Jailbreak, iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS | Doug | July 31, 2009 at 6:14 pm

Apple recently released the iPhone 3.0.1 update for iPhone users. This update was released to fix a SMS vulnerability that Charlie Miller and Collin Mulliner discovered in iPhone OS 3.0. If you have a jailbreak or unlock, you will need to follow the below steps to keep it.

How to Jailbreak iPhone 3.0.1

1. After updating to iPhone 3.0.1 download and install iPhone 3.0 firmware.

Download iPhone firmware 3.0 (filename: iPhone1,1_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw)

Download iPhone 3G firmware 3.0 (filename: iPhone1,2_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw)

Download iPhone 3GS firmware 3.0 (filename: iPhone2,1_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw )

2. Download redsn0w.

3. Follow the guide at the Jailbreak iPhone 3.0.1 post. When you select the firmware, choose the 3.0 firmware instead of the 3.0.1 firmware. This is safe and it works!

Update: If your iPhone 3GS is stuck on “Waiting for reboot” unplug your USB cable and plug it back in.

Unlock iPhone 3.0.1

1. Follow the steps above to  jailbreak your iPhone.

2. Once your iPhone is jailbroken, open Cydia.

3. Add repo666.ultrasn0w.com to your sources

4. Install ultrasn0w, and reboot!

5. Now your iPhone should be unlocked.

      You shall just connect yout iPhone to your PC again, and let iTunes do the sync, or maybe don’t.. Doesn’t mather.. Just connect it, and let microsoft sync, then afterwards there are properply no problems.. Use to wokr for me.. Happens often – Sometimes it also changes the icon when after it has been connected to iTunes.. Wierd i know..

    • ciaran says:

    I downloaded iPhone firmware 3.0 (filename: iPhone1,1_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw) and this is a zip file.

    After unzipping it, I do not see a restore file or a .ipsw file in the contents of the zip.

    Can someone tell me where can I find the iPhone firmware 3.0 for a 2G iPhone?

    Hi,

    I’m really stuck. I have an original iPhone 3g 16gb. It was jailbroken and unlocked to version (2.something) don’t remember now.

    I then downloaded (redsn0w-mac_0.8) and (iPhone1,2_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw)

    Then ran redsn0w and now it’s stuck. On the screen is a usb with an arrow pointing to the itunes logo.

    Can anyone help me?

  11. im sorry, its me again,

    just to let u guys know im using iTunes 9.0.2.25 and my iphone is a 3G 16gb

    Please can someone help me. I had firmware 3.0.1 on my iphone. It was actually jailbroken but not unlocked somehow.

    So i followed ur instructions for this and when i use the firmware given on the begining of the tut on iTunes it goes quite well until iTnues is checking firware status, goes through restoring and so on, and then i get this?

    The iPhone “iPhone” could not be restored. An unknow error occured (1015)

    What do i do next? My phone was jailbroken before just fine, and i tried using 3.0 firmware to be able to unlock and now i can even get passed the first step.

    Please help me.

    Worked absolutely fine with my 2G. ;-) but after two attempts.

    I had a slight miss, which is not well mentioned in the workinstruction.
    It is the moment you upgrade the IPSW (with iTunes shift key process) to the latest 3.0 version THEN WAIT for your iPhone to restart. It will restart by itself, be patient!!
    Then, it will start complaining about SIM not supported etc..

    And ONLY THEN execute the Redsn0w process steps.

    Thanks to the quickPWN team!

    Hi,

    I have an iphone 3Gs, I recently had it unlocked (3 days ago) because I am moving to Italy, I am in italy right now and after charging my phone now it is stuck on the screen with the itunes symbol, and the usb cord. If i restore my phone in itunes, will this lock my phone back up?!

    Any help would be really appreciated :)
