Jailbreak and unlock iPhone 3.1.3

Jailbreak iPhone 3.1.2

Today the iPhone 3.1.3 update was released to iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and iPod Touch usres. This update includes mainly bug fixes. If you would like to jailbreak or unlock your device, you must read this. If you have an unlocked iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS do not update to this new firmware, updating to the iPhone 3.1.2 firmware will permanently update your baseband. The newer baseband does not support software unlocking.

The jailbreak has not been released yet, but you if you’ve got too much time on your hands you may be able to jailbreak if you try the following. If this works please share your results in the comments.

How to Jailbreak iPhone 3.1.3Jailbreak and unlock iPhone 3.1

1. Update to iPhone 3.1.3. After updating, find your iPhone 3.1.3 IPSW file or download it using any of the links below. Remember, don’t use Safari to download. Safari can’t download .IPSW files properly, use a different browser!
If you are having trouble downloading the iPhone 3.1.2 firmware through the iTunes Application then you can directly download the appropriate firmware for your device by downloading iPhone userbar and clicking Downloads button and then downloading the appropriate firmware:

  • iPhone 3.1.3download (iPhone1,1_3.1.3_7E18_Restore.ipsw, 241 MB)
  • iPhone 3G 3.1.3 download (iPhone1,2_3.1.3_7E18_Restore.ipsw, 242 MB)
  • iPhone 3GS 3.1.3 download (iPhone2,1_3.1.3_7E18_Restore.ipsw, 306 MB)

2. Download jailbreak from iPhone toolbar (only works on Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer)

3. Follow the jailbreaking guide at the Jailbreak iPhone 3.1 post.

Unlock iPhone 3.1.3

It’s possible to unlock iPhone 3.1.3 but only if your baseband has not been updated to 05.11.07 or the newer baseband, you must create a custom firmware that uses the 04.26.08 baseband. The iPhone 3.1.3 update updates the baseband to a newer one that permanently blocks the software unlock. A guide on how to unlock iPhone 3.1.3 will be up once a jailbreak tool is released.

For now, follow downlolad iPhone toolbar and you’ll receive an alert once it’s released.

Today Geohot released blacksn0w. I’ve created a step-by-step tutorial on how to
install blacksn0w on iPhone OS 3:

safe from future updates.

    HI!!

    WHEN WE WILL UNLOCK IPHONE 3G 3.1.3 WITH BASEBAND 05.12.01. PRESENTLY MY IPHONE IS MY EXPENSIVE PAPER WEIGHT.

  16. William says:

    Yup same here my iphone was a very expensive paperweights. Not only that I lost wifi when I updated to 3.1.3 software. So jailbreaking was a little of a curve for me. I jailbroke it with redsn0w but still no unlock right now. I was able to download a windows version of cydia that allows you to put apps on it. Its called cyder2 if anyones interested.

  17. raff says:

    I have a brand new in box 3GS (old one broke) Is there any way I can prevent the 3.1.3 update? Not turning it on until I am sure I can use blackrain or I am already updated to the dreaded 3.1.3

    Thanks for any help

    • hedge says:

      same question here. im updating from 3g to 3gs today at the ATT store and wondering when i take my new new 3gs outt of box will i be able to jailbreak it?

  18. Bobby says:

    Are you people morons? You come to a Site where they tell you that there is not a hack yet. But you people still post begging for someone to hack your device. Did it ever occur to you winners that if the hacks existed the authors wouldn’t tell you to wait? Or are you too stupid to breathe?

  19. Moon says:
