Jailbreak iOS 4: You Can Now Move To iOS 4.0 If You Are On iPhone3G

Dev Team have updated their blog post with some good news.  If you are iPhone 3G, you can now try upgrading to iOS 4. WOW. But be careful. I would advice you to wait for 1 week atleast and then try. redsn0w will get more and more stable within next 7-10 days:

Update #1: redsn0w beta has been updated to hacktivate iOS 4.0 for iPhone3G (in addition to jailbreaking the iPhone3G and iPod Touch 2G).   The download links for redsn0w 0.9.5b5-3 are:

• Mac OSX (x86)
• Windows

For now, the redsn0w beta release supports only the iPhone3G and iPod Touch 2G at today’s 4.0. It’s still a beta, so you’ll need to let Cydia reorganize, reload, and update after using redsn0w.

If you face any issues while moving to iOS 4, check Dev Team’s huge comment section. Here is that link; scroll down a bit to find those interesting comments.
This guide also works for a variety of devices:

STOP!!! Do not upgrade your iPhone OS from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3 if you are on Jailbreak iPhone

Hold it, do not hit the upgrade button in your iTunes if you have jailbroken your iPhone. Looks like Apple has hit back against Jailbreakers. iPhone OS 3.1.3 is BIG trouble for Jailbreak iPhone users. Even though iPhone Dev Team has released a newer version of Redsn0w that allows 3.1.3 jailbreak, its not recommended. Dev Team calls this version of redsn0w for experimental purposes only.

DO NOT UPGRADE TO IPHONE 0S 3.1.3 IF YOU ARE ON JAILBREAK/UNLOCKED IPHONE. And if you have done already, check this post by BigBoss and screen through the comments under that post.

How To Jailbreak and Unlock iPhone If You Are On 3.0.1 firmware And Using RedSn0w V0.8

Quick Update: If you are Jailbreaking your iPhone and RedSn0w V0.8 is not recognizing your iPhone OS 3.0.1 version, here is how to solve this issue:

You can re-use redsn0w v0.8 we released a few weeks ago to jailbreak today’s 3.0.1 update.  Just let iTunes update or restore you to official 3.0.1 then run redsn0w.  The only “trick” is that when redsn0w asks you to identify the IPSW used, point it at the 3.0 IPSW instead of the 3.0.1 one.   After the jailbreak, reinstall ultrasn0w 0.9 if you need the unlock.

The best way to unlock your iPhone 3G would be follow step-by-step instructions published by CrunchGear. Let me briefly share with you all those steps. This is the most simple way to unlock and jailbreak your iPhone 3G. For a detailed flow with screenshots, follow CrunchGear:

How to unlock your 3G iPhone

Yellowsn0w is out and it’s ready to rock. Here’s how to become SIM-independent.

NB: Install the latest 2.2 firmware before beginning this process.

1. First, download quickpwn and jailbreak your phone.
2. Use the latest firmware to pwn your phone (download it from Apple here). This will allow you to install Cydia or Installer. If you just updated your phone or updated your phone on the computer you are running quickpwn on, you probably won’t have to download the firmware.
3. Then, add the repositories (DO NOT ENTER THESE URLs INTO YOUR BROWSER per Dev Team’s instructions). For Cydia enter: http://apt9.yellowsn0w.com/ For Installer enter: http://i.yellowsn0w.com/
4. Install yellowsn0w. Run it.
5. Turn off the iPhone and install your third party SIM.NB: f you are in the U.S. and are trying this with T-Mobile, you must turn off the 3G switch in Settings.
6. Turn on the phone. Wait until your carrier pops up. If it doesn’t, take the SIM out and reinstall it.

3G Unlock – iPhone Dev Team

We have been working hard on a few other things. The main one being the 3G unlock codenamed “yellowsn0w”. This is now completed and is currently being packaged into a user-friendly application with the simplicity that you see in QuickPwn or BootNeuter.

• The target release date for the unlock is New Year’s Eve 2008.
• This unlock method is available to iPhone 3Gs that have 2.11.07 baseband or earlier, we did warn you.
• You can tell what version baseband you have by going to Settings->General->About->Modem Firmware
• The unlock requires a jailbroken 3G iPhone.  It’ll be installable via Cydia and so it doesn’t matter if you have a Mac or PC.
• Please refrain from updating your baseband, regardless of what version you’re at.  We’ll have complete directions on New Year’s Eve.
• We’ll stream a live demo of the unlock before Christmas (see the update at the end of this post)
