In this iPhone guide you will learn how to jailbreak iPhone 3GS, 3G running OS 3.2.1 using PwnageTool 3.1.4 on Mac OS X. This guide is for Mac users only because PwnageTool is available for Mac only and there’s no Windows version out there.

This Guide is for both iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G. All steps for both models are same. The only difference is that for 3GS you need IPSW file for 3GS and in case of 3G you need IPSW for 3G to create Custom IPSW from it. Both files are linked in the guide.

IMPORTANT

If you’re still on OS 3.0 or updated to OS 3.1 using PwnageTool which means you’ve preserved you Baseband which means, along with jailbreak, you can Unlock your iPhone using UltraSn0w. On the other hand;

If you bought an iPhone with 3.1.x preinstalled or you have updated your iPhone to OS 3.1.2, you will be able to Jailbreak your iPhone only.

Jailbreak iPhone 3GS, 3G 3.1.2

Update your iTunes to latest version and Backup your iPhone.

Create a folder on your desktop and name it: Pwnage. Then download the following files and put them into Pwnage folder:

• for 3GS: iPhone2,1_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw
  or
• for 3G: iPhone1,2_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw

(Download through Firefox because Safari often auto extracts ipsw file) The iPhone OS 3.1.2 file is also available in All iPhone Firmwares post.

Jailbreak iPhone 3GS OS 3.1

The Bootneuter settings are greyed out for the iPhone 3GS and 3G. Click the blue arrow button.

Step 11
You will be asked to turn OFF the device. Make sure it is connected to the USB port.

NOTE: If you’re already jailbroken (by whatever means), you don’t need to mess around with DFU mode at all.  Just create (or get from a friend) your custom IPSW and Option-Restore (Shift-Restore on Windows) to it via iTunes.  Don’t enter DFU mode at all.  Please make sure you are restoring to the custom IPSW, not the stock one from Apple!  For best results, use the latest iTunes (9.0.1) — which includes a nice new application organizer.

If it’s the first time you’re jailbreaking your iPhone, Be ready to follow directions now to get into DFU Mode.

• You will be asked to hold the home button and the power button for 10 seconds.

If you failed to follow the instruction, it will show you a message asking if you want to retry?. Click Yes.
