    Help step by step idiots guide to jailbreak 32gb 3gs iphone

    as title, can anyone point me in the right direction? will i need a certain version of itunes?? i am stuck out at work but could dl it and put it onto my netbook if need be. i have no idea about any of this, so please - simple terms only! i have got a 32gb 3gs, unsure of software version as when i turn it on it just asks for a sim and itunes to 'register'

    cheers

    **EDIT** forget the iclarifed tutorial - ITS WRONG. this one is piss easy and works spot on for out-of-the-box 32gb 3GS with 3.0.2 software:-

    http://www.redmondpie.com/jailbreak-iphone-3.0.1-firmware-with-redsn0w/

    hope this helps if anyone else is stuck! just for anyones further information, it doesnt need an internet connection (other than to d/l the tools which are linked in the tutorial) and it doesnt need itunes. i didn't have a sim card in when i did it and all was fine. feel free to PM with any questions.

    check the sticky here ==> http://www.digital-forums.com/showthread.php?t=509831

    has all the pictures and step by step information... just download redsn0w from here instead as it's a later version and better for the 3gs for ya ==> http://www.digital-forums.com/showpo...&postcount=111

    If at first you dont succeed, try, try again - then stop... there's no point being an idiot about it!

    if you dont have an O2 sim anyway then redsn0w will activate for you... but you will need itunes on the pc where you run everything from... so if you can DL the files and get them to a pc with no internet then not a problem... but you will need itunes to restore the phone as part of the instructions, and it is needed for redsn0w as far as I know

    i just started looking into it all properly, i now know my mate has already activated it for me. i have d/l itunes and the ipsw (or summet like that ?) file for 3.0.1. my problem is now that when i run itunes on my netbook i can see the phone but when i click on it it says unable to connect to itunes and i cant get my netbook on the internet as i am offshore for another 2 weeks. the computer i am on now wont let me install anything it so i guess i am snookered until i get back onshore.. never mind! thanks for everyones help and replies, i will, no doubt, be back for more brain picking when i get back from work and give this a bash... cheers

    what do you mean when you say 'when I click on it it says unable to connect'? is that running redsn0w, or trying to restore in itunes?
