redsn0w= JB across the PC and Mac platforms
ultrasn0w = ?

Why the sn0w idea, I perfer quick/winpwn :D
ultrasn0w is the unlock for 3.0 (except for the 3GS). It will be available in cydia "very soon."


So redsn0w unlocks/JB's 3.0? Does it matter if you have the new baseband? I do, on my iphone 3G.

I have 2.2.1, new firmware, and just use an unlock gevey card.
It only jailbreaks as of right now. Again, the unlock will be available very soon and yes it works with the new 3.0 baseband.




I just re-jailbroke my iPhone 3G using redsn0w because I didn't want the pineapple logo that PwnageTool created. Worked flawlessly.
 
So my Iphone is currently jailbroken with the 2.2.1 FW. Do I just follow the redsn0w instructions and it then should remain jailbroken but with the new 3.0 OS?

What you want to do is install the new 3.0 OS in iTunes, and use redsn0w to jailbreak. If you need an unlock it's not available for 3.0 yet.
 
HI all!

I have been trying to download RedSn0W but the torrent just sits there. Just wondering if you guys had any problems?
I understand it is probably getting hammered but you guys downloaded it so just double checking!

Thanks !

I just installed redsn0w. But when I open Cydia and wait for it to load, I get this message "Unable to Load (timed out)."

and also whenever I go to "Manage", it crashes.

Can someone help me out?
 
I made a mistake and restored an updated thorugh itunes instead of using the custom 3.0 fw.

What should i do guys?
 
Dumb question...

How do I know if it UNLOCKED the phone? I have AT&T and don't have any other SIM card available to test. I bought a 3GS so I just want to sell it Unlocked on Craigslist for a bit more money.

Dumb question...

The following is from the Dev-Team website:
To use redsn0w simply upgrade the device in iTunes to firmware version 3.0 and run redsn0w to activate and jailbreak the device (and if you are using an original iPhone 2G, it will unlock it too!)

This is what I did. My data is being restored so I have not done the JB. Hope this works!
 
According to the Dev-Team website, the unlock is not out yet. Only the Jailbreak. Go here and read everything:

That's why I'm confused. Under normal Unlocked methods how would I know its Unlocked?

You wouldn't know unless you had another sim card. If you read on the Dev Team website they said an iphone 3GS jailbreak and unlock wont be out for a while.

I am trying to unlock the original, 8GB iPhone. I am keeping my 3PS :D
 
so is the youtube issue a universal issue?

I am not sure why you are quoting me and asking about Youtube. My response was for GizmoDVD and Unlock. Nothing to do with Youtube. Just to be clear, I have not run redsn0w yet. My device is still restoring data.
