDevice is bricked you can restore it by putting it into DFU mode and restoring from that state. I will explain how to put your iDevice into DFU mode later on in the guide.
WARNING: IF YOU ONLY HAVE A WINDOWS ONLY COMPUTER DO NOT UPDATE TO FIRMWARE 3.1 AT THIS POINT IN TIME. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO JAILBREAK IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO TOOL RELEASED. I WILL UPDATE THIS GUIDE WHEN ONE IS RELEASED.
REDSN0W
NOTE: Your iDevice must be on the firmware you are going to jailbreak, for instance if you want to jailbreak your iDevice on 3.0 your Firmware version must be on 3.0
NOTE 2: Make sure that your iDevice is plugged in via USB.
First things first you need to download a program. Depending on your device you can download two different programs. The first one is the easiest to use and is called "redsn0w". This program is cross platform and has a very simple GUI. You can download it from here:
Now that we have downloaded redsn0w open the program up. Click the browse button and it will open up to your iphone iTunes update folder. Make sure you choose thefirmware that corresponds to yours device. Now that you have your firmware it will verify that it's the correct firmware then you can click the next button. It will now patch the IPSW file so it will be able to jailbreak it.
Next you have the option to install either cydia or icy.
Now make sure you install Cydia, Cydia is a must, it updates your devices jailbreak data and all the programs you download. Icy is a faster alternative that is good to use if you want to download something quicker. Just make sure you install cydia and if you would like to, icy as well.
Now make sure that your iDevice is both turned OFF and and plugged into the computer. Now get ready as soon as you click the next button;
1. Hold down the POWER button for 3 seconds. (you don't have to get it exactly when it starts)
2. Now without releasing the POWER button hold down the HOME button for 10 more seconds.
3. Release the POWER button and keep holding down the HOME button for up to 30 seconds.
Now when i say "up to" i mean it usually takes about 10-20 seconds for the jailbreak to start, Once it goes to the next screen you CAN release the home button and just leave the device be for a few minutes while it is being jailbroken.
Once your iDevice has rebooted it has now been jailbroken. On your iphone you will now notice either 1 or 2 new icons on your springboard
They will be either Cydia or Icy. Open up cydia and and if there are any updates install them. Cydia is an application that allows you to download applications straight to your iDevice provided that you have a WiFi connection or a 3G connection.
BLACKRA1N
Ok so Blackra1n is the easiest and most noob friendly Jailbreaking tool out there. It was developed by NeoHot and is ONLY for firmware 3.1.2. You must be on a freshly restored 3.1.2 firmware and this will work for all the iDevices. But DO NOT use this tool if you rely on the ULTRASN0W unlock by the Dev-Team to use your iPhone, It will update your Baseband and you will lose the unlock possibly for ever. So lets get to the guide. ALSO before you do this a very highly recommend you read this post.
There are some requirements and restrictions before you can use this jailbreak.
First things first you need to download blackra1n. It's a small application and is available for both mac and windows. Don't worry the steps are identical for both mac and windows.
Go to that site and download which ever version you need. Once you have download it restore your iDevice to 3.1.2 and open up blackra1n it will look like this.
Now click that button and your phone will enter a state called recovery mode.
Blackra1n will now jailbreak your iDevice for you and then reboot it automatically.
Once it has finished jailbreaking your iDevice a pop up will show up and ask if you would like to donate $5 - $10 to neohot. You can if you want to or ignore it. Now on you springboard there should be a new icon called blackra1n.
Open the application and now you can chose to install either cydia, icy or rock app. I suggest you install cydia only because it is the best one to use and DO NOT try to install more than one at a time or you will run into problems.
NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE A WIFI CONNECTION TO INSTALL THE APPLICATIONS.
One you have installed an application your iDevice will respring and which ever application(s) you installed will be now present on your springboard.
Once you are done with the blackra1n application you can uninstall it by going into the blackra1n application and selecting "uninstall blackra1n".
Now reboot your iDevice.
Congratulations you now have a jailbroken device ENJOY :p
PWNAGETOOL
Now there is a more customizable program that you can use, It is called Pwnagetool you will also need the 3.1 IPSW, the only downside to pwnagetool is that it is MAC only. It allows you to create your own custom IPSW with custom boot logos and preinstalled applications from cydia and a few other options.
