It didn’t take long for the iPhone Dev Team to come up with a jailbreak solution for iPhone OS 3.1.3 which was recently released for iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS, iPod Touch 2G and 3G. redsn0w 0.9.4 jailbreaks and unlocks iPhone 2G, jailbreaks iPhone 3G, iPod Touch 1G and iPod Touch 2G ( non MC Models). If you have other models of the iPhone or iPod Touch, we suggest that you hold back from upgrading to firmware 3.1.3.

Here’s a step by step guide to jailbreaking iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G (don’t do it if you need to unlock it as well), iPod Touch 1G and iPod Touch 2G ( non MC models):

1. Download iTunes 9.0.3. This is the latest version of iTunes available so upgrade to it before starting to be sure you don’t run into any issues.
2. Download redsn0w 0.9.4 ( download link at the end of the post )
3. Download and install iPhone OS 3.1.3 on your iPhone or iPod Touch using iTunes.

Those of you who have updated to iPhone OS 3.0 (jailbroken) might have noticed that your jailbroken apps (Apps installed outside from App Store) have stopped working. Even if you have tried reinstalling them they wont work because these apps require a patched version of MobileInstallation file on your iPhone. Here’s what you have to do to patch the mobileinstallation file on your iPhone, although some have reported that the Mobileinstallation beta file works. I have personally used this method below and can confirm that it works.

I just came across this useful little feature for those of you who have
iPhones out there.

If you want to take a screen shot of your iPhone, press down the Home button
and then click the top button. The screen sort of flashes and then the shot is
stored in the Camera Roll in the Photos menu.

Nice!

iPhone Download Blog reader kper sent me a very good hack for iPhone 2G or 3G owners who would like to have the same video editing capabilities as the iPhone 3GS. Basically, this allows you to view the videos you record with Cycorder or VideoRecorder directly in your Camera Roll. Additionally, you can trim the videos, exactly like on an iPhone 3GS.

Needless to say that this hack is only available for jailbroken iPhones. In order to set this up, you’ll need a few applications available from Cydia: SSH, Terminal, SBSettings, and either Cycorder or VideoRecorder.

1. Download Video Toggle and unzip the file.

2. SSH the unzipped file to \private\var\tmp\

3. Enter Terminal as a Super User (type su – username: root – password: alpine) and type bash /private/var/tmp/VideoToggle/install (note there is a space between “bash” and “/”

4. Your iPhone should respring by itself. If it doesn’t, simply reboot your iphone.

You should now have a new toggle in SBSettings that allows you to edit videos recorded.

To try it out, either record a new video or go to your Camera Roll if you already recorded videos and you should see your videos there. Open a video and you should see the bar that lets you trim videos.

A few warnings:

• This is a hack. You do this at your own risks! Don’t come back yelling at me if you mess up your iPhone.
• This seems to be a little buggy. Again, perform this hack at your own risks!
• When you trim a video, you lose the original video
• When the toggle is on, you can’t take pictures anymore (switch it off to take pictures again)

I haven’t done this myself as I own an iPhone 3GS but kper has always been a good tipper so I trust him on this. Once again, you are doing this at your own risks!
