Okay, so I'm getting really frustrated with this whole deal. My phone crashed so I was forced to update my jailbroken iphone to the new 3.1.3 firmware. Everything I've read on all the forums and everything say I should be able to jailbreak it again.

I have an IPhone 3Gs with the 3.1.3 firmware an MB model number and a 359.3 bootrom. From everything I have read I have all the right things to jailbreak but nothing seems to work.

I've tried blackra1n redsn0w and am currently trying sn0wbreeze and nothing works.

Am I missing something?

jailbreak with redsn0w using a 3.1.2 ipsw file and you will have a jailbroken 3.1.3 iPhone thats how i did my 3g and had no issues and seems to be the main way to go going off a lot of videos I've seen on youtube, if you need unlocking you will be stuck.... plus sn0wbreeze sucks I tried it once and iTunes doesn't like the ipsw it produces

and you weren't forced to update to 3.1.3 :p you could of shift clicked and pointed to a 3.1.2 3gs ipsw file :p:p

He has a 3GS, not 3G

If you restored (or updated) to 3.1.3, you cannot jailbreak or unlock with a 3GS.

Don't know where you would of read that you could ??

sorry I forgot about the whole ipsw file signing thing, but if he has 3.1.3 installed on iPhone the 3.1.2 ipsw file with redsn0w would work? I thought MB 3gs devices could?

isn't there a work around for the ipsw signing? thought I seen something about the host file and blocking apple or something

Once you have 3.1.3 on a 3GS phone, the USB hack used by redsn0w (and all other jailbreaking tools) is patched. The only way to jailbreak a 3GS on 3.1.3 is to downgrade to 3.1.2, and that can only be done if you have your SHSH saved so you can spoof the signature server.
