Cool, I hope the iOS 4.0 Jailbreak is only days away from being released. I got a new iPhone 3GS on 4.0 and wanna JB!!!!

Thanx

ppuniversal July 16, 2010, 1:22 am

i think you can still JB 3GS… just look around this website.

Whiplash July 16, 2010, 1:54 am

thanx, but it ca only been done if it was JB before and u saved some file.

Sadly it cant be done yet

Dhruv July 16, 2010, 11:42 am

i m watoing for 2 months when they releaseed 3gs jailbrake tools???????

danny May 19, 2013, 12:40 am

Click “Restore.” ITunes downloads the latest software (if a copy is not stored on your computer), erases the iPhone 3GS, reformats it and reinstalls the iOS software. When the reinstall completes, you have the option of restoring the device from a selected back-up file or setting up the device as a new phone.

4.0.1 is even wors than 4.0 on my 3GS

Brandon July 16, 2010, 1:57 am

Are you retarded? If you would’ve read. It’s for the iPhone 4! Not 3GS. Yes it’ll work on 3GS… But it’s to fix reception on the new iPhone… Not 3GS…. Damn people are dumb.

Smitty July 16, 2010, 10:30 am

Nope, the new firmware is for all iphone. According to Jobs, all the iphones display incorrect signal strength. Weather you believe it’s true or not is up to you.

with regard to the following on top of this very page I do enjoy the tone of your post: “Apple has released the iOS 4.0.1 for iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G and iPod Touch 3G, 2G”. ROFL!

steve October 2, 2010, 10:52 am

I have a iPhone 3GS with the 4.1. Is there going to be a jailbreak for this and if so, when?

drewbocop October 17, 2010, 11:53 pm

I have this problem too. I have a friend who has a iPhone 3G with 4.1. I’ve tried every thing and can’t even roll back the firmware properly. I know what I’m doing as I’ve JB and rolled back my new iPod Touch 3. Is it even possible to hack this iPhone set up?

mike S July 16, 2010, 3:16 am

Yup, waiting for a jailbreak for the 3gs with iOS4 as well…

erikve88 July 16, 2010, 7:38 am

can i unlock the 4.0.1 os yet or not and how about the os4

vodanhz July 19, 2010, 11:32 am

i think so.

MuscleNerd

Obviously avoid today’s 4.0.1 update until JB tools are updated. Luckily, no baseband change so ultrasn0w lives on 🙂 5:48 AM Jul 16th via web

“iOS 4.0.1 is released to fix the reception issue”

You can’t fix a hardware fail with software. You can check in detail the proof of the obvious at
http://www.anandtech.com/show/3821/iphone-4-redux-analyzing-apples-ios-41-signal-fix

Smitty July 16, 2010, 7:51 pm

I agree, it’s hardware problem and can’t be fixed on iPhone4. Just don’t hold your phone in a normal way or use duct tape like Consumer Reports recommends.

congchuaso1 July 21, 2010, 7:19 am

just want to jail break iphone

Smitty July 23, 2010, 12:55 am

Anyone else experiencing issues with Ios4?
Upgraded my 3GS to 4.0 a few weeks ago and occasionally the phone suddenly restarts and goes to apple logo for a long time, then finally homescreen appears.
Also phone has called people on it’s own. Never had that happen before in the last 4 years owning iPhone.
Wifi icon dosent always show when connected to wifi.
The phone uses much more memory and can be slow at times.

tarekelmalah July 24, 2010, 7:24 pm

i have 3gs ios4 and ive never had any problems with it since the day it came out and im the wifi all day long !
u should try to restore ur iphone that should do the treat im guessing it did not install completely or correctly on ur iphone !

Smitty July 27, 2010, 12:24 pm

Good to know it’s not IOS4. Love it except an occasioal glitch. Think you’re right that something went wrong on install, gonna reinstall. Thanks

Ipad Touch August 3, 2010, 2:55 pm

what is with my ipod touch isnt there an update ??
only for iphone ???

Smitty August 4, 2010, 2:59 am

What iPod model, and what firmware?
Check this chart, you will find your answer at jailbreakmatrix.com

wayne October 1, 2010, 10:57 pm

how about ipod touch 3g?

FLat August 3, 2010, 6:46 pm

I downloaded IOS 4.0.1 firmware from this site – how do I use this to upgrade my phone?
My phone is currently running on 3.1.3 with spirit jailbreak.
I saved shsh with Tiny Umbrella – it shows as 4.0.1.shsh – is that correct? I thought it would show as 3.1.3

Smitty August 4, 2010, 12:59 am

There is no need to download this firmware. Upgrade to 4.0.1 from iTunes, then use jailbreakme.com or jailbreakme.modmyi.com to jailbreak from your iPhone. Then unlock with ultratrasn0w from cydia. Good luck.

FLat August 4, 2010, 1:55 am

Thanks for the reply Smitty. I already downloaded the ios 4. Do I have to download it through iTunes again or is there another way to install the already downloaded ios. I’m a little short on bandwidth and would prefer not downloading it again if at all possible.

Smitty August 4, 2010, 2:51 am

I had some major issues with the iOS4 downloaded from above so can’t recommend using it. It’s always best to use the latest firmware, there are some bugs that were fixed. I think it would be worth the time to download the new 4.0.1 direct from iTunes, then jailbreakme.modmyi.com from iPhone browser.

