This is the second full night I've spent trying to jailbreak my iPhone 3GS. I asked a friend how he jailbroke his phone, and he said he used Greenpoison. I looked into them and by all accounts it should work on 4.2. When I run Greenpoison, it takes me through a big block of code and gets stuck cycling on one line. I have to restore my phone to factory settings. I give up for the night and get stress drunk.
Tonight I try RedSn0w, by all accounts more reputable. I download an IPSW and go to work, but when I upload my IPSW to RedSn0w, it says "not a valid IPSW". I hit the link just above this that takes me to the RedSn0w site with all the available IPSWs that RedSn0w would prefer you to use. I download the appropriate 3GS OS and I still get "not a valid IPSW". Really? ****ing really? You directed me to something that, on a base line doesn't work for your particular purposes and all you can do is throw your shoulders up and say "dunno what to tell you, buddy"? I digress. I get annoyed and as a last resort download an IPSW that's already jailbroken. When I restore my phone with it, it tells me that it can't be restored, gives me error 1600, then the finger.
At present, it's 4:41 AM, my phone is restoring AGAIN and my two weeks of sobriety is about to be ruined by this. i'm on the verge of tears. Somebody help me.
