Sn0wbreeze 1.6 has been released. This is by the same developer who is behind other popular iPhone jailbreak tools such as sn0wbreeze for iPhone 3.1.3, f0recast and BlackBreeze. Just like the PwnageTool for Mac, Sn0wbreeze 1.6 can jailbreak iPhone 3GS (old bootrom, and already pwned on 3.1.2 with anything other than Spirit), iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G (non MC model).

So if you have a Windows machine, you can use Sn0wbreeze 1.6 to create custom firmware files without the upgraded baseband. Again, just like the PwnageTool 4.0 / 4.01, only the following devices are supported.
- iPhone 3G/3GS (old bootrom/already jailbroken with anything other than Spirit)
- iPod Touch 2G (non MC model)
Instructions are as follows.
Step 1: Download and install the latest version of iTunes.
Step 2: Now start iTunes and sync your iPhone with your PC so that it backs-up all your important data including settings, apps, music, contacts and photos.
Step 3: Download Sn0wbreeze and the original iOS 4 firmware file for your version of iPhone or iPod touch (download links given below). Move all these files to your desktop.
Step 4: Start Sn0wbreeze and select “Simple Mode”.

Step 5: Sn0wbreeze will now ask you to browse for your .ipsw file. Select the correct iOS 4 firmware .ipsw file by clicking the “Browse” button. Sn0wbreeze will verify the selected file and then will present you with following screen.

Step 6: Click on "Yes" when Sn0wbreeze asks you “Do you want to activate your iPhone?” for hacktivation. Click on “No” only if you are on an officially supported carrier like AT&T.

Step 7: Sn0wbreeze will now create the custom .ipsw file for your iPhone which will be jailbroken.


Step 8: Now you will have to restore your iPhone to this custom firmware 4.0 that you just cooked using Sn0wbreeze for your iPhone. Click on your phone from the sidebar in iTunes and then press and hold left “Shift” button on the keyboard and then click on “Restore” (Not “Update” or “Check for Update”) button in the iTunes and then release the “Shift” button.
This will make iTunes prompt you to select the location for your custom firmware 4.0. Select that custom .ipsw file and click on “Open”.
Step 9: Now sit back and enjoy as iTunes does the rest for you. This will involve a series of automated steps. Be patient at this stage and don’t do anything silly. Just wait while iTunes installs the new iOS 4 on your iPhone. Your iPhone screen at this point will be showing a progress bar indicating installation progress. After the installation is done, iPhone will restart automatically and you should now have a fully jailbroken iPhone running on iOS 4.
How to: Unlock iPhone on iOS 4.0 (Any Baseband):
Follow the complete step by step guide posted here to unlock iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G, on iOS 4, on any baseband using Ultrasn0w 0.93.
Step 10: Once you are done with the unlocking and jailbreak process. You can now restore all your settings, apps, music, contacts and photos to the newly installed iOS 4 by restoring the backup that you made in Step 2 from iTunes.
Feel free to ask me any question here should you run into any problem during the jailbreak process.
Download iTunes 9.2 for Windows and Mac OS X
Download iOS 4 for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G and iPod touch
Download .NET Framework 3.5 (required to run Sn0wbreeze)

Case 2:
You have non jb iphone. use DFU mode.

