We had previously written on Jailbreak iPhone 3G 3GS on 3.1.3 iOS4 , but since there was no real solution for the devices on new bootrom the only option was to wait. There was also a option to Jailbreak the New Bootrom iOS4 or 3.1.3 devices but that was a tethered jailbreak which required you to have the SHSH Blobs stored from the previous version on your computer. But now the final release of Jailbreakme.com is going to allow you to even Jailbreak iPhone 3G & iPhone 3GS with new bootrom within seconds because this is a Browser based tool which will download the files directly to your device through your device and jailbreak it.
The main reason to use different tools like Redsn0w, Ultrasn0w, Pwnagetool etc is that you should be able to install the Cydia Application.
- Step 1 : Run the iTunes application and backup all your files like Photos, Videos, Apps, Contacts, Music etc because this can help in restoring the same.
- Step 2 : Start updating your device to the latest firmware through the iTunes by directly clicking on the update option or else restoring one of the latest downloaded version
- Step 3 : Next Enable the ‘Airplane Mode’ in your device and then Enable the Wifi to connect to the internet network because in case of carrier based 3G connection there would be disconnections while file transfer.
- Step 4 : Tap on the Safari browser in your iPhone 3G 3GS & iPhone 4 and navigate to the website http://jailbreakme.com
- Step 5 : Tap on the ‘Slide to Jailbreak’ message to get started with the process.
- Step 6: After a few minutes of wait the jailbreak tool will start downloading the required files to your device.
- Step 7 : Once the downloading of all the files in completed you will find that the jailbreak process will automatically start and you will have to do nothing at this point because this release the simplest one.
- Step 8 : The Cydia installer would be downloaded to your device and will be added to your Home Screen.
Read our article on Purple Screen Error and how you can fix it. Run it once and the device in Jailbroken, next read our next article Unlock iPhone 3G 3GS on iOS 4.0.1 after Jailbreak to use your device with any carrier now.

mR. i gott the idea ! But my 3gs new bootrom, it’s not jailbreaked yet (because of non-saved shsh.s) so how can i access the safari app. ?!!!
Prasad says
I dont understand your qn. Safari can be accessed on non jailbroken phones.
Prasad says
If you are struck at connect to iTunes to activate screen, then you better use Phonebook card and then follow these steps.
Cahluma says
So you are saying that, for sure is needed an official SIM card in order to complete the jailbreak ?! In case I can’t find it, the problem will remain still the same.
Thanks guys
Amit Bhawani says
There is no need for the official SIM to complete this proceed. Just wait for our next article which will help in unlocking your device too.
Prasad says
When is the next available? meanwhile there is a card called Phonebook card which you can get from eBay or some other store. If you insert that card you can start your phone and use safari.
Cahluma says
ok, i understand ! thanks a lot to you guys
Confused says

Amit Bhawani says
Try the alternative url we have provided because the servers are over loaded.

Amit Bhawani says
Just Download the Firmware iOS4 latest one – http://www.amitbhawani.com/blog/download-apple-iphone-firmware/ or else directly through iTunes which will lock the device to the Original Factory settings. Next you will be able to access the Safari Browser through which you can implement the above steps.
Note : I personally tried the above tutorial on Apple iPhone 3GS new bootrom with iOS4.0.1
