SOMEONE PLEASE HELP EXPLAIN THIS TO ME:
So Apple sent me a refurb 3GS this past Tuesday, I activated the phone through iTunes to firmware 4.0...it has the old bootrom as the buildweek number is 22.
The description for sn0wbreeze says your 3gs has to be jailbroken ALREADY for this to install properly.
Since my phone isn't jailbroken right now...what are my options?
Do I have to wait for a jailbreak that will work for the phones with the new bootrom?
How can I jailbreak this thing?
3GS on 4.0 using Windows.
Thanks in advance everyone!
You cant right now.
You have to wait for a new jailbreak tool for 4.0
You will not be able to downgrade since you dont have shshs saved for this iphone thru cydia.
I'm having no luck with my 3GS either, I get error 1604. I had 3.1.2 jb on it until I upgraded to 4.0GM when it came out and now it seems only possible to get 4.0 jb (from a PC) if we are running an earlier jb os. When is Limera1n or a new Spirit coming along?
Come to think of it, what does spirit do differently to Blackra1n (apart from 3.1.3 support) that doesn't allow 4.0 jb via sn0wbreeze?
I realise this post implies that I ignored the old bootrom warning but I just thought I'd try it.
You just felt like waisting your time right
