plz help
Try redsnOw 0.7.1
You will need to downgrade your firmware to get rid of the Pink Screen. I have had that same Pink Screen…I downloaded the firmware and then updated again and it works fine.
hi i have an i phone 3g it was unlocked and jailbroken but i am now restoring the phone can u tell hw to unlock and jailbreak again or will the restore affect the unlocking
If you restore the iPhone then it’ll get unlocked again. But you can use ultrasnOw to unlock your iPhone 3G. So, go ahead.
hi i have3 restored my iphone but i dont know what software its on and i have downloade redsnow 0.8 and i have downloaded the zip file of 3.0 software when i hold shift in i tunes it doesnt show zip folder and when i click on browse in reddsnow the zip file is also not there and right now my phone is waiting for an o 2 sim card so i can setup my iphone but i dont have one can u please tell me how i can unlock and jailbreak it using rednsnow without a sim thanks
Well, you can’t unlock your iPhone without a SIM card.
However, you can use Turbo SIM card to use iPhone with all features, but I won’t recommend you to do so.
then will i be able to jailbreak and can u tell me i have a vodacom sim card could i use this to unlock and jailbraeak and can i activate my iphone using this
I never used vodacom sim card on iPhone, but you can try your luck to jailbreak and unlock your phone.
is good
so if you need a sim card to jailbreak can i use my tmobile sim to do it? or do i need an att sim card to jailbreak then unlock and then i can use my att sim?
sorry that last att should be tmobile
You can use any sim card to unlock your iPhone.
so if i have a new 3Gs i can put in my tmobile sim and plug it into my computer and i will be able to update it with itunes. then i can run redsnow to jailbreak and get cydia and install unltrasn0w all with a tmobile simcard in the whole time? it doesnt make sense to be able to use a tmobile sim card before it has been unlocked.
Of course, there is no use of your sim card before unlocking the device. And whatever you said above is right, follow the same procedure.
hey dude i have 3g iphone n i want ipsw latest version file for redsnow so plzzzz help me……
The latest version of iPhone 3G can be found here.
hi I like your tutorial you are great man but there is a problem after i everything is done my iphone does NOT restart. I have checked everything its connected to my computer and it was turned off but still it does go on redsnow is saying waiting for you iphone to restart but its not restarting plz help me my iphone is not unlock now
Jailbroken , unlocked 3G Iphone worked great till I downloaded some free apps yesterday then connected it to Itunes which asked me to update phone- not knowing i needed to customize first for firmware to do this, i went ahead and error message 1611 & 2006 came up 3x with “Itunes connect” symbol on screen. So I tried again not knowing to customize the phone before allowing the update, then the phone screen went to a “slide for emergency calls only” button and changed languages. Now it will only show this slide button notice with “Itunes connect” symbol behind it and I don’t know what to do to restore it. Please help!
Many Thanks!
Simply restore your iPhone and it’ll work fine.
it wont let me do that… when I plug it into my computer now nothing comes up on itunes screen or iphone screen… how do i restore when no option for that comes up?
Thanks!
Oh, that’s weird! Download iTunes 9 and try it once again. You can check this video to restore your iPhone.
So I followed the video you sent to watch and the phone appeared tp restore yet as it was finishing up tunes cam up with a “does not support this SIM card message”… which is one of the reasons I needed an unlocked phone.
It was after downloading itunes 9 that my iphone problems began… i plugged it into my computer, the update popped up, I didn’t think twice about it, clicked ok and it was then my iphone probs began… what do I do now? … Thanks so much!
If you’ve updated a previously unlocked iPhone with new official 3.1 firmware then it is possible that your iPhone is permanently locked. I would suggest you to downgrade it to iPhone 3.0 OS and check whether it is getting unlocked on 3.0 firmware or not.
At last! Someone asking and answering my question – but how do I downgrade to 3.0 if the iPhone only shows up on my computer as a storage device?
If iTunes is detecting iPhone on your computer then you can downgrade it to 3.0 firmware. As far as I know there is no alternative method to downgrade your phone.

I don’t know why this is happening. Go to your friend’s place and try to jailbreak & unlock iPhone on his/her computer.
i have an iphone 3g and when i try and restore it with the 3.0 firmware thru itunes it does not work. what should i do
Try to do it on iTunes 8.
I unlocked my 2g 3.0 with redsnow. When I put in my tmobile sim, it says “no service”. Any ideas? I’m very new to all of this. Thanks!
i purchase and iphone 8gb 3g throught one provider and am using a sim car from another provider its not letting me do anything with it i cant text or call nothing its telling me i have an invalid sim what programm should i use to get my phoen to be compatible with my other sim car
i have the firmware of 3.1.3
Why did you update to 3.1.3 firmware? iPhone dev team has already suggested that jailbreakers and unlockers should stay away from this update. Now, your phone may not work at all, but still I’ll write a guide for the latest firmware, which you can try on iPhone.
ok i unlocked jailbroke my iphone but the redsnow 0.7.2 does not unlock the phone with 3.1.3 formware..i need some help on unlocking it
thanks for posting
I also have 3.1.3, would be great if i could get a solution how to jailbreak or even dowgrade
ahmed,
go here:

download that firmware…save to desktop.
put your phone in DFU mode. if you don’t know how to do that, search for a how-to guide.
connect via USB to itunes. when you’re in, a message will pop up that says: ‘itunes has discovered an iphone in recovery mode.’
you’ll see an option to restore. before you click restore, hold down the shift button. it will browse for a firmware to open, and that firmware will be on the desktop. enjoy.
**hold down the shift button on your keyboard and then click restore**
then select the firmware.
