It didn’t take long for the iPhone Dev Team to come up with a jailbreak solution for iPhone OS 3.1.3 which was recently released for iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS, iPod Touch 2G and 3G. redsn0w 0.9.4 jailbreaks and unlocks iPhone 2G, jailbreaks iPhone 3G, iPod Touch 1G and iPod Touch 2G (non-MC Models). If you have other models, we suggest that you hold back from upgrading to firmware 3.1.3.
Here’s a step by step guide to jailbreaking iPhone 2G and 3G (don’t do it if y
Jailbreak iPhone OS 3.13
- Download iTunes 9.0.3. This is the latest version of iTunes available so upgrade to it before starting to be sure you don’t run into any issues.
- Download redsn0w 0.9.4 ( download link at the end of the post )
- Download and install iPhone OS 3.1.3 on your iPhone or iPod Touch using iTunes.
- Navigate to the following location on your computer C:\Users\{your windows user name}\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates and copy the iPhone OS 3.1.2 IPSW file (iPhone OS firmware) file to your desktop for easy access.
- Run redsn0w 0.9.4 and click on browse. Point it to the iPhone OS 3.1.2 firmware you just copied to your desktop.
- After redns0w has validated the firmware, it will show some options such as Install Cydia, Verbose boot etc. Make sure to check Install Cydia and Already pwned.
- Turn off your iPhone or iPod Touch and connect it to your PC. Hit next in redsn0w. It’ll start patching the kernel of your iPhone firmware file.
- Start your iPhone or iPod Touch in recovery mode by pressing both the power and home button until the help message on redsn0w disappears. If you had shut down your device as told in step 7, this process will be faster.
- Click next again. Now you’ll have to hold the power and while holding it, press the home button but don’t release it. After a few seconds, let go of the power button but keep the home button pressed until the firmware installation starts.
- Now it’ll take some time for the process to complete.
As noted above, don’t try this on your iPhone 3G if you don’t want to lose the unlock. So stay away from OS 3.1.3 till then!

Can anyone help me.
It seems step 6 and 7 are mixed up in this tut.
If i point redsn0w to the 3.1.2 firmware i get the screen at step 7 then the option to choose what to install mentioned in step 6. If i then start the iPod in recovery Redsn0w does it’s trick, and tells me it will continue on the device itself. And the it stops with out any signs of being complete.

re: “Navigate to the following location on your computer C:\Users\{your windows user name}\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates”
That’s for Windows… what’s the equivalent on a Mac?
o I open redsn0w 0.9.4 and
1) it doesn’t ask if its non mc. its not but isn’t it supposed to ask?
2) doesn’t do anything after the second waiting for reboot screen. ipod doesn’t turn white or anything.
I manually reboot and… nothing…
