iPhone 3G 4.0 Jailbreak Redsn0w 0.9.5 BETA

The first 4.0 beta 1 Jailbreak has now been released, but unfortunately it’s not for the average user. This beta release of Redsn0w targeted at developers of jailbroken apps. This release of Redsn0w 9.5 beta is only for Mac and will only jailbreak the iPhone 3G on the 4.0 beta 1 firmware. This does not activate your device. I really can’t stress this enough, DO NOT UPDATE THE THE 4.0 FIRMWARE. I know download links for 4.0 has been released but this is only for registered developers. If your iPhone isn’t connected to a paid iPhone developer account you will not be able to activate your iPhone/iPod. It’s really not worth upgrading right now anyways. If you have already updated a guide will be posted soon on how to downgrade. Now lets get on with this jailbreak guide…

Download Redsnow 9.5 beta: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QN28T0XE

1. Make sure you’ve already activated your iPhone3G with iTunes and your developer UDID
2. Launch the beta redsn0w 0.9.5
3. Select your stock iPhone1,2_4.0_8A230m_Restore.ipsw file (you’ve already used this to update your iPhone3G to 4.0beta1)
4. Select “Install Cydia” and click “Next”. Use DFU mode to install the jailbreak.
5. When your iPhone3G comes back up, you’ll notice Cydia has a blank white icon (we told you many things were broken right now!) You’ll also notice Cydia has no sources. Go to the Sources panel and add this repo: http://apt.saurik.com/cydia-3.7 (be sure you have a carrier or wifi signal first!). When Cydia restarts, you should see its real logo now, and the standard sources should be ready to use.

If you have any problems with this leave some comments below or in the forum and you guys can work together to help each other out. Stay tuned for the official jailbreaks!
