Iphone 3gs Untethered Jailbreak? by n3rve(m): 10:29pm On Dec 25, 2010
Hey Guys,  I've had an iPhone 3GS 16GB white lying in box & I've just decided to start using it. It's currently jailbroken (tethered) and is running 3.1.2 (7D11), modem FW: 05.11.07. I was wondering if I could do an un[/b]tethered jailbreak now? This is one of the reasons why I've not been using and I'll really like to avoid the need to run limera1n every time the device is shut down. I was looking into this on iClarified and it looks like the untethered jailbreak will only work if an iPhone 3GS was made before or on week40 (2009). I've looked at the serial & it's 889[b]50[/b]Wxxxxx, I guess I'm out of luck for the time being -_-

My question is, what other options do I have? Are new jailbreak kits around the corner? It is safe to update to one of the newer firmwares? I downloaded these today:
[b]iPhone2_1_4.1_8B117_Restore.ipsw

iPhone2_1_4.2.1_8C148a_Restore.ipsw

Can I disable the baseband update and upgrade to one of those?

Secondly, I have quite a few apps on my iPhone now. Is it possible to make backup copies of these applications before messing around with the firmware. I'll really like it if I could preserve them somehow.

To make a backup of your iphone just plug it to your system and itunes will do the syncing and make the backup (I-devices backup once plugged in).
As for the untethered jail-break, have you tried RedSn0w??

You mean iTunes will backup apps purchased from the App Store right? I'm talking about Jailbreak Apps/Themes.

Tumabab walked me through this. I'll probably be restoring to 4.0.2 stock firmware later today since its baseband is unlockable. Thanks.
