Jailbreak 3.0.1 Firmware

It’s pretty easy to jailbreak 3.0.1. You can use redsnow but you just point it towards 3.0 firmware file when it asks for it. This update only fixes the SMS exploit that was recently announced. Here’s the official word from the Dev Team:
Short version:
You can re-use redsn0w v0.8 we released a few weeks ago to jailbreak today’s 3.0.1 update. Just let iTunes update or restore you to official 3.0.1 then run redsn0w. The only “trick” is that when redsn0w asks you to identify the IPSW used, point it at the 3.0 IPSW instead of the 3.0.1 one. After the jailbreak, reinstall ultrasn0w 0.9 if you need the unlock.
More details:
The 3.0.1 release is a “branch” from 3.0 that occurs (code-wise) before all the 3.1 betas. The programs redsn0w needs to change for the jailbreak are identical when you compare the 3.0 and 3.0.1 versions. It seems pretty much the only changes Apple made were for the SMS bug, which affects programs that redsn0w doesn’t touch. That’s why you can re-use redsn0w 0.8 on 3.0.1 even though it was written for 3.0.
And since 3.0.1 doesn’t touch the baseband either, ultrasn0w 0.9 works for those needing the soft unlock. Just install it from the repo666.ultrasn0w.com repository using Cydia as usual.
We’ll at some point fix redsn0w to recognize both 3.0 and 3.0.1 IPSW’s, but really that’s the only change that would be made to it. Everything else would be identical, so there’s no need to wait for the “proper” version that recognizes the 3.0.1 IPSW as valid.

Or you can wait a week like Saurik has advised until he releases his tool to make upgrading the firmware less of a headache to jailbroken users

I have updated to the 3.1 beta, but now I could update to the 3.0.1 FW in iTunes. Would I be able to jailbreak the Phone? I don’t need the unlock because my iPhone is from Italy and already unlocked, so it’s not important that my baseban has already been updated.
Thanks

Yes you can jailbreak it, use redsn0w but select the 3.0 firmware and you should be cool
TheBaldEagle on August 1st, 2009 4:12 am:
Hey also let me know how you get on with downgrading the firmware will you?
Can i unlock/jailbreak this using an iphone 1st generation???

yes u can make sure u point firmware 3.0 when it ask as it mention above. its just like jailbreaking and unlocking 3.0 using redsnow.
Mary on August 1st, 2009 1:20 pm:
but suppose you don’t want to unlock and only jailbreak? pwnagetool?

If your on 3gs you must wait for sarik jailbreak tool

What about 3.1 on the Mac?
[Reply]
It was not easy!
There are two missing things here:
1 – you will need to point to the original (not customized) firmware file from Apple
2 – Once the redsn0w.app says “waiting for reboot”, you DO need to umplug and plug again the cable. This way the redsn0w.app continuos to work.
Now, my iPhone 3G is working properly through a hacked 3.0.1 firmware

Went smoothly after this.

HI ,
When i using Redsnow v8.0 with iphone1,2_3.0_7A341_restore.ipsw
it’s saying “Unable to recognize ISPW”
please advice
Regi on August 15th, 2009 6:50 am:
Hi Jidaa! It’s because you are not using the SAME firmware you have installed in your device.
vzoli73 on August 25th, 2009 6:59 pm:

I am having the same problem so instead of downloading the iphone 3.0 firmware i’m trhying the one that says iphone 3g 3.0
there’s a difference in the file names. the one i downloaded starts with iPhone1,1_ and the other one starts with iPhone1,2_
Thank Your for your reply. Could you please let me know if this works for you and where to get this fw if in fact it does work for you?

Thanks Regi for that KEY PIECE OF INFO – unplug the iPhone on the Reboot Screen, then plug it back in. Worked just fine for me even with the IPSW 1, 2_3.0_7A341_restore.ipsw and Version 3.01.

Also, once you get to the unlocking stage, check out this video (short and sweet) about what to do http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRkDnjWOA0U#

Hi Mike! Thak you also to confirm that this works for you also. Hugs!
hi
Im getting unable to recognize specified ipsw message whene i want to jailbreak my 3.0.1 FW.
i use custom FW.3 for jailbreaking
[Reply]
I did everything and it went well all the way to the end. (3GS with 3.0.1, etc) I have cydia installed but when I select it, it immediately crashes. Did I miss something in the jb process? I did not receive any errors or issues other than cydia not running, just have the icon sitting on the phone.

In regards to my post on Aug. 11th. I decided to try this again using the exact same redsnow and 3.0.ispw I had originally tried to use. Only difference is that I put the .ispw on the desktop. Ran redsnow v8 again and everything worked perfect. I did have to browse to the software on the desktop.
Also, not one of my themes were working before (black background). Now all themes are working as well.
So, I suppose if you have this problem, just keep trying every so often until redsnow recognizes the 3.0 .ispw. Don’t forget to put it on the desktop.
