My iPhone 3G was never success on JailbreakMe 2.0 After step #3, it doesn’t show any downloading. Please help.
because the server is overloaded ATM.. keep trying
I accidentally hit the cancel when the process started and now I can’t get it to reinstall. I got a msg saying it crashed please try again but when I do, all I get is the pulp screen. I tried to restore and it still don’t work.
Im stuck on the purple screen, ive tried rebooting several times and then tried to jailbreak again.
What can i do?
Server Overload
Im on purple screen yet… restarted the procedure several times. MAybe the server is overloaded. I dont know.
Please try http://jailbreakme.modmyi.com. Just solved stuck on purple screen. It worked great for me. Thx

so do i,,,i have no official sim card or phonebookcard now what can i do??
i’m in indonesia,,please help me!!
it’s not working with me ??
why
pls i need the jailbreak
my iphone is 3gs old bootroom not open
Jailbroke an iphone 4 on 4.0.1 with the new method, after resetting all data and settings via the control panel the phone would not boot anymore, have to do a resotre in itunes via DFU mode 🙁
It happened to me too, exactly the same thing. Now I’m afraid to do it again. Will they make it work soon?????
work perfect just please give us unlock .thanks very much guys good work
ps just one thing my screan dont show that cydia is instaled but i have cydia and working good
I’ve a 3GS 3.1.2 jailbroken and unlocked with BlachRa1n. May I update to 4.0.1 via iTunes and then use wi-fi to jailbrake and then unlock? After itunes update to 4.0.1 my phone wi-fi will work?(no need for activation?)
Did you read the NOTE?
Yes, I saw the note, but my doubt is if I update firmware using iTunes in my 3GS I’ll need to activate it again, and if wi-fi also will work to use jailbreakme. Just this… 🙂
can u updated 4.0.1 and jailbreak your 3GS??
i have 3GS 3.13 and i want to update 4.0.1 firmware,,,
please tell me,,,thanks
YAY !!! it worked on my 3gs 4.08A293 05.13.04 MC model
Ive been dying waiting for this !!
Thank you so much !!!
I can not download the file no working please
Oops it looks like the installer crashed last time you tried to jailbreak it might work if you try again,,,,,,
The jailbreak was easy and quick, very nice job guys. Ive got some issues with it though. i have a 3Gs on 4.0.1, anything i download from cydia doesn’t work, it either messes up my springboard, or seemingly has no effect. for instance, five icon dock, five rows, shrink, ect ect and the biggest problem i have is when i try to download winterboard. are these issues just because the programs have not been updated to run on 4.0.1 yet?
my 3gs running 4.0.1 also had a bit trouble after the jb, i deleted some apps including winterboard, five rows/dock etc. terminal seems not to be working too. but i have shrink and it works perfectly
yeah, i think the apps just need to be updated to run on 4.0, i see some apps give warning that they dont run on it yet
Just have one question pls is it compulsory to restore to the Official firmware if you already on the official firmware 4.0 iPhone 4
Nope
Im getting a bad gatewat error when i load cydia? is this just the server being overload?
Thanks guys it worked great, I appreciate it
Guys this works like a charm! Its so seamless even a 5 yr old kid can follow the steps. Great stuff!!!
Just tried this on newly bought 3Gs with already installed IOs4, with new bootrom (359.3.2), WITHOUT SHSH blobs on file and it worked like a charm. Untethered jailbreak 😀
If you just bought your 3gs, have a new bootrom and upgraded to IOs4 without keeping shsh blobs on file then this will work perfectly for you.
Comex, you are a god mate :D:D:D:D:D thank u thank u thank u
all I can say this is super solution
thankz alot dude. salamat
that is great news now if verizon would get of their ass and get the iphone under contract that would be the greatest news since sliced bread. come on verizon move your ass
guysi had the jailbreak on my iphone4 with the 4.0 then i decidedto update to 4.0.1 my cydia gone so i have been trying since yesterday night to reload jailbreak but it starts to download the first part then goes back to iphone home no cythia any ideas as why for so long i cant get it on my phone? please help kind of worried now because i need to unlock it when its available.
Thanks
i had the same problem…restore 4.0 instead of 4.1
jailbreak is ok
very good jaibreaking thanks,thanks,thanks…….
very good for 3gs neww boot rom thanks devolepers
I tried using the jailbreakme website and it doesn’t work for me. I have the iPhone 4 with software updated to 4.0.1 and even though it says it works for it, it doesn’t. It wont even let me slide the bar to jailbreak it. Anyone have solutions for that? I want to jailbreak it but looks like I may have to wait until they update it to jailbreak anything above a 4.0 software. I don’t think it works for software 4.0.1 at all so don’t update if you want to jailbreak ur phone
@iphoneheat #iphoneheat mobileterminal is not compatible with iphone4 os4.0.1, i was suppose to change my root pass as soon as i jailbroke, i installed mobileterminal but unfortunately did not run. now my device is at risk with the default password. please give attention to this matter. hopefully it will be updated soon. thanks.

Mobileterminal in Cydia is not working with ios4. but you can still download an unstable but working release here
http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/downloads/list
then you can ssh it in your iphone at “/private/var/stash/Applications”. Make sure Terminal.app folder as well as every contained file and subfolder have {GROUP}admin:{OWNER}root and permissions [755]
I used that release to change my root pass
Just did the jailbreak on my 3Gs and springboard keeps crashing!!! Everything I do causes apps to crash… if i go into search screen the whole phone crashes… HELP!!! PLS

@iphoneheat
I’m using iPhone 3G i have updated to 4.0.1 & jailbreaked with “Jailbreakme” . I found that multi tasking is not enable….!
Can u say me how to enable it (or) any other tools to jailbreak to enable multi tasking…..?
Multitasking is not enabled by default on the 3G. You have to alter a plist file in your phone.
After you jailbreak your phone install OpenSSH an then SSH into your phone using your favorite program (i like winscp since i am on windows)
Then navigate to “/System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/” folder in your phone and find a file called “N82AP.plist” and copy it in your computer. open it with a plist editor of your choice. Then find “multitasking” (without quotes) and then change the value below that to “” (again without quotes). If you can’t find that line then you can add it yourself. Then save the file and SSH it back into your phone overwriting the old one in the phone. Reboot your device and try clicking Home button twice and see what happens
There is a nice tutorial here with pictures to explain how it is done:
http://www.funkyspacemonkey.com/enable-multitasking-iphone-3g-running-iphone-os-40
After I selected Download, it said “Downloading…This might take a while”
The bar finished downloading and now it seems to be frozen. Any hints or suggestions as to what to do next?
Very good i have done jail breaking with “jailbreak me” after that i have syn some cracked files but its not installing….? what i have to do ? can u guide me? wat things i have to do ?
It Really Work Thanx
Finally!
Jailbrake 3gs 4.0 with new bootroom.
Thanks to all.
Somebody knows where the hell is the “make my life easier” button in Cydia? Just jailbroke my iphone following this guide. Then entered Cydia, as “Expert/Hacker” but I didn’t see any button or option with the “make my life easier”. This is damn important to backup your SHSH and to be able in the future to restore to 4.0.1 in case something goes wrong… thanks for sharing a solution for this.
this one is very clear and easy to use, i had i find out myself but it had been easy with this tutorial, nice job
very easy jailbreak. im using an ipod touch 3rd gen 32GB and it works well. thanks very much.. keep up the good work..
