Jailbreak confusion 3.1.3(7E18), 05.12.01
Hi all.
I'm sorry if this is a very newbie-ish question, but I have to say I am completely overwhelmed with the amount of information on jailbreaking that is available out there. I am having a hard time sorting through what applies to me, and what doesn't.
My 3GS is running 3.1.3(7E18), firmware 05.12.01. It has never been jailbroken, and I bought it the first week that the 3GS's came out.
I do not have access to a Mac, so my solution has to be windows-based.
My goal is to have my phone running some version of 4.x, and be jailbroken and unlocked. I would like to be able to power-cycle the phone and not have to re-jailbreak (I think that's non-tethered, right?). I'm on AT&T but at some point soon I will sell the phone so I want it to be unlocked to broaden the potential market.
Can one of you experts help me out and tell me what steps I need to take to go from my version to a jailbroken 4.x version? What software do I need, and do I need to upgrade to 4.x first, or jailbreak then upgrade?
Thanks in advance for anyones help.
