Hi i´m downloading the restore files but i dont get the ipsw file i get a lot of different files

How can i get the file from the zip you guys suggest to download it

thanks!

no wifi...greyed out..please help

Good! Following the instructions i done it well by Redsn0w 0.9.5b5-5(win) and iPhone1,2_4.0.1_8A306_Restore.ipsw . Now i am free!Thanks.

In step 8, you need to select the iPhone1,2_4.0_8A293_Restore.ipsw firmware file rather than the iPhone1,2_4.0.1_8A306_Restore.ipsw file even if you are trying to jailbreak iOS 4.0.1. In the earlier steps, you have already restored your iPhone with iOS 4.0.1.

OK, I&#39m confused. I have 4.0.1 on my iPhone so iTunes will not load the 4.0 onto my phone. So the only option is for me to load 4.0.1 and then try to load 4.0.1 into redsn0w? Or are you suggesting for me to update my iPhone with 4.0.1 restore and then in redsn0w open 4.0 instead?! I thought I was suppose to use the _current_ phone firmware ?

Thank you.

Redsn0w 0.9.5b5-5 for Mac does not recognize the iPhone1,2_4.0.1_8A306_Restore.ipsw firmware. I followed the instructions and I get the firmware not recognized error in redsn0w. iTunes will restore my 3G iPhone to the firmware just fine but once I&#39m suppose to open the firmware in redsn0w it fails!!! Has anyone had any luck with 4.0.1 firmware?

At this point it seems that redsn0w is broken for 4.0.1

In step 8, you need to use the iOS 4.0 firmware file.

I still get the same error where redsnow 0.9.5b5-5 is not able to recognize the 4.0.1 ipsw? I followed the instructions for the 4.0.1 and it&#39s not working. Are you suggesting we use 4.0 instead or is 4.0.1 suppose to work somehow?

me too, I&#39ve unlocked and jailbroken the phone about 3 times and everything else works fine but I cant make or recieve calls or messages, it says call failed.

Any help?

Riddle me this, Batman... Why does my 3G running iOS4.0 (8A293) with Modem Firmware 05.13.04 on iTunes 9.2 on a Mac always show the dreaded "this device isn&#39t eligible for the requested build" message when I try to restore to iPhone1,2_4.0_8A293_Restore.ipsw? I don&#39t get it. Everything worked about a month ago for my same, exact iPhone and now won&#39t work for my wife&#39s. Did something change? Should I upgrade to 4.0.1 and try again? A little help please...

Ok, I&#39m following the instructions, and I restored the phone, and it showed the same thing "The SIM card inserted... is not supported". I made it so it shows the options to update or restore again. Trying to select the IPSW, it says "unable to recognize specified IPSW". WHyyyy? =/

Nevermind, looked elsewhere and found my answer =)

I cannot get past step 5 because when I select my iPhone 3g from the left menu, all it says is "The SIM card inserted in this phone does not appear to be supported", since I already updated (that&#39s how I found out I lost my jailbreak... good job, me). Help??

does the data and mms work for 4.0.1? Please let me know!!

i think that you should reset your network setting. i did it and it work for me. go to setting then general then reset then reset network settings.

hi James this also happened to me put i fixed it. you have to open cydia then go to manage

then sources then look for iphonemodding click on it look for push fix and install it and this will fix youtube.

It doesnt look corrected. Just used ios4.0.1 ipsw with redsn0w 0.9.5b5-5 and it is not able to recognize like reported by schländer.

any idea?

Jailbroken and unlocked the 3G, everything working except from Youtube. It says "cannot connect to youtube". Any ideas what has happened?

i installed 4.0.1 and then tried to load it on redsn0w and i recieved an error, now i see that 4.0.1 wont work with redsn0w but now 4.0 wont restore onto my iphone. what to do?

it does not load,says not compatable with this device,also will only let me choose the iTune back up?

After JB, i have no internet connection. Can anybody help?

But then you don&#39t get IOS4.0.1 on the iphone but 4.0!

Thanks for pointing out the mistake, we have corrected it.

redsn0w 0.9.5b5-5 does not work in combination with ios4.0.1 ipsw...it says: unable to recognize...bla...solution: use ios4.0 ipsw for redsn0w at step 8! that worked for me!

how to reformat iPhone ?

cos when finish upgraded ios4, go to cydia showing "waring-running out space..." old stuff will delete automaticity ?

when i open redsnow and search for the ipsw it keeps saying that ipsw is not compatible???? does anyone else have this problem?

so if i do this will it work 100% with no errors???...please reply asap!!!!...>.<

I have an iPhone 3G running 4.0, and when I try to restore from the firmware in the Pwnage folder I get an error message, "The iPhone could not be restored because the firmware file is not compatible".

What do I do? Is there a work around?

Please help, thanks.

I think readers might also be interested in reading this article "iOS 4 Upgrade Guide: Install iOS 4 on Your iPhone" first to learn how to upgrade your iPhone or iPod Touch to Apple&#39s new iOS 4.

Im using a Mac. Everytime i try to download the ipsw file it downloads one in a .ipsw format with no data in it and then another in a .part format that seems to have all of the data in it. Any answers?

took mien 9 minutes to reboot...

was able to jailbreak but the iphone 3g is not activated...everything else seems to be working fine except i can&#39t make or receive calls...what do i need to do? thanks!

I&#39ve Jailbroken my iOS 4.0 about 3 times now and once i instlal one thing from Cydia my phone goes into Safe Mode... N E 1 else runnin into this same problem?

will this did not work back to the evil empire

hey my phone will not shut down by the slide off switch

it just turns off i think so when i hold down the power button i go thru the remaining steps and th phone will not reboot download jailbreak data with spinning wheel at bottum i am on at&t is this ok

I&#39m stuck o step 6 too..iphone 3G iso4...when i click restore, it does not give me the choose option.

step 6 wont work

My iphone isn&#39t rebooting... step 14

is it still doing that?

yup no answer, what else is new

Do I restore via iTunes after I download the Jailbreak Data?

Mine is doing the same... been in the screen "Downloading Jailbreak Data" for quite some time now.

Did you find a solution?

even though no one ever answers my post&#39s im gonna put this on here anyways, i was wondering if someone with a little knowledge could look at this post bc i did everything correct but it wont let me do this even though this guy is saying it works. http://modmyi.com/forums/pwnage/716740-howto-3gs-spirit-jailbreak-ios4-sn0wbreeze.html

You will have to redo the process.

If you already used Redsn0w 0.9.5b5-4 and the MMS is not working, is there a way to install the 0.9.5bb-3 to resolve the MMS issue?

lol i am still at 3,1,3 with 05.12.01

and i think i will stick with it. I allready have multitasking and probly everything same and even more then ios4 has to offer. and it seems they still don&#39t have jailbrake for it

There seems to be a bug in Redsn0w 0.9.5b5-4, which is causing this issue. So if you want MMS, you can try using the previous version of Redsn0w, Redsn0w 0.9.5b5-3. We have updated the post with the download links.

mine is saying "downloading jailbreak data..." for a looong time

does anybodies mms not work..mines isnt

great tutorial. but where is the 3GS New Bootrom guides/ hacks/ jailbreaks? This is the worst f*ckin tease ever!
