Redsn0w is yet another unlocking and jailbreaking solution for iPhone and iPod users. It can jailbreak and unlock OS versions 3.1.2 and 3.0. All iPhones and iPod touch are supported except the iPod touch 3G. For the late 3GS models and iPod Touch MC models, the process is still tethered. Here is a step by step guide to unlock and jailbreak iPhone 3.1.2 using redsn0w 0.9:
1. Download iPhone 3.1.2 firmware using direct download links posted here.
2. Download redsn0w 0.9 for Windows and MAC
3. Open up iTunes. It’ll detect your iPhone.
4. Press Shift and click restore. Browse for the ipsw file you downloaded in step 1. iTunes will restore the iPhone to 3.1.2. Let it do its work. It may take some time.
5. Open redsnow (redsn0w). Browse for the ipsw file you downloaded in step1. It’ll verify the file. Click next.
6. Check “Install Cydia”. Also check “Unlock” if you want to unlock your iPhone. Click Next.
7. Download 3.9 and 4.6 bootloaders from here and specify their locations. Click Next.
8. Switch off your iPhone and click next. It is very important to switch off your iPhone.
9. Redsnow (redsn0w) will now guide you to put your iPhone in DFU mode. Do exactly as shown
10. Once done, it’ll start the jailbraking process. Relax and let it do its work. Do not interrupt or attempt to turn off the device. The jailbreak will complete in few minutes.
Voila, You’ve just unlocked and jailbreaked iPhone 3.1.2 using redsn0w 0.9. Enjoy 🙂

I cannot get this to work. I've tried to jailbreak 6 times. I'm not getting anything but a factory restored phone. Cydia isn't installed and non of my apps are now installed. I can't find any help anywhere about this. Can someone else.. I had a 3.0 OS jailbroke phone. Tried to upgrade to 3.1.2 jailbreak and now it's not working
Same as above. NO Unlock to check.

hey redsnow 9.2 stops working and closes when it reaches to the part when it wants to jailbreak and unlock the iphone 2g i tired it many times and i followed the steps correct now my I need to be unlocked and jailbreaked what should i do and i also tired to download redsnow many times but no use plz help
excuse my ignorance but i have an already jailbroken 2g running 3.0 and want to be able to run the 3.1.3, do I still have to go thru all this just like i did to originally unlock/jailbreak it? TIA!
Yup.You have to do all this again. Just follow the above guide. I would suggest going to 3.1.2 as there is no real difference between 3.1.2 and 3.1.3.
ok cool, will I have to re-install all my jailbroken apps like cycorder, etc?
