I’ve looked everywhere but still can’t figure it out.
If my 2g iphone is already unlocked, will it become locked once I update to 3.0? Or will it still be unlocked? I know it won’t be jailbroken anymore, but thats not as important to me as having it unlocked.
Thanks!
Hi Scott,
Did you use any unlocking tool before? If yes then it will surely lock your iPhone while updating to iPhone 3.0.

I upgrade with iTunes first?
I’m not so sure because i read on some sites if i upgrade to 3.0 my baseband gets upgraded so if the unlock doesn’t work. I can’t Downgrade to an unlocked earlier version, right? Thanks!
Hi Jeremie,
I don’t have much information about it. But some sites have mentioned that you can’t downgrade to earlier version.
Oh ok, but I start with upgrading with iTunes then jailbreaking with redsnOw, right? Cause i’m not so sure.
By the way, can i try the jailbreak again if ever it doesn’t work.
Thanks so much, again.
Yeah, that’s the correct way to do it.
You can repeat this process as many times as you want.
I’ll go and try it out soon. thanks for the great help.

i updated my iphone 2g w/ redsnow, and i also managed to crash cydia. –> reboot! the reboot has lasted almost 10 hours. any ideas what might be wrong? i decided to give up on the waiting, so i re-did redsn0w and lo, the waiting continues! what to do?
Try redsnOw 0.7.2.
i did! that’s the funny bit. might have to try it again. and again.
That’s surprising! RedsnOw should work perfectly with iPhone. :-S
agreed.
i’m going to think on this for awhile, in the meanwhile, gonna dig up some old clunker of a phone until i figure this out.
Do let me know if you find any solution for this problem.
got it.
had to restore the phone w/ itunes & jailbreak & unlock it.
lost everything that’s on it, but it’s a damn sight better than having to buy a new phone.
Nice buddy. Enjoy your firmware now.
RedSn0w .07.2 did not work for my 2g 16gb iPhone running OS 3.0, I tried RedSn0w0.7.2 couple of times but it froze on “restarting iPhone (with that kind of message) so I tried RedSn0w 0.7.1 and that worked for me. My iPhone is unlocked and Jailbroken. This is my first time jailbreaking iPhone!!

Hi! Sorry, first time jailbreaking and i need help.
I downloaded the iPhone1,2_3.0_7A341_Restore and also the redsnow .7.1. Did the restore holding shift, then backed up my phone after it was updated to OS 3.0. But when i launched Redsnow, it is not working right.
After my phone was back to normal from updating, i clicked on redsnow .7.1. clicked browse and chose the file iPhone1,2_3.0_7A341_Restore. Then clicked next to followed instructions to turn off phone, then hold the power key then with home key for 10 secs, let go power and hold home key for another 10 secs, dfu ok. device detected, went thru automatically thru reboot and all that except when it say uploading RamDisk, it loads four boxes in the progress bar and freezes there. Waited bout an hour and no change. Cancel and redid again but same except this time 2 boxes in progress bar. Third time 4 boxes again.
Then i tried using redsnow .7.2 you had on this site, but same thing. Please help! What am i doing wrong. I have the Iphone 3g and it was previously unlocked before but i reboot my phone yesterday to original factory and lost everything. i dont know what type of jailbreak it was then. Im using Att so i dont need to unlock, just Jailbreak.
Please help Thanks.
Hello, I have a problem. Please Help. I posted something earlier but i dont see it so ima repost a quick one. Basically, i have iphone 3g.

Launch redsnow, following instructions choosing that iphone file i just named. Go thru all the steps to put on dfu mode or whatever. It takes to next screen to jailbreak. goes thru rebooting and something about third stage. and finally, it says uploading ramdisk. but after about four boxes in the progress bar it freezes for about over an hour. i cancelled and redid it but samething except with 2 boxes in progress bar when uploading ramdisk. try it bout 5 more times doing the same thing so i decided to use the redsnow 0.7.2 you have on this site and same thing happens. Any suggestions where i went wrong or what i need to do. Please help. Thanks

after i have done all the stuff it tells me to do. my phone says downloading jailbreak data but the computer says it is finished what did i do wrong???
I am at the same stage as Jack.. I wonder how to fix this.
RedsnOw is working fine with others. You guys must have done it something wrong. Please try it again.
same here, did it all about 5 times, and redsnow says it’s finished, but on my phone it says, Downloading Jailbraek data…

I tried to download the 3.0 firmware and I can’t extract it from the zip file. When I do, the ipsw doesn’t show up. Do you know what could be doing this?
Download it from here.

Hi Harshad, I redid the procedure and was able to get it up and running.. However, the phone is painstalkingly slow. Screen refresh’s are slow, there is a lag while typing. Any advice? thanks in advance.
I think it’s related to memory. Some of your apps might be consuming lots of memory. Uninstall some old apps or try to update them.
Do take backup of your iPhone before uninstalling useful apps. Let me know the result.
Hi harshad, I have about half the phone memory free. It’s working as if it’s in slow motion. Thanks Anurag

Hey Harshad,
When i down the whole process. It stays on the screen where it says downloading jailbreak data and the circle on the bottom just keeps spinning and spinning. It has been doing it for the past 25 minutes. I’m about to go to bed and let it run to see if it works when i wake up. If it doesnt then I will let you know and maybe you have an idea/solution to this problem. I downloaded the 3.0 firmware from the website you listed above. Thanks!

