How to Jailbreak Your iPhone on OS 3.0 Using RedSn0w (Windows)

Jas — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 07:44:26 +0000

Finally! You can Jailbreak your iPhone on OS 3.0 Using RedSn0w (Windows)!

What is RedSn0w?
redsn0w is an easy to use, multi-platform, multi-device jailbreaking and unlocking (iPhone 2G only) tool for the iPhone 2G (original iPhone), the iPhone 3G (but not the 3GS) and also the iPod touch (first and second generation). Currently it is available for Windows and Mac OS X (there are some issues using redsn0w with OS X PPC, please use an Intel Mac until we have this problem resolved).

REDSN0W PROVIDES SIMILAR FUNCTIONALITY TO QUICKPWN.
1. GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a 3G iPhone with yellowsn0w and rely on yellowsn0w to obtain cellular service, then you should NOT use redsn0w right now. Ultrasn0w (the 3G carrier unlock) is not included with this release and therefore your baseband will be locked and unable to use an operator other than the official one it was bought for. UltraSn0w will be released via APT (cydia and icy) soon. If you have an original iPhone (1st generation) then 3.0 carrier unlock works with this redsn0w release.
2. Yellowsn0w in its current form will NOT work with the baseband version that is present in the 3.0 update, you will need Ultrasn0w, which will be released sometime soon, Ultrasn0w will work with all iPhone 3G models (but not 3GS), even ones that were previously unlockable, Ultrasn0w (when available) will be released via APT (this means you will be able to get it via Cydia or Icy).
3. Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.
4. Read items 1, 2 and 3 again and again.
5. At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the latest version of redsn0w.
6. This app is suitable for the recent 3.0 release
7. redsn0w will NOT work for the iPhone 3GS.
8. redsn0w WILL work for Original iPhone (1st Generation), Original iPod touch, iPod touch 2G and the iPhone 3G (not the iPhone 3GS).

Do you know NOT all Apps are 3.0 Ready?

Jas — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 15:37:33 +0000

While waiting for UltraSnow jailbreak, do you know this?

Keep in mind that NOT all iPhone Apps are 3.0 ready. I would said give it a week or two, for all the apps to make it through the Apps Store review process.

Yes, Facebook is NOT ready with OS 3.0.

Just keep your fingers crossed that they don’t reference any swears in their apps.

Next Generation iPhone/iPod Features

Watson — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 03:55:34 +0000

News from AppleInsider, the next generation iPhone/iPod Touch is going to launch by June or July this year. They may be announce together with the release of iPhone 3.0 Firmware.

There are rumors on the internet said that the next generation of iPhone/iPod Touch will support:

1) WiFi networking on 802.11n. Current version of iPhone is only supported 802.11a on 5GHz and 802.11b/g on 4GHz. 802.11n is with faster speed and more power saving compare to 802.11a/b/g.

2) FM features. This is not only the normal function to receive FM Radio Signal, but it also able to broadcast FM signal, to your car audio system. Just like the MP3 FM Modulator we are using. Currently still not certain that this feature will be a built-in or it will be an additional plug-in module.

3) Higher resolution image senser for the iPhone camera. It may be a 3.2MP or 5MP camera senser that come with the next generation of iPhone 3G.

4) There may have difference range of iPhone models to grep difference ranges of customer. High range model may be an iPhone 3G with 32GB and 5MP camera senser. Low range model may have low resoluion camera, low storage space, may be without WiFi features.

So, for all of those who think iPhone is not good enough, two to three more months to go, you may have your choice on the new gears.

Let’s wait for the new iPhone/iPod Touch.

Thank you for reading.

RebelSim is able to unlock Firmware 3.0 Beta 2

Watson — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 07:47:57 +0000

On 2nd April 2009, Apple announce that they are releasing iPhone firmware 3.0 Beta 2. And on the next day (3rd April 2009), RebelSim announce that their RebelSim v61 is still able to unlock this version of firmware and baseband (iPhone Firmware 3.0 Beta 2, Baseband 4.22.01.). This is a good news to those who already got their RebelSim, or those that going to purchase it.

As of now, RebelSim v61 is able to unlock:

- iPhone Firmware 2.2, Baseband 2.28.00 (You don’t need RebelSim, Since Yellowsn0w can do the job for free.)

- iPhone Firmware 2.2.1, Baseband 2.30.03 (You need this, or any other turbosim. No way to unlock 2.2.1 without them, as of today.)

- iPhone Firmware 3.0 Beta 2, Baseband 04.22.01 (I have no heard anything out there can do this, except this one.)

So, If you are thinking of upgrading to Firmware 3.0 Beta 2, AND you successed on the jailbreak with the tool that is mentioned in previous post. You will need this RebelSim v61 to unlock your phone to work with your Mobile Service Provider simcard.

Or, if you had mistakenly upgraded to Firmware 2.2.1 Baseband 2.30.03, or Firmware 3.0 Beta 2, Baseband 4.22.01, this is a choice for you. The down side for this is the RebelSim cost you 10 – 25 pounds (depence the package that you choose), excluding the shipping fee to your country. It is your decision to have your iPhone become an “iPod”, or get one of this to make your iPhone 3G alive again.

iPhone 3.0 Firmware Beta 2 is Out

Watson — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 11:16:44 +0000

Apple just release the iPhone 3.0 Firmware Beta 2 yesterday (2nd April 2009).

As we remember, the announcement of the release of iPhone 3.0 Firmware Beta (consider this is Beta 1) was just two weeks back.

What does this mean? One reason, this means that the Beta 1 is having a lot of BUGS.

All of us know that iPhone 3.0 is now possible to jailbreak, but as far as I know, it is still not able to unlock yet. But, even you are having a Globally unlock iPhone, it is better for you to stay on current version of firmware. Unless you are one of the developer in one of the development teams that writes iPhone Applications. Since you will be clam enough if you find out these bugs. An end user like me will only scold and throw (may be, anyone please stop me to do this, if I do…) the phone away.

Let’s wait for a more stable and less (should I say “no”? I think it is nearly impossible.) buggy 3.0 Firmware. I guess, we will not need to wait too long for this day to come.

QuickPWN 3.0 BETA Jailbreak for iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 2

Jas — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 15:01:57 +0000

Attention! QuickPWN 3.0 Beta 2 is out! This is an unofficial release and it’s not created by the iPhone Dev Team.

I know there are iPhone developers out there who want to upgrade to iPhone 3.0, iPod Touch 3.0, or iPhone 3G 3.0, but also want to keep their jailbreak. The Russian hacker Vortex has once again released an unofficial jailbreak at iPhoneApps.ru. I tried it on my iPod Touch with firmware 3.0 beta 2 and it works! You can only jailbreak on the iPhone 3.0 Beta 2, iPhone 3G 3.0 beta 2, and iPod Touch 1st Gen beta 3.0. It’s 3.2 MB only because it install’s RiPDev’s Icy program. Once you’ve jailbroken you need to open Icy, refresh all the sources and install OpenSSH to jailbreak. If you need any help please join the iPhone OS 3.0 forums and ask for help there.

Let us know if you make it work and please share your experience.

Note: This is BETA software, and some jailbroken apps may not work. Continue discussion in the iPhone OS 3.0 forum.
