[Tutorial] How to Jailbreak to 3.0 - Windows

[Evostance]

This tutorial is written for Windows Vista & included the latest bugfix 0.7.2. If you updated with redsn0w 0.7 or 0.7.1 then you do not need to reupdate using 0.7.2.

Note: You must upgrade to 3.0 prior to running redsn0w

DO NOT PM ME ASKING FOR HELP AS I WILL NOT GIVE IT, MOST OF THE QUESTIONS I HAVE BEEN ASKED HAVE BEEN ANSWERED IN THIS THREAD

ALSO, DO NOT ASK ME FOR A DOWNLOAD OF FIRMWARE 3.0. THIS IS ILLEGAL! BUY IT FROM ITUNES


Step 1: Download redsn0w from http://rapidshare.com/files/24734388...-win_0.7.2.zip

Past Versions
0.7 - http://rapidshare.com/files/24657886...0w-win_0.7.zip
0.7.1 - http://rapidshare.com/files/24658846...-win_0.7.1.zip


Step 2: Extract the files and put them into a folder on your desktop called redsnow

Step 3: Locate your IPSW file for 3.0. It should be located at
C:\Users\*USERNAME8\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates

Step 4: Copy this file into the redsnow folder on your desktop

Step 5: Put your iPod into DFU mode and connect it to iTunes. To enter DFU mode, turn your ipod off and then hold the lock and home button for 10 seconds, then let go of the lock button while holding the home button. iTunes should say your ipod is in DFU mode an needs to restore, just ignore it and move on to step 6

Step 6: Drag the IPSW onto redsn0w.exe

Step 7: Let it do its thing

Step 8: Enjoy

Note: if it ever freezes or shuts down. Just unplug, reset (hold both buttons), and try again. (thanks the_dark_side_of_pod)

Note: If you get a black screen after redsn0w gets to the "Done" part, try running redsn0w in safe mode. (thanks to iJizz )
