Jailbreaking my old Iphone 3GS 4.1 (05.14.02) was finally successful.

Tool used: http://www.greenpois0n.com/

First tries under Windows did not do it.
Try under Linux and it's ok. (sudo!)

1. Download greenpois0n here: http://www.greenpois0n.com/
2. To run the tool under 64bit linux, it could be a little tricky.
   you may need some 32bit libs. I suggest using getlibs to install the libraries you need in 32bit versions. This is the command:
   sudo getlibs /path/to/greenpois0n_x86
3. Start your Iphone in DFU-Mode:
   1. Turn off the phone

UPDATE:
Iphone 3GS OS4, Ubuntu 10.4:
Same procedure (install blueman)
New:
- After successful installing blueman the blueman-symbol appears in the system-panel
- Rightclick the symbol and go to "Plugins"
- Make sure, the plugin "NMPANSupport" is enabled
- Ignore possible conflicts

to load videos on your iphone or ipod, the video must have the right format.

since video-converting under linux is not that trivial, mvPod is a gread solution to bypass this especially for iphone and ipod.

installation is easy, follow the guide.

after converting the vid, you can load your movies and videos on your portable apple device.

yee, my iphone's here.

to register it, itunes is needed. didn't get it quickly to work with wine, so i tried with vmware xp.
installing itunes in my guest xp was no problem. but plugging my iphone and enabeling it in vmware resulted in a fancy bluescreen. yay!

searching the web gave me the solution:
