After Blacksn0w, there is a new tool to Jailbreak and Unlock iPhone 3.1.2- Sn0wbreeze. Sn0wbreeze is a tool by iH8sn0w group. Sn0wBreeze works with iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS (non MC models only), iPod Touch and iPod Touch 3G (non MC models only). It works with Windows XP/ Vista/ Windows 7. Sn0wbreeze is a public beta and may not work properly.

Step 6: Browse for the ipsw file you’ve downloaded in step 4. It’ll verify the file. Click Next.

Step 7: Click Yes if you want to activate your iPhone. Only select No if you are on officially supported network like AT&T.
