[How To] Jailbreak Your iPhone. (5.1.1)

[orangekid]

it does come later, but with Spirit being out, rednow already JB the 3G and pwnage tool able to JB it on 3.1.2 I honestly just feel like it will be very soon.

Before they were holding on to patches like the 5.12.01 baseband unlock etc... but now its balls to the walls to JB the iPhone 4 and the 3GS and it seems to me it will be there any day now.

I don't think its legit

[orangekid]

its valid only for the old boot rom. to find out your boot rom version go to settings then about. under model number if it says MC you have the new bottom and this will not work. if you did an official ios4 upgrade then you have the new boot rom.

alright so i found out i have the old bootrom by seeing my model which is MB, also checked by DFU mode...so i went ahead and followed those directions but when i attempt to restore the custom ipsw made by snowbreeze i keep getting an error message.

While the iphone 3GS is in recovery mode i get error 1604 and if i have in it DFU mode i get error message 1600. what am i missing? HELP please!

the bootrom is a failsafe system designed by apple on the 3GS to inhibit anyone from downgrading their OS. it makes sure you cannot install a firmware lower than your current one, nor a custom firmware. They had an exploit in the old one, but the new one is patched so u cannot downgrade the bootrom nor the OS till they handle the new one

are you getting that error on the phone or the pc? sometimes the error is normal . just use my how to guide on getting out of restore in iphone general forums using the attached program. you should be god to go. let me know

The error message is on the computer i had to restore to a OS4 ipsw but i still have the old bootrom. I have not been able to jailbreak like other instructions around the web state so I am basically just waiting for an easier way to jailbreak it when released.

I have found articles stating that the iphone 4 was jailbroken already a similar way to how spirit works so I am assuming they are getting closer to actually releasing a jailbreak.

[orangekid]

well, to do that they had to use some Apple code, and that is illegal since Apple owns the rights to their proprietary code, so thay cannot publicly release a Jailbreak.

If you def. Have to old bootrom then PwnageTool should work for you, I didn't include instructions for it in my How To because it gets a little complicated, but maybe I ought to just to help those who have a 3GS on an old bootrom.