Make sure the file extension is ipsw and not a zip

Hi guys,
I have an Iphone 3G, simlocked on Orange (official supported carrier). Monday I updated to from 3.1.3 (original firmware, not jb) to iOS 4.0, when it was released by Apple.
So now I have an Iphone with iOS 4, baseband 5.13.04.
Using sn0wbreeze 1.6.1 I cooked a new .ipsw (sn0wbreeze_iPhone 3G.ipsw – 300.3 Mb) from the original iPhone1,2_4.0_8A293_Restore.ipsw (292 Mb) – “sent” by Steve almighty.
I've put my iphone in DFU mode, itunes has started, telling me that my iphone needs to be restored in order to be updated, selected from iTunes 9.2 the cooked .ipsw (300.3 Mb file) aaaaand, surprise: error 1600.
I've moved out all files from “c:UsersUSERAppDataRoamingApple ComputeriTunesiPhone Software Updates” and retried.
Nothing. Same error.
've put the cooked .ipsw in the location mention above – alone (i thought iTunes might “look” for files inside that archive).
Nothing. Same error.
Should I start the restore without having the iPhone 3G in DFU mode ? is it safe?
(#)
I did it but my iphone is not activated it needs the original sim isnt this supposed to activate (3gs old boot room 3.1.2 blackrained)
(#)
I am using iPhone which is already JB and os 3.1.2
Typ: 3GS
Model: MC131
Firmware: 3.1.2
Baseband: 05.11.07
Bootloader: 6.4
Bootrom: 636.66
like I said – the iPhone is already jailbreaked with blackra1n. Is it possible to use the sn0wbreeze 1.6.1 version to upgrade to ios 4.0?
(#)
Thank you for your times. Can you clearify? I have iphone 3gs updated to i0s4 and before it got stuck at the emergency call. Do u know any program can save it?

If you backed up your SHSH's via CYDIA and saurik's server, you'll need to follow the directions for downgrading to 3.1.2.
Make sure to select 3.1.3 as the firmware you want to Shift-Restore to.
Also, make sure to download the latest libusb installer (14.3 or something), as otherwise, it won't work with iTunes.
Also, downgrade your iTunes to 9.1.1. Download from filehippo, select 9.1.1 as the desired version.
Redownload Spirit. I know this sounds unnecessary, but I had to do it.
Just to note, I did this whole process about an hour ago. Got a 3GS (New bootrom) downgraded from 4.0 to 3.1.3 jailbroken.
(#)
I have 3gs (old bootrom) on 4.0 but never jailbreaked. I will downgrade to 3.1.2. then jailbreak with sn0wbreeze and finally follow this tutorial.
I will post the results…
(#)
wow works fine! on my iPhone 3gs old bootrom cheers!
(#)
i have a 3gs and i think it has the old-bootrom i jb tru blackrain first, but then i restored to 3.1.3 on itunes and then i jb again but with spirit this time, is their anyway to downgrade to 3.1.2 so i can jb tru blackrain again and be able to use this?
(#)
I got an error 2 in recovery mode and a error 1600 in DFU mode… Now my phone is stuck in recovery… time to go back to 3.1.2 and blackra1n.
(#)
HOWTO:
1. downgrade to 3.1.2 (official, not pwned, CLEAN!)
2. blackra1n it (even if error 1015)
3. make custom firmware with sn0wbreeze 1.6.1 or pwn 4
4. enter recovery mode
5. restore to custom firmware
6. install ultrasn0w unlock 0.93 to use any carrier.
enjoy

I have a crashed Iphone 3GS (Old Bootrom) 3.1.2 5.11.07 unlocked by Blackra1n and currently stuck on the apple logo reboot loop. I tried restoring to 3.1.3 using an IPSW cooked by Snowbreeze 1.5 but got the 1600 error and the phone is now stuck in restore mode. Will snowbreeze 1.6 work with in this case.
(#)
I have a non-MC 3Gs running 3.1.3 jailbroken with Spirit and just unlocked it today with ultrasn0w. (It was previously running 3.1.2, JB with Blackra1n with 3.1.3 shsh currently on file with saurik) Can somebody explain why I can use Sn0wbreeze to install 4.0 now since I upped to 3.1.3 and used Spirit? I'm not sure why they say old bootrom on 3.1.2 and “already pwned with anything OTHER than Spirit”??
(#)
Just a quick update it worked a treat on my 3G 8GB running ios4 and put in a uk T-Mobile sim and it found the network.When I replaced back to my O2 I got a “No Service” BUT a quick reboot sorted that out.
Tip,Make sure when you cjange sim to do a reboot.