Hi Harshad
I cannot find a corresponding IPSW for the firmware. Everytime i browse i just keep opening the RedSnow folder until theres nothing left to open. i also downloaded the Bit Torrent File which i have no clue about or what to do with.
Plz help
I have found the IPSW file to much delight
where did u find the file. I am having the same problem
i have an iphone original and i unlocked it with quickpwn its on 2.2 right now and i really need to update. The problem is that the computer im using isnt mine and i wont have acess to that computer for a while so if i sync it will erase all my contacts and music correct? Will using RedSnow wipe all of my contacts like restoring to factory. And since i have a 2g iphone that i unlocked with quickpwn will i wont need ultrasnow correct?
If you try to update on other computer then it will definitely erase all the details. You can’t use ultransnOw on iPhone 2G, use redsnOw to jailbreak & unlock the phone.

did everythings from winpwn to redsnow 0.8 but nothing works only once.. can’t get it to work and I really am frustrated.. been working on it for 2days straight.. 1 out of 16 or 17 tries i guess with redsnow 0.8 alone… as of now i am trying to use 0.7.1..
here’s the thing after the DFU mode then redsnow will upload and jailbreak the iphone. here’s the problem, iphone will start in white screen.. then it should have a some kind of picture of ram in the iphone (seen it ONCE except for the videos on youtube).. but for me after the white screen it is just black (a blank screen) then after i’m back to the locked screen of iphone that you can only make emergency calls..
can somebody tell me the problem?
thanks in advance..
Hi Angelo,
Which iPhone are you using?
The RedsnOw 0.8 works with iPhone 3G S and not with other phones.

Hi Angelo,

The RedsnOw 0.8 works with iPhone 3G S and not with other phones.
well I just tried everything.. redsnow 0.7.1/0.7.2/0.8
using 2G by the way.. Also used qckpwn and winpwn.. but no luck
RedsnOw 0.7.1 or 0.7.2 should have worked for you. Please use proper guide for your iPhone 2G and don’t use RedsnOw 0.8!
If you read my post both 0.7 and 0.7.2 aren’t working..
What do you mean by not working? Can you elaborate it and explain me in detail?
as I can see you didn’t bothered reading my first comment.. anyways.. after the white screen i should see a ram with a down arrow and a message that my iphone is being jailbroken and then a running pineapple should come after that.. but as for my case it only goes white then black.. if i look at the redsnow window all it says is “Done!”
Hey Angelo,
I read all your comments but couldn’t find the exact problem.
Btw, your issue is quite weird. I’ve not seen anyone reporting such problem here before.
If your iPhone is working properly with earlier firmware then downgrade it and please take the backup. Delete all third party applications and after that, try to upgrade with iPhone 3.0 and jailbreak it with above tools.
I hope this will work for you.
i already tried downgrading the firmware but the problem is it won’t.. iTunes always give me the errors 1602 and 1604 when i am trying to downgrade the firmware. (tried in both DFU and recovery mode) well, I guess i’ll need to wait for another FW update.. thanks anyway..
Sad to hear that.
Why don’t you try it on your friend’s PC? See if it works or not.
I think I found the solution, don’t really know but it worked.
i just installed libUSB-win32, restarted my Desktop, and I also removed other USB devices that is connected to my desktop.. and now my iPhone is jailbroken and unclocked..
@tao xing
try this it may work..
ohh and I used redsn0w 0.8 on that..
Woohoo!!! Congratulations dude.
well I just tried everything.. redsnow 0.7.1/0.7.2/0.8

Need help for my iphone 2g 8gb version.
I have updated it to version 3.0 and used redsnow and followed all the steps to jailbreak and unlock.
Right now the problem is, when I insert my sim card it shows the name of my carrier on the top left side of iphone screen and it even receives call if anyone calls me. But the iphone keeps displaying “itunes” screen with usb cord picture.
I even tried to connect my iphone to itunes and opened my itunes account on computer but itunes keep showing it as:
“The SIM card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supporte. Only compatible SIM cards from a supported Carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iphone or visit a supported Carrier’s store to receive a replacement SIM card”.
Why itnues is showing this message when the iphone is able to receive calls using my sim which is not support?
I guess it shows the phone is already jailbreaked and unlock but for some reason I
am not able to pass that Itunes connect screen which I mentioned above.
Any help from you guys? Thanksss
We having same problem.
Same here. Says SIM card invalid bit I can receive calls. ??