FLat August 4, 2010, 6:59 am

Thanks again Smitty, I’ll follow your recommendation

speed_manan August 5, 2010, 12:48 am

hello smitty
dear i upgraded my iphone 3gs as told by you,i used itunes to upgrade it to 4.0.1 from 3.1.3. Now i’m stuck at Emergency Call Screen! (I’m not blaming you 🙂 ) i have a new bootrom 3Gs and i don’t have official carrier sim with me and i’m completely unaware about my official carrier! how can i by-pass it now? this happen when we upgrade the iphone using itunes..i have one more 3GS with me,same type,new bootrom etc but its on 3.1.3..can i upgrade it with some custom firmware so i don’t have to activate it afterwards,is it possible?

kind regards

Smitty August 5, 2010, 7:53 am

I’m sorry for your situation. Try this method using phonebook sim to hacktivate the phone. Hope it helps.

speed_manan August 8, 2010, 1:50 am

well i did it like that. But now what i’m facing is even more strange, i don’t know why its doing like this now. I activated my phone using the PHONEBOOK sims,it got activated. Then,when i inserted my sim in it and unlocked it…a screen of emergency call is back saying A Different sim is detective,connect to itunes. And Itunes is again saying to insert official carrier sim. Again whole process again,but still when i insert my sim it goes back to activation.

i hope you have some solution for this too.

Kind Regards

Raven August 7, 2010, 5:22 am

hi speed,

you can activate your iphone using phonebook sim cards like Onesim. this video might help:

Hacktivation app is now available in cydia. Try this link: http://www.applei.ph/one/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,49/func,view/catid,54/id,1073797507/
It worked for me 🙂

garlicb1 August 10, 2010, 3:34 am

I used jailbreak 2.0 on Saturday and it worked fine on my 3gs 4.0.1. I came to work to help a coworker do the same and after we enter the jailbreakme.com url in safari and slide to jailbreak it just times out. Is this a problem with the load on the jailbreakme.com server or is there a problem with my coworker’s iPhone?

Thanks in advance.

garlicb1 August 10, 2010, 8:21 pm

It must have been the server because he went home and tried it later in the evening and everything worked fine.

Thanks for all the hard work.

SteveT August 13, 2010, 7:49 pm

Just a quick question, a work mate has updated to 4.0.2 and wants to drop back down to 4.0.1. He has downloaded the 4.0.1 firmware and done the whole shift+click restore but iTunes tells him he firmware is not compatible.

I am assuming it’s too late for him to jump back down to 4.0.1? Is this because Apple is no longer signing 4.0.1?

Neil October 10, 2010, 5:52 am

steve t did your work mate save the SHSH file in tu, if it was save you should be able to downgrade back to 4.0.1

Larshara August 16, 2010, 5:09 am

Hi,
I’m pretty poor at anything technical and I’m trying to downgrade from the 4.0.2 to 4.0.1, but the 4.0.1 I have downloadedting to be restored in iTunes. What am I doing wrong?

iPhoneHeat August 16, 2010, 11:21 pm
Larshara August 17, 2010, 2:53 am

I have done all of this. But when I try to restore to 4.0.1 download, iTunes is not able to open it.

Neil October 10, 2010, 6:14 am

Larshara, d/l the 4.0.1 firmware for your drvice from flexiburn (goggle it) if its an zip file you must rename with the extendion .ipsw and save it in your desktop, connect your device, open tinyumbrella (google it) it will open if u have Java envir. loaded if itune opens close it, see if tu sees your device, click on options and select verison for your device, click Start TSS, and then open itune and enter “DFU” mode by hold down power button and home key together, up to 10 seconds or more, when the apple icon pops up let go the power button but keep pressing the home key until itune indicates u need to restore. let go the home key… hold down shift key on ur computer and click on restore. new screen pop up slect the 4.0.1 firmware u’ve d/l if all goes well it should downgrade to 4.0.1 good luck.

Neil October 10, 2010, 6:24 am

forgot to ask u did u save ur SHSH always save ur SHSH for each firmware u use, this way u can always go back should something goes bad.

saad823 August 19, 2010, 2:50 am

Simply rename the file from .zip to .ipsw

speed_manan August 26, 2010, 2:22 am

now that something really weird! there’s a zip folder having 3 dmg files in it. I’m looking for one IPSW file of 4.0.1,anyone know from where i can get it? or someone help me with these 3 DMG files,how to restore with these files! regards

ter2001 August 26, 2010, 5:05 pm

I’m having the same problem. I’ve downloaded the firmware file but only see .dmg files. I tried to rename the name zip file to a .ipsw but there is nothing in those files when I go to redsn0w

Smitty August 28, 2010, 9:55 pm

Iman August 20, 2010, 8:59 pm

I upgrad my iPhone 3GS to the 4.0.2 where can I get the jailbreak . Help me

Smitty September 1, 2010, 8:06 am

The method I linked to may be fake, people are not having success with it, don’t waste your time. Not possible to downgrade without shsh saved.

Neil October 10, 2010, 9:24 am

opps, sorry to hear that… first u may have lost the unlock, second there is no j/b for 3GS 4.0.2 as of yet! what u can try is downgrade to 4.0.1,4.0 or 3.1.3 using tinyumbrella, did u save your SHSH before? if u did then shouldn’t be a problem to go back! d/l all 3 firmwares and save then to your desktop any firmware that is in zip format must be rename to .ipsw otherwise apple will not recon. d/l tinyumbrella if u don’t have it, make sure u have java envir. loaded on computer. open tu, connect ur device (makesure the files u’ve d/l is for your device). if itune opens up, close it!! see if tu see your device,click “save SHSH” if its sucessful click option select one of the three files u d/l then click Start TSS open itune and put the device in DFU mode by pressing both the power and home key together wait until apple icon shows up then release the power button but keep pressing the home key until itune say restore release home key!! hold down shift and click restore together, new screen opens up locate the file that matches the file u selected in option of tu if all goes well here u r on ur way back. if this file don’t work u need to repeat the steps with the other files hopefuly one of those files will work for u. if none of the files works then just kick out with tu and let the device reboot it self and ur back to the begining. good luck
