Jailbreak and Unlock iPhone 2G OS 3.1.3 with Redsn0w
Apple unexpectedly released a firmware 3.1.3. With this new release, Apple update the baseband of the iPhone 3G and 3Gs and as usual the iPhone 2G baseband is unchanged. You can do this guide on any iPod, and on the iPhone EDGE aka iPhone 2G. Procedure is same like you jailbreaked your iPhone 2G 3.1.2 with a little change described below.
Download for iPhone Jailbreak
- Windows Version
- Mac Version
- iPhone OS 3.1.3 Download Here
- iPhone OS 3.1.2 Download Here
Step 1. If you have not already, download the original firmware 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 on the desktop of your computer. In case of unlocking an iPhone EDGE, be sure you also have the two files Bootloader: bl39.bin and bl46.bin
Step 2. Connect the iPhone to PC or Mac and update your iPhone 2G to firmware 3.1.3
Step 3. Launch the application and click on Browse. Select the original firmware 3.1.2 [select 3.1.2 not the 3.1.3] from the desktop of your computer and then click on Next
Step 4. It will start an automatic process (and very fast) which will be downloaded and patched the kernel.
Following a new screen will appear. Cydia is already selected.
- Install Cydia: Main reason why we jailbreak iPhone.
- Verbose Boot: Will allow you to replace the boot with the apple (boot chart) with the verbose mode, or the ability to see everything that is loaded at startup;
- Custom Boot Logo: Bore with classic apple startup, change with your face or whatever else. Size should be 320X480.
- Recovery Custom Logo: A logo that will replace the classic Recovery;
- Already Pwned: Select if you want to install the verbose boot or change the boot and recovery logos on an iPhone on which has already been to jailbreak;
Step 5. Now you will be asked to put the iPhone in Recovery Mode (iPhone 3GS) or DFU (the other iPhone / iPod).
How to put your iPhone in recovery mode :
- Turn the device completely off and disconnect it from cable/dock.
- Hold down the home button.
- While holding down the home button connect to a computer with a cable (easiest) or dock.
- Keep holding down the home button until you see a connect-to-iTunes screen You are now in recovery mode.
To escape Recovery Mode and power the phone off simply hold down power and home buttons for ten seconds.
How to put your iPhone in DFU mode :
- Connect your iPhone to your computer.
- Turn iPhone off.
- Hold power and home together for 10 seconds (exactly).
- Release power but keep holding home until the computers beeps (observed on a PC) as a USB device is recognized.
- A few seconds later iTunes should detect your iPhone.
- If the Restore Logo is present on the screen, you are in Recovery Mode, not DFU.
Step 6. Once you are in recovery mode/dfu mode redsn0w will start another automated process to complete the Jailbreak.

Hi, I had an iphone 2g 3.1.2 – i used blackra1n, cydia, and bootneuter. I jailbreaked. But after I ran bootneuter it said TMobile in the corner but only said “Connect to Itunes”. I then connected to itunes to restore it, but accidentally upgraded to 3.1.3. My baseband is 04.05.04, and when I put the Tmobile card in it still says TMobile in the corner and “Connect to Itunes”. WHAT DO I DO NOW??? RUN BLACKRA1N AGAIN? OR RUN REDSNOW?? PLEASE HELP!

How is my phone supposed to look after beeing unlocked/jailbroken with redsnow/ blackrain? I ran redsnow first and than blackrain it did not seem as any of the hacks worked because my screen looks the same as always. Than when I changed to my T-mobile sim card it is obviously unlocked and I do have the apple applications store still…….can I have managed to unlock and not jailbreak, is that possible?
Thanks for any help I can get!

