Author: dexxter  //  Category: Firmware 3.0.1, Hacks, Jailbreak, Redsn0w, Unlock

Apple released iPhone OS 3.0.1 to fix a serious SMS vulnerability in the iPhone OS where your iPhone can be completely taken over by receiving a maliciously crafted SMS message.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to jailbreak iPhone OS 3.0.1 in the same way you would jailbreak iPhone OS 3.0 with redsn0w.

Please follow these instructions clearly and you’ll be a-o-k. Now, before we begin you may notice that we use the iPhone OS 3.0 IPSW to jailbreak our iPhone OS 3.0.1 device, this is no mistake. When you get asked to select the iPhone firmware you have installed then choose the iPhone OS 3.0 IPSW. Please make sure you have updated your device to 3.0.1 by either updating officially via iTunes or restoring via iTunes. Keep in mind that restoring your iPhone will erase your iPhone’s content. Also, please don’t mind the screenshots saying redsn0w version 0.72 – Use the latest redsn0w version, it’ll be the same as the screenshots below.

Note: We are not responsible if your device blows up in the middle of the jailbreak process (it wont) or if your device doesn’t turn on after using this. Use, strictly, at your own risk!

  1. First is first, download redsn0w here (for Windows) or here (for Mac OS X)
  2. Second, Download iPhone OS 3.0 or whatever firmware you’ll be using to jailbreak – here
  3. Alright, now that you have the starting materials downloaded and on your desktop, fire up redsn0w
  4. Click browse and search for the iphone/ipod touch ipsw. In this case, we’re using the iPhone1,2 3.0 restore ipsw)
  5. Redsn0w will then process your ipsw and identify the ipsw
  6. After, redsn0w will prepare data required to jailbreak your device
  7. Redsn0w will ask you if you want to install Cydia or Icy or both or neither. Tick the box if you would like to install them or untick if not.
  8. After you got that done, redsn0w will ask you to turn off your device. (Press and hold down the power button on your device until you see the slide to power off screen and slide to shut down the device) *NOTE* Make sure your device is turned OFF and plugged IN
  9. Redsn0w will then guide you through entering your device into DFU mode
  10. Your device will then reboot then redsn0w will start uploading the jailbreak data onto your device
  11. Once redsn0w is uploading the data onto your device, you’re done! You will then notice images on your device, don’t touch the device till all the images are gone
