Jailbreak Iphone 3GS 4.1 (05.14.02) - greenpois0n

Published by guldi on November 23rd, 2010 in remote, iphone, fun, (x)ubuntu

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

  1. Install some 32-bit libraries.
    (x)ubuntu
    sudo aptitude install ia32-libs lib32nss-mdns

    gentoo

    emerge ia32-libs lib32nss-mdns
  2. Download cisco_opt.tar.gz (find below) and unpack it to /opt. After that you should have a directory /opt/cisco.
    wget http://guldener.net/sites/default/files/cisco_opt.tar_.gz
    tar -xzf cisco_opt.tar_.gz
    sudo mv cisco/ /opt/cisco
  3. Now, in order to get the libraries needed, download firefox for 32bit:
    Download it from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html
