iPhone 3Gs users with old bootrom can jailbreak iOS 4 firmware using Sn0wBreeze 1.6.2 and PwnageTool 4. But both tools also required you iPhone 3GS to be already jailbroken but not with Spirit jailbreak in order to successfully restore custom firmware on iPhone 3GS (old bootrom).
But now Spirit jailbroken users can also restore custom firmware iOS 4 on iPhone 3GS (old bootrom) using Spirit2Pwn patch from Cydia.
UPDATE: *** Comex has released the All iDevices jailbreak. Check the Update at the bottom. ***
Spirit2Pwn adds support for iOS 4 custom firmware restore to the iPhone 3GS (old bootrom) that is already jailbroken with Spirit jailbreak. This Spirit2Pwn patch is for iPhone 3GS users jailbroken using Spirit on OS 3.1.3/3.1.2 with Old BootRom only.
WARNING: Please Note that it’s an unofficial release and Don’t Try This On New BootRom.

Is iphone 3gs (new bootrom) able to use this?
DONT TRY THIS ON NEW BOOTROM
Do we have to pay attention ’cause it is unofficial?

COME ON AND RELEASE A JAILBREAK FOR IPHONES 3GS THAT DONT NEED TO BE JAILBROKEN ALREADY.
I have a 3gs running 3.13 jailbroken with Spirit. I have no 3.12 backup. Will I be able to use the process described above to get to jailbroken ios4?
I am specifically asking this because of the requirement #1 stated above (“Assuming that you’ve already jailbroken iOS 4. Simply go to Cydia”)
So I’m assuming one for 3GS (new bootrom) should be coming soon? 🙂
We 3gs new bootrom on ios4 or 3.1.3 are stuck without a JB… Please do something
cheers, thomas
HI
at the instruction its says “Assuming that you’ve already jailbroken iOS 4. Simply go to Cydia.”
is that a mistake?? because if its already JB so why would i need this Spirit2Pwn ?
another thing:
iv installed this Spirit2Pwn via from terminal few days ago and it did the process on my phone and i got a “successes” at the end of this but its still didn’t worked.
iv still got the 1600 error and it was stuck in DFU for a while.
my phone is 3gs old boot , simfree . was updated before to 4 via itunes and downgraded to 3.1.3 and JB with spirit (because no other way is working)
thanks
that was a typo.. thx for pointing it out
@1600 error.. it’s related to custom firmware restore.. there are a few ways that helped other to get rid of it: http://www.iphoneheat.com/2010/02/fix-16xx-and-29-error-during-custom-firmware-restore/
This method has finally a solution that worked for me. Thanks to whoever made this possible. I finally on ios4 after few hours of research.
3GS 3.1.3 oldbootrom with only 3.1.3 SHSH saved.
Spirit JB
snowbreeze 1.6.2
Hi Fellas,
I made a huge mistake! I mad eit in my phone with new boot. Now I get black screen and nothing that I do is working to reverse it… Tried to downgrade to 3.1.3 …. Tried to restore to the original os with itunes.. etc… Didn’t worked at all. Does anyone know how to fix it? Thnx!!!
I think iH8Sn0w is releasing a tool to fix sleep mode tomorrow
What makes you say that iH8sn0w will be releasing a tool to fix this? I have a 3GS with old bootROM, or so f0recast told me. Now it’s a paperweight. I’d really like to find out where you heard that tool should be released.
Use Sn0wBreeze 1.7.. it fixes sleep mode
I’m not sure if “sleep mode” accurately describes what is going on. My phone is stuck in DFU mode, and I can’t seem to restore anything to it. Can you link to where you saw that Sn0wbreeze would fix this? I’ve been all over the net and this page is the only mention of “sleep mode” I can find.
i’ve tried using snowbreeze1.7 and it’s not working is there any way to get me out of the blacked out screen?
hold down the home and power buttons for 10 sec then let go the home button and keep holding the power
i’ve tried via snowbreeze 1.7 and holding down the power and home buttons.
any other methods?
help pls!
thanks!
Does this mean that iPhone 3gs 05.12 jailbroken with spirit can’t use this?
3GS >> Old BootRom >> Spirit = YES!
so i got my shsh 3.1.3 saved in my cydia..how do i upgrade it to os4 without upgrading my bootrom?was hoping that u can give me the full tutorial for the jailbreak.thx alot.
If you depend on unlock >> I won’t recommend you to go for iOS 4 coz custom firmware often brings 16xx error..
else you can try this:
http://www.iphoneheat.com/2010/07/download-sn0wbreeze-v1-6-2-fixes-youtube-ibook-issues-and-itunes-restore-errors/
Okay… So I guess it’s better for me to stay at 3.1.3.
Ive got 3GS 3.1.3 it was locked before jailbroken to spirit then later was unlocked by the carrier and told me to update it thru itunes and was updates to 4.1(8B117). Of course Cydia is gone, How can i bring it back by Jailbreaking it? Does it works with that instruction you are talking about?
wait for the greenpois0n jailbreak
yeh, if it’s been JB, why do we need this ?
That was a typo.. post already edited
🙂 my bad .
cheers
