Jailbreak iOS 4 [Final] iPhone 3G/iPod Touch 2G with Redsn0w 0.9.5

Soon after the iOS 4 Final release iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G has been jailbroken successfully using Redsn0w 0.9.5-b2. Follow the simple guide below to jailbreak iPhone 3G/iPod Touch 2G running iOS 4 on Mac.

Pre-requisites:

An iPhone 3G or iPod Touch 2G running iOS 4.0 firmware
iTunes 9.2 installed on your Mac
Save iOS 4.0 GM on your desktop
Redsn0w for Mac

Steps to Jailbreak iOS 4 [Final] with Redsn0w 0.9.5

Step 1: Connect the iPod Touch / iPhone to your Mac using the USB cable.

Step 2: Run Redsn0w and click Browse. Select the Firmware 4.0 GM from the desktop of your computer and then click Next to continue.

Step 3: It will start an automatic process to patch the kernel.

Step 4: You will now have a new screen where you can select packages to install. Select Cydia and if we wanted to, also check to enable multitasking. You can also change the background to the springboard.

Step 5: You will be prompted to put the iPod Touch in DFU mode. To do so: Press the Home + Power for exactly 10 seconds then release the power button while continuing to press home only until a screen will appear all white. Another automated process will start to quickly run the jailbreak.

Step 6: When your iPhone3G comes back up, you’ll notice Cydia has a blank white icon. You’ll also notice Cydia has no sources.

Step 7: Go to the Sources panel and add this repo: http://apt.saurik.com/cydia-3.7. Make sure that you have a carrier or wifi signal.

Step 8: After Cydia restarts, its real logo now appears, and the standard sources should be ready to use.

Voila! You have successfully jailbroken iOS 4 on iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G.

iOS 4 is the world’s most advanced mobile operating system. And soon iPad owners will get to enjoy its 100+ new features and innovations — including multitasking, folders, printing, and more. Look for iOS 4.2 coming in November for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.

I Tried this on a 3G ipod touch 4.0.2 I know it's not supposed to work on that. But it seems to work until the very last stage, but it never reboots. Is this the reason why it's not working, or is there still a possibility of it working?

If you get the "Unable to recognize specified IPWS" error with the final version of iOS 4 you have just to download Redsn0w 0.9.5-3….not -2….with the -3 version u can add the final version of the OS..u dont need the GM

This DOES NOT work for any iPod Touch 2G MC model devices. Your device will become unresponsive and you will have to do a hard reset on it by holding the power and home buttons down simultaneously for about 10-15 seconds.

why does this say "Jailbreak iOS 4 [Final]" when the instructions say "Firmware 4.0 GM"what's the real difference between Final and Gold Master anyway?
- thomasw
  
  you have to point redsn0w to the gm version because it does not recognize the final version yet. the difference is that gm is for devs and has gamecenter and more bugs for programming. this works if you have the correct software.

  nothing really…..
