iPhone: Jailbreaking the new 3.1.3 firmware

Not really complicated to explain this but want to stress I worked on this for many hours intent on breaking Apple's new attempt at stopping us from jailbreaking our iPhones and because I resent Apple in general. This was done on a iPhone 3G and any of you that try this on any iPhone you are doing at your own risk and choosing and I take no responsibility for any negative results or hair pulling!

***This will only jailbreak the iPhone and does not unlock it! That you will have to wait for a new hack to do and the others online claiming a different way are full of it. Blackra1n can't, all other Sn0w's can't, QuickPWN can't.



1) Download redsn0w 0.9.2   http://wikee.iphwn.org/howto:rs9
2) Download firmware 3.1.2   http://www.quickpwn....load-links.html
3) Run redsn0w and follow prompts, make sure you do exactly
***Cydia will already be checked in list but you can also check verbose boot if you want to see it boot with all of the data on the screen

Update: redsn0w 0.9.4 http://www.blogsdna....-3-firmware.htm

***Using Vista or Windows 7 I highly suggest putting the redsn0w.exe into Windows Xp SP2 compatibility mode by right clicking it and choose properties/ compatibility and then check the box and already should say XP SP2. Then run redsn0w.exe as admin (right click "run as admin")

The real trick here is that having an iPhone with 3.1.3 installed you basically trick redsn0w into thinking you have 3.1.2 by choosing it when asked as if that is your current firmware but is really 3.1.3. It will verify the firmware you downloaded (in download location, find) which is 3.1.2 and then proceed to putting iPhone into DFU mode which is similar to restore mode so do exactly (it counts as you hold the buttons, if you accidentally put into restore mode it will screw this up) then BAM it starts to install the jailbreak info. Redsn0w will then say the rest will happen on your iPhone. Do not touch iPhone until complete

Once complete you will now have Cydia and allow that to update itself and then reinstall your app's.

Then using your middle finger aim it at Apple HQ!

I tried every possible way and this is the only program or way that will work to my knowledge. If you try a different way you will end up with an iPhone in permanent restore mode until you restore back to default 3.1.3 and do as Apple tells you to do. Also after installing 3.1.3 it wont allow you to downgrade your firmware as well as I have learned. Something to do with signatures of firmware to intentionally keep you from jailbreaking which I just proved you can BUT I will never be able to downgrade to my knowledge. I tried many times to restore to 3.1.2 and you get an error each time just when it looks like it's working and almost finished. You can thank Apple for this. It's not bad enough you pay a lot for the phone but Apple still thinks they own it. Lol..

How to Use VPN with iPhone 3G

Using VPN with iPhone 3G

Use PPTP under settings/ general/ network/ VPN/ "add VPN Configuration"/ PPTP/..

Description.. server location
Server.. IP of server
Account.. your username
RSA SecurID.. OFF
Password.. your PPTP password
Encryption Level.. Auto
Send All Traffic.. ON
Proxy.. OFF

To get server list and your unique PPTP password go to the VPN Control Panel and click on "PPTP servers" on the left.
The main things you need is username (same as using installed client), unique PPTP password and server IP's you wish to set up.



If you want to use the iPhone's 3G data for your computer you need to jailbreak and install PdaNet from Cydia. I believe it's still $29 one time fee but works very well. Then install the "desktop client" here..

http://www.junefabrics.com/iphone/index.php

You get a trial with PdaNet and you may find another app that does similar but what I use and works nicely. Best to use USB mode because it charges while you use the data. Then connect to VPN on iPhone.


If you want to jailbreak the iPhone..

How to setup GMail SMTP on iOS

This tutorial explains how you can setup your iOS device (iPad/iPhone) to use multiple SMTP servers from GMail. This is especially useful if you have trouble sending emails while connected to the VPN. 1. Tap the settings icon You will then get into the iOS settings menu, like you can see on this screenshot ->

How to setup HMA Pro VPN with Windows 8?

In case you're experiencing any issues regarding the installation and start of the HMA! Pro VPN client
on Windows 8, please make sure that you're using the latest version (currently v2.7.1.7): HMA-Pro-VPN-2.7.1.7-install.exe
Any compatibility warnings you can just ignore and proceed with installation/start.

Should you - for some reason - want or have to use older versions and experience issues, please try the below things:

• Create a manual PPTP connection as explained here -> Tutorial: Create manual PPTP connection on Windows
• Name this connection "HMAVPN"
• Now, go to the properties of the TAP adapter in your network control panel. Rightclick it, select "Properties".
• Click "Configure". Go to the "Advanced" tab, select "Media Status". Set it to "Always Connected".

• Now please try to start the HMA client again.
• In case the HMA client was unable to install the TAP adapter at all, try installing the OpenVPN client,
  which should install the TAP adapter, so the HMA client can use it as well.

• On some systems it can occur that the VPN connects but is not being used by the system.
  The status of the TAP adapter shows unusual high amount of transferred data.
  This is caused be the fact that the TAP adapter was not installed with the local admin account (which is disabled by default)
  The fix for this is to enable the local administrator account, login to it, then reinstall the HMA client or the OpenVPN GUI.
  Login to your usual account again and disable the local admin account. Restart the computer. Problem should now be fixed :)

• If PPTP does not work, this can be caused by the fact that the "Telephony" service is disabled.
  Start "services.msc", then start the "Telephony" service and set it to automatic start. Now reinstall the HMA client.

Of course you can also use our alternative connection methods and clients, listed in the article Ways to connect
E.g. the PPTP/L2TP dialer or the OpenVPN client. They work fine with Windows 8.
