A new tool [ RedPwn ] similar to QuickPwn was released to jailbreak OS 3.0 on Windows Only.

RedPwn has an upperhand over other jailbreaking tools as it allows you to jailbreak your device ( iPhones 2G and 3G and iPod Touch 1G and 2G ) as well as directly install software like SBSettings, WinterBoard, iFile, LogoMe, Safari DL Plugin and cycorder!!! It also has an option to Unlock the 3G which no other jailbreaking tool has ever had.

Also, its very simple to use.

Just make sure you have iTunes 8.2 installed and run RedPwn.

Download HERE.

Follow the onscreen instructions and in no time you’ll be officially jailbroken

NOTES:

• Make sure you have “See jailbreak Proccess” checked or you will run into problems.
• To get it in English, click the arrow beside the globe in the Left Bottom Corner By Status!

ScreenShot:

As we all know, the Dev-Team recently released their jailbreak and unlock for 3GS however just today, a recent Dev-Teammember who we know as Geohet has released his own unlock, since the Dev-Team called their jailbreak Redsn0w and their unlock Yellowsn0w, Geohet called his jailbreak purplera1n and his unlock purplesn0w.

In order to use purplra1n, first go to www.purplera1n.com and download your corresponding software, once downloaded, open the app and connect your iPhone 3GS then click “make it rain” your iPhone will start to jailbreak, once it has completed it will come to the home screen, WARNING: do not disconnect, sleep or turn your computer off until you see the home screen, you should see an app called freeze, open it and tap on “install Cydia” it will finally install Cydia, if it doesn’t reboot automatically, reboot your iPhone then you should get cydia, open cydia and add the repo: repo.geohet.com

Tap on the repo then download the file “com.geohet.purplesn0w” insert your SIM then reboot.

You are now unlocked!

Now you can lock your iPhone with an alphanumeric passcode (instead of normal 4digit code!). There is no jailbreaking needed in order to get this work. Thanks to iPhonedownloadblog for this trick!

Ok choose your passcode then follow me:

1. Download Profile here to your Computer
2. Attache the file in an email and send it to an account that you can get it on iPhone
3. With iPhone open the attached file
4. Tap install and follow the onscreen instructions

I found a patched version of iBluetooth 1.0.8 that works on iPhone OS 3.o. Note that this version is JUST for iPhone 2G & 3G. DONT TRY TO INSTALL IT ON IPOD 2G & IPHONE 3GS.

Instructions

• Download patched iBluetooth deb package here
• Put it into the following path
  • var/root
• Open MobileTerminal (install via cydia/icy)
• Type the following commands

  su root
  alpine
  dpkg -i iBluetooth3.0.deb

Stacks is now compatible with OS 3.0!

Stack v3 is a massive upgrade to Stack, and changes how it works considerably. Stack is now a full icon on SpringBoard, and you can drag it about as you wish, to reposition it.

This build Stack v3 is an alpha, so expect it to be buggy! You will see some drawing issues, like incorrect positioning and animations. Please do not install this if you’re not prepared for a buggy experience!

To rename a stack, press and hold the Stacks icon till you get the touch to rename bar!

Important Notes:

• Stack will add itself to the Dock if, and only if, there’s a free space in it. To show Stack, clear up at least one free space in your Dock, and reboot (or respring) your phone.
• This version of Stack is for iPhone OS 3.0.
• Stack v3 requires a command-line (SSH) based install. It can now be uninstalled via Cydia/Icy or using the command-line. -How To SSH?-
• You have to jailbreak your iPhone in order to get SSH access to it! -How To?-

Installation:

1. Download stack v3 here.
2. SSH and copy the stack_3_alpha_6c.deb file into /tmp in your iPhone or iPod Touch.
3. Use CTRL+T TO open up Terminal in WinSCP and in the enter command box,copy and paste*
   • dpkg -i /tmp/stack_3_alpha_6c.deb
4. Hit Enter.
5. Remove an icon from your dock and respring.

*Note that you can use MobileTerminal for executing above command in iPhone!

Stacks may be uninstalled using Cydia or Icy.

There is good news  for iPhone developers who don’t want to pay Apple for iPhone developer application! Now you can update your iPhone to OS 3.0 and start on device debugging!!

Big thanks to Alex for great and easy instructions!

Requirements

• A jailbroken iPhone or iPod Touch running OS 3.0 -How To?-
  • Works with Jailbroken iPhone 2G, 3G & 3GS, iPod Touch 1G & 2G!
• Hacked mobileinstallion (installd) -How To?-
• A signing identity -How To?-

The Process (iPhone OS 3.0)

Step 1 (This step will already be done if you followed our previous procedure, and you may not need to repeat it!)

1. Open your project and go to (menu) Project | Edit Project Settings.
2. In the list of properties, find “Code Signing Identity” | “Any iPhone OS Device” and click in the empty box.
3. Assuming there are no entries in the menu, click “Other” and type in the same name you used to generate the code signing certificate.

Step 2 (Special Step for OS 3.0)

1. Download The script file here to your desktop (rename it to script).
2. Open Terminal & type the following commands

cd ~/Desktop
chmod 777 script
./script

This will execute the script to patch the Xcode plugin. If it executed correctly, you should see something like this:

Note: You may notice that a number of the steps you remembered from last time are gone now. I believe the few-byte hack above takes care of all the steps. As far as I know, there’s no need to even modify your projects with that one Plist key, everything just works.

iPhone OS 3.0 offer 11 page for app icons but …

You can install UNLIMITED APPS! Only 180 show up as icons—but Spotlight can find and open all of them! (And yes, we tried. Stopped at 250!)
So, check off every single one of your 56,000 (maybe?!) apps and sync them over. Then, instead of swiping right through 11 pages only to find the excess unaccessible, swipe LEFT to go to the Spotlight Search screen (or just press the home button again to get there super quick).
Next, start typing the name of the app, hidden or otherwise, you want to access, and as soon as it appears in the results, tap it to launch.
