Blacksn0w Unlocked iOS 4 on iPhone 3GS [Video]

View Comments

The guy who previously unlocked iOS 4.0 Beta 4 (formerly iPhone OS 4), PwnageTool bundles for iPhone 3GS on iOS 4 and Blacksn0w RC2 patch for iPhone 3.1.3 is now back with a new patch, which makes Blacksn0w unlock compatible with iOS 4.0, provided that you have preserved your baseband to 05.11.07 using PwnageTool.
Description of the file blacksn0w4GM.tgz, as mentioned by msft.guy is as follows.

Patched for 3GS GM; manual load; run /bin/blacksnow.sh after booting. Blacksn0w unlock (C) geohot http://blackra1n.com

iPhone 3GS, on iOS 4.0, Unlocked !

Warning Note: I haven’t tested it yet. But according to my sources, this is working on a 3GS with 05.11.07 baseband. Also the Blacksn0w binaries which are used to unlock are buggy at best. You will need to reapply the patch every time you reboot your phone. Proceed only if you are an advanced user, and know your iPhone inside out. Otherwise, wait for the official unlock and jailbreak tools which will be out in about two weeks time. We are not responsible if you end up bricking or locking your phone.
Step 1: Use the instructions posted here to first jailbreak your iPhone 3GS using PwnageTool bundles on the latest GM release of iOS 4.0. Using this method, you will be able to preserve your older 05.11.07 baseband.
Step 2: Download the latest patched version of Blacksn0w for iOS 4.0 GM from here.
Step 3: Now simply follow the instructions as seen in the video below (note: video was originally meant for Beta 4, but applies to this GM release too.) to unlock iPhone 3GS, on iOS 4.0.

Full detailed instructions will follow soon. Stay tuned for that !

How to Downgrade Firmware 4.0 to 3.1.3 Update

View Comments

Update : New method added
2nd Method

Surely some iOs4.0 holder will miss the MobileSubstrate! For those wishing to return to version 3.1.3 or earlier, I suggest this guide:

Requirements:

iTunes 9.1.1 installed on your computer;
Firmware 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 -> DOWNLOAD ;
RecBoot -> DOWNLOAD WIN - MAC ;

Guide:
1) After you download everything you need to have installed and connected the iPhone and iTunes 9.1.1 Open RecBoot;
2) click on 'Enter Recovery Mode "and your iPhone will be in recovery mode;

3) Now you try and change the "hosts" file by adding the string "74,208,105,171 gs.apple.com "below:

MAC: You should click the Finder icon in the Dock, click "Go to Folder ..." Now look for the file "Hosts" and you insert the string.

WINDOWS: Follow the path "C: \ Windows \ System32 \ drivers \ etc \" open file "Hosts" and change.

4) Open iTunes and you hold down Alt (Mac) / Shift (Windows) and clicking the Restore firmware downloaded.

5) iTunes will return the error "1015". Now reopen RecBoot and click "Exit Recovery Mode" to exit the recovery mode.

Now you have the fw 3.1.3 or 3.1.2 on your device. To jailbreak, you must use Spirit or Blackra1n respectively. Wink

1st Method

Here is a little tutorial to downgrade your Firmware 4.0 to 3.1.3.

Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed
Connect your iPhone to your computer
Set your iPhone in DFU mode (hold Home button for 5s, hold Power for 10s and finally release Power and keep holding Home button until iTunes detects your iPhone)
Select Firmware 3.1.3 and restore your iPhone. Even if you have some issues message, ignore them, it doesn't matter
Start Redsn0w and jailbreak your iPhone

How to Jailbreak iOS 4.0 with PwnageTool – Complete Guide

View Comments

We did inform you about PwnageTool bundles which were released yesterday to jailbreak iPhone 3GS on iOS 4.0 (formerly iPhone OS 4), while preserving your baseband on the older 05.11.07 or 04.26.08 so that you can unlock it using ultrasn0w or blacksn0w. We got lots requests via twitter, facebook and email for full instructions on how to patch the existing version of PwnageTool so that it can work with iOS 4.0 GM release. And so here are the complete set of instructions for you to get it to work.

