if you have the new bootrom your better off holding out for a new jailbreak for ios4. i'd stick to 3.1.3 at the moment, you can jailbreak 3.1.3 using spirit.

I've jailbroken and unlocked my Iphone 3GS running 3.1.3 and on baseband 05.12.01 using Spirit to jailbreak, and Ultrasnow 0.93 to unlock. Was locked to Vodafone, now I can use any.

lads can any one point me in the right direction for a good guide...
i've managed to jailbreak all other versions 2g. 3gs and never had a problem.

I started to look into jailbreaking os4 for the 3gs last nite and am completely dumbfounded by it?

I'm currently on 3.12. firmware is 05/.11.07 and the model is mc133b (saw this pop up in a few utube vids.

Any help is appriciated!

Anyone successfully downgrade an iPod Touch from iOS4 to 3.1.2 / 3.1.3?

My girlfriend got an iPod Touch (3G) in the US - it's about 2 weeks old. Am unsure what firmware was on it when she bought it (presumably 3.1.3) but she upgraded to 4.0.

But I want to jailbreak it for her and I've tried downgrading to 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 using iTunes 9.1 (on Mac) and 9.2 (on Windows - this is the iTunes she and machine she used to upgrade). I don't want to upgrade to 9.2 as it'll screw up my Spirit JB for my iPad.

I carried out the restore by adding '74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com' to the hosts file (on both machines), putting the iPod into DFU Mode and selecting the downloaded firmware.

Both methods failed with different errors: Mac said something like device isn't eligible for the requested build, and PC is giving me an error 3194.

Very frustrating!

Sounds like you don't have the blobs stored already, so you are stuck at version 4 until the jailbreak is released.

Cheers hshortt.

That was my suspicion alright.

Hey,

I'm useless with anything to do with unlocking. Anybody know anywhere around Dublin City Centre where I can bring the phone to get unlocked?

Hi everyone.

Was told that this would be the best place to post this query. So bare with me if it's been answered before.

I have an iPhone 3gs which I updated to ios4. I was wondering if there was a way to jailbreak and then unlock it. I have read about blackra1n but am I right in thinking it wouldn't work with ios4?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Jailbroken already or not? If yes, then yes it can be unlocked. If not then you must wait for a jailbreak first.

Guys, has anyone bought an Iphone off Ebay? Does this seller look legit?

http://cgi.ebay.ie/APPLE-iPHONE-3G-8GB-BLACK-UNLOCKED-GPS-WiFi-APPS-/290452874274?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhones&hash=item43a0572422

Also, would that phone work if I put in my meteor pin? Sorry for the plethora of questions - not very techy/ebay-aware. Cheers, Mark.

freeze4real

well the seller looks legit to me.

IMO for an iphone 3G its expensive .
i got mine from the usa yesterday for 150e evrything plus shipping.

you do know that you are getting 1 iphone not 5.

If i were you i would use the 300 to get iphone 3GS.

Yea it works perfectly it's unlocked.

There are loads that are cheap.
You just have to find the right one.
Mine was pretty awesome as it came with an apple care plan or warranty till September. And when I recieved I wasn't taxed by customs So it was all good.

No sign of a jailbreak for 3gs iOS4.0.1 yet?

Nope, but the Dev Team seems to have made loads of progress on it, they said they would release it after iOS4 has been released so hopefully not long now.
