You could always make the .ipsw in OS X and then copy it to Windows :)

Find a friend with OS X if you have to do without. :p

Windows JailbreaK 3.1

Just managed to do it….secret id if you upgraded to 3.1 it wont work..you must downgrade back to 3.0 (which is the tricky part), follow http://www.redmondpie.com/downgrade-iphone-3.1-to-3.0.1/

Jail break using redsn0w..then proceed as above..ive done mine and 2 friends phones ..no problems..

Its a bit tricky , but i’m no IT wizard, just read the instructions and go for it….

Hi Peter

ok looks like the instructions are clear and simple...but do you need to re-jailbreak after all of the instructions or does the custom 3.1 have cydia etc?? and also finding that some custom 3.1 have simple mode and expert mode..which is best and whats the diffrence between the two?

I think the only reason they arent posting it because its copyright material?

Not sure but I think thats why (talking about the ipsw)

When you downgrade back to 3.0 or 3.0.1 you must jailbreak using redsn0w.
You can then upgrade to 3.1 using the custom 3.1 firmware and your phone will remain jailbroke...

Yes, the .ipsw files are copyrighted by Apple. The Dev-Team creates tools to modify these files, tools which are not illegal; but distributing modified (or even original) .ipsw files could give Apple a legal case against them. The Dev-Team's motto is "patch, don't pirate" because it gives them legal protection from any attempts Apple might make to shut them down.
