The iPhone Dev-Team has just released redsn0w 0.9.4 to jailbreak and unlock iPhone 2G. This comes soon after Apple released iPhone OS 3.1.3 which is a minor firmware update for iPhone 2G/3G/3GS, iPod Touch 2G/3G. Note that it is better to wait until iphone dev team update their tools to unlock and jailbreak iPhone 3.1.3 firmware if you have iPhone 3G/3GS or iPod Touch 3G or 2G (newer models).
But then, the newly released redsn0w 0.9.4 can be used to jailbreak iPhone 2G 3.1.3 along with iPod Touch 1G and iPod Touch 2G. Do NOT update to iPhone 3.1.3 firmware yet if you want to preserve your unlock for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, iPod touch 2G (new models) and iPod touch 3G. This is because the new iPhone 3.1.3 firmware updates baseband to 05.12.01 on iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G which makes it impossible to jailbreak and unlock iPhone 3GS and 3G.
You can follow the simple instructions as given in the earlier post to jailbreak and unlock iPhone 2G, jailbreak iPod 1G/2G (older models only) on 3.1.3 firmware. You can also jailbreak iPhone 3G with redsn0w 0.9.4 but doing so will make you loose your unlock.
Jailbreak iPhone 3.1.3 with redsn0w 0.9.4
1. Update to original iPhone 3.1.3 firmware via iTunes. Downloading and installation instructions for iPhone 3.1.3 firmware can be found here.
2. Download redsn0w 0.9.4 from here [Win], and [Mac]
3. Start redsn0w 0.9.4 and point it to the respective original iPhone 3.1.2 firmware to proceed.
4. Select both “Install Cydia” and “Already pwned” options.
5. Connect your device in recovery mode by pressing the Power and buttons continuously.
6. Wait for redsn0w to complete jailbreaking.
Unlock iPhone 2G 3.1.3 with redsn0w 0.9.4
As mentioned before, unlocking works for iPhone 2G only.
7. Once you are done with the jailbreak, you can now unlock your iPhone 2G running jailbroken firmware 3.1.3 by using BootNeuter app from Cydia. Restart your iPhone and follow the straight-forward instructions appearing on the device to complete the unlock.

how about for 3g. i understand that if you update to 3.1.2, the baseband will update. how do you unlock it. is there a new ultrasn0w for baseband 5.11.07?
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 ultrasn0w yet for baseband 5.11.07, you would have to wait longer
Hi. I accidentally updated my 3G iphone firmware to 3.1.3

Hi,
I have iphone 3gs, old bootrom nonMC-Model, which was jailbroken and unlocked using blackra1n/blacksn0w, in firmware 3.1.2. Without much knowledge at that time, I upgraded to 3.1.3 thinking that I can jailbreak/unlock again. It ended up in emergency calls only. Now I know my baseband also updated and there is no solution for unlock for the time being. But many sites suggests that it can be jailbroken again. Am not sure I have saved my ECID SHSH with Cydia. Is there any way I can jailbreak again atleast? I tried, latest redsn0w, sn0wbreeze, tried editing hosts file and downgrading to 3.1.2 in dfu mode , nothing works out.. any suggestions?
Thanks and in advance
You can try downgrading your firmware version using Fuzzyband app, but I am not sure if it supports 3GS. Some sites have articles on this, so have a look. You can jailbreak as-is right now

Jailbreak 3.1.3 iPhone 3G for Windows:
After updating to 3.1.3 using ITunes, I managed to jailbreak (install cydia) 3.1.3 by downloading redsn0w 0.9.4 and running the programme. When it asks for IPSW I put in 3.1.2 (downloaded from redmondpie.com and that has worked fine for my iPhone 3G. Cydia is on and firmware still 3.1.3.
wen i do this my screen just goes black and nothing happens
@DOM
Could you be a bit more specific mate..I tried and like Mike my screen goes black and nothing happens.
When I restart, no CYDIA either.
BTW Mine is a 3GS running 3.1.3
Hi!
Well, I’ve searched all over the net(almost), for a hint on this…
I got an iPhone 3G, 3.1.3, and I want to jailbreak it… I do not need to unlock it. What do I do? I got the point, that if you want to unlock the device, you shouldn’t upgrade, but I do only want to jailbreak it(to get Cydia and to costimize).
Thanks in advance
Michael

Just download fuzzyband from Cydia and backdate your baseband to 4.28.08. Your bootloader has to be 5.8 or lower though.
hi. my ipod touch second generation is 3.1.3. i did exactally what you said, when i use rednsn0w, it says :
please wait while your device is being processed
then it says
waiting for reboot
it just stays like that & never changes…i don`t know what to do! please help!
Mariah, Mine did the EXACT same thing, however I did the following steps and it works perfectly fine now(:
1) Unplug iPod and plug it back in.
2) Close redsn0w and open it again.
3) Followed the steps all over. When I got to the part where you have to hold the power and home key, even though the screen stayed black I still did it and it ended up going to the next step. Only this time it didn’t get stuck at “Waiting for reboot.”
I hope this helps!(:
for the waiting for reboot problem take out the sim card and it will work. at least for me worked

i have an iphone 16gb 3gs and it just says insert a valid sim card with no pin lock,what should i do with it?
I have a new 3G that came with 3.1.3 already on it. when I try to jailbreak it, it will not come out of recovery mode and I have to restore it. I used redsn0w 0.9.4. I did get it to work on my 2g iPhone so I know I’m doing it right it just will not jailbreak the 3G. is this because it came with 3.1.3 and it wasn’t an upgrade? any help would be great. thanks
I HAVE FIGURED OUT THE BLANK SCREEN ISSUE.
I have a iPhone 3G with v3.1.3 that has never been Jailbroken before today.
to get it to work……..
DONT SELECT THE ‘ALERADY PWNED’ BUTTON!!!! The process after is slightly different (includes DFU part as soon as you press next)
It should work after….its taken me 3 days of trying different jailbreak software to find one that works.
Also, make sure you have the correct 3.1.2 firmware its called iphone1,2_3.2.1_7D11_restore.
Hope this helps some of you, its been a frustrating few days for me and im sure theres others out there!
OMG thank you so much Matthew, that worked perfect
