Update: This tutorial does not install Cydia, in other words you must wait for iPhone Dev Team to release the new redsn0w software. When I saw the successfully jailbroken message on the screen I thought Cydia was installed and in all the excitement I decided to post this up for everyone else. Please wait until the new redsn0w is out. Bookmark this site and I’ll make a tutorial once it’s officially released.
With the iPhone 3.1 update which was recently released, jailbreakers will need to jailbreak their devices again. This update fixes a lot of bugs that were present in the iPhone OS 3.0 firmware, has anti-phising built-in and other cool features. In this post I will explain how to jailbreak iPhone 3.1 using redsn0w.
Note: This tutorial will be using redsn0w version 0.8. There is no redsn0w 3.1 out yet, but this worked for me on 1st Generation iPod Touch 3.1. It may not work for iPhone. If this does not work then don’t complain! I recommend you wait for the Dev Team to release the next version of redsn0w (which may be some time this week). I’ll make another tutorial once they do.
If you unlocked your iPhone and you want to keep your unlock, then don’t update to iPhone 3.1 otherwise you won’t ever be able to software unlock again (iPhone 3.1 updates the baseband permanently).
You must update to iPhone 3.1 first (if you have an unlocked iPhone you must not update yet as this will permanently lock your iPhone). After updating, either locate your iPhone 3.1 IPSW file or download it using any of the links below. Do not use Safari, instead use Firefox or Internet Explorer to download otherwise this will download as a Zip file!
- iPhone 3.1 download (iPhone1,1_3.1_7C144_Restore.ipsw, 241 MB)
- iPhone 3G 3.1 download (iPhone1,2_3.1_7C144_Restore.ipsw, 242 MB)
- iPhone 3GS 3.1 download (iPhone2,1_3.1_7C144_Restore.ipsw, 306 MB)
3. Follow the jailbreaking guide below.
Note:
- redsn0w only recognizes iPhone 3.0 firmware (not 3.1 yet!), although you are running firmware 3.1 you must still download iPhone OS 3.0 firmware for your device.
First you must download redsn0w for Windows, Mac, or Linux from here.
redsn0w 0.8 might work 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.

okay, NOT to hate on redsn0w, but you all need to download “blackra1n” …i messed with redsn0w soo many times with no prevail, then downloaded “blackra1n” that took literally 5-10 SECONDS, then the cydia app that took 3 SECONDS, and my iphone 3g is jailbroken!!
yay yay yay!!!! :]
hey do you have problems when restarting your iphone it takes you too recovery mode? i have installed it so many times and try to install stuff which made me reboot and send me back to recovery mode.. please email me back….
Dude i am having the same problem did you find out anything.
use backrain to jailbreak it again when it gives that error of connect with itunes…u phone is already unlocked than y to restore and other stuff..just click make it rain and its normal…
this is becuase u have a new ipod/ iphone.
And blackra1n is tethered, for the NEW ipod/iphone, this means you have to connect it to ur comp everytime you reboot.
I can’t wait for blackra1n to come out with a new jailbreak for the newer iPhone 3.1.2 without having to reboot it when it shuts off. I WANT TO JAILBREAK SO BAAAAAAD(:
Hi Migual, Me also have that problem. “when restarting your iphone it takes you too recovery mode? i have installed it so many times and try to install stuff which made me reboot and send me back to recovery mode”
-if you or someone know how to solve that problem please share! Thz
i have no wifi so i cant get cydia onto my ipod with blackra1n and i have 3.12
my phone is just saying “downloading jailbreak data….” for about 10 min now
I had the same problem. blackra1n solved it. Amazing utility takes only 1 min to unlock iPhone. WTF!? Sorry Redsn0w.
guyz the update of 3.1.2firmware u have to jailbreak with blackrain once it done than using blacksnow or icy it actually unlock but now at recently here in uae they blocked all the URL so we cant unlock but we can jailbreak….man i am waiting for redsnow update for 3.1.2..damn man i upgrade and unlocked for frnd but now when i did with my phone i cant coz of site BLOCKED BY the network providers.
Blackrain is easy, but the downfall is that you will always need to rerun Blackrain everytime you shut down or if your battery dies! that’s the downfall!!!! documented by blackrain.
i am waiting too for redSnow 3.1.2
Redsnow doesnt sound too good,, better settle for blackra1n. No offence redsn0w. :)
I have a question. Does PUSH Notifications option works properly after using redsn0w? ‘Cause after Blackra1n it doesn’t.
After Blackra1n i also cant use iPhoneBrowser…
Blackra1n worked faster. Thanks for the referral guys. I was actually struggling with the redsn0w. LOL
Greetings in the name of majesty hi i just done the same way it have mension but now my phone got hang with a note it says downloading jailbreak data i just want to know wat will happen next it takes long time of should i have to go to repair it please reaply soon as possible
so i follwed all instructions for using redsn0w to jailbreak my 3g iphone. Went into dfu mode just fine, uploaded ramdisk and kernel just fine, got weird pineapple guy, then when phone rebooted it just kept rebooting. Now it’s just doing that, itunes wont recognize the phone so I can reset, and blackra1n just says “waiting for device”. What do I do?
The reason why your iPhones are being sent back to the recovery screen is because of the version your iPhone is…5.5 doesn’t have any problems…5.6 is the one that does. Apple made a new version to crack down on people jailbreaking their iPhones
