    How to jailbreak iPhone 3GS 3.1 on WINDOWS ??

    Thanks

  8. raj5ive on October 6th, 2009 6:06 am

    Hi,

    What about 3GS with OS3.1 that has not been jailbroken before? Is there a chance for us to Jailbreak our iPhones ? Kindly advise. Thanks.

  9. Raj on October 6th, 2009 7:56 am

    @Abzurd

    Yes, First you have to take Backup of all your Contacts n Messages

  10. Raj on October 6th, 2009 7:57 am

    @Wynn

    Coz now you have to Unlock it with Ultrasn0w

    Start from Step 5

  11. Raj on October 6th, 2009 7:59 am

    @avielb

  12. Raj on October 6th, 2009 8:01 am

    @raj5ive

    Don,t Do this steps, Coz this is only for Jailbreak 3.1 or 3..0.1. Not for the os3.1

  13. xabu on October 6th, 2009 7:36 pm

    Hello,
    the files are corrupt! I can not unzip the files!
    Pleas help me!
    Thanks.

  14. Abzurd on October 7th, 2009 12:25 am

    Thanks Raj :) Just so I’m sure I understand you…1) Back up my iPhone contents with iTunes. 2) Run through steps 1-5 if I only want to update my Jailbreak & not unlock. 3) Using iTunes I import my contacts & apps & media content. Is that correct?

  15. Ash on October 7th, 2009 3:34 am

    I got stocked with pop-up window Preparing iPhone for restor, for maybe 10 mins, then process is aborted with Msg: Iphonecould not be restored. Unknown error occured (1604).

    My iPhone 3GS firmware 3.1.

    Any once can help please ?

  16. Abzurd on October 7th, 2009 7:58 am

    Hey got it going with no problems! iTunes automatically updated by backup profile. Thanks allot 3GS 3.1 is real!

  17. Raj on October 7th, 2009 8:16 am

  18. Ash on October 7th, 2009 1:28 pm

    @Absurd:

    Pls look into my problem. Now I can not even restore Apple original firmware from iTunes. I get error msg and the whole thing is aborted.

    Please I appreciate your help.

    Thanks.

  19. Aziz on October 7th, 2009 7:24 pm

    Everything works!

    BUT .. the carrier name next to the signal bars has gone .. any idea how to fix this?

    Thanks!

  20. Raj on October 7th, 2009 7:29 pm

    @Aziz

    Donload the app Make it Mine From Cydia Store and enter the Name of your Provider and Save it.

    its work for me

  21. Aziz on October 7th, 2009 7:46 pm

    Hi Raj

    Thanks, I was actually thinking of that .. but then I thought I will have to do the same thing again if I were to switch carriers. Wish someone could come up with something to solve this permanently.

    But this will do for now. Cheers!

  22. Lily on October 7th, 2009 8:19 pm

    Hello, I have a iphone 3g and i upgraded to 3.1 firmware by mistake and now phone no longer works with tmobile :(
    PLease let me know if this works for the 3g? I appreciate any help. thanks!

  28. Wynn on October 8th, 2009 7:58 am

    Raj,

    thanks for the idea as I have tried going through cydia to unlock. My quesion is in order to add or download anything through cydia the phone must have some sort of serivce. So once I have the phone jailbroke, how do I get some sort of Internet connection so I can actually goto cydia and download ultrasn0w? Please let me know, unless it’s worth just waiting for a cleaner jailbreak?

  29. Wynn on October 8th, 2009 8:01 am

    And do I have to unlock the phone inorder to have a normal working jailbroke phone? Or are you telling me to follow step 5 to “just” unlock it? Cause I just want a jAilbroke phone not unlocked.

  30. Ejaz on October 8th, 2009 9:34 am

    hey raj i need your help… my 3gs was out of box with 3.0 version … my phone was crashed when i was installing ‘iblacklist’ .. i found many ways but it was still not working after apple logo.. i decided to upgrade i thought my phone was factory unlocked but all went wronge and now my phone is locked due to baseband update .. will these steps make my phone work ? i mean will this UNLOCK my phone ??

  31. Raj on October 8th, 2009 10:18 am

    @roz

    No it will not work on 3.1

  32. Raj on October 8th, 2009 10:19 am

    @Wynn

    For this you have to Activate wifi or 3G on your phone, to install anything from Cydia

  33. Raj on October 8th, 2009 10:21 am

    @Wynn

    If you have the Jailbreaken 3.0 or 3.01 than forst you have to download above custome firmware links of 3.1 and after the installation your phone is upgraded to 3.1 and Jialbreak to. Now after that you have to Unlock it form Step 5

  34. Raj on October 8th, 2009 10:22 am

    @Ejaz

    If you updated your iphone from itunes to 3.1 than Don,t do these steps.

