Trying to Jailbreak, Help Please!

[flcruzr]

Hello Everyone! I am trying to start the steps toward jailbreaking my Iphone 1G. I have found sites that say to use redsnow, which I have downloaded onto my desktop. I also downloaded the 3.0 7A341 firmware but this is where my problem halts. I'm unable to get the cube looking Icon in order to begin the jailbreak process. I have the zip folder show up so I double click and the folder shows up but no cube? All the you tube tutorials show this cube and I cant get it! Any advise please? What should I do? Thanks!

What cube are you talking about? You download Redsn0w, point it to the IPSW file, and it does all the rest of the work for you.

Well the Ipsw icon is a cube are you talking about that? If you downloaded the ipsw through safari then it will automatically treat the ipsw file as a zip file. If that's the case change the extension .zip to .ipsw

That's probably it...damn browsers all treat the IPSW file differently. I know on a pc Firefox handles it fine, others don't.

your problem sounds suspiciously like the problem that someone else is writing about. Is it possible that redsnow put a faulty file on their servers?
