Copyright Office of the U.S. Library of Congress now makes it legal for users to jailbreak their iPhone in the US. To jailbreak an iPhone means to go round the restrictions imposed by the manufacturer to install and use applications other than those authorized and provided by Apple. As the iPhone is far from flawless as Apple created it, thousands of iPhone users have flocked to Jailbreak so as to solve all of the problems. This step-by-step guide will show you how to Jailbreak iPhone 3GS in 3 simple steps.
Step 1: preparations
This iPhone Jailbreak guide requires you to download the following:(1) RedSn0w for Windows, Mac or Linux; (2) the official Apple iPhone restore file (.ipsw) for iPhone 3G.
Step 2: Upgrade iTunes to the latest version and check iPhone IOS updates.
upgrade your iTunes to the latest version (currently 9.2.1) and backup your iPhone. Then check if your iPhone is running the right IOS.
Step 3: Run RedSn0w
Launch RedSn0w and click “Browse.”
Select the IOS 4 .ispw file and click next.
Turn off your iPhone and make sure it’s plugged in read the instructions on the screen.
Click next and follow the onscreen instructions.
Hold the power button in for the allotted amount of time.
Then hold both the power and the home-screen button in together.
Finally, just hold the home-screen button.
In under a minute, you will have a Jailbroken iPhone 3G.
That’s it, you’ll see the following two screens while Cydia, the jailbreak app store app, is installed and then you’re ready to go. Cydia is part of the RedSn0w package and will install as a app on the iphone, you will then be able to install jailbreak apps using Cydia.
Let your iPhone reboot, open Cydia and download a bunch of cool apps and modifications that you could not otherwise download with a factory iPhone.

Technology evolves seconds. Great post my friend. I’m looking forward for another wonderful post from you.
I am new to iphone and would like to jailbreak it. My iphone is rev 4.3.4 Is it safe to do it?
Thanks
Is it risky to jailbreak if I just got a iPhone. Also when new updates are available how do you get the new updates installed when they are available?
Oh hell no. Not worth it.
3- when it shows unrecogonized build error, qliukcy shutdown your iphone while its on apple logo by holding the home and sleep button.4- now go to extras and select IPSW of 5.0 and then just boot .it should work, i just did that. just remember use 5.0.1 to upgrade ur iphone on itune and use 5.0 to jailbreak
Wowza, poerblm solved like it never happened.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, THIS didn’t fuck up my iPhone 4 on Windows. this guy is the only person who acltualy had a working jailbreak and links. THIS WORKS FORSURE.props to this guy for acltualy being real.
At last, someone comes up with the “right” aneswr!
Sim card question:i have a 3g 8gb at&t. I want to use vzoeirn. After i jailbreak and unlock .DO I NEED SPECIFICALLY A VERIZON SIM FOR THE MEMORY????CAN IT BE “ANY” SIM CARD???This aspect is very unclearany feedback please THANKS
I wish this worked for an iPhone 4s…
The only thing I might jailbreak my iPhone for would be (no cost) tethering. But, with AT&T cracking down on such use, I’ll just skip it altogether.
I’ll be jailbreaking my Ipad 2 once Comex resolves the Camera Connection Kit issue that Jailbreakme.com currently has.
Hack again?!
im way too scared of losing my warranty from apple if something goes wrong
Is Jailbreaking Safe?
Does this unlock 4s as well?
There is really only one reason to ‘jailbreak’ your iPhone: You want to steal popular apps and are cheap. There are may be three people on the planet who have a reasonable excuse to jailbreak the iDevices and I think they could do without it.
Obviously a large contingent of people wanting to leave the “walled garden”. I personally know quite a few who prefer to jailbreak.
why you think many buy apple? for the same reason they dont want to pay for anything……its a hackers heaven……
You can all fight over Android and iphone all day. I will stick to my less popular Nokia. Single core yes, behind the rest no.
Just find me one person who after a month has ‘jailbroken’ their iPhone who has not stolen at least one app.
I have a old IPhone 8gb. I want to know can, I use a Tmobile card in it.
how do i get this jailbreak?
from someone else: Here is how i soelvd the unrecogonized build error after several attempts1- open redsn0w and dont select IPSW.2- go to extras and click just boot,.3- when it shows unrecogonized build error, quickly shutdown your iphone while its on apple logo by holding the home and sleep button.4- now go to extras and select IPSW of 5.0 and then just boot .it should work, i just did that.just remember use 5.0.1 to upgrade ur iphone on itune and use 5.0 to jailbreak
I assume this will work on iphone 4S?
ORG Announced new and easy Unlock and Jailbreak tool for iphone , it unkolcs the latest 4.3.5 firmware , i used it today and it worked and now i can use_any_sim card i want.
hey, does this website work for the iTouch 4G and does it require your being plugged into the computer at the time?
Does anyone know if there is a way to upgrade from 5.0.0 tethered jailbreak to 5.0.1 untethered without losing any apps or settings? Is it a direct upgrade?
You made a number of fine points there. I did a search on the topic and found mainly people will agree with your blog.
