The latest iPhone OS 3.1.3 firmware updates the Baseband of your iPhone 3GS and 3G hence making it impossible to unlock these device using BlackSn0w installed via BlackRa1n. Fortunately iPhone 2G users are on the safe side in case of unlock because iPhone 2G Baseband remain intact while updating to iPhone firmware 3.1.3 (provided that you have jailbroken it previously at least once).
MuscleNerd of the legendary Dev-team has confirmed that using RedSn0w 0.9.3 you can jailbreak iPhone OS 3.1.3 on the following devices:
- jailbreak iPhone 3G 3.1.3 (but cannot unlock)
- jailbreak iPhone 2G 3.1.3 (can unlock as well)
- jailbreak iPod Touch 2G (non-MC model only)
- jailbreak iPod Touch 1G
iPod touch users please navigate to:
IMPORTANT
***Don’t go near this if you have 3GS, newer iPod Touch 2G, or any iPod Touch 3G
***if you depend on unlocking the iPhone, avoid this guide. The new Firmware 3.1.3 updates the Baseband to 05.12.01.
***So this guide is for iPhone 2G and those iPhone 3G users who do NOT care about unlocking.
***Read the guide first then try it at your own
Now that you’ve read the important part above, follow the simple step by step guide below to jailbreak iPhone 2G 3.1.3 firmware, jailbreak iPhone 3G 3.1.3 firmware (Don’t do it for iPhone 3G if you need an unlock though (really, don’t!)).
Jailbreak iPhone 3.1.3 Firmware
Step 1
- Download iTunes 9.0.3 and install it.
- Download RedSn0w 0.9.3 (Windows): Mirror 1 | Mirror 2
- Download RedSn0w 0.9.3 (Mac): Mirror 1 | Mirror 2
- Download Firmware 3.1.3 for your device
- Download Firmware 3.1.2 for your device (Yes, OS 3.1.2 aswell)
- Download Bootloaders (for iPhone 2G unlock ONLY)
Extracted the RedSn0w & Bootloaders archive and put the them and firmware IPSW files (iPhone firmware 3.1.3 and iPhone firmware 3.1.2) into a folder on your desktop.
Step 2
Open the iTunes, select your device from the left navigation pane.
Hold down the SHIFT key on Windows or ALT key on Mac and hit the Restore button in iTunes. Navigate to the downloaded firmware 3.1.3 for your device and select the firmware file (.ipsw) and hit Open.
iTunes will start restoring your iPhone firmware to iPhone OS 3.1.3.
Step 3
Once your iPhone is updates to OS 3.1.3, run the downloaded RedSn0w file.
Step 4
Hit the Browse button and provide it the downloaded firmware 3.1.2 file NOT 3.1.3 because RedSn0w 0.9.3 will not recognize iPhone OS 3.1.3.
Step 5
RedSn0w will verify your firmware file. Once done, hit the Next button.
Step 6 (for iPhone 2G users ONLY. Others please skip to Step 7)
To unlock iPhone 2G, select Install Cydia and Unlock options and provide the bootloader files.
If you just want to jailbreak iPhone 2G 3.1.3 then choose Install Cydia and hit next.
Step 7
On the next screen, check mark your desired options. For the purpose of this guide just choose Install Cydia and hit next. Select custom logos if you want them too. Hit Next.
Step 8
Read the on screen instructions to put your iPhone into DFU Mode.
Once you’ve entered into DFU Mode, RedSn0w will do its work and on successful completion, your iPhone will reboot.
You have successfully jailbreak iPhone 2G 3.1.3 and iPhone 3G 3.1.3.
We strongly recommend iPhone 3GS and 3G user to stay away from iPhone OS 3.1.3 until unless iPhone Dev Team or GeoHotz come up with updated jailbreak and unlock tool. However, you can always jailbreak iPhone OS 3.1.2 using Custom Firmware, RedSn0w, PwnageTool, Sn0wBreeze, BlackRa1n and unlock iPhone OS 3.1.2 using UltraSn0w and BlackSn0w.

is this jailbreak just for iphone 3g, 2g or it is for 3gs, too. because i have iphone 3gs and i will be sure for iphone update plZ halp me.
did you read the IMPORTANT section at the top?
i know i’m sorry,
how i can find out my iphone has a new boot or the old one
go to ipod touch about and see is MB or MC
do you guys try for 3gs jailbreak
im confused on the STEP 4. how come it says using redsn0w 0.9.3? how come need 2 FW? but aint redsn0w 0.9.4 supposed to works well with FW3.1.3? help here :O
should i be using 0.9.3 or 0.9.4 for FW3.1.3?
yes, that indeed is confusing… at the beginning it says to download redsnow 0.9.4, and in step 4 its back to 0.9.3…
also, when can we expect CFWs for 3.1.3? I’d really prefer that method….
0.9.3 works for iPhone 2G and 3G.. 0.9.4 also jailbreaks iTouches (1G and older 2G)
sorry for the confusion.. correcting to 0.9.4
thanks for the correction mate. any chances of seeing a custom firmware sometime soon?
as soon as the PwnageTool comes out.. so stay tuned
I was going through the comments on dev team’s blog and I noticed that redsn0w 0.9.4 is for Itouches only… and now I notice that you too have changed your guide to redsn0w 0.9.2…
is there something i’m missing? or am I supposed to use redsn0w 0.9.2?
yeah .. you got it right..
0.9.4 should work for all devices but to be on safe side I have updated all guides as per info from official source ..
is this tethering jailbreak or normal jailbreak
and we are not covering any tethered jailbreak device here .. please read the guide before you comment
i know that there’s a redsn0w 0.9 for 3.1.2 but is there an ultras0w for baseband 5.11.07? updating to 3.1.2 will upgrade the baseband. if i jailbreak using redsn0w 0.9, can i use blacksn0w to unlock 5.11.07?
no… UltrasSn0w supports older Baseband only..
for 05.11.07 you can use BlackSn0w
guys, really new to this whole thing and wondering…if not planning on unlocking my phone just jailbreak, are there any issues with the OS 3.1.3 that I should be concerned with? already had it when I started reading up on this :(.
thx for info
OS 3.1.2 is still the recommended version to stay with..
don’t go for 3.1.3 unless 3.1.2 crashes for you
ok thx