I just bypassed this error after I restored to 3.1.2 (3.1.2 on saurick server) then you get error 1015. U done u stuck on recovery mode use isnowbreeze to get out of recovery loop, then jailbreak with blackra1n, and finally restore with the clocked ios4.0

Hey All!
Looking for some quick help. I currently have an 32gb iPhone 3Gs (old boot rom).
I was forced to update my phone to 3.1.3 after my phone decided to get stuck with the endless start up boot problem. I was left without a jailbreak for a couple days until i noticed spirit. I jailbroke my iphone with spirit, but it is the old bootrom, so im wondering if i can still upgrade and jailbreak iOS4.
I currently have 3.1.3 jailbroke with Spirit and Unlocked With Snow.
(#)
how about for the new bootrom? come on guys!!!
(#)
Does this work if you're already on OS4 but your phone, with old bootrom, had been jailbroken with Blackrain before the update? Or does that mean it's too late to jailbreak?
(#)
im on 3GS 3.1.3 spriit JB. if i restore to factory 4.0 then use snowbreeze will it work?
(#)
Hey, i ran f0recast and it said i could jailbreak my 3gs 3.1.3 old bootrom if i had the shsh files, which i do. I jailbroke with spirit though after i had to restore. Do I have to downgrade?
(#)
I am trying to upgrade a 3GS currently on 3.1.2 jailbroken with Blackra1n. I've created the cooked ipsw with no issues, however when trying to restore from it, it fails with unknown error(2). I've tried the standard apple troubleshooting with no luck. I can sucessfully restore to any stock firmware (3.1.2 or lower) I desire, but the custom 4.0 fails with this error. I dare not try a stock 4.0 at this time
Any ideas?
(#)
My iphone is on air right now.I had 3gs with newbootrom 5.12.01 3.1.3;Initially was 3.1.2 but in march i accidentally upgraded.This version of jailbreak doesen't worked and i decided to go to a servece gsm.That guys had unlocked my phone with a universal simcard,and installed cydia.My advice is to go on service gsm.

Can't get past step 5. Where do i get the get the ipsw file??? can't find it.

i got the same error 1604 ,please help me out thanks so much
(#)
Worked for me thanks!
If you have a 3GS what you can do is when you are trying to install the custom firmware, instead of going into DFU mode, just continue holding down power and the home button until your phone has the RECOVERY MODE wallpaper, then iTunes will say it detected your phone in recovery mode, click ok, shift click restore, choose the custom firmware, and it will work. I was getting
unknown error 1600 everytime I tried to fix it and saw someone else's post on here and tried it and worked!

Hey I have an iPhone 3gs spirit jailbroken 3.1.3 and for some reason the file I sent to cydia when I had 3.1.2 is gone and they wont allow me to downgrade… So will this work if I restore my iPhone to ios 4.0 official and then restore again with the custom .ipsw file made using snowbreeze?

i am getting error 2 when i am trying to restore .. please help

keep getting a message “iphone restore error (2)”
3gs 16gb 3.1.2 old bootrom/already jailbroken with PwnageTool
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(#)
wth….my wifi doesn't work any more….everything else is fine…can anybody tell me what went wrong…
(#)
Devil: It does work. I got error 1600 at first myself..I noticed that I only got it if I attempt to restore from recovery mode (restarting and holding home button etc). What worked for me was that I just click the restore button in itunes (I restored to 3.1.2 at this point) and to my surprise it went through.
My problem now is youtube. It's not working.
(#)
Forgive my ignorance, but what if its a 3gs(old bootrom) with iOS4 that hasnt been jailbroken before? Wont this work? =]
(#)
Will it upgrade my baseband automatically ? I am afraid of updating my baseband.
Please let me know.
Thanks
(#)
I got message error 1600 because I have new bootrom and followed directions, now my phone won't even turn on or go to recovery mode. what can i do?
(#)
so if i used Spirit to JB my 3gs MB model, on 3.1.3, never jailbroken on 3.1.2, would I be able to JB with this with the custom cooked firmware? Or should I wait for Geohot to rls his “all iphone hack”? I'm in no rush, as it doesn't add many NECESSARY features

