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. Prior to breaking your mobile device you have to jailbreak it and this calls for the genuine Apple IPSW. Hook the device up to your computer and follow that up by clicking the restore button. Indicate that you consent to do a back-up of the iPhone and then download the software that will start the restore process. When you see the download pop-up message come up on the right side of the screen, unhook the phone. You don't actually desire to let the restore finish; you really just need to get your paws on 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. 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. 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. 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!
