Jailbreak iOS 4.1 Beta 2 on iPhone 3G & iPod Touch 2G Using Redsn0w

iOS 4.1 Beta 2 was released last night and I think it fixed some bugs and solved the proximity sensor issue which was plaguing some iPhone 4 users since launch. MuscleNerd has tweeted that Redsn0w Beta 5 can be used to Jailbreak iOS 4.1 Beta 2 for both iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G, But Ultrasn0w will not work as iOS 4.1 Beta 2 Changes the Baseband and need to rewrite Ultrasn0w!

If you've updated to 4.1beta2 on iPhone3G or iPod2G(non-MC), you can use this redsn0w from June to jailbreak. Just point it at the 4.0 IPSW (the public one, not the developer GM one).
(Yes – point it at the 4.0 IPSW even though you're at 4.1beta2).
Don't do this if you need the ultrasn0w carrier unlock!!
Note 1: This won't hacktivate your iPhone3G – but for those with legit access to the 4.1beta2 this shouldn't matter. Please don't pirate Apple software
Note 2: If you're at 4.1beta2 you'll probably experience network problems after jailbreaking. Until a new version of redsn0w is released, you may need to rely on afc2 access (such as FunBox-like file browser programs) to manipulate your filesystem.
Note 3: This is recommended only for power users who can deal with the problems that will pop up as the JB apps fall further behind the beta firmwares.

The guide is simple and easy, Just follow the guide posted here to Jailbreak iOS 4 on iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G and Yes, point Redsn0w to the Original iOS 4 not iOS 4.1.

Download iOS 4.1 Beta 2
Download Redsn0w Beta 5
Download iTunes 9.2.1

Apple is Doing SHSH Blobs Check

The iPhone Dev Team has just posted that Apple started Doing "Soft" SHSH Blobs Check Starting from iOS 4, This means that like the 3GS and the iPhone 4, if iTunes can’t get your blobs (due to signing window being closed), the iTunes restore will error out.

Here's the post from Dev Team:

Those of you with jailbroken iPhone3G and ipt2G devices may now have noticed Cydia starting to save your SHSH blobs too, just like it does for iPhone3GS, ipt3G and later devices. That’s because starting with 4.0, Apple started putting a “soft” SHSH blob check in the firmware. The SHSH blob check is very real in the sense that if iTunes can’t get your blobs (because the Apple signing window has closed), the iTunes restore will error out. But it’s “soft” in the sense that those devices can always use redsn0w or PwnageTool to get past the error (the bootroms themselves for those devices don’t require blobs to be in the firmware files, unlike the newer bootroms).

So, Cydia is doing this to allow you to continue to use iTunes to restore to 4.x on iPhone3G and ipt2g outside of Apple’s signing window without needing to use redsn0w or PwnageTool to get around Apple’s annoying new restriction.

So Cydia Started to Save SHSH Blobs of older Devices as iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G as well, But we are lucky since the Check is "Soft", so it can be easily bypassed by using redsn0w or PwnageTool from the Dev Team.

Redsn0w 0.9.5 Jailbreak for iPhone is avaliable for Windows

Great news for Windows users, The iPhone Dev Team has just released Redsn0w 0.9.5 to support Windows, Now all Windows users can jailbreak their iPhone 3G/ iPod Touch 2G running on iOS 4 GM, it's the same as the last release of Redsn0w 0.9.5 which added multitasking and wallpapers, the only difference that the new version supports Windows.
Note: You should stay away from this release if you are on a carrier unlock as mentioned in the Dev Team official site.

The redsn0w beta has been updated for 4.0GM on iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G (non-MC version). Multitasking and homescreen wallpaper are turned on by default (Apple doesn’t normally allow this on these 2 devices). You can deselect these features if you choose.

A version for Windows is now provided.

Just like our other betas, this one intentionally doesn’t “hactivate” the iPhone. Please wait for Apple’s public release of 4.0 for that part of it.

YOU SHOULD STAY CLEAR OF THIS BETA SOFTWARE IF YOU RELY ON A CARRIER UNLOCK. That’s because the beta redsn0w works only if your device has already been upgraded to the stock 4.0beta1/beta4/GM IPSW from Apple, which contains a baseband update. If you installed that IPSW, you’ve already lost the carrier unlock until the next planned release of ultrasn0w and blacksn0w.

To Jailbreak your iPhone 3G/ iPod Touch 2G you can follow the Step by Step guide posted here as it's the same instructions as the previous release.
To Download Redsn0w 0.9.5 beta 5 which supports Windows just check the links below:

RedSn0w 0.9.5 Beta To Jailbreak iOS 4 for Legit iPhone 3G Activation Users

Today we told you about the msft.guy guy that has successfully jailbroken iOS 4 on iPhone 3GS by using PwangeTool bundles, But Now MuscleNerd has just confirmed that Redsn0w 0.9.5 Beta 4 can Jailbreak iOS 4 on the iPhone 3G for those with legit activations.

For those with legit iPhone3G activation on 4.0GM seed, redsn0w from 2 wks ago can JB your device.

Hey, Don't Forget that this jailbreak is for iOS 4. You will need to updgrade to iOS 4 and this will upgrade your baseband and you will lose your unlock! So, I advice to stay away if you use blacksn0w, yellowsn0w, or ultrasn0w.

I advice all users to stay away and wait for the Unlock Tool from MuscleNerd that promises to unlock iPhone 3GS working on iOS 4 and 3.1.3 OS, It's confirmed to be released at the end of this month after the iPhone 4G goes in sale.

Redsn0w 0.9.5 Beta has been Released to Jailbreak iPhone OS 4.0 Beta 4

iPhone Dev-Team has just Released the New Beta of the Redsn0w 0.9.5 to Jailbreak iPhone OS 4.0 Beta 4 and it supports iPhone 3G, Mac OSX, the iPhone OS 4.0 beta1-beta4 FW. But there is no Windows version of this beta redsn0w (since apps are developed on MacOSX) This beta release of redsn0w targeted at developers of jailbroken apps.

Here's some words from the iPhone Dev Team

This is a beta release of redsn0w targeted at developers of jailbroken apps. It uses the same pwnage2 DFU-mode exploit that we’ve been using since the 2.x days. Nothing new is revealed to Apple, and it’s not applicable to the iPad. Don’t go near it if you use yellowsn0w, ultrasn0w, or blacksn0w.

YOU SHOULD STAY CLEAR OF THIS BETA SOFTWARE IF YOU RELY ON A CARRIER UNLOCK. That’s because the beta redsn0w works only if your device has already been upgraded to the stock 4.0beta1/beta4 IPSW from Apple, which contains a baseband update. If you installed that IPSW, you’ve already lost the carrier unlock until the next planned release of ultrasn0w and blacksn0w.
