Following these directions will result in a jailbroken iPhone 3G[s]. The iPhone must be running 3.0 firmware. I recommend backing up your iPhone with iTunes before we start, just in case something goes awry.
First, you need to download these 2 files:
(All downloads require login)
Redsn0w 0.8 for Mac OS X: Redsn0w 0.8 iPhone 3G[s] (Mac OS X) (240)
iPhone 3G[s] 3.0 firmware: iPhone 3G[s] 3.0 Restore Firmware .ipsw (660)
Once you have saved these files to your desktop for easy access, we will begin the jailbreak process.

With RedSn0w 0.7.1 iPod Touch 1g and 2g users can jailbreak 3.0 firmware on Windows. Before following this guide please restore your iPod Touch to 3.0 firmware. To get the 3.0 firmware you have to connect to iTunes, check for updates, and buy it for about $10. Yes Apple is screwing you. Positive side is that if you have both a 1g and a 2g you get to download firmware for both for $10.
You will need RedSn0w 0.7.1 which you can download right here Redsn0w for Windows (4377) (Download requires login) along with the 3.0 firmware file for your device. Since you already bought and downloaded the firmware in order to upgrade to 3.0 you can find it on your computer
iPod2,1_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw is the iPod Touch 2g 3.0 firmware file.
iPod1,1_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw is the iPod Touch 1g 3.0 firmware file.
On XP they are located in
C:\Documents and Settings\ YOUR USER NAME \Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates\
On Vista the are located in

Lets begin. Extract redsn0w-win_0.7.1.zip to a location on your computer and run redsn0w.exe.
Click Browse.
Find your firmware file, select it, and click Open.
RedSn0w will tell you that the ISPW has been successfully identified. Click Next.
You’ll see a pop up as RedSn0w does some stuff.
Select to Install Cydia and click Next.
Now you should plug in your iPod Touch and turn it off. Once you are done click Next.
RedSn0w gives you instructions. We are entering DFU mode now. First hold the power button for 3 seconds.
Keep holding the power button and start holding the home button for 10 seconds.
Release the power button but continue holding the home button for 30 seconds.
RedSn0w does its thing. Let it.
Finally RedSn0w has finished loading everything onto your iPod Touch. You will see a pretty screen on your iPod as it is being jailbroken. Don’t mess with your iPod while all this is going on. After your iPod restarts you are done!
I did not have an iPod Touch to perform the jailbreak, so I give all credit for this tutorial to Modmyi.com.

To begin, you will need to download the following: (all downloads require login)
Save these to your desktop for easy access.
1. Make sure you have updated your device officially to OS 3.0 through iTunes.
2. Make sure your iPhone is off. Do this by holding the power button (top of phone) then slide to power off.
3. Connect your iPhone via USB.
4. Start Redsn0w.exe
5. Browse for your firmware that you downloaded. (Make sure you have the correct firmware for your device) Then click next.
6. If you want to unlock your OG iPhone then check both Cydia and Unlock. If you do not need to Unlock then only have Cydia checked and proceed to step 7.
6 a. If you are unlocking your iPhone then you need to browse for the 3.9 and 4.6 Bootloaders that you should have downloaded and saved. Then click next.
7. Redsn0w will ask you to make sure your iPhone is powered off but you should have done that already. If you didn’t follow the directions to do it now.
8. Once your iPhone is off, be prepared for step 8 because it starts quickly, then click next.
9. This is where you will put your iPhone into DFU mode. Follow the instructions in order to achieve this.
10. If you correctly put your iPhone into DFU mode you will see that Redsn0w will begin the jailbreak process. Let it do it’s thing, which should take about 5 minutes. (Redsn0w crashed the first time I tried to jailbreak and left me with the “Running PwnApple” on my phone. Don’t worry, just power off your phone again and start the process from the beginning. It worked perfectly the 2nd time for me.)
Redsn0w gives you instructions through the entire process so you should not have any problems as long as you follow everything exactly. If you have any problems please leave a comment so we can help.