    This one is only for Jailbreak 3.0 and 3.0.1 users

  35. Raj on October 8th, 2009 10:23 am

    @Ragheb

    Not it will not work on 3.1

  36. Adil on October 8th, 2009 12:31 pm

    I can no longer obtain the IBSS and IBEC files because I cannot restore the firmware to anything besides the 3.1 firmware – which I did not do. Can I jail break it with 3.0.1 firmware and then upgrade to this custom 3.1 firmware and obtain the IBSS and IBEC files when I am upgrading it through iTunes to 3.1?
    Do I need the signature IBSS and IBEC files?
    I can get the ECID number, but it does not download from the purplera1n website any longer. An error occurs. I guess purplera1n quit.

  37. audit on October 8th, 2009 8:30 pm

    @Raj

    You might want to put that in your instructions that it doesn’t work on 3.1 since that’s what I’ve been trying to use it on. Now I’m just waiting for the others to come up with a jailbreak for 3GS 3.1 since I don’t need the unlock.

  38. Aadi on October 9th, 2009 8:04 am

    hey …I got my iphone and I updated it to 3.1 by i – tune… so THese step will work or not? I m not getting properly… I understand till 4 step but in fifth step , I got struct.. from where i ll get this cydia in my iphone?
    please help me…

  39. Raj on October 9th, 2009 8:09 am

    @Aadi.

    Yes this will not work for you, Coz you install the firmware from Itune. The Firmware that i given in the rapidsahre links is the Custom One. Which one is Jailbreak. So it has the Cydia. Which will help you to unlock your iphone

  40. Aadi on October 9th, 2009 8:12 am

    thanx
    is there any other way so I can unlock my iphone 3gs 3.1 for windows?

    I will really appriciate your all help

  41. Raj on October 9th, 2009 8:14 am

    @Aadi

    Right Now there is now way to Unlock the Baseband 5.0. So wait for some time.

  42. Aadi on October 9th, 2009 8:17 am

    thanx for quick reply…
    I will really appriciate your help… so I will wait until some good news come out…

    Is There Any Posibality To Unlock My Iphone 3gs

  45. Ash on October 9th, 2009 10:16 am

    @Raj:

    Pls look into my case:
    My iPhone 3GS was jailbroken and unlocked, I upgraded to 3.1 by mistake, so it was on the non activated mode, I put it in the DFU mode plug to PC and tried upload firmware provided here using iTune, which failed for error: could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1604).

    Now the iPhone is freezed in the upload firmware. I can not go back even to 3.1 from iTune with Apple.

    Please reply to my post with your advice ?

  46. Benjamin on October 10th, 2009 7:33 am

    It worked like a charm, thank you! Now when it reboots and is ready to use, Itunes offers to restore my backup, do I use it or will that restore the factory 3.1 and mess everything up?
    thanks

  47. Tom on October 10th, 2009 3:41 pm

    DId we verify/calarify for 100% sure that if you do this, you LOSE all your previously jailbroken installed apps?

    Im guessing losing contacts, pics, and MP3s is no big deal, as Im assuming you can restore them easily as long as you back everything up with itunes before you do this.

    HOwever, how about all your jailbroken apps. Are they totally wiped if you do this??

  48. mik210 on October 11th, 2009 8:11 pm

    i tried what you said on this whebsie.
    but when i try restore, it came out error 1600. then i tried second time, now error 1604 came out……what should i do? can you tell me how this thing work??please………………

  49. Raj on October 11th, 2009 8:16 pm

    @mik210

    Is your iphone 3GS and if yes and you are getting the error than do these steps

    Solution for error 1604, 1602, 1601 (some 160x)

    * Restart your computer and try again.
    * Try another computer
    * Try switching USB ports
    * Uninstall and reinstall iTunes 9

  50. Dara on October 12th, 2009 11:05 am

    Thanks anyway.

  52. Raj on October 12th, 2009 12:42 pm

    @ Dara

  67. Sandeep on October 29th, 2009 6:50 pm

    @Raj
    I’m new to all this, please help me to clarify a few things:

    1/ Jailbreak = installing special firmware/software to allow you to install and run applications on your iphone ?
    2/ Unlock = unlock the phone from att and allow you to use different sim cards. In order to unlock your phone, you have to jailbreak it first.

    I have a 3GS with OS 3.1 right out-of-the-box. I need to jailbreak and unlock the phone. Please provide me with the instruction.

    Your help is greatly appreciated.

  68. purushoth on November 2nd, 2009 11:40 am
