I figured making a tool would take a bit too long. So, i'm going to write up this tutorial. It isn't recommended for regular users.Here's a video to See it in action, credits for iH8sn0w:
**BEFORE PROCEEDING, ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE YOUR iPod/PHONE BACKED UP!**
THIS TUTORIAL ASSUMES YOU ARE ALREADY ON 3.1.2!
Q: Why not 3.1.3???
A: The exploit used is closed in 3.1.3 and beyond.
-------
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
* An iPhone 3G[S] or iPod Touch 2G MC or iPod Touch 3-- new bootrom
* 3.1.2 already installed or 3.1.2 installed via SHStarget="_blank"H blobs. <-- Broken blackra1n'd devices will work. (Especially if Spirit messed you up!).
* Payload Pwner-r6
* sn0wbreeze V1.7
* iBooty V1.6
* 3.1.2/4.0 firmware downloaded.
* iTunes 9.2 Installed
-------
STEP A : Pwning iBoot
I : Download this easy tool here -- Payload Pwner-r6 // It will help you create the payload.
II : Extract it to a directory and run Pwner.exe
target="_blank"
**SAVE THE PAYLOAD WHERE iBooty is.**
-------
STEP B : Making a Custom IPSW
I : Download sn0wbreeze V1.7 from here -- sn0wbreeze V1.7
II : USE EXPERT MODE!
III : In General, Checkmark "Disable NOR Flash" <-- THIS IS ESSENTIAL!!!!
IV : Build it. It will be on your Desktop.
**CUSTOM BOOT LOGOS THAT ARE MADE IN sn0wbreeze WILL NOT WORK ON NEW BOOTROMS!**
*Mac Users : PwnageTool does not have this option. I don't think it will ever be in there. Use a Windows Virtual Machine or friends PC to create your firmware.*
-------
STEP C: iBooty Prep.
Most of you know of the utility "iBooty" that I made for Aki_nG.
It will work as long as you place all of the correct files there.
I : Download iBooty GUI here -- iBooty V1.6 and Extract it.
II : Extract your Custom IPSW created by sn0wbreeze with 7-Zip or another un-archiver.
III : Grab the kernelcache and bring it into the same folder as ibooty.
Also grab iBEC from the folder "Firmware\dfu".
Aswell as DeviceTree from the folder "Firmware\all_flash\all_flash.n88ap.production\DeviceTree.n88ap".
IV :
* Rename your Kernel 4.0-Custom to "kernel.40"
* Rename your iBEC 4.0-Custom to "ibec.40"
* Rename your DeviceTree 4.0-Custom to "devtree.40"
***MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THE .img3/.dfu/etc extensions!***
======
Your folder should look like this :
- iboot.payload <-- Created with Payload Pwner.
- devtree.40 <-- Grabbed from Custom IPSW made by sn0wbreeze.
- ibec.40 <-- Created with Payload Pwner.
- bspatch.exe <-- Comes with iBooty.
- iBooty.exe <-- Comes with iBooty.
- kernel.40 <-- Grab from Custom IPSW made by sn0wbreeze.
- sn0w.img3 <-- Comes with iBooty.
- wait.img3 <-- Comes with iBooty.
======
-------
STEP D: Restoring to 4.0 + Booting
-------
*MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON 3.1.2 WHEN DOING THIS*
I : Run iBooty and Select "Prepare Device for Custom Firmware". Run the Process and if you see the image, you can proceed!
II : Now open iTunes and restore to the custom ipsw.
***WHEN DONE, YOUR DEVICE WILL GO INTO RECOVERY MODE. IT WONT BOOT.***
-------
STEP E : Booting
I : Just Re-Run iBooty and select "Boot It". If all goes well it will boot!
Update: VERY IMPORTANT Now iH8sn0w has posted instructions and successfully working for Jailbreaking iPod Touch 3G and 2G (MC Model), also iPhone 3GS (New Bootrom), check the guide posted here.
iH8sn0w has just updated his tool to Sn0wbreeze V1.6 so he give the ability to Jailbreak iPod touch 3G / 2G (MC Model) (Update: better to wait for iH8sn0w) and iPhone 3GS New Bootrom, This new version only works for people who got are on 3.1.2 or got their 3.1.2 SHSH Blobs on Cydia Server.
iPod Touch 3G and 2G (MC Model) Owners will be happy today because iH8sn0w will update his popular tool Sn0wbreeze to support iPod Touch 3G and 2G (MC Model) on iOS 4 but Unfortunately this is for who already on 3.1.2 or saved 3.1.2 SHSH on Cydia Server.
Adding iPod Touch 3 Support to sn0wbreeze update. iPod Touch 3 users that are on 3.1.2 or have 3.1.2 shsh blobs will be happy! =)The update will Include Jailbreak for iPhone 3GS New Bootrom but also for who saved 3.1.2 SHSH Blobs on Cydia (Guide for Advanced users posted here), here's a quick screenshot from iH8sn0w showing 3GS New bootrom avaliable in the update:
Great news for iPod Touch 3G and iPod Touch 2G MC Model owners, iH8sn0w has Confirmed that he is working on iPod Touch 2G MC Models and then will work after that on iPod Touch 3G. According to some tweets it seems very near..
I'll start working on iPod Touch 2G MC models now. Then iPod Touch 3.
@iH8sn0w Does it works with a iPod touch 2G MC-Model?
@thechampdrei soon
@iH8Sn0w do you need shsh blobs for an ipod touch mc models to jailbreak it when the jailbreak is ready? Or is that only for the iphone?
@Aalalex ipt3 yes. Ipt2g 8gb mc no.
@iH8sn0w is that going to be tethered to?
@Nkapoor124 yes...
