Unlock and Jailbreak iPhone 3Gs 3.1.2 windows

Posted in: Gadgetry News

I just successfully jailbroke and unlocked and activated without a registered sim and i am currently with an unofficial carrier (three). There are many ways you can completly jailbreak and unlock and activate your iphone but the only way you can do so is the ipwnage way (go buy a mac) because this involves making a custom ipsw file (the restore file) which has the same baseband. Well this morning, i successfully went to 3.1.2 on my iphone 3gs with a custom firmware, (note: i do not have a mac, currently on XP).

So lets get started, i just wanted to note that you should preserve your baseband already if you want to successfully unlock again. So check, do you have the old baseband? starting from 4 not 5. If it does start from 5 then you are screwed until someone figures out a new way of unlocking with the different baseband.

Proof it works?

Basically, the custom firmware that have been made have been jailbroken and contain the CYDIA so you can go and install ultrasn0w.

Special Note:

* Download the correct IPSW files from below
* For Windows users open iTunes and hold down the SHIFT key on your keyboard and select RESTORE
* For Mac users open iTunes and hold down the OPTION key on your keyboard and select RESTORE

Also keep in mind that if you already updated your baseband to 05.11.07 then you will not be able to unlock your phone. You will only be able to unlock your phone using ultrasn0w if your baseband is still at 04.26.08)

Does doing the restore delete all your existing apps and contact information?
Comment by Jagmit — November 2, 2009 @ 8:56 pm

Yes it deletes everything and when you complete the restore you can unlock the new feature.

iPhone 3G 3.1.2 Custom Firmware Activated for Other Carriers

Can’t update with iTunes 9.x… Error: Can’t restore

Other file IPSW size 175mb? original ~230-250mb
Comment by somebodycute — November 3, 2009 @ 11:42 am

doesn’t work on my 3gs, the dev team said that you can use it on software out of the box (Note for 3GS users not already jailbroken and stuck at 3.1.x: this version of PwnageTool has a side feature to jailbreak your 3GS. It uses a simple implementation of the usb control msg hole found by chronicdev, geohot, and our very own gray.), but your custom firmware doesn’t work, I know I’m asking A LOT but could you post one that doesn’t preserve the baseband for users who had 3.1 out of the box or who updated officially to 3.1.2 because they don’t need the unlock? thank you, even if you can’t upload that ipsw

Comment by Paradox — November 3, 2009 @ 11:45 am

Just a heads up for everyone about to download. It Works perfect. Im sticking to this firmware for AWHILE. Since alot of apps require 3.1 now.

Hi guys, still getting the same problems as per my earlier post… any help or advice much appreciated.

I have an iPhone 3G 8GB here in the UK on O2 provider. I’ve downloaded custom firmware #3 but I’m having problems using it.

iTunes gets stuck on “preparing iPhone for restore” and stays there for a few minutes before giving an error. I’ve tried different USB ports and several reboots. I’ve also tried holding down power & home, then releasing power when the apple logo appears. Nothing works and it always gets suck on the “preparing iPhone” percentage bar.

Interestingly, this only happens with the custom firmware. If I let iTunes go with the official Apple firmware, it works fine, only staying on “preparing iPhone” for about 20 seconds then happily continuing with restore.

Therefore, it appears the problem is with using the custom firmware in my particular situation. Has anyone ever seen this or got any advice on how I could proceed?

Many Thanks

iPhone 3G 8GB. Windows Vista. iTunes v9.

@ Curtis: Sorry mate, not out yet!! (gotta wait)

@ Divvy: Use the 3G – Activated as its already activated so you dont have to worry about the unlocking thing. (already unlocked for you)…

@ Khalid: i dont know where you got that ipsw file but not even the ipod ipsw is that small. Its around 300MB, and download it off here as people know it works and i can help you only if you downloaded the ipsw from here.

@ somebodycute: Hi, please read properly as i have posted an ACTIVATED VERSION and a NON ACTIVATED VERSION for people who own the carriers and dont want it to be unlocked…..

@ somebodycute: Download the ACTIVATED version.

@ Paradox: Thanks for the feedback.

@ adicts: hmmm, that has not happened with someone else. Try and hold the SHIFT button and click RESTORE. This usually works or what is the firmware on your iDevice?

@ wang: Thanks for the feedback.

@ timp: Thanks for the feedback.

@ streetwise: Yes it will and its called *Baseband*

Apple iPhone 3GS…

Looks like the consensus is about the same across the board. Apple fixed what it needed to fix (for the most part) with the iPhone 3G S (and the 3. 0 OS update) yet.. the iPhone 3G S isn’ t the compelling upgrade that the 3G was. Yup.. you can be sure …

I am to a great extent impressed with the article I have just read. I wish the author of jagmit.com can continue to provide so much practical information and unforgettable experience to jagmit.com readers. There is not much to tell except the following universal truth: When you go to a restaurant and trawl the menu you always end up wanting the meal that the waiter places in front of your date…. I will be back.

Hi, I was wondering, what if i have a 3GS and i’m on 3.1.2, baseband anything starting with 4, would i b able 2 use ur firmware and get a unlocked n jailbroken phone ? Or i would still have to use Blackra1n again and again when i reboot ?

And if i’m on a baseband anything with a 5, what are my options ?

Thanks in advance.
Aj.
