Jailbreak iPhone 3.0.1
The iPhone 3.0.1 update was recently released. If you want to jailbreak any iPhone running on iPhone OS 3.0.1, you must use redsn0w 0.8. This post will show a step-by-step tutorial on how to jailbreak iPhone 3.0.1 with redsn0w.
Note:
- redsn0w only recognizes iPhone 3.0 firmware (not 3.0.1 yet!), although you are running firmware 3.0.1 you must still download iPhone OS 3.0 firmware for your device.
- The recent iPhone 3.0.1 update does not fix the iPhone 3GS hole, so it’s safe for iPhone 3GS users to update. If you downloaded a purplera1nday file or your iBec or iBSS for iPhone 3GS you don’t need to redownload it because it’s identical in this update.
First you must download redsn0w for Windows, Mac, or Linux from here.
redsn0w 0.8 works for Phone 3.0.1, iPhone 3G 3.0.1, iPhone 3GS 3.0.1, iPod Touch 3.0, and iPod Touch 2G 3.0.
1. Download the iPhone OS 3.0 IPSW file for your device and save it to your desktop. Here are the file names for each device, make sure you have the right one:
- iPhone 2G – filename: iPhone1,1_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw [download link]
- iPhone 3G – filename: iPhone1,2_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw [download link]
- iPhone 3GS – filename: iPhone2,1_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw [download link]
2. Open the redsn0w 0.8 application to jailbreak iPhone 3.0.1.
3. Click the Browse button.
4. Locate your device’s IPSW file that you downloaded in step 1 and click Open.
5. The redsn0w window will have the “IPSW successfully identified” message. Click the Next button to continue.
6. redsn0w will ask you to “Please select which options you would like to have“. Make sure the Install Cydia box has a check mark and then click Next.
7. redsn0w will ask you to make sure your device is both OFF and PLUGGED IN to your computer. Make sure you plug in your device in to your computer and then turn it off. Click Next once you have done this.
8. redsn0w will now ask you to connect your device in DFU mode, you must do this properly to jailbreak iPhone 3.0.1.
- Hold down the Power button for 3 seconds
- Without releasing the Power button, also hold down the Home (bottom center button) for 10 seconds
- Without releasing the Home button, release the Power button BUT KEEP holding the Home button for 30 seconds
- If you don’t do this properly you will get a DFU Mode Failed message and you’ll have to go back to step one.
9. Once your device has successfully entered DFU Mode, redsn0w will show the following message: “Please wait while your device is being jailbroken. Waiting for reboot.” Your device should reboot after this. If redsn0w is stuck on Waiting to Reboot, unplug your USB cable quickly and plug it back in. The jailbreaking process should continue after tha.
10. Once your device has rebooted redsn0w will start uploading the RAMDisk and kernel.
11. After everything has been successfully uploaded to your device, redsn0w will have; the “Done!” message. Your device will now reboot and you should see the Cydia app on your SpringBoard. Your iPhone is now jailbroken!

i tried jailbreaking my iphone 3g and it all works great–until it asks me to plug it in. then i get a message that reads, no sim card installed. i used to use my iphone as a phone until i broke the sim card inside it so now i just want to use it as an ipod. how can i “unlock” the phone so i can get back to using it? i don’t have the pin either and it was working as an ipod fine until i decided to update the phone.
also make sure if youre on 7 and maybe vista as well you run redsn0w as administrator
hey guys,ive got an 3g touch and was wondering once ive jailbrtoken my ipod can i turn it off or does it restore my ipod?
help apreciated
thanks
I follow through the step and still got stuck at “downloading jailbreak data…” for over 30 min. Anyone got an insight to this?
same here; maybe becuase ipsw wasnt the same as firmwere on device?
Hi
I followed your instructions and it wokrs fine except for the wireless. the wireless cannot scan any networks. When i goto settings –>general–>about,I can see that my iphone has a wifi and a bluetooth, but then it goes into spow(spinning wheel of death). Upon making the phone join networks by clicking on others it says : could not scan for wireless networks.
Any help is appreciated.
hi i’ve installed firmvare ver 3 on my 3G iphone .
i’ve jailbroked it with redsn0w and then installed ultrasn0w for carried unlock but its not coming on to network. it says no service.
need help. does someone has any idea?
I’m having a problem with my ipone (first generation) and I called the coustemor care rep but they were like you have to jailbreak it in china (where i’m currently at right now) I bought the phone in San Francisco but the thing is I plugged it into my new laptop and it said it couldn’t read my iphone when I plugged it into itunes. So it told me to ‘restore’ it and I did. After it was done restoring it said there was a problem. The costumer care said it was being i’m using a china sim and not a at&t sim and told me to jail break it. The problem is, this is a new laptop and i didn’t bring anything besides the iphone with it. (the cd’s etc.) so I don’t have the files to jailbreak it. I need help. word of advice? I can’t seem to find a costumer care provider here anywhere in guangzhou. it’s either they don’t know how and they are just rude.Some more info on the phone is that I am unable to use the phone, technically it’s ‘locked’ cause i dont have a at&t sim with me. Help?
Did all the steps.
sat and watched the spinning wheel on my iphone. it took almost 9 minutes.
restarted.
then i have the Mac logo for about 2 minutes.
it has just shown my desktop pic, beeped, and now is on.
how do i know if it worked?
I’m right there with you Kano.
I completed all the steps…after waiting for quite a while for the downloading data sign and then it rebooted and now it doesn’t seem like anythings changed.
Isn’t there supposed to be a jailbreak icon on your phone? How you do make updates? I have no idea if it worked or not.
Someone, please help!
