[Mac+Win] Jailbreak iOS 4 [GM] for iPhone 3G/3GS & iPod Touch 2G [UPDATED 8-1-2010]

*UPDATE 8-1-2010*

COMEX HAS [FINALLY] RELEASED THE RENEWED VERSION OF JAILBREAKME.COM. IT JAILBREAKS ALL DEVICES RUNNING 3.1.2/3.1.3 (EXCEPT THE IPHONE 2G), 3.2/3.2.1, AND 4.0/4.0.1. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO!!!!! EVERYTHING ELSE IN THIS POST IS OBSOLETE.

*UPDATE 6-24-2010*

ih8sn0w has released sn0wbreeze 1.6.1 for Windows, which is equivalent to PwnageTool for Mac OS X. Click here if you’d like to try that out. Also works for the 3GS.

*UPDATE 6-22-2010*

The iPhone-Dev Team has just release PwnageTool 4.0 for Mac OS X. If you’re familiar with it or want to know more about it, click here. Also works for the 3GS.

*UPDATE 6-21-2010*

Apple has just released iOS 4 to the public. If you’ve downloaded the public release (via iTunes), you can still jailbreak it with redsn0w, but you’ll need to give redsn0w the GM IPSW (can be found here).

You can easily jailbreak your iPhone 3G or iPod Touch 2G running the 4.0 GM, so that you can do things like enable native multitasking and add a home screen wallpaper. It’s very easy to do! It’s very simple. Download redsn0w, run it, choose the same IPSW file that you used to install the iOS 4 GM onto your device, and continue on with the jailbreak. More details after the jump.

Download redsn0w 0.9.5b5-4 (Mac only)

Download redsn0w 0.9.5b5-4 (Windows only)

*This DOES NOT work with the MC-model 8GB iPod Touch 2G! Don’t ask when it’ll be out.*

*FOR THE IPHONE 3GS: Windows | Mac OS X

It’s very simple. Download redsn0w, run it, choose the same IPSW file that you used to install the iOS 4 GM onto your device, and continue on with the jailbreak. That’s it! You’re jailbroken on the final version of iOS 4. You can also enable options like home screen wallpaper and multitasking from within redsn0w (if you wish).

  • SmplMan

    Will this work on non developer activated phones?

  • Jeroen

    Were can I find the jailbreak for the iPhone3GS?

    Can't find it. thnx!

  • http://www.polarpattern.com Bryan

    Your title is misleading. Is this for the GM or for beta 4?

  • http://gumballtech.com brian

    How's it misleading? It says it's for the GM, so it's for the GM.

  • http://www.polarpattern.com Bryan

    It's misleading because the instructions say: “…choose the 4.0 beta 4 3G IPSW file” The instructions have nothing to do with the GM. I can confirm that redsn0w doesn't work with the GM.

  • http://gumballtech.com brian

    I removed your last line as it's misleading to my readers.

    It's just a simple exploit that redsn0w uses to use the 4.0 beta 4 IPSW to jailbreak the GM firmware.

  • ricks

    will this preserve your baseband?

  • http://gumballtech.com brian

    No.

  • fkick

    Just to make sure I'm understanding before I move ahead with this, I can jailbreak the beta firmware with redsn0w and then do I need to run an update with itunes to bring it to 4.0 GM?

    Otherwise, how does creating a custom firmware with the Beta4 install a jailbroken version of the GM?

    Thanks and sorry for my confusion in advance!

  • fkick

    Never mind, this post by musclenerd explains it a bit more clearer…

    “For those who can legitimately activate to the iPhone3G 4.0GM seed, the “point to previous IPSW” redsn0w trick works and will jailbreak your 4.0GM. The “trick” is to point redsn0w at the 4.0beta4 IPSW instead of 4.0GM (do this after you've updated to 4.0GM and activated through the new iTunes 9.2 on your Mac). Since the carrier unlocks aren't yet supported at 4.0, don't do this if you use yellowsn0w/ultrasn0w/blacksn0w.

    For those without legit iPhone3G 4.0GM seed access, please wait until the full public 4.0 release for updates to the jailbreak tools.”

  • http://gumballtech.com brian

    The instructions were clearly laid out. No other thought needed to be put into it.

    And the GM doesn't need to be activated.

  • paul

    I've done this, but Safari crashes, same with yours?

  • Brandon

    the iphone iOS 4 beta 4 links are dead they no longer work…any other places to get it at?

  • Brandon

    and the redsn0w says “wont run on this infastructure” sorry i rarely use my mac so lol

  • http://gumballtech.com brian

    The second mirror as well as the torrent are all working great.

  • James

    It certainly sounds very simple and it appeared to work however Cydia has no icon art and simply crashes each time I start it respringing my device. I updated to iOS 4 GM then used redsnow and the 4.0 Beta like you said. Maybe I'll try again.

  • James

    It would appear that trying again while selecting already jailbroken and install cydia has gotten it to load now. Still no icon art for cydia tho.

  • http://gumballtech.com brian

    The white icon is normal until you actually get into Cydia and do the complete upgrades.

