Jailbreak your Iphone (3.0) with RedSn0w

This guide & tutorial will show you how to use and application called RedSn0w to jailbreak your iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G IPhone 3GS, or iPod Touch 2G. If you would like a better understanding of what jailbreaking is, or how it works, please read this.

This tutorial will explain how to use Jailbreak your phone in Windows, but RedSn0w works in windows or Mac OS X almost exactly the same.

(Please note: If you would like to Unlock your phone from your locked in network provider, you will have to Jailbreak your phone first)

1) Firstly, before doing anything, check what firmware you have on your Iphone. Currently RedSn0w 0.8 supports up to firmware 3.0.1 (NOT 3.1) please check here for the latest supported versions direct from the guys who created RedSn0w

2) Download 2 things: RedSn0w and your corresponding firmware that you have on your phone from here.

3) Unzip and launch RedSn0w.

4) Click "browse" and select the 3.0 firmware you downloaded in step 2. (NOTE: If you are running firmware 3.0.1, please use Firmware 3.0 to Jailbreak.

5) Once RedSn0w has verified the firmware, click next.

6) Select "Install Cydia" and click next. (I would reccomend unselecting Icy as this could cause other issues)

7) RedSn0w will guide you through the Jailbreaking process and tell you to turn off your phone and hold the power/home buttons at different times. follow these steps as written on the screen.

8) If done correctly, your iphone will reboot and the Jailbreak should start. it could take up to 15 minutes so be patient. Click Finish on RedSn0w and wait for the Jailbreak to complete.

9) After your Iphone reboots, you should see a new icon on your iphone called "Cydia" from here you can download a load of applications.

10) When a new firmware comes out (EG: 3.1) DO NOT UPGRADE. This will disable your jailbreak. and you will lose all jailbroken apps and also cydia.

Enjoy!