NOTE: Make sure that you plug your iDevice into the computer via USB.
Download Link:
IPSW download links:
To download any IPSW file go to this website:
Select your firmware file and click download.
When you have downloaded Pwnagetool and your iDevices 3.1 firmware open up the pwnagetool and you will get a screen that looks like this
Click OK and don't worry about what it says you will NOT damage your device. Next in the top left hand corner you will see a button that has a picture of Elbert Einstein on it and says Expert mode underneath it. Then choose witch iDevice you have. Either theiPod touch, iPhone 2G or the iPhone 3G(S). Now click the big blue arrows down in the bottom right hand corner.
Now you will get this screen.
It should automatically find you IPSW file on your computer, if i didn't click the Browse for IPSW option and browse to where you saved your IPSW file you downloaded.
Select your IPSW file that Pwnagetool found and then click the blue arrow again.
You should now be at this screen.
Click on the general tab as shown in the picture then click the blue arrow again.
On this screen you have two options, if your phone activates automatically when you connect it to iTunes untick activate phone.
If it does not and you are using a different SIM card you should keep activate iPhone ticked. Now put your root partition 600 MB and click the blue arrow.
On the next screen if your on the iPhone 3G/S you cannot use boot neuter to unlock your iPhone, it will be all greyed out just click the blue arrow. If you do have an iPhone 2G then you can use boot neuter. Just leave the settings as they are and click the blue arrow.
Click the blue arrow again on the next screen you have the option to install either cydia or icy or both. Make sure you install cydia because it is very important, it updates your iDevices jailbroken applications and data automatically when you open cydia up, provided you are connected to the internet some how. Next you will have the custom logos screen. Uncheck the boxes if you want to keep your original logos or if you want to use the default customs ones you can leave the boxes checked. If you would like to use your own personal logos you can browse for them. (Note: They need to be in PNG format and have to be in the dimensions of 320 by 480)
Now click next and you will be back at this screen
Click build as you see in the picture and then the blue arrow.It will now ask you where you want to save the custom IPSW then start building your Custom IPSW this should not take long depending on your computer. Half way through the build it will ask for your password. This is alright just type it in.
Now once it is finished it will ask if your device has ever been Pwned before. Just click NO even if you have it wont hurt your iDevice in any way. Now you will have to put your iDevice into DFU mode. This is very simple to follow on the programs instructions it had timing and everything built in. I will also write how to enter DFU mode below. Once you have put your iDevice into DFU mode iTunes will pop up asking you to restore your iDevice.
To restore it with your custom IPSW you need to hold down the alt/option key on your mac then browse to where you saved you custom IPSW. Click on your custom IPSW then click open, You iDevice will now start restoring with the custom IPSW. Once it has finished restoring your iDevice you will now have new application(s) on the springboard, It's called cydia and is use to download 3rd party applications to your iDevice. Make sure you have a WiFi connection because this does require the internet. Open up cydia and install the updates (if any) then you can browse through cydia and download whatever applications you would like.
Congratulations your iDevice is now Jailbroken.
DFU MODE
1. Turn off your iDevice.
2. Hold down the POWER button for 10 seconds.
3. Now without releasing the POWER button also hold down the HOME button for another 10 seconds.
NOTE: The timing has to be EXACT to get into DFU mode. And once you are in DFU mode the screen should be completely black. If it is not then you didn't time it right and you should unplug your iDevice and turn it off, plug it back in and try again.
As i said at the start of this guide DFU mode is used to recover your device from what you think is a BRICK. You can enter DFU mode no matter what you do to your device and the restore your iDevice.
UNLOCKING THE IPHONE 3G(S)
WARNING: DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR IPHONE STRAIGHT TO 3.1 BEFORE DOING THIS YOU WILL LOOSE THE ABILITY TO USE THIS UNLOCK POSSIBLY FOREVER. MAKE SURE YOU ARE HAVE 3.1 FIRMWARE AND THEN MAKE A CUSTOM IPSW WITH PWNAGETOOL AND USE THAT TO UPGRADE YOUR IPHONE IT WILL PRESERVE THE BASEBAND SO YOU CAN UNLOCK IT.
To unlock the iPhone 3G(S) you need to install something from cydia, This is called Ultrasn0w.