Warning / Note: Perform the following instructions at your own risk only. I am not responsible if you end up bricking or locking your phone. Only proceed if you are an advanced user, and know what you are doing. Otherwise, wait for the official tools which would be out soon.
Supported Device(s):
iPhone 3GS ONLY, with older bootrom which has at least been jailbroken once with either redsn0w, PwnageTool, Blackra1n or Sn0wbreeze. If your phone is one of those with newer bootrom, and has only been jailbroken with Spirit, this is not for you. You will end up getting 1600/1604 error when restoring the custom cooked firmware via iTunes.
What is working and what isn’t?
I have tested it and it worked for me. But since I don’t rely on an unlock, I couldn’t test the ultrasn0w or blacksn0w part. Of all the reports that I have got from various testers, I can confirm that this method will preserve your baseband, but ultrasn0w or blacksn0w unlock wont work now as they need an update for iOS 4. So if you rely on an unlock, I will suggest you stay away from this, but if you desperately want to jailbreak your device, you can do it now while preserving your baseband but you will only be able to unlock it once ultrasn0w update is released in approx. two weeks time.
Step 1: Download PwnageTool 3.1.5 from the download link given here.
Step 2: Download the latest version of PwnageTool Bundles from msft.guy here and then extract it to your desktop.
Step 3: Download iOS 4.0 for iPhone 3GS, and iTunes 9.2 Beta for Mac. You can get the official bits if you are a registered developer, or from different content sharing sites around the web. Please do not ask for the download links, a simple Google will do it all !
Step 4: Download the updated Cydia bits (data.tar file) from here.
Step 5: Copy PwnageTool that you downloaded in Step 1 to your desktop. Right click, and then click on “Show Package Contents” as shown in the screenshot below.
iOS 4 Jailbreak (1)

Step 6: Navigate to Contents\Resources\FirmwareBundles\ and paste iPhone2,1_4.0_8A293_bundle.bundle file in this location and then simply close this folder.
iOS 4 Jailbreak (2)

Step 7: Now navigate again to Contents/Resources/CustomPackages/CydiaInstaller.bundle/ and paste data.tar file (for Cydia) that you downloaded in Step 4.
Step 8: Start “Terminal” program on your Mac and run the following commands:

cd desktop
cd PwnageTool.app/Contents/Resources/CustomPackages/CydiaInstaller.bundle
tar -xpvf data.tar

once you are done, close all the open windows.
Step 9: Now start this patched version of PwnageTool, Select iPhone 3GS as your device and you will now notice that PwnageTool will automatically detect iOS 4 firmware file as shown in the screenshot below.
iOS 4 Jailbreak (3)

Step 10: create a custom-cooked iOS 4 firmware file which will preserve your old baseband.
Step 11: Once the .ipsw file has been created, you will now have to restore your iPhone to this custom firmware 4.0 that you just cooked using PwnageTool 3.1.5 for your iPhone 3GS. Start iTunes 9.2 Beta, Click on your phone icon from the sidebar in iTunes. Now press and hold left “alt” (option) button on the keyboard and then click on “Restore” (Not “Update” or “Check for Update”) button in the iTunes and then release this button.
This will make iTunes prompt you to select the location for your custom firmware 4.0. Select that custom .ipsw file and click on “Open”.
Step 12: Now sit back and enjoy as iTunes does the rest for you. This will involve a series of automated steps. Be patient at this stage and don’t do anything silly. Just wait while iTunes installs the new firmware 4.0 on your iPhone. Your iPhone screen at this point will be showing a progress bar indicating installation progress. After the installation is done, iPhone will restart automatically and you should now have a fully jailbroken iPhone 3GS running on iOS 4.0.

Redsn0w 0.9.5b5 iOS 4.0 Jailbreak Brings Multitasking, Wallpapers to iPod touch 2G and iPhone 3G

View Comments

Redsn0w jailbreak tool has been updated to version 0.9.5b5 which brings full support for iPod touch 2G, along with optional support to enable multitasking and wallpapers on iOS 4.0 (formerly iPhone OS 4) on iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G which otherwise are disabled by Apple.

Warning Note: This release is strictly meant for official activated iPhones, if you rely on an unlock, stay away from this release.

The redsn0w beta has been updated for 4.0GM, and it now supports the iPod touch 2G too. Multitasking and homescreen wallpaper are now turned on by default (Apple doesn’t normally allow this on these 2 devices).
Because 4.0GM isn’t yet public, you’ll need a Mac and iTunes 9.2 to use it. Since this redsn0w beta is intended only for those with legitimate developer program access, this shouldn’t be a problem.
