Just did this on a 3GS running 3.0.1, used firmware 3.0 and redsn0w 0.8 on Windows 7 with iTunes 9.0.3 (not that the iTunes version seems to matter), all worked perfectly, thanks!

@SOFC:

I just did this on 3Gs running 3.0.1 with no issues -

First, I had the USB cable plugged into my laptop but NOT connected to the iPhone (which was already powered off). Then I began the process (BTW make sure you have iTunes fully updated, if for no other reason than to eliminate it as a possible cause of your worries).

At step 4 I selected only Cydia, clicked next, and was brought to step 5. I pressed down the “Home” button (aka the bottom circle button on your iPhone) and, keeping it depressed with a death grip, I then attached the USB cable to the iPhone. It fired up, then went right into “Connecting to iTunes” (represented visually with a graphic of a USB connection). At that point I let go of the button and everything pretty much fell into place magically.

Maybe this micro-breakdown will help you solve your problem, maybe not. No matter – good luck!

Hi,
Let me first thank you for your effort.
I am trying to ‘JailBreak’ (and later unlock) my IPhone and getting lost after step4.
As described, “Connect to Itunes” does not show up at step 5, even though I am holding down the “Home” button of my PC, I do not see any thing getting installed/any thing happening…

IPhone 3Gs
Version 3.0(7A341)
Model: MB717LL
Modem firmware: 04.26.08

Any ideas as to what am I missing here? Please advise.

@Sebastion: I jailbroke my iPhone 3GS firmware 3.0.1 with Redsn0w, and I followed all the directions and it finished the way it was supposed to.

I went into Cydia and downloaded Bite SMS, which required a reboot. When it rebooted, it turned off, and doesn’t turn back on. Whenever I try to turn it on, the apple logo appears, but it turns right back off.

Why is this happening and what can I do to fix it??
