Android – Iphone – Applications

This is strictly for iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G (non-MC model) only. If your iPhone 3G relies on an unlock, DO NOT update to iOS 4.1 Beta now as the current version of ultrasn0w cannot unlock this new firmware.

Please Note that this is only for Developers

If you have iPhone 3G (which doesn’t rely on an unlock), or an iPod Touch 2G (non-MC model), then simply follow this guide

Step 1:

Download iOS 4.1 Beta for your version of iPhone and iPod touch.

Step 2:

Update to this latest firmware using the IPSW file you just downloaded via iTunes 9.2

Step 3:

Start Redsn0w 0.9.5b5-5 (download link given below) and point it to iOS 4 (Final Version), and not iOS 4.1 firmware file to proceed with the jailbreak.

Step 4:

Now select “Install Cydia” and click “Next”.

Step 5:

Now make sure your device is both OFF and PLUGGED IN to the computer before you click “Next”.

Step 6:

Connect your device in recovery mode by pressing the Power and buttons continuously.

At this stage you will be presented with a screen where you will have to quickly hold “Power” button and then while holding the “Power” button, you will now have to hold “Home” button too. Now after few seconds release “Power” button but keep holding “Home” button until installation begins.

Step 7:

Once done, your iPhone will restart automatically and you will find it jailbroken on the latest iOS 4.1 Beta firmware.

In the last post, we provided you links to download iTunes 9.2 beta and iOS 4 GM for iPhone and iTouch. If you are in a hurry to upgrade and jailbreak, there’s a trick that will allow you to use PwnageTool and create a custom firmware. Since the baseband of our iPhones was already upgraded, we can’t confirm 100% that it will preserve your baseband and that you can unlock. Use it at your own risk.

NOTE: this is not an official DevTeam release, so if you don’t know what you’re getting into, you better wait for an official iOS/jailbreak/unlock release.

You will need:

• jailbreak bundle for iPhone 3Gs 4.0 GM
• PwnageTool
• redsn0w 0.9.5beta4
• iTunes 9.2

NOTE: The Cydia package that is currently in PwnageTool does not work for 4.0. The easiest way to get it working is to download the redsn0w jailbreak for beta 4 and extract Cydia from there and put it into your custom PwnaGetool.

How to:

1. Download the bundle and all the tools and place them on your desktop

2. First, you will need to download the custom bundle and copy it into PwnageTool. To do that, right click on PwnageTool.app and ‘Show Package Contents’ .

Browse to Contents>Resources>Firmware Bundles> and copy thecustom bundle…

3. Right click on redsn0w.app and ‘Show Package Contents’. Browse to Contents>MacOS> . Copy Cydia.tar.gz on your desktop and extract its content.

Now you will need to copy Cydia into PwnageTool.app. To do that, right click on Pwnagetool.app and ‘Show Package Contents’. Browse to : Contents>Resources>CustomPackages> right click on ‘CydiaInstaller.bundle’ and ‘Show Package Contents’ > Files> and overwrite all the files with the ones you just extracted from redsn0w

4. That’s it. Now load PwnageTool.app and create your custom firmware. If you don’t know how, check this tutorial

5. Once you got the custom .ipsw, you will restore your iOS device via iTunes. Your iOS device must be jailbroken. Put the device in recovery mode and restore.

NOTE: this is NOT an official DevTeam release, and we cannot 100% confirm that it will preserve your baseband. Use it at your own risk
