older iPod Touch 2G using the redsn0w 3.1.2 loophole.

Before we begin there are some things you need to know. First of all for the iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G, and the
newer iPod Touch 2G (model number beginning with "MC") jailbreaking 3.1.3 is NOT POSSIBLE at the
moment. Do not try. We strongly recommend you DO NOT upgrade to 3.1.3 if you use one of these devices.

Update: Again just to make sure it's painfully obvious . . . You can not jailbreak 3.1.3 for the following devices:

iPhone 3GS

iPod Touch 3G

iPod Touch 2G (model number beginning with "MC")

Next order of business is for iPhone 3G users. DO NOT Upgrade to 3.1.3 or follow this guide if you need an
unlock. Upgrading to 3.1.3 will upgrade your baseband which is not currently unockable.

If you have an iPhone 2G you can jailbreak and unlock 3.1.3 by following this guide.

Lets download the necessary files.

Download the 3.1.2 firmware for your device:

iPhone 3G

iPod Touch 1G & iPod Touch 2G users you'll need to find the 3.1.2 .IPSW that iTunes downloaded onto your
computer when you originally updated to 3.1.2

Next Download redsn0w:

Windows redsn0w 0.9.4 download

MMi Member Mirror

Rapidshare

Megaupload

OS X redsn0w 0.9.4 download

Rapidshare

Megaupload

Now that we have everything downloaded connect your device to iTunes and allow it to download and update to
3.1.3.

Once the update via iTunes to 3.1.3 is done close out itunes and start up redsn0w.

Clck Browse, select the 3.1.2 firmware that you downloaded for your device, and Open.

Once completed the redsn0w windows says Done! Click Finish and redsn0w exits. Things will still be going on
on your device so don't mess with it until it has fully rebooted to the lockscreen. Congrats! You have jailbroken
3.1.3 for your Device!

What is you have a 3GS with model number starting with MB?

5. Tario70 on February 3rd, 2010

I thought all of the Model numbers for the 3GS were MC. I got mine day one & it says MC. Weird.
~Tario70

6. n00neimp0rtant on February 3rd, 2010

Can anyone confirm if the "Verbose Boot" option actually works on the 3G S (good bootrom)?

7. bootleg on February 3rd, 2010

what if you used blackra1n to jailbreak and unlock?

8. MOSHO92 on February 3rd, 2010

@Tario70 strange indeed. I got mine a couple weeks after release and my model number is MB.

9. Cody Overcash on February 3rd, 2010

@ Tario70 the model number MC is referring to the iPod Touch 2G

10. Cody Overcash on February 3rd, 2010

@ MOSHO92

no 3GS JAILBREAK!
11. StevenB on February 3rd, 2010

They upgraded the firmware on the 3GS. This is why if you wanted to JB it you had to do a tethered JB
everytime you restarted your phone.

First of all for the iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G, and the newer iPod Touch 2G (model number beginning
with "MC") jailbreaking 3.1.3 is NOT POSSIBLE at the moment.
This is from the statement at the top which states 3GS model also MC. Either that or I'm not reading right.
Please let me know.

That's very fast.

20. Bentot on February 4th, 2010

iTunes 8.2 still OK? What version of iTunes were you using?

21. Cody Overcash on February 4th, 2010

@ bentot, iTunes 9.0.3 was used on OS X

22. Cody Overcash on February 4th, 2010

FYI Windows 7 Users

If you are having trouble with redsn0w crashing right click on redsn0w.exe and then click on
“Properties” switch to “Compatibility” tab and make sure you check “Run this program in
compatibility mode for: Windows XP (Service Pack 3)”

Worked perfectly on my "Non-MC" model iPod 2g! FYI I think the pictures on the guide are a little out of
date. All the steps are correct except the redsn0w version is "0.9.4" not "0.9.2" like in the guide. Thanks

haha Jamal, yeah we took all the screenshots for the guide and then the dev team released 0.9.4. Since all
the steps are the same we figured it would be okay!

26. Obersturmfuhrer on February 5th, 2010

I dont get it, First it says to jailbreak 3.1.3, then in the instructions you have to choose firmware 3.1.2???
WTF is going on here?

27. Cody Overcash on February 5th, 2010

@ obersturmfuhrer

using the resn0w 3.1.2 loophole to jailbreak 3.1.3

28. newwallis on February 6th, 2010

I downloaded a compressed 3.1.2 firmware file for the 2G. The files were extracted and saved. When I
tried to use RedSn0w there was nothing in those files recognizable as 3.1.2 firmware. Is there a special
way to unzip these files? I opened every folder. There were no files *.ipsw. There is a firmware folder
containing the folders"all_flash and dfu. Where do I direct RedSn0w? This phone came to me with
unlocked 3.1.2. My husband updated to 3.1.3 via iTunes. I understand how RedSn0w works. I just need
to know how to feed it the 3.1.2 it needs. Please help. Thank you. I am a PC user Windows XP.

How to Download iPhone and iPod Touch Firmware IPSW with Safari

31. newwallis on February 6th, 2010

Thank you, Cody. I am using a PC with WindowsXP and IE8. I don't have access to
a Mac. Are there special instructions for the PC?
On 2/3 another member,Nytesnypr, commented on the same problem using
Windows7.
I have downloaded the firmware and saved it without extraction. Is there a special
unzip program I should use?
Thank you
