If you have read the previous post on “iPhone 3.0 SMS Security Vulnerability” and looking for way to fix the problem, here’s the fix for you.

Apple has announced the fix for the SMS Security Vulnerability, it’s a new firmware, version 3.0.1.

So, we are going to redo the steps you did when you upgrade to firmwares 3.0

Firstly, please make sure you have following files ready:

0) iTunes 8.2.1 (yes, Apple has new version of iTune recently.)

1.1) for iPhone 2G Firmware 3.0.1 – Click here to download
or download using iTune. (Warning! Big File 230MB.)

1.2) for iPhone 3G Firmware 3.0.1 – Click here to download
or download using iTune. (Warning! Big File 230MB.)

1.3) for iPhone 2G, Firmware 3.0 for 2G (please refer to previous post for link)

1.4) for iPhone 3G, Firmware 3.0 for 3G (please refer to previous post for link)

2) RedSn0w version 0.8 Jailbreak tool – Click here to download

3) Wireless Access for you to get UltraSn0w (if you don’t have wireless, there is another way. I’ll try post soon.)

OK! Now you should have all the requirements ready. Let’s do it!

1) Connect your iPhone 3G into your computer.

2) Launch iTunes 8.2.1, make sure you backup your iPhone before continue next step (right click iPhone Name on the left menu and choose “Backup”).

3) iTunes will tell you there is a new version available, ask you whether you want to Update or Restore. If you haven’t download the ipsw, you may download now.

4) For those who download the ipsw yourself, Press Shift Key + Update button.
For those who download the ipsw using iTunes, just press Update button, and skip step 5.

5) You will get a dialog box which ask you to browse to the ipsw file (the firmware 3.0.1 file) you downloaded just now.

6) iTune is now start to update you iPhone with the 3.0.1 firmware, this takes ~10mins.

7) Once it done, you will get the “Connect to iTune” screen on the iphone, just like you get your iPhone on the first day.

Now, with the cable connected, launch redsn0w.exe (unzip the downloaded redsn0w zip file and you will see this file. Please ignore the version on the redsn0w screen, I just re-use old image cox lazy to re-capture, they are visually the same except different version displayed on top).

9) Browse to the Firmware 3.0 ipsw file you downloaded last time. (Yes, 3.0 ipsw, not typing mistake! Why? Because redsn0w doesn’t work for 3.0.1 yet, but point to 3.0 it works.)

10) redsn0w will ask you to turn off your iPhone before begin Jailbreak, do it by press the power button and slide to power off it.

11) Get ready for the next steps (get ready means place your finger on the power button and home button location before continue.):

a – click Next button
b – press Power button for 2 sec
c – DO NOT release Power button, + press Home button for 10 sec
d – release Power button but NOT release Home button, continue 30 sec
e – Once you iPhone rebooted and start jailbreaking, you can release the Home button.

12) The jailbreak will take ~10 mins.

The running pineapple …

running ….

still running …..

13) OK! Now you iPhone is jailbreaked. You can “Slide to Unlock” now. Er. still without ISP Network.

14) Now, go into Settings. then Wi-Fi.

15) Setup and Connect onto your Wireless Network.

16) Go to second page of your Apps list, run Cydia.

17) Cydia will close for the first time initialize, start it again.

18) in Cydia, go into Manage. Press “Sources”.

19) Add repo “repo666.ultrasn0w.com”, please note the sn0w is Zero instead of Capital O.

20) in Cydia, go into Search.

21) type in “Ultra”, Ultrasn0w will be the list.

22) download and install Ultrasn0w.

23) reboot your iPhone.

24) Once iPhone booted up, it will get connected.

25) Done! Congratulation!

You do not need to Restore you data since you are updating your iPhone this time. Your Contact, songs, SMS, … will be still there.

Have fun.

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).
