Well I downloaded everything I was told to but RedsnOw will not recognize the 3.1.3 firmware but the 3.1.2 firmware. although my iphone is loaded with the 3.1.3. what should I do?

Hi Josh,

Do you mean to say that your phone already has 3.1.3 firmware and you’re interested in jailbreaking, unlocking it?

My phone has 3.1.3 firmware, but the redsn0w does not recognize the firmware 3.1.2… I used to have firmware 2.1.2 and my phone was unlocked, i updated my phone to 3.1.3 and then tried to jailbreak my phone… then the Itunes told me to restore it… i thought that it was a procedure to jailbreak it… so i restored it and now i’m having problems unlocking it… any advice?

Same problem as Josh above. I accidentaly downloaded 3.1.3 and now I am screwed. Redsnow does not recognise 3.1.2. Any solutions???????
Please help.

working perfectly with Iphone 2g from first time, beside I have restored all my pre backup and the Iphone working properly right now.
thanks alot for your guidance.

thank you! can’t say more than this, so perfectly..hohohhohoho

I pick-up an iphone 2g. Suppose to be unlocked and jailbroken. It does have cydia already. But I can’t log onto the internet. It keep saying there’s no data plan. I’m with AT&T and/was using a Blackberry 8900. What do I need to do?

i for some reason cannot find the 3.1.2 file that i am supposed to browse in redsn0w, so therefore i cannot click ‘next’ and continue. any suggestions????

How long does it take to update iPhones OS through iTunes?

downloaded everything and when i click the file from redsnow it says unable to reconize specifed ispw

There is no ipsw file. Warning: don’t trust these guys.

@ Sooke
No ipsw file?? Check the link again.

hey i followed the procedure and it jailbroked my iphone but it cannot read my sim and says no service
What to do??
Please help

@Pushpak : same here im tryin to downgrade now.

AMAZING! I have spent the last 6 hours following tutorial after tutorial, each time downloading files from their specific links and it was no until I hit your tutorial that it all finally worked! Thank you so much. Even though this was a very short tut the links all worked and the process resulted in an updated unlocked and jailbroken iphone 2g. Thanks

it’s gr8 100% success thank you

hello,
I used redsn0w and my iPhone is unlocked but when I try to turn it back on it wont turn on. What do i do?

i for some reason cannot find the 3.1.2 file that i am supposed to browse in redsn0w, so therefore i cannot click ‘next’ and continue. any suggestions????

worked perfect on 2G. thanks for the guidence.

i’m having trouble entering dfu mode. everytime i attempt it, it just restarts. any suggestions?

This is an AMAZING GUIDE. THANK YOU. Guys don’t forget to download a bootloader 3.9 and 4.5 to the same destination folder as your IPSW and rensn0w.
Cheers

Very successful, thank you so much! x

If you are having trouble “finding” the 3.1.2 ipsw with redsn0w, it is because when you downloaded it, your system defaulted it to a WinZip or a WinRAR. After you click to download the file and you select the save point, there is a dropdown below the path/filename that will allow you to change the type of file.

This is rly working finnaly some1 who rly did a good thing

worked great all files good
excellent work

Thank you. works perfect, easy step by step procedure, my little phone is unlocked in 10 minutes, what can I say : THANK YOU

Well, it worked great for me. Follow instructions carefully and it will work. I downloaded 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 but only used 3.1.2. I guess I should have used the 3.1.3 but it’s working for now and I’ll research to see what to do from here. Thanks very much for this tutorial!!

Worked like a charm, thx for the awesome info!

How do i change the zip extension name to ipsw.Hi huys plis help me unlock my iPhone 2G just updated from 3.0.1 to 3.1.3 firmware.
Thanks as i await

I am so grate of your instructions… It’s amaze!

The 3.1.2 & 3.1.3 files default to a .zip file extension. The save option only offers a jzip or all files for “file type”. Do I just rename the *.zip file to *.ipsw?

PLS HELP!!

iPhone 2g. Jailbroken 3.1.3 and supposedly unlocked. Today, I plugged in a T-Mobile SIM and it came up no service. Not sure how to get past this.

I did the jailbreak with Pwnage Tool 3.1.5. The jailbreak seemed to work, but the not the unlock.

I downloaded Bootneuter from Cydia to check the settings and it looks to be unlocked. It seems as though there is something else to do.

I checked the phone with another SIM (ATT Iphone) and it seemed to work, but not with the T-Mobile SIM.

I am on a mac.
Any ideas?

follow these directions EXACTLY. It works great!! Thanks!

Install Cydia is nessesary or optional

With Cydia u can get a lot of stuffs like appsync for installin cracked apps, etc…

thank you very much!!
it work!!

How am I supposed to know if its unlocked or not? Because after following these instructions and turning on my iPhone, I put in the new sim card and it said “Searching…” in the top left corner for about 5 mins. At that point I just took it out.
Basically I just need some help on how to get this to work.