How long does it take to update iPhones OS through iTunes?
I have an unlocked iphone 2G with firmware version 2.1 .I use Tmobile SIM. Can I use the instructions on this page to update my iphone to 3.1.3 without losing the unlock?
Thanks
Thanks a lot! I could able to unlock my 2g iphone is on 3.1.3 firmware… thanks again
Thank you so much! I upgraded to 3.1.3 from 3.0 with an unlocked 1st gen Iphone through Itunes and screwed everything up until I downloaded redsnow used 3.1.3 restore.. works like magic! 5 min later… I have a virgin
Followed the instructions did not work for me. After a few hours of trying to sort out the wifes old iphone edge I finally got it to work.
If you have followed the instructions above then you will have all the ispw files down including the basebands.
Basically go DFU mode on iphone, itunes will require u to restore. Keep shift down and press the retore button. Select the 3.1.2 firmware and it should complete.
Once complete retored your iphone edge download Blackra1n.exe.
Run Blackra1n.exe and follow the instructions. Ensure that iphone is turned on for Blackra1n to work.
Everything is automated. In minutes my iphone edge was unlocked and jailbroken. If you do not see Cydia or Rock dun worry. Click on the blackra1n application and you can install it from inside.
Did i mention wireless works fine.
Hope this helps anyone having problems with unlocking and jailbraking iphone edge. Good luck… and enjoy!
Thanks Folks…
I’ve updated my iPhone 2G to 3.1.3 and it works like charm…
Thanks for your contributions….

Thanks for your video i spent half the night trying to unlock my 2g on 3.1.3 but when i got to the part where you put it in dfu mode it wouldnt go it kept going into recovery mode. after several hours i decided to call it a night and try again fresh after work. after one of my usual middle of the night trips to the restroom i noticed my iphone was flashing on the desk in the dark so i went to check it out and discovered the power button was sticking and the phone was coming on and turning off in the boot up so the little apple kept going on and off. which is why i couldnt get into dfu mode since it wouldnt power off. it kept turning back on before i could get it in dfu mode. anyway my husband fixed the power button and i sat down at my pc for another try and FIVE minutes later my phone was unlocked! YAY!!!!
I do have one problem, I cant get MMS to work any suggestions?
I have a 2G and followed the instuctions to upgrade OS 3.1.3 in redsnow, but I faced the problem is that my phone is in “wait” and could not continue. I tried to restore on older version, but the phone is still same problem, redsnow didn’t continue and wait for something. Can anyone please help? Thanks
It worked like a charm.Now I have an iPhone 2G with the GoPhone service of AT&T.
Thank you
I just got an old (2g) phone running 3.1.2, already jailbroken and unlocked (T-Mobile). It already has about 70 apps, some from the Apple store some from Cydia. If I upgrade using the instuctions above what happens to the apps? Are they deleted? Will iTunes restore the Apple apps? Since iTunes has done a back up will it be able to restore the non-Apple apps? Any help would be appreciated.
pls dos redsn0w takes time on “waiting for reboot”
My history is like this: I ran 3.1.2, then an update came with Rock! that crashed my phone (I think all files in /sbin was removed), so I restored the phone, to 3.1.3. D*mn. My SIM didn’t work anymore. Then I downgraded to 3.1.2 again. All works fine. iTunes says I am running 3.1.2 again.
HOWEVER – I have one slight problem
My phone can not get a lock on the carrier.
Anyone knows a fix for this?
Didn’t 3.1.2 “upgrade” fix the baseband?
/Hubie
thank u very much!!! it worked like charm!!!!!!!!
jailbreak and unlock
I have an apple iphone 2G running which accidentally got upgraded to 3.1.3. It was a jailbroken and unlocked iphone and now it is stuck at the ‘emergency’ calls only screen. I am able to make and receive calls but nothing else works. When I connect to itunes it says that the ‘sim is incorrect’. Could someone kindly guide me as to what shall I be doing in this case. I tried the above mentioned steps but redsn0w 0.9.4 says ‘rest of the process takes place on your device’ and my iphone screen goes blue for sometime, reboots and comes back to the previous ‘emergency calls’ screen. Please help!!
@ madhulika