How about 3GS new bootrom?
I really want to update my 3GS 3.1.3 new bootrom to Ios4.0 but I need to jailbreak and unlock it.
Please release one more option for 3GS 3.1.3 new bootrom.
(#)
Howdy, 3GS Users with OLD BOOT ROM! – Disable CUSTOM BOOT LOGO in SNoWBREEZE and then RE RESTORE. this will fix the never ending recovery loop.
Kudos to some other forum i pinched it from.
(#)
Dont put your IP under DFU mode when restoring the iOS4.0 custom firmware. It will generate the 1600 error. it worked perfectly for me
(#)
I have done what the guide says but I have a feeling I had to do something before, because itunes wont restore my custom ipsw(it DOES restore the un-modified one with no problem), it keeps 1603ing me
I am pretty new to this so I dont know about “having an older version jailbroken”, anyone cares to enlighten me about what I should do(e.g get an older version firmware, jailbreak with that then update?) or point me at a complete newbie guide?
Thanks in advance! xx!
(#)
error 1600, WHY DOES NO ONE HAVE A FIX FOR THIS?
(#)
i have an iphone 3g 3.1.3 currently jailbroken with spirit will this work out for me?
(#)
what happens if you already installed 4.0 in your 3GS can you still use the custom firmware?
(#)
When i go to restore in itunes i hold shift and click on restore, it then brings up a msg asking “restore and update” or “cancel”, it does not give me an option to restore without update, if i select restore and update i do not get to choose the OS firmware it just does a normal itunes restore.What am i doing wrong???
(#)
NOTICE said If your Iphone 3g(s) has an updated bootrom. Then you cannot use sn0wbreeze.??????????????????? PLS HELP mee………………………..

I have 3gs with ios4 factory unlocked, so i guess i have the new bootrom, can i downgrade to the old one ?
(#)
Ok, This was my problem and solution.
I am not going to provide support of any kind to this.. Just letting people know what happened.
My Phone:
3GS
iBoot version 359.3 (that's the old one)
(had) JB'n 3.1.2 done with Blackra1n
Had SHSH saved
In my rush to try and JB with iOS4, I accidentally upgraded it using the STOCK iOS4 ipsw
When downgrading, I have a 2nd machine (laptop) still with Itunes 9.2 (not sure if this matters). Changed the HOSTS file as you would for a normal downgrade. Started the downgrade. (standard DFU mode + 'Shift' and STOCK 3.1.2 ispw)
Looked like it was going will, went through various phases unpacking/installing/verifying etc.
Near the end of the process, got a 1600 error. Phone booted to restore mode (pic with itunes and usb)
LEFT PHONE AS IS – didn't remove cable or swap modes or anything
Ran Blackra1n. It worked.
Started process outlined in the above story. Worked like a charm
**IMPORTANT**
Sn0wbreeze creates a file named 'sn0wbreeze_iPhone 3GS.ispw' it was on my desktop, not the folder Sn0wbreeze was stored in.. (that's what got me in the first place) hope this helps some people.

Got a 1604 error, on 3gs with Vista, which is usb timming and would not go further. made new account profile and tried again but by mistake installed original os4 (and not the cooked one) and it worked. tried the cooked one again and it did not, got 1604 again. now i am stuck with al 3gs on os 4 which is not jail broken.

It works well to me
please make sure that ur iphone 3gs is right under indicated conditions

Yeah… im having error (2) also… (from 3.1.3; 3Gs old Bootrom; Blackra1n &blacksnow)

The above guide is wrong. You should not update to iTunes 9.2. Stick with 9.0 if you want this to work, otherwise you will get a 1604 error when updating.
(#)
how do you enable multitasking?

When I go to restore the device from the custom iOS4 it gives me the error 1600. I followed the directions exactly and my iPhone 3G is 3.1.3 with the 05.12.01 baseband.

This may help some people having signal issues after jailbreak. I have a previously JB & unlocked 3GS, old bootrom, firmware 04.26.08. Sn0wbreeze jailbreak worked, had a 4.0 with Cydia but NO SIGNAL. BTW I am on a supported AT&T network and need the unlock for traveling. Turned the WIFI on, ran ultrasn0w unlocked through Cydia… All fixed! Now running a JB, unlocked 4.0. Sn0wbreeze works, just follow the instructions and just in case have your WIFI ready.

