4.1 Jailbreak for iPhone 3g & iPod Touch 2nd gen (Mac Users)



IMPORTANT: Please READ and Understand all iPhone 3g users DO NOT Update your iPhone 3g to new 4.1 firmware that is used in this Video if you rely on Ultrasn0w or Blacksn0w to Unlock. Reason being new 4.1 Firmware will make you loose your Unlock since it changes your baseband. And the current baseband 5.14.02 (belongs to 4.1 Firmware) is Unlockable at this time. So Please read all of the above again if something is not clear.

This Video is on Jailbreaking your iPhone 3g and iPod Touch 2nd…

  1. Hey, can someone help me? I have a 32GB iPod Touch 2G, Firmware 2.1.1, what should I download? I tried upgrading it to 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 but iTunes wont let me…

  2. hi
    i am currently on 3.0.1(iphone 3g). should i click on update and restore and let itunes download the firmware or should i press(Ctrl+click) on restore and select the custom firmware which i have downloaded?

  3. @jaslap My friend was jailbreaking his iPod yesterday, he was there for about 10 minutes trying to get the DFU mode going, i came into the room and done it first try, and he's a pretty smart guy just wasn't doing it right, it's a simple mistake. Sorry if you feel i insulted your intelligence.

  4. You are a hero! That Custom Firmware is an Iphone lifesaver! If you don't have a video for that, please make so other people can benefit from that! Thaks for that info!!!

  5. Thanks it worked perfectly, those of you who can't get it into DFU mode must be doing something wrong in your technique, its simple, hold power for 3 seconds, then whilst still holding the power hold the home button for 10 seconds, then release the power button but keep holding the home button.

  6. @arjunvai Jailbreaking just allows more freedom with software on the phone, if you want to use any sim card you will have to unlock the phone, last time i checked there were no unlocking methods for firmware 4.1, but i havn't checked in a while so you should google around for a bit and see what you can find.

  7. I have just bought the iphone 3G v 4.1 firmware -05.14.02. I bought this from the States and want to use it in India. Can I follow your instructions, jailbreak the damn thing, insert the Indian sim card and start using the phone? I have a windows machine, have downloaded redsn0w (windows version), Download iPhone 3g 4.1 Firmware file (firmware file from your link) Can I jailbreak?

  8. i did exactly what you said. I also installed cydia and updated ultrasnow. Everything else is working but my iphone can't find any network. It keeps on searching…please help.Many thanks.

  9. I would take ur advice before doing anything stupid..I have iPhone 3G 4.0.2 running …I have jailbroken my iPhone using ultrasn0w…should I upgrade to 4.1 using windows and jailbreak and unlock it and use any network services? Please reply soon…

  10. Im just going to ask before i do something stupid. Does this work with a Ipod 2nd Gen that allready have OS 4.1 ? Or do i have to have 4.0 or less ? Thanks for help

  11. oh my God. I stupidly wanted to restore it's previous version. it restored the whole thing. i lost my everything. it is not only the simcard which is locked but also all my data is lost now. Someone Please help!!!

  12. I mistakenly upgraded to 4.1 and now it is locked saying INVALID SIM.
    I had no idea that it would happen otherwise I would have never done it.
    so, since I did it already, is there any way to unlock it or downgrade it back to whatever you recommend. PLEASE HELP!!!

  13. BIG TROUBLE EMAC!!! I updated my iphone 3G to iOS 4.1 through itunes, I then followed all instructions throughout this video.

I tried uninstalling ultrasnow and putting in the SIM and it did the same thing!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!! I AM USING A T-MOBILE SIM

  15. emac you have a custom firmware with 4.1 and an unlockable baseband? what baseband is in your custom firmware? i have windows 7 and an iphone 3g, im inching to upgrade to 4.1 i like the multitasking and just the new os. 3.1.3 isnt so great now

  16. i had a problem with my iphone, i was puting music on it and my computer shut down for some weird reason, and what happened was that it messed up the signal thing, i couldnt get any signal, so i had to get it restored and when i did that it automaticaly updated to 4.1, and now its locked, what can i do

  17. @SuperGustav007 Redsn0w for Windows is still being tested. It might take some time. Before that gets released, "greenpois0n" will be out that will support Jailbreak on all devices.

  18. @picijoker1 If u are on 3.1.3 then use redsnow 0.9.5 to jailbreak your iPhone first. Once u have cydia on it then unlock by installing "Ultrasn0w" from cydia. That's all u have to do. Details are on my 3.1.3 jailbreak video. But as mentioned if you upgraded once to 4.1 then downgraded to 3.1.3 then u cannot unlock till a new unlock is discovered.

  19. @picijoker1 Sorry friend. It only takes once to upgrade. If done accidently you cannot unlock. You can only jailbreak now and wait for a new unlock to arrive.

  20. @lokster0986 Custom firmware is only for windows users not for Mac. That custom firmware has cydia already in it. After uploading it u need to download and install ultrasnow from cydia. And it will unlock your iPhone on 4.1. Pls note that after using custom firmware u will not be able to restore your backup like contacts, photos, mail. Details are mentioned in the written description. Also Custom firmware is useless if u are already on 4.1 firmware. You can't use it.

  21. @emac2299 ah ok thanks for the heads up!! rated 5 stars and ive been subscribing for a while already

    a few more questions

    i have an ipod touch 2g mb version, is this jailbreak untethered?
    your custom firmware for the iphone 3g is 4.1 and unlockable? like it updates but keeps the baseband to an unlock level and i can run redshow? this needs to be through windows or can i use a mac with itunes 10.0.1?

  22. So the custom firmware you made is unlockable!? But I can't restore even contacts n messages? Haha that's awesome it's unlockable, I depend on that and untethered

  23. @lokster0986 Don't do it. Reason being for 5.08 bootloader iphone holders, Fuzzyband has NOT been updated and is not compatible with 4.1 firmware. So after updating to 4.1 firmware you will NOT be able to downgrade your baseband using fuzzyband yet. But the developer of Fuzzyband is working on it. Hopefully if will be compatible soon.

  24. emac, i have an iphone 3g with a bootloader 5.08

    can i update to 4.1 and jailbreak and use fuzzyband to downgrade the baseband and use ultrasnow to unlock??? can you try and confirm? lol i only have one phone to lose 🙁
