That’s right. It is again possible to release the iPhone 3G / 3G is running in the latest IOS baseband 4 ( 13/05/2004 ) and 3.1.3 ( 12/05/2008 ).

While there were approaches from the day that IOS was born in April , they usually failed, or not working on multiple devices , or simply were so complicated that the margin of error was quite large . Now it has changed.

The steps are not as simple as “Spirit “, one of the simplest tools to do the jailbreak but if you follow this short guide you can be enjoying not only a phone with jailbreak , but also released to work with any operator in the world !

So if you updated your iPhone 3.1.2 to 3.1.3 by mistake , or 4.0 and no longer worked , following this guide may be used again without any problem!

Terms:

• Jailbreak : the act of modifying the original Apple firmware to allow installation of applications not available on the App Store
• Release : Release involves letting the phone “free” , ie we can use with any Sim card of any operator in the world . Usually, the iPhone is ” locked “or “tied ” to an operator , preventing its use if a chip is not original . To be released , the phone must have ” jailbreak “
• hacktivism : Skip activation on iTunes. It is necessary to not let the phone completely useless if we do not have original operator

The first step is to jailbreak the phone, before moving to the release . Why? Because Ultrasn0w need Cydia to download , which is the application that is responsible for releasing the phone.

In addition, redsn0w just been upgraded to ” hacktivism “iPhone. In short, no longer get stuck on the screen of ” Emergency Call ” as often happens with the iPhone from other countries.

So , download Redsn0w ( 0.9.5b5 ).

• For Mac OSX
• For Windows

For now, This version supports the iPhone 3G and 2G iPod Touch if they upgrade to IOS 4.0

If you have a 3G , or a new iPod Touch (3rd generation 32 or 64 Gbs ), better wait for the Dev Team to improve the functions if they upgrade to IOS 4.0. If you upgraded to 3.1.3 or simply want to release it, redsn0w works well.

Do not forget , redsn0w currently only works with IOS 4 for 3G iPhone / Ipod Touch 2G. The IPSW of 3G does not recognize it .

Or better yet, wait until it launches its Geohot Unlock , which promises a lot.

Just Rednsn0w is updated with support for the iPhone 3G and new iPod Touch, will update the Post.

Step 1: iPhone update our iPod Touch the OS we want. For links IOS 4, here we have:

• iPhone 3G
• iPhone 3GS
• 2G iPod Touch
• iPod Touch 3G

Step 2: Once you install the IOS 4 in our respective phones, turn it off. Do not worry if you can not activate it because redsn0w be responsible for this later (When they have to leave it connected).Do not worry neither by iTunes message , telling us that we must put a valid chip. Just turn off the iPhone ( let down Power and slid a finger ), and proceed to run Red Snow, which we asked for the IPSW file you just downloaded.

Step 3: From the list, select “Install Cydia ” and click Next. If you wish, you can also activate other functions are not enabled by default in the iPhone 3G , such as multitasking , wallpapers , and more.

Step 4: Make sure you have the iPhone off and connected to the PC before you click the next ” Next “. Here , we follow the classic steps to enter the Restore Mode (Press Power, and as I pressed , also press Home. After a few seconds , release Power, Home maintaining pressure ). Just follow the instructions presented .

Step 5: redsn0w will do the rest , so just wait until the end , and we will have Cydia installed, and the phone ” hacktivism . ”

To release and use it with other operators, however, we follow the rest of the tutorial.

Note : If Cydia icon will appear with a white and without any source , open Cydia and add http://apt.saurik.com/cydia-3.7 as a repository . Restart the phone and go! The other option (and it worked perfect) is to simply let it update and restart Cydia .

Free with Ultrasn0w

• Once installed Cydia on iPhone
• We’re going to Manage / Sources / Add
• added : repo666.ultrasn0w.com
• Install Ultrasn0w 0.93
• Restart the phone
• And nothing more!

After following these steps , simply insert any type of memory and ready , will have a completely unlocked IOS 4 !

Conclusion

As I mentioned , this tutorial can follow to the letter to re- release a phone with firmware 3.1.3 and baseband updated. If the 3G have been left as a paperweight , this is the ideal solution !

As always, the tutorials published in arturogoga.com appear only when you have experienced ” first hand ” , so they have a guarantee that the whole process works in much (at least , the entire jailbreak process with carriers there ultrasn0w that sometimes are not recognized )

As always, this tutorial is written for educational purposes , and we can not responsible for the consequences. That said, it is worth noting that the process is very simple, and the proof is the 3G I have here at my side with IOS 4 , totally free.