I used this on two iphone 2g yesterday & it worked great on one however the other one is unlocked & cydia is appearing on the home screen however when I try to open Cydia, it tries to open then reverts back to home screen. Any idea what I can do so that I can use Cydia?
Thanks
I would suggest you to try the jailbreak again, and if it doesn’t work then use another RedsnOw version.

You’ll have to use iTunes to upgrade your iPhone version. There is no other way to do it.

Hi, I just got finished jailbreaking my iphone 2g with 3.0 firmwareusing the newest redsn0w version. Well everything went fine until the end when redsnow just crashed and said it had stopped working. But on my iphone screen it says downloading jailbreak data. IT’s been this way for 8-9 mins now. should I leave it or re-do it?
Try the same procedure with other redsnOw tool.

I want to upgrade to 3.0 but itunes automatically takes me to 3.1, will this work if I upgrade to 3.1 with itunes then attempt an unlock and jaibreak to 3.0??
I dont want to mess up my phone.
Apple has released new iPhone OS 3.1 and that’s why iTunes gives message to upgrade to 3.1. If you want to unlock and jailbreak 3.0 then download iPhone 3.0 firmware and then upgrade it to iPhone 3.1.

I guess purplera1n is causing this problem. I have not used it on my iPhone, so I really can’t help you in this issue.

After I tried it, it said it was finished, but it was still loading the jailbreak! And I didn’t know what to so I just turned it off, all it displays is the usb and the itunes. What do I do?
Could you please elaborate your issue?
i basically followed all instructions.. after that it showed ‘ downloading jailbreak data’ on my iphone screen, which took around 10 min to disappear, even though the screen on the comp showed it was done.
after that the screen showed the itunes logo with a usb plug.. left it at that for an hour but no progress at all..
using an iphone 2g, on 2.2.1pwned..
fortunately io tried it on my spare iphone.
plz tell me wats wrong so that i don commit the same mistake while unblocking my iphone.
thanks..
FYI.. i tried it multiple times with the same result!
oh.. and 1 more thing… i tried both redsnow 0.7.1 & 0.7.2
Well, many people have faced this problem in the past. There is nothing worry about it. It happens when you try to upgrade firmware 2.2.1 to 3.0.
Just check your firmware (or get it from trusted source). Install iTunes 8.2 and keep all bootloader files in a folder. Download redsnow 0.7.2. Now restore your firmware through iTunes and follow the same jailbreaking procedure again.

Harshad thank you for the info – i have the same issue. Do you meant restore the firmware to 3.0 through iTune 8.2?
Yes, you’ll have to restore your firmware through iTunes.

So I have followed these steps 6 times but haven’t had any luck.
I get the “Downloading Jailbreaker Program” message on my iPhone. It downloads. My iPhone resets itself but then still won’t detect my sim card.
Any suggestions?

I have an iPhone 2g running 3.1.2. I’m trying to jailbreak and install Cydia, but not unlock, as I’m a real AT&T customer. I ran Redsn0w 8, 7.2 but neither could identify the right ipsw, whether I pointed it to the one from iTunes or ones I downloaded elsewhere. I ran Redsn0w 7.0, and that went all the way through the jailbreak process (3 times now), but I don’t see Cydia, nor any difference in the phone. In settings, I know that “restrictions” are already off. What should I do to make this work?

Hi i’m trying to jailbreak my iphone 3g and i get through everything but when it says “waiting to rebot” it stays there for like over an hour? can someone help please
Hey guys,
Could you tell me how to update to the firmware 3.0? i’m having trouble finding it :S
Thanks, hope you can help…
hey there.
i wanted to unlock my iphone (2g fw 3.0) using redsnow 0.7.2.
but i couldnt find the unlock button whenii was asked to choose the options(icy/cydia only choosable ops)
so how do i do it properly. cuz i still ain’t get reception. just can use it like a itouch but thats bull!
cheers!
Which firmware are you using on your iPhone?
tried different 2 different ones:
first was iPhone1,2_3.0_7A341_Restore
this the one were i couldnt choose the unlock option, i can only jailbreack and install cydia/icy works just fine
second beein iPhone1,1_3.0_7A341_Restore
here i can choose the unlock option but redsnow freezes at the 2nd reboot stage everytime i tried. well not the programm itself, put the process just wouldnt continue… you know what i mean?
also tried using redsnow 0.7.1 but that didn’t help either
Please put all your iPhone details here so that I can take a look at your issue more effectively.
well, i’m not sure wat else to put here.
what do you need to now?
it’s an 2g (8gigs) currently running firmware 3.0
it was purchased in britain… so far it was running on o2(not to sure about that, got it of a friends brother, so i could find out… but i don’t think thats too important eh?)
I would recommend you to update your iPhone to latest firmware and then use the redsn0w 0.9.4 to jailbreak and unlock it.
Here’s the guide – http://bit.ly/aRRyt8

alright, i tried fw 3.1.3 but it froze again.
i believe it’s got something to do with the iphone1,1_3 and iphone1,2_3 things cuz the last one always works, but is not able to unlock.
any suggestions?
for now ill try to run it on a different computer, maybe that will help.