    Try restarting?

  • James

    And there's the art after doing “upgrade essential” If at first you don't succeed…

  • Brandon

    I get the error, “Unable to to recognize specified IPSW” when I select the 4.0 software. I just used this same ipsw to upgrade without issue. Any ideas why it gives this error?

  • http://twitter.com/bowlandspoon Dan

    There isn't one as yet, you could try this method I guess (with the appropriate firmware)

  • bowlandspoon

    Yes it will, that's the point of the GM, you don't need an activated UDID

  • Tim

    All Im getting is 'unable to recognise specified ipsw.'

    Im pointing it at the file I downloaded to update the phone to 4.0 but it wont have it.

    Can someone tell me what im doing wrong or how to correct it please?

  • Tim

    Likewise.

    Cant work out how to sort it out.

  • jin

    how come i can't get ifile from cydia?

  • http://www.digitalbodycount.com Baljot

    Download the beta IPSW from the second link in this article.

  • Tim

    I've already done that. os4.0 is running on my phone fine but for some reason when I link to the ipsw file it is giving me that message.

    Really want to get this sorted, I hate not being able to work things out. Cheers though.

  • Max

    Yes, the same with me, safari crash on startup before opening bookmarks

  • gkaloy10

    I get the error, “Unable to to recognize specified IPSW” pls help!

  • Tim

    Sorted it now.

    I didnt have the beta 4 even though i thought I had.

    Cheers for the help.

  • bowlandspoon

    You got this working yet mate?

  • http://www.polarpattern.com Bryan

    I think to make things a little clearer, you should explain that the 4.0 GM needs to be installed before following these directions.

  • Brandon

    what does it mean when redsn0w says “Cant run on this infrastructure”

  • Alonissos1702

    I can't get my phone in to dfu mode. No matter what! Any tips? I've tried for ages, and its worked before!

  • Guest

    I keep getting the 'unable to recognize specified IPSW' error. Have the beta4 file (proper one, for iPhone 3G). Googled around and not sure what is up! =)

    Whenever I run redsn0w and it jailbreaks it i lose all iphone features except for itunes. I have no phone icon, mail, or message icons etc.

  • Jonnyblazze

    i´ve upgraded my ipod touch 2g with the ios 4 from this site.. everything works fine… great job…

    after that, i jailbreaked my ipod touch 2g with the redsn0w-version from this page to get multitasking and the homescreen wallpaper.

    everything worked absolutely perfect throught the installing-process

    but after that…

    #1

    in the statusbar the clock only shows the last number of the actual hour, there stands just 3.56 instead of 23.56

    #2

    the statusbar shows the free memory of the device, is is this normal? cause winterboard and sbsettings are not running and springboard crashes everytime i have installed winterboard or sb manager/settings.

    #3

    could it be that multitasking doesn´t work right or isn´t real multitasking?, cause apps appear in the dock when i doubblepress the homebutton but when i jump between apps they have to be reloaded everytime i open them.

    thanks for your answers.

    1) Try using 12-hour time?
    2) Did you restore from a jailbroken backup? If so, then this is why. Some of your jailbroken tweaks are backed up via iTunes and can be restored.
    3) Please read up on Apple's multitasking implementation. They clearly state that the app has to be updated for multitasking to work.

    Keep in mind that these guys DO do this in their spare time and do this stuff for no money at all. You should respect that :) . Plus, these things take time. Expecting a jailbreak on release day is crazy talk. It's certainly possible, but there's a lot of other variables to consider (like whether or not Apple will patch an exploit, etc).

    Please help me with this one. It may sound very very basic, but… I've upgraded my iPhone3G to iOS4 using iTunes. How do I find this IPSW file that you're talking about? RedsnOw doesn't go further along without it. Also, where does the PwnageTool 4.01 (that I've already downloaded) come in the picture? Thanks in advance.

    got the same problems here with my iPod touch 2g mc-model.

    i took the the GM IPSW file

    and redsn0w doesn´t go further.

    after using pwnage-tool the iPod isn´t jailbroken.

    how comes that? i followed the instructions step by step. really.

    iPhone 3G 8GB

    I've used GM ipsw and redsn0w 0.9.5b5-1 – so far everythink works fine except iBooks (downloaded book is not showed in iBooks)

    so I have downloaded the latest redsn0w 0.9.5b-4, used the same ipsw file and unfortunately I have the same problem as many others. The file is not recognized.
    I did a same think with old redsn0w today and file is recognized properly.

    Am I doing somethink wrong ?

    Thanks for help.

    As mentioned in the post, the latest versions of redsn0w require the official IPSW, not the GM.

    You did NOT read the instructions, nor the post. The MC model iPT2G is NOT supported.

    I have the same behaviour also with version 0.9.5b5-2

    hey guys I have the ipod touch 4g 4.3.3 firmware and there’s nothing wrong with t just the redsnow application. You see I have mac 10.5.8 so that can’t be the problem. I am hoping for suggestions. this is what it says when trying to open the application.
    “you can not open the application “redsnow” because it is not supported on this architecture