I have a 3GS, 3.1.2 FW, old bootrom, baseband 5.11.07 and was on the verge of upgrading to iOS 4 since there's now this jailbreak.

i've download everything and have done this before with older jailbreaks but my ipod was originally running on 2g but has been updated since so the problem is when i downloaded the 3.1 to 4.0 firmware snowbreeze wont jailbreak it ? it says it is not a valid ipsw ? why?
(#)
this doesnt work for me. I have os 4 and itunes 9.2 (maybe thats the problem) but whenever I load the modified ipsw file it puts my phone into restore mode and doesnt come out of it. I have to manually terminate itunes and then re start itunes and restore to factory settings.
is annoying me now as i've been trying for a good few hours!!

Thanks! I have successfully jailbroken and unlocked my iPhone 3GS which was on 3.1.2. Many people think that if they are on OS4.0 already they can use th steps given above.
I am on windows vista.
You need to be on 3.1.2 and should be jailbroken by any which way other than Spirit.
I was on 3.1.2 jailbroken by blackra1n. I accidentally upgraded to 4.0 and my baseband was permanently upgraded to 05.13.04. I have a non-MC model and luckily I had my keys cached with Saurik's server.
After accidentally upgrading, I first tried to restore using the cooked 4.0 IPSW based on the steps above. Did not work.
I then had to go ahead and downgrade back to 3.1.2 using the technique described here: http://www.redmondpie.com/downgrade-ios-4-iphon…Thank you for this great post.

Is this work for iPhone 4

i did every step as described and everytime i try and restore a error message keeps popping up can anyone help plz
(#)
You have to restore the phone via Itunes but using the firmware that sn0wbreeze put on you desktop. Thats why you have to hold the shit , so itunes will let you choose the firmware, otherwise you will install the original firmware from apple. Read step 8 carefully and you will understand.

I installed the spirit2pwn from cydia, then upgrade my 3Gs 3.13 to 4.0 ~

im getting error 1604 when restoring… help?
(#)
I followed the process to generate the new cooked iphone software for 4.0. When i ran the restore using the new software the restore ended with an error.
ITunes displays the following :
“iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.”
My understanding is that the phone will be installed to the latest version of iTunes but not using the cooked iPhone software. I am concerned that it will be impossible to install the cooked software after this process.
Any advice?

Hey im not a genius but i've got the same problem. if ur on windows like me i would suggest getting(downloading) ur ipsw from itunes but not installing it. then use either redsn0w or Sn0wbreeze (i perfer) to make ur custom firmware. then i think u gotta restore it in itunes holding shift.

(#)
Jailbreak only allows you to download apps free of charge really and some other stuff which im not to sure about but unlocking it allows you to use any sim there is a diffrence between jailbreaking and unlocking but if you get it unlocked you cannot switch your phone off ever otherwise it will reset to factory settings, no way round this.
(#)
Thx. Worked like a charm!
(#)
IF YOU GET 1604 ERROR THAT MEANS YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE
(#)
any way to jailbreak version 4 on 3gs
(#)
Error fail 1604 = Apple not allowing the older version of ISPW, also when you download the file make sure its named .ispw NOT .zip etc…
(#)
WHY DOES IT SAY 3GS THEN?????
(#)
i get a 1600 :-[
(#)
Then why in the hell do they say that it works for 3GS, when it really doesn't?
(#)
dont unpack the zip file…. Rename the ending *.zip to ipsw then it will work…

I have an iphone 3G that I accidentally updated to 4.0.1. I tried to jailbreak this with redsnow, but it wouldn't regognize the ipsw. Then itunes tells me the firmware is not compatible when I try to downgrade to 4.0
If I try the custom firmware (pwnagetool 4.01), I just get errors 1600 and 1604. I tried advice on how to fix these errors, but nothing works.
HELP PLEASE!!

[iPhone 3GS, Old Bootrom, from 3.1.3 Jailbroken]
Okay. Plug the USB cable into your computer. Duh.
With the iPhone not currently plugged in, turn it off.
Now, hold the Home button down, and plug the USB cable into your iPhone, while still holding Home down. Eventually you will see the iTunes logo/USB Cable image on your iPhone screen.
You can let go of the Home button.
Now…your iPhone is in RESTORE MODE, and you should be able to update.
(If you were holding HOME and SLEEP, then letting go of SLEEP…I believe you were putting it into DFU mode…which was giving ME error 1600, but when I did it THE ABOVE WAY…it worked fine for me. SO…give that shit a TRY MUH FUCKA!
