iPhone 3GS New BR. Any PwnageTool IPSW or Sn0wBreeze IPSW I try to restore to gives me error 1600/1601. The only Custom IPSWs that work are RedSn0w ones. I am using Sn0wBreeze for the capability to restore to a pre-jailbroken IPSW and use bootlogos. I use What causes RedSn0w to work but PwnageTool and Sn0wbreeze not? Is there a fix? Thanks! |

This is done in the wrong order. This is the correct order:

commented May 28, 2017
Ok sorry about that. A guy on Reddit said you have to install the exploit first.. He's clearly wrong then. I'll try it again and get back to you. |
commented May 29, 2017
Now I'm getting error 21. I'm trying to restore to 5.1.1, 6.1.3, or 4.3.3 and they all give me error 21. |
commented May 29, 2017
Is your device in pwned DFU Mode? |
commented May 29, 2017
Yeah. I'll try again, |
commented May 29, 2017
Did you create a 24Kpwn IPSW (i.e. for old bootrom 3GS)? When using redsn0w you must choose: |
commented May 30, 2017
Yep. I chose no. Also I am using sn0wbreeze, is that ok? I'll try again with the restore. |
commented May 30, 2017
Ok. Tried Sn0wbreeze Old Br 6.1.3 IPSW and after it said preparing phone for restore it sent my 3GS into recovery mode and failed with error 21. That would be why I'm getting error 21, as error 21 occurs when you try to restore to an IPSW like this in recovery mode, but I don't know how I can fix this. Latest version of iTunes. |
commented May 30, 2017
Try a redsn0w 24Kpwn IPSW, 4.3.3, 5.0, 5.0.1, 5.1, or 5.1.1. |
commented May 30, 2017
Any RedSn0w IPSW works. No sn0wbreeze works, and a Pwnagetool IPSW I tried for iOS 3.1.3 didn't work either. |

Are you getting Error 28 with iOS 3.1.3? Instead of ipwndfu, try using iREB for Mac (https://ih8sn0w.com/) to enter pwned DFU Mode before restoring a sn0wbreeze IPSW. iREB might to be required for sn0wbreeze IPSWs, I did not look into it closer. Also, don't run iREB in a virtual machine or it won't work. |
commented May 30, 2017
Don't have a Mac.. |
commented May 30, 2017
Is it possible to make a bootable USB with Mac on it to use iReb? Or can I download iReb using windows? |
commented May 30, 2017
Use it on Windows. It's included in the menu in sn0wbreeze. Are you getting Error 28 with iOS 3.1.3? |
commented May 30, 2017
I do. I know that it means the hardware isn't compatible. Good news is that I saw the restore screen with the loading bar on the phone, meaning the issue is just Sn0wBreeze. I'm putting iReb on my other PC on windows XP now, as my current PC is on windows 10 and doesn't have the right .NET framework. |
commented May 30, 2017
I'll try the Sn0wbreeze 6.1.3 old BR IPSW with ireb used to PWN DFU now, Kinski spricht werke der weltliteratur rarlab. |
commented May 30, 2017
What week and year was your device made in? You can find based on digits 3,4,5 of the serial number. |
commented May 30, 2017
Digits are 103 |
commented May 30, 2017
Interesting. Week 3, 2011. This is the earliest made iPhone 3GS I heard of which is incompatible with iOS 3. |
commented May 30, 2017
Just used iReb on my old PC, not a VM, and it said it worked. I tried to restore to a Sn0wBreeze Old BR 6.1.3 IPSW, but it still fails with error 21 and sends my device into recovery mode. This is pretty wierd. What are my options? |
commented May 30, 2017
Use sn0wbreeze to make a custom IPSW for older iOS versions and try those. |
commented May 31, 2017
Ok |
commented May 31, 2017
Tried twice again using iReb, this time restoring to iOS 4.3.3 old BR Sn0wBreeze IPSW. Both times the phone showed the Sn0wBreeze logo, and after 5 seconds or so the regular apple logo came up, stayed for a second, and put me back in recovery mode with an error 20 from iTunes. I'll try again with other Firmwares.. this is getting kinda frustrating.. |

iOS 4.0- No Sn0wBreeze Logo- straight to recovery mode and error 20. |
commented May 31, 2017
In my opinion, 6.0 is the most promising since I got it to the bar. I'll mess around with 6.0 and see if I can get that to work. |
commented Jun 1, 2017
Still no luck.. now the logo doesn't even come up for 6.0 |
commented Jun 1, 2017
Are you creating IPSWs with a custom boot logo? Try simply creating a jailbroken IPSW with default sn0wbreeze boot logos and see if that works. |
commented Jun 2, 2017
So I tried that and also increased the root partition to 2013 MB and that made it work. Now I'm going to try to restore to a NOR-only IPSW with bootlogos and see what happens. |
commented Jun 4, 2017
I remember reading that ipwndfu will eventually allow for boot logo changes and verbose boot.. is this still happening? |
commented Jun 4, 2017
I might add that feature in the future, but there is no ETA. Does a NOR-only IPSW with custom bootlogos from sn0wbreeze work for you? |
commented Jun 5, 2017
No, but I used the old Sn0wBreeze for iOS 3, so I'd figure it would make an iOS 3 NOR-only IPSW, which my device is not compatible with. Don't remember if I got error 28 or something else though. I'll try again hen I get home. What other tools can I use to make a NOR-only IPSW? |
commented Jun 5, 2017
I don't know. |

