Jailbreaking is a process that allows iPhone and iPod Touch users to run unofficial code on their devices bypassing Apple’s official distribution mechanism, the App Store. Once jailbroken, iPhone users are able to download many applications previously unavailable through the App Store via unofficial installers such as Cydia and Icy. It’s estimated that 4 million (out of 40 million) iPods and iPhones are jailbroken. [1]
Jailbreaking is distinct from unlocking, which is the process by which a mobile device is made compatible with telephone networks it was not specifically licensed to be used with.
Here is step by step how to jailbreak iPhone with 3.0 Firmware using RednSn0w in Windows.
Step one
Make sure your iPhone’s firmware has been updated to 3.0 firmware. Read this post: How to Upgrade iPhone to 3.0 Firmware if you haven’t done so.
Step two
Download RedSn0w
Step three
Open RedSn0w
Step four
Once RedSn0w opens click the Browse button
Step Five
Select the firmware ipsw that you just download in step two then click Open
Step Six
Once the firmware has been verified click the Next button to continue.
Step Seven
Make sure Cydia is selected and click the Next button.
Step Eight
Please plug your iPhone into the computer and make sure its OFF then click the Next button
Step Nine
RedSn0w will now guide you through the steps to get into DFU mode.
Hold down both the Home button and the Power button for 10 seconds.
Release the Power button and continue holding the Home button until RedSn0w detects the device.
Step Ten
Your iPhone will now reboot
Step Eleven
RedSn0w will then begin uploading the new RAM Disk.
Step Twelve
Once this is complete you will be notified that RedSn0w is done. Click the Finish button.
When your iPhone finishes reboot (5 minutes or so). It will be jailbroken with Cydia on the SpringBoard.

September 28th, 2009 at 10:28 PMEven if you downgrade to 3.0 firmware, the baseband version will not changed. You need to wait dev-team to release new tool, or find a macintosh to jailbreak your iPhone.