i have redsnow 9.4 but when i choose the firmware 3.1.3 (( ipsw file )) the program said : ” unable to recognize specified ipsw ”

re-read the Step 4… You’re directed to supply 3.1.2 NOT 3.1.3
thx for answer
it means that if i choose firmware 3.1.2 i can jailebreak firmware 3.1.3 ???
or i just can jailbreak frmware 3.1.3 ?
step 4 just trick the RedSn0w into thinking that we are jailbreaking 3.1.2 not 3.1.3. and it will gladly accept 3.1.2. but actually it will jailbreak 3.1.3 🙂
u-huh thx bodjust iphoneheat.com 😀

sometimes changing the USB port or trying on another PC helps..
or simply use the custom firmware posted under iPhone Firmwares category
okay thanx and where to find the custom firmwares
iPhone Firmwares category
When it says “waiting to reboot” and your iPod is black. Don’t disconnect the iPod.
Hold both power & home button until you see Apple logo, wait 2 seconds, then let go of power button and hold the home button. It should continue the process.
OMG! You are the man!!!! Do you know how long I was trying to figure this out? It finally installed properly.
Thanks.

open ssh >> SSH into iPhone
proswitcher >>> Multitasking

Dear all Hacker,
Have someone help me to jailbreak my iPhone 3Gs 3.1.3 05.12.01
and i has download so many tools to customize ipsw and i have connected with iTunes it still error 16xxx. so what should i do now to install Cydia on this iphone.
thanks,
Rith
Okay, so I’ve tried to jailbreak my 3GS (currently running 3.1.3) with Redsn0w using the 3.1.2 ipsw. It works for the first half on the computer, and then my screen goes blank after I set it to restore mode. Once it resets I have the same phone I had before, but with no Cydia. I’ve tried this at least 5 different times, and it’s totally not working. Is this something that can be fixed using a different system or am I out of luck? I have no need to unlock it, and I’m positive that I’m using the “Not Activated” IPSW.
Any suggestions?
use f0recast to know your device and the jailbreak tool
Alright, thanks. I did that and it said it’s possible only if I save an shsh file. I’m guessing that’s on Cydia?
If I can just do it on a Mac, I can use quickPwn with no problems, right?
You rocks dude. finally i can JB my iphone 3g, firmware 3.1.3, baseband: 5.12.01, bl: 5.09.

HEY IH,
Just wanted to ask you that can I Jailbreak 3GS 3.1.3 BB 5.12. I dont need to UNLOCK, as it is Factory Unlocked.
I have checked it with f0recast and it says SSH in jailbreak label.
So can you tell we whether or not the phone can be jailbroken and if, HOW??? Thanx.
If you saved SHSH on file via Cydia then u can downgrade to 3.1.2 hence jailbreak it.. otherwise without SHSH you won’t be able to jailbreak 3GS @ 3.1.3
Thanx IH…
but i did not save those SHSH files earlier… i.e. before restoring to 3.1.3,
but can I do it now…
Thanx…

hi, i just jailbroke my ipod touch and im not sure if i should start a new ipod or restore from the back up without getting rid of the jailbreaking
you won’t loose jailbreak.. choose either
I have an iPhone 2g trying to jailbreak it on 3.1.3
Im currently using redsnow 0.9.4 to jailbreak. I know im using the correct ipsw which is iphone1, 2 3.1.2 7D11 and its recognising. But the instructions say to selet ‘Install Cydia’ and ‘Unlock’ however there is no ‘unlock’ to select? Ive used ‘pwned’ (with and without) to continue but I cant seem to get my iPhone to reboot.
Its supposed to do it automatically? It always gets stuck on ‘waiting for reboot’ for 30min and more.Nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong? Does it usually take so long? Ive tried the holding power and home to speed it up but then it just switches on and goes the cable connect to itunes picture.
PLEASE HELP!
perform a simple restore (OS 3.1.3) and then retry 🙂
Great, so I’ve restored the iPhone. But when it connect to iTunes it says:
This SIM card in the iPhone does not appear to be supported, only comapatible SIM cards from a supported carrier can be used to activate the iPhone”
What should my next step be now? I still tried jailbreaking using redsnow but nothing has changed, still no ‘unlock’ tick box and stuck on ‘waiting for reboot’….
? have same problem, it goes on , waiting for reboot, but it recoginses my sim card ant network i can check the balance of my phone and also receive SMS but the status says only Emegerncy

Wat the problem in 2g

By factory unlocked, do you mean jailbroken too? And if you mean ipa apps, make sure to download appsync 3.1 to patch mobileinstallation through Cydia and then you will be able to install ipa apps through iTunes.
