I have iphone 3G currently on os 2.2

I downloaded the firmware 3.0 and redsnow 0.8. When i double click on the redsnow.exe and browse for .ipsw file, redsnow doesn’t recognise it.

I downloaded it way back when 3.0 came out from itunes (so the files fine), just didn’t upgrade.

My question is, does the phone have to be on 3.0 for redsnow to recognise the .ipsw? or its just my pc’s problem, coz i cannot afford to upgrade and not jailbreak as i need the unlock.

First of all I want to thank you for the great tutorial. I managed to update my iPhone 3G to 3.0 and Jailbreak it using redsn0w ver 0.8, unfortunately after the jailbreak, for some reason I can no longer access the internet, even with my wifi. Any information would be really appreciated. Thank you

I downloaded and installed the FW as directed onto my 3G.

It’s stuck at:
– “Downloading Jailbreak Data” on phone
– “Uploading Kernel” on laptop

It’s been there for about an hour now.

Then all of a sudden, my iphone turned off… and the screen is blank!!

But the screen on the computer is the exact same!!

And it’s been stuck there for a while now.

Never mind my other post, got i working now.

All i did was:

1. downgraded the iphone using iTunes 9.2 til FW 3.0.1

2. ignored the 1015 error.

3. rebooted the device.

4. used redsn0w with FW 3.0 to JB (remember cydia)

5. used cydia to DL ultrasn0w and unlocked.

6. used fuzzyband to downgrade bandbase from 5.08 to 4.26.08

i did this a couple of times, before it worked. i recoment that you use iRecovery to clear the device if it dosent work.

Now that was my brothers phone.

my own phone have bandbase 5.09, which is a pain.
I have an old ‘Mr. Unlocking’ SIM card addon chip, i tryed with it the ultrasn0w unlock, and it did something that allowed me to see my serviceproviders, which i coundt seen before. besides that no change what so ever.

ill just have to wait til the devs update fuzzy to DG 5.09 but i use skype with wifi at home and at work, which its okay, while i wait.

thx to Vinay and devs for taking time to help us

I did the exact steps everything worked fine until I got to step 6. It was stuck on that page, wasn’t doing anything for a while. I have the redsn0w 0.8
How can I fix this problem?