Hey nick, do it again, sometimes it wont do it the first time..

Hey Nick,

I believe its unlocked. Just try another SIM card. If it still doesn’t work then simply reset all settings.

If it still doesnt work then do the entire procedure again.. It should definitely work

Hope that helps.

Cheers!

Hey, I downloaded the firmware files but i cannot seem to browse 3.1.2.ipsw file. The downloaded folders does not contain this file.

woh it is nice way i successfully upgrade 3.1.2 to 3.1.3 at iphone 2G nice job man

Is there a mac version of this?
Just downloaded everything and realized it’s a .exe file.
Every Mac link for redsn0w I have found fails.

Hi Sanjeet….
In which browser did you download the IPSW file? Just check the downloads section in it…

Hi David….
You can try downloading Redsn0W for Mac from here

Can you also activate your iPhone with this?

Thanks a lot! It worked and its perfect!

First we have to install 3.1.3 on itunes, then browse 3.1.2 on redsnOw.

Correct?

what if i cant update it to 3.1.3 because its not unlocked and i dont have any sim card to use on it?

Hey there, i have iTunes 10 and i’m not sure how to update to the 3.1.3 firmware.. i double click the file and it brings up my itunes 10 but nothing happens.. then when i opened redsnOw and opened 3.1.2 it said it’s unable to recognize the specified ISPW software.. what should i do?

@ Anas:
Yeah!

@Greta:
Be positive! It will surely unlock. My iPhone 2G is unlocked with 3.1.3

@Nina:
You can update by going to iTUnes and clicking your phone on the left hand panel. Now, under your phone info you can click on the update button. Or hold the shift button and then browse for the firmware. Hope that helps.

You the man! It works, Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much, look some time to find your site but followed your instructions worked like a charm. Thanks again.

You’re welcome mate. Subscribe to email updates to stay in touch with us. thank you

please help me ( !!!!

Thank you so much! It works perfectly and very easy to use! Thank you

It totally fails to work for me. I’ve connected the iPhone (A1203) to the PC, ran the latest version of redsn0w (redsn0w_win_0.9.6rc9), and I have the following files in the folder containing the aforementioned:

iPhone1,1_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw
iPhone1,1_3.1.3_7E18_Restore.ipsw
bl39.bin
bl46.bin

It keeps telling me “Unable to recognize IPSW”… I just formatted the iPhone, and it worked before. Now it says “No SIM card installed” and asks to “Insert a valid SIM with no PIN lock to activate iPhone.” There is an image of a USB cable pointing to the logo of iTunes in the background.

Can anyone help? I’ve tried other version of redsn0w, as well as the latest one (redsn0w_win_0.9.6rc9) without any success. I’ve also tried sn0wbreeze, blackra1n with no success.

I forgot to mention, but I did try to load the 3.1.2 firmware first, but I’ve tried all of them going back to the first one, even, iPhone1,1_1.0_1A543a_Restore.ipsw with no success.

My iPhone (A1203) was updated to 3.1.3 and working well before the format.

Regarding the Help comments, I figured it out. I needed the exact 0.9.4 version of redsn0w, the newer versions don’t work, and the older versions don’t work either.

The link to 0.9.4 on this page is dead. A lot of links to it are dead.

Here is a working one:
http://rs122.rapidshare.com/files/345102412/redsn0w-win_0.9.4.zip

Cheers.

you totally fail. of course it won’t recognize the IPSW because you are using the latest redsn0w!
the instruction clearly said to use redsn0w 0.9.4 try again noobie

Its stuck on “please wait while your device is being processed” / “waiting for reboot”.

What do i do?

I had some questions going into this process:
a) I already did a Jailbreak with Spirit
b) I have IOS 3.1.3 — why do I need to download IOS 3.1.2
but I followed these instructions exactly and it worked — not sure whether my spirit jailbreak was necessary. Seems to have worked. Off to buy a SIM card now

Hi Mark,
When you jailbroke with Spirit, what was your firmware? Jailbreak and unlock are two different concepts. This tutorial helps you to unlock. Nothing’s gona happen to your jailbreak.
It asks for 3.1.3 just for recognizing the firmware and unlocking 3.1.3. It won’t use it to restore.

Try holding the power button so that the phone starts

boss supper u rocks……………………………………………………

It worked on 14th of April 2011 on my G2 Iphone after I was so stupid to connect it to Itunes to upgrade…could only make emergency calls. But I had to download the ipsw firmware with firefox instead of internet explorer and turn of my AVG protection. I’m an idiot, never did anything like this…thanx!!

It depends on the browser you use to download the file. Just change the zip extension to Ipsw. If it still remains a zip file, use a different Internet browser and re-download

pidarasy naxhuj

Hi, I downloaded both iPhone 3.1.2 firmware and iPhone 3.1.3 firmware (zip archive), unziped them, but when I browse with redsnow as well as with explorer, there is no ipsw file. Can you help me pls?
