Asshish - the most likely reason for your failure is the firmware version 3.0 you are pointing to is not the one for your model of iPhone.

There are three versions of this firmware. One for the original 2G handset, one for the 3G handset and one for the newest iPhone, the 3GS.

We recommend you get whichever file suits your handset type from Apple and point redsn0w at that and you'll see success.

Details of where to get the three different firmwares can be found in our 3.0.1 jailbreaking blog post here http://www.abouthere.co.uk/blog/iphone-3-0-1-jail...

First and foremost unless you got an absolute bargain, why would buy the phone overseas?

Secondly, if you bought it overseas and it wasn't unlocked out of the box, it will have come with an official sim card for the network it was tethered to. Why throw this away? Keep everything when you buy from abroad in case you might ever need it.

Thirdly, it can't be hard to buy a Pay as you go sim on the network for the country you got the iPhone from, eBay is an excellent source for such things.

Fourthly, the post is not useless to people who bought a foreign iPhone, it's just not suited to people who don't have all the necessary tools to hand. Given you've had such little success finding an answer to a way around your problem, it's probably because there is no current way around your problem because of the way Apple designed their iPhone.

Of course, if you do eventually find some engineered process by which to eradicate your problem. please post it to your own blog (which I see you have) to share such knowledge with the world, or at the very least post it to the many different places you feel have failed you with relevant information to your situation.

Thanks - saves me digging them out.

I\'ll get the original post updated to reflect the information.

Much appreciated.

redsn0w requires you to point at the 3.0 firmware file. Are you using the firmware file linked to in the blog post (i.e. downloaded it from the source we\'ve listed) or are you using one you already had?

I ask because it transpires that the version we\'ve got posted above (as a link) is for iPhone 3GS only. Am looking for the iPhone 3G (and original iPhone) firmware file.

Just in case you've not seen these elsewhere: We've also had reports from some people that if they've got a CD/DVD in their optical drive it's not worked (v weird) and we've also had people report that if they had any other USB devices connected it didn't work, so try removing all of them except for your iPhone and try again.

Hi, first of all, typing all in capital letters in considered to be shouting. We don't appreciate being shouted at when we offer our help to others for nothing.

Have you read the other comments in this site, in particular the ones above your one which suggest numerous things in addition to the original post: i.e. disconnect USB devices other than the iPhone, use compatibility mode, make sure there's no media in the optical drive.

This process is proven and tested, if it's not working for you, then it's most likely down to one of the factors mentioned or an issue with your PC.

Have you read through the comments and other articles on our site where it\'s suggested that if you are installing on either Vista or Windows 7 that you should use Windows compatibility mode.

Right click redsn0w.exe and select properties. You\'ll see on one of the tabs the compatibility mode. Set it to Windows XP Service Pack 2. You should now find the jail break works.
