    The complete guide after the break

    Tools you’ll need:

    The latest iTunes.

    iPhone 3GS iOS4.3.3 Firmware File. Click here.

    iPhone 4 iOS4.3.3 Firmware File. Click here.

    iPad iOS4.3.3 Firmware File. Click here

    iPod Touch 3G iOS4.3.3 Firmware File. Click here.

    iPod Touch 4G iOS4.3.3 Firmware File. Click here.

    TinyUmbrella. Click here.

    Recboot(Mac). Click here

    Recboot(Windows) – Requires Dotnet 4.0. Click here

     

    Step One

    Download the respective firmware file for your iDevice and place it on the desktop.

    Run TinyUmbrella and click on the “Start TSS Server” Button.

    NOTE – If you are downgrading to 4.3.5, skip the above step.

    Connect you iDevice to your PC and place it into DFU mode. To place your device into DFU mode:

    1.  Turn your device off.

    2. Hold the power button for Three seconds

    3. Without letting go of the power button,  press the home button. Keep them pressed for 10 seconds.

    4. Let go of the power button and hold the home button until your PC detects the phone. It takes upto 30 seconds.

    It may take several tries to get your phone into DFU mode.

    Step Two

    Open up iTunes. If you get the following message, then it means that you’ve successfully placed your device into DFU mode.

    On the iPhone menu in iTunes, hold shift and press the restore button.

    iTunes will now ask you to locate the IPSW file. Point it towards the firmware file which you downloaded and placed on the desktop.

    iTunes will then restore your iPhone with the  firmware. This process will take about ten minutes and iTunes will notify you once the process is complete. The phone will then restart.

    Step Three

    After the restore,  if you encounter an error like 1011, 1013, 1015 ; just ignore them (the firmware has actually been successfully installed). You just have to kick your phone out of recovery mode. To do this open up recboot-which you downloaded above. Once it loads up, press the exit recovery button and it will kick your phone out of recovery mode. The phone will then reboot and you will be booted into iOS 4.3.3.

    Update: If you are getting this error

  • How To: Jailbreak iPhone 3GS And iPhone 4 on iOS 4.3.3 Using Redsn0w (Windows)

    The following are instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone 3GS or 4 on iOS4.3.3 with Redsn0w on Windows.

    The complete guide after the break.

    Before updating your phone to 4.3.3, you need to keep in mind that an unlock is not yet available for the baseband on 4.3.3. To unlock a phone on 4.3.3 you will either have to update using a custom firmware which doesn’t update your baseband or you will have to update to the 06.15 iPad baseband if on the 3GS. While 06.15 may render the phone unlockable, updating to it comes with its fair share of problems such as:

    1. There is no way to come back down from 06.15, and there’s no hiding the baseband version from Apple. You’ll be voiding your warranty in a very obvious way.
    2. If some future baseband comes out with a critical fix, you won’t be able to update to it if it remains down in the 05.xx sequence (then again, you wouldn’t update to it if you wanted to keep your unlock anyway).
    3. Starting with FW 4.2.1 if you have 06.15 on your iPhone you won’t ever be able to restore to stock firmware (it will fail). You’ll need to only restore to custom IPSWs (then again, if you’re an unlocker you should already be doing that).
    4. There are reports that 06.15 may disable your GPS. The iPhone Dev-Team is currently working on a fix.

    Tools You’ll Need:

    iPhone 3GS 4.3.3 Official IPSW. Click Here.

    iPhone 4 4.3.3 Official IPSW, Click Here.

    Redsn0w 0.9.6rc16. Click Here.

     

    Step One

    Download the iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 official IPSW (Depending on your phone). Download and extract Redsn0w. For convenience, place all of them in a folder on the desktop, like so:

     

    Step Two

    Connect your iPhone to the computer and launch iTunes. When the phone shows up in iTunes select it from the list of devices on the left.  Now hold down Shift and press the restore button. You can also choose to update but restore is recommended; it’s always better to get a fresh start.

     

     

    Step Three

    As soon as you press Shift+Restore, a window will pop up asking you to select the IPSW file to be used. Point it towards the Official 4.3.3 IPSW you placed in the Jailbreak folder on the desktop.

     

    Step Four

    Once iTunes has successfully flashed your phone to the desired firmware, navigate to the Jailbreak folder on the desktop and launch Redsn0w.exe.

    **Windows 7 users may need to run RedSn0w in Vista compatibility mode. You can do this by right clicking the executable and selecting Properties from the contextual menu

    Once redsn0w opens, click the browse button.

     

    Step Five

    A windows will pop up asking you to select the Official IPSW file for your desired firmware. Point it towards the Official 4.3.3 IPSW you placed in the Jailbreak folder on the desktop.

     

     

    You will then be asked (if using a 3GS) if your device is a newer “fixed” model. If your’s is, then press the Yes button, click the No button otherwise. If you aren’t sure then simply press the Yes button.

     

     

    Step Six

    Once the firmware has been successfully identified click Next. Redsn0w will then prepare the jailbreak data.

     

     

    After the data has been prepared you will be shown a menu where you can select different jailbreak options. You may select specific options depending on your needs, but for now we will only select “Install Cydia”. Select that option and then hit next to continue.

     

    Step Seven

    Connect the iPhone to the PC and then proceed to switch it off. Once the phone is fully turned off click Next. Remember to hold the phone in your hand before you press next  as you will have to press various buttons on the phone to make it  enter DFU mode.

     

    Step Eight

    After pressing next, instructions to enter DFU mode will appear. To enter DFU mode, hold the power button for 3 seconds, then without letting go of the power button press the home button and power button together for 10 seconds after which let go of the power button and continue to hold the home button until your PC detects the phone. It may take several tries to get into DFU mode.

     

    Once the phone has entered DFU mode, the process will begin. The phone will reboot.

     

    When it’s completed it will show you this message. The phone will then reboot and the rest of the process will continue on your device.

     

     

    When your iPhone finishes rebooting (5 minutes or so) it will be jailbroken with Cydia on the SpringBoard. Your device will now be Jailbroken on 4.3.3.
