Well folks, that didn't take long at all. We now have the ability to jailbreak and unlock the iPhone on the new OS 3.1.3 only days after it's release. We have two options for different basebands, 04.26.08 and 05.11.07.

Sn0wbreeze 3.1.3 can jailbreak iPhone 2G, 3G and iPhone 3GS (old bootrom only) on iPhone OS 3.1.3. (Guide to follow.) It also jailbreaks the iPod Touch 1G and iPod Touch 2G (model number not starting with MC). Baseband 04.26.08 can be unlocked using Ultrasn0w. If your baseband is 05.11.07, GeoHot's blacksn0w will work just the same as it did before. (That was released last year :p)

For those of you that have never used any of these programs, please head over to our guides section. Note: We have NOT tested this method. Be smart. Don't do this unless you absolutely have to, or if you want to test and inform others of your success/failure stores :p Again, THIS IS FOR OLD BOOTROMS OF THE 3GS. If you have jailbroken 3.1.2 previously and the jailbreak was untethered you have the old bootrom. If you have a newer 3GS, just stay away.

Cash EDIT/

A couple notes. iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 2G users check your model number Settings -> General -> About. If it starts with MC don't try any 3.1.3 jailbreak.

Next, for those of you that do not know, sn0wbreeze is a custom .ipsw creator for Windows much like the dev team's pwnagetool is for Mac. There are things you need to be aware of because of this. First of all grab the correct firmware for your device. Making a custom .ipsw for the wrong device will do you no good. Second the custom 3.1.3 firmware you create with sn0wbreeze is restored to your device via iTunes. Do not use DFU mode, normal recovery mode should be sufficient. Last and most important YOU CAN NOT restore the custom .ipsw that sn0wbreeze makes on to your device unless you device is ALREADY jailbroken. If you aren't jailbroken then jailbreak your current firmware (under 3.1.3) using the software of your choice (redsn0w, balckra1n, pwnagetool, wtvr), then create the custom 3.1.3 .ipsw with sn0wbird, then restore it on to your device using normal recovery mode and iTunes.

After you have restored your custom 3.1.3 firmware on to your device you can unlock. iPhone 2G users search for bootneuter in cydia. Users with baseband 04.26.08 search for ultrasn0w in cydia. Baseband 05.11.07 users add the repo blackra1n.com to Cydia and search for blacksn0w.

I have not tried this jailbreak yet so try at your own risk. We'll get a guide up asap assuming everything is working fine (read in 6 hrs when I wake up).

I was able to download everything and create the custom ipsw. Just havent tried to restore yet on my 3Gs. Anyone else tried it yet?
 
Has iH8sn0w removed the Apple code from Snowbreeze? If not, nobody should use or support this software, as it endangers the future of all jailbreaks.

I'm gonna wait for Dev Team....I just trust them more than anyone else.

Musslenerd and Geohot both said 3.1.3 is a very minor update any way. Geohot said he not bothering with it and I don't think the Dev team is either.

And I don't blame them...nor am I waiting for it either. The point of my post is that I trust the Dev Team fully as I don't know who snowbreeze is.

What does this mean? I have been kinda out of the jailbreaking loop since 3.0.1 on my 3g that is unlocked. I was not able to install some apps because it needed 3.1+ and figured it was time to upgrade. Looks like some things have changed and i need to do some homework before I touch anything ;)

iH8sn0w, who made this new tool Snowbreeze did two very bad things when he made it:

1) He included copyrighted Apple code in the program, making it an illegal to distribute. Patching code that is legally obtained is not illegal, but including copyrighted code in an application most definitely is. Snowbreeze was therefore the first ever illegal jailbreak, and gives Apple real ammunition in the jailbreak=piracy argument.

2) He used GPL-licensed code created by the Dev-Team (most of his app is based on Dev-Team code) without crediting the Dev-Team and, more importantly, without following through on his obligation to release the source code of his application and to license his GPL-code-derived application under the GPL.

So not only has iH8sn0w endangered all our jailbreaks by creating a truly illegal jailbreak app, he has also violated the foundational principles of free software by stealing GPL code and incorporating it into proprietary closed-source software.

Hmm that does not sound good. I think I'm going to wait until this illegal bit is cleared up before I download and use this software. Is this trackable by Apple in anyway?

I know the Apple code was included when the beta's were released, but I thought I read where he has since removed the Apple code.

In either case, I just don't trust his tools enough to dare trying them as I have a 3Gs and it seems the tools are screwing up the 3GS models.

After reading some blogs I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole. Besides, MuscleNerd has already said that PT 3.1.3 is nearly ready. Now, this probably won't jailbreak a new 3GS already on 3.1.3...but it will work if you have the old bootrom, and it will allow a smooth upgrade for those already jailbroken. I don't know why anyone wouldn't wait.

MuscleNerd

At the risk of sounding "mean", everyone please stay away from sn0wbreeze until they've fixed it, or wait for PT, or just ignore 3.1.3.

@geohot Since 3.1.3 offers no new features, I think of it more as a way to get people used to downgrading to 3.1.2 via http://is.gd/7IRnj

and last from Geohot!

geohot

I hear rumors going around that the 3.1.3 jailbreak is hard. It isn't. But the only people it helps are those dumb enough to upgrade. Sorry.
 
honestly

I think both Gorge and the Dev-team would like a little breathing room. I think they are also pointing out this is a very minor update. people always expect a new Jailbreak for every version and expect it now! :rolleyes: then everybody complains and blames the jailbreak for every problem. yet can't even search to find a tutorial how to jailbreak it. yet they know enough about it to know what caused it!

Did you mean the version of Pwnage Tool to JB 3.1.3 ?

I believe at one time PT 3.1.3 was an iPod tool.
 
I'm leary about this.. i need to take my phone to the apple store for an issue, but i would assume they would auto update my phone to the new software... which would leave me JB-less until the next update.
