I was looking around the forums and couldn't find what to do, but I have an iphone 3g on 3.1.3 and tried using redsn0w to jailbreak to ios 4.0, but during the downloading jailbreak data part the iphone would restart without cydia installed. I was looking around and was wondering whether I needed to upgrade to a stock version of 4.01 then jailbreak to 4.01 from that point. Thank you for your responses.
Got a tip for us?

Redsn0w does not upgrade firmware. You can either upgrade to 4.0.1 and then jailbreak with redsn0w, or create/obtain a custom 4.0 firmware made with PwnageTool and upgrade directly to a jailbroken 4.0.
Thank you for the response, but I don't think that I can create a custom 4.0 ipsw for the 3g only the 3gs. If I upgrade the 3g to 4.0.1 using stock firmware then can I jailbreak to 4.0.1 because I don't know if the current version of redsn0w supports 4.0.1. I'm trying to unlock the 3g to sell it for a iphone 4. thank you for your responses