Please: no sharing of IPSW links. It is a bad idea for security reasons (It is trivial to add malware to an IPSW) and it is not legal. Only get IPSWs from Apple. |
Few days back iH8sn0w released Sn0wbreeze 2.9.7 for Windows to jailbreak (tethered) iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 4g.
So if you’re a Windows user and having trouble jailbreaking your iOS device on iOS 6.0.1 or iOS 6.0 using Redns0w 0.9.15 beta, then check out the step-by-step instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 4 using Sn0wbreeze.
Here are some important points to note before you proceed.
- This guide is meant for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 4 users.
- Sn0breeze 2.9.7 only supports a tethered jailbreak, which means that you need to connect your iPhone to the computer on every reboot (except iPhone 3GS with older bootrom). It is currently not possible to jailbreak iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPad 2, iPad 3 and iPod Touch 5G.
- Please note that jailbreaking your iOS device may void your warranty and hence proceed with caution and at your own risk.
- Since you need to restore your iOS device with the custom firmware created by Sn0wbreeze, it is extremely important that you take a backup your iOS device before you proceed. You can refer to this post for instructions on how to backup your iOS device using iCloud or this one to backup your iOS device using iTunes.
- Please ensure you are running latest version of iTunes i.e. iTunes 10.7 or later.
Step 1: Download Sn0wbreeze 2.9.7 from this link and save the application in a folder named “Sn0wbreeze” on your desktop.
Step 2: Download iOS 6.0.1 firmware file for your iOS device from the links mentioned below:
Step 3: Double click the Sn0wbreeze zip file and extract the application.Navigate to the Sn0wbreeze folder and launch the Sn0wbreeze application.
Windows 7 users should run the exe in Windows XP compatibility mode (right-click on the Sn0wbreeze exe and select Properties, then select the Compatibility tab and select Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP). Windows XP and Windows 7 users should run Sn0wbreeze as ‘Administrator’ (right-click on the Sn0wbreeze exe and select ‘Run as an Administrator’).
Step 4: Click on the blue arrow button.
Step 5: Then click on Browse for an IPSW button. Navigate and select the firmware file download in Step 2 and then click on the Open button.
Step 6: Sn0wbreeze will recognize the iOS firmware file and enable the blue arrow button. Click on the arrow to proceed.
Step 5: Now click on the Simple Mode button from the list of options.
Step 6: iPhone users will be prompted if they want to active their iPhone? Click on the Yes button to continue.
Step 7: Sn0wbreeze will now start creating the custom iOS firmware file. This can take around 5-7 minutes. Sn0wbreeze will inform you when it has successfully created the custom IPSW file. You will be able to find the IPSW file prefixed with “sn0wbreeze_” on the Desktop. Click on the Ok button to continue.
Step 8: You will now be prompted to put the iOS device in DFU mode. Turn off your device and put your iOS device in DFU mode by following the on-screen instructions:
(a) Prepare to press and hold the Power button on your iOS device.
(b) Now simultaneously hold the Home button and Power buttons for 10 seconds.
(c) Now release the Power button while keeping the Home button pressed until Snowbreeze detects your iOS device in DFU mode.
Step 9: It will run iREB and inform you when your device is in PWNED DFU state, which will allow you to restore your iOS device using the custom iOS firmware file created by Sn0wbreeze.
Step 10: Launch iTunes, it will inform you that your iOS device is in recovery mode. Click on the OK button.
Step 11: Select your iOS device from the left hand side bar under DEVICES. Then hold the Shift key on the keyboard and click on the Restore button under Summary tab.
Step 12: Navigate and select the IPSW file prefixed with “_sn0wbreeze” that was created in Step 7. iTunes will inform you that it will erase and restore your iOS device to iOS 6.0.1 and will verify the restore with Apple. Click on the Restore button if you’ve taken a backup of your iOS device.
Step 13: The restore process could take approximately 10-15 minutes. You should see the Sn0wbreeze icon on your iPod touch during the restore process indicating that the custom firmware is restoring.
Step 14: After it has restored successfully, you need to use iBooty to perform a tethered boot.
Step 15: Launch iBooty from the iBooty folder in the Snowbreeze folder. Click on the Select your iDevice dropdown and select your iOS device.
Step 16: You will now be prompted to put your iOS device in DFU mode. Turn off your device and click on the Start button to put your iOS device in DFU mode by following the on-screen instructions:
(a) Prepare to press and hold the Power button on your iOS device.
(b) Now simultaneously hold the Home button and Power buttons for 10 seconds.
(c) Now release the Power button while keeping the Home button pressed until iBooty detects your iOS device in DFU mode.
Step 17: iBooty will now perform a tethered boot and after it is successful, take you back to the lock screen. You can now setup your iOS device and restore from iCloud or iTunes.
