Good news for all iPhone 3G users! Sn0wbreeze 3.1.3 has been released which can jailbreak iPhone 2G, 3G and iPhone 3GS on the latest iPhone 3.1.3 firmware. It is very important to note before proceeding that it will work with iPhone 3GS only if it has the older bootrom (non-MC model). iPhone 3GS users who have upgraded to the stock 3.1.3 are still out of luck.
Update: Sn0wbreeze 3.1.3 v1.5.2 released
The best part of Sn0wBreeze is the ability to preserve baseband which means if you’re on an older firmware (means you’ve 05.11.07 or older Baseband) and go to firmware 3.1.3 using Sn0wBreeze, you’ll then be able to unlock your iPhone 3GS, 3G and 2G .
Sn0wBreeze 3.1.3 currently supports iPhones only. In order to jailbreak iPod Touches, you need to checkout redsn0w 0.9.4. iPod touch 3G is currently not supported by either of them.
Guide to Jailbreak iPhone 3G/3GS/2G with Sn0wbreeze 3.1.3
1. Download and install the latest version of iTunes.
2. Start iTunes and sync your iPhone with your PC.
3. Download Sn0wbreeze and the original iPhone OS 3.1.3 for your version of iPhone. Move all these files to your desktop.
4. Start Sn0wbreeze and select “Simple Mode”.
5. Select the correct 3.1.3 firmware .ipsw file by clicking the “Browse” button.
6. Click on “Yes” when Sn0wbreeze asks you “Do you want to activate your iPhone?” for hacktivation. Click on “No” only if you are on an officially supported carrier like AT&T.
7. Sn0wbreeze will now create the custom .ipsw file for your iPhone which will be jailbroken.
8. Now you will have to restore your iPhone to this custom firmware 3.1.3 that you just cooked using Sn0wbreeze for your iPhone. Click on your phone from the sidebar in iTunes and then press and hold left “Shift” button on the keyboard and then click on “Restore” (Not “Update” or “Check for Update”) button in the iTunes and then release the “Shift” button.
9. Sit back and wait for iTunes to do the rest for you.
How to Unlock iPhone 3.1.3 firmware?
Once you have jailbroken your iPhone, just follow the guide posted here to unlock iPhone 3G/3GS/2G running iPhone 3.1.3 firmware!
This guide is for educative and research purposes only
Update: Sn0wbreeze v1.5 is released now. You can download sn0wbreeze v1.5 which can now jailbreak iPod Touch 2G. Sadly, blacksn0w is not fixed in this version either.

I have no idea what baseband I’m on or even what firmware. Is there a way to check this? Just tried it and I keep getting error 1604. I guess im on the new baseband and hence it wont work… correct?

February 6th, 2010 at 11:29 am

February 6th, 2010 at 3:32 pm
Iam on the 05.11.07 baseband, with the older version of the 3gs bought in august. Keep getting error 1604. Please help me, I downloaded itunes 9(latest version) and misstakenly uppdated the phones firmware to 3.1.3.
Please help me!
February 7th, 2010 at 12:40 am
seraaan, you will have to wait (like me) to a jailbreak on the apple version. Your baseband (check at settings->general->about at modem firmware) was already upgraded to 05.12.01
I hope that geohot will get a version for this version soon.
February 8th, 2010 at 10:00 am

February 8th, 2010 at 8:37 pm
Hi seraaan & e-z, I have accidentally upgrade to firmware 3.1.3 also and tried jail breaking using snowbreeze v.1.3 but in vain due to 05.12.01 installed.
Raju, appreciate if you can inform all via this post when new jail breaking tool has been released to unlock & jailbreak 3.1.3.
Many thanks in advance
February 9th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
If I update my 3gs to 3.1.3 will my many installed applications wipe off??If it is please suggest me any method to restore.. Plz reply me soon so that I can update it to 3.1.3…
February 9th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
You would need to first backup your data via iTunes as explained in the article
February 10th, 2010 at 5:22 am
So if I have never jail broken my iphone 3gs and it has the old bootrom, will I be able to jail break this way?
February 10th, 2010 at 11:17 pm
Dude, Which article?…plz provide an link if possible
February 13th, 2010 at 11:19 am
so raju wat you saying is if i have a iphone 36 3.1.3 non MC model with baseband 05.12.01,i have AT&T so i dont really on an unlock,this guide will jailbreak my phone without problems?
February 13th, 2010 at 11:19 am
*iphone 3G sorry
February 13th, 2010 at 6:16 pm
No. You should have followed this guide before you upgraded to iPhone OS 3.1.3, that would have ensured that your baseband is not upgraded to 05.12.01 and hence possible to unlock your iPhone [since there is no proper unlocking tool available for this baseband version yet]
February 15th, 2010 at 3:57 am
Hi i have an iPhone 3GS, (Bought off 02 IRL postpaid in my name)
i was running on f/w 3.1.2 (installed when i bought the phone) and it was perfect,
i Jailbroke it with blackra1n-1.exe,
I did not unlock the phone but i then had cidia and put on installus etc and was able to put on downloaded app’s!! i never made a back up or put my shsh on cydia.
The other day my phone just froze up and i tryed everything,, it wouldnt work at all, all i could get was recovery mode on i tunes,,,
it wouldnt let me reinstall f/w 3.1.2 so i had no choice to update the phone as it would not work,

As for “un unknown error occurred (2)”, I solved it by using an older version of sn0wbreeze! That is, sn0wbreeze-V1.5.2.exe did not work, while sn0wbreeze-V1.4.exe worked perfectly!!!
May 7th, 2010 at 8:57 pm
i got jail break in you tube videos
May 9th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
For those who are experiencing 1600 error on itunes, try copying the modified firmware to C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\Device Support and C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates, folder and start restore from itunes. It works like breeze.
May 15th, 2010 at 11:51 am

Plzzz Help
Thnxx in Advance
June 30th, 2010 at 3:13 am
If sn0wbreeze isn’t downloading on your computer and you have norton security, it probably just detected it as a threat and quarantined it. Just open up Norton, go to quarantine and restore the file. Worked for me
July 13th, 2010 at 3:42 am
didnt it suck how this jailbreak didnt work for ipod touch 3.1.3 :/ . I had to wait for spirit to come out to jailbreak that
July 16th, 2010 at 10:59 pm
if 3.1.3 go to this spirit and download it one cilk to jailbreak your ipod or iphone or your ipad
