Jailbreaking 3GS Phones: A Step by Step Guide

By Andrea Mihelsic


A few people are under the mistaken belief that to jailbreak 3GS phones is impossible, but this is not true. What I'm about to lay out for you is a simple step by step how-to manual to crack and jailbreak these kinds of mobile devices. After you get your hands on the requisite software utilities you can often get this done in an estimated half an hour.

1. Prior to breaking your mobile device you have to jailbreak it and this calls for the genuine Apple IPSW. Hook the device up to your computer and follow that up by clicking the restore button. Indicate that you consent to do a back-up of the iPhone and then download the software that will start the restore process. When you see the download pop-up message come up on the right side of the screen, unhook the phone. You don't actually desire to let the restore finish; you really just need to get your paws on the IPSW file.

2. When the download ends, pop open redsn0w. Click on the button that says "open". If you are downloading via iTunes, you have to choose the iPhone2, 1_3.0 7A1 file - It's in the phones' library where it states the name as iPhone Program Updates; (it might be under the sub-account that says user).

3. Hit Ok. Then pick the button that says "next", you ought to get to where the kernel is in order to start compiling the customized firmware that is used to crack the mobile device. After completion of the loading procedure you'll be queried as to which options you want to load. Click the check box on the Icy and Cydia boxes and click "next" to permit redsn0w to finish putting together the firmware.

4. After the firmware is compiled, redsn0w will then instantly put your mobile unit in what is known as DFU mode. 3GS phones carry disparate functions when it comes to DFU mode. Especially in comparison to older phones. When it tells you to disconnect, you should do so, and shut down and plug in the device. Hold the button that says "home" until the iTunes logo comes back up. Then the cracking will begin.

5. When the jailbreak procedure comes to an end, hook up to Wi-Fi and then load the Icy app. You could find it necessary to wait on the tap sources. When the verifying sources finishes, then push the button that says "edit" at the upper left part of the screen and after that click the plus key at the lower left part of the screen. Follow this by clicking the button labelled "add" to type in: http://repo666.ultrasn0w.com inside of the source section. Click the more sizeable add key so as to finish this part. Press the refresh button on right in order to run verification on the source.

6. Whilst you have the Icy app open, you should scroll toward the bottom of the screen and select the key that says "Utilities". Be certain that you hit "Utilities", not "Utility". At the bottom of the utilities screen "ultrasn0w" should be seen". Push that and then Push "Install". When the install is finished, your jailbreak 3GS is complete - simply restart the device and you are completely done!
