You have an old bootrom 3Gs. These devices where made from the introduction of the 3Gs to about mid November 2009 at which point the bootrom exploit was fixed and because of the age of these devices, they are becoming harder to find in working condition. This exploit is the last publicly known untethered exploit. It allows the old bootrom 3Gs devices to always have an untethered jailbreak, no matter the iOS version. It also allows for other things like true bootlogos and verbose boot mode.
