DISCLAIMER: This post is purely for educational purposes only and is subject to faults or imperfections. TechPinas can NOT be held responsible for any damage that this jailbreak procedure may cause on your iPhone 3GS. I suggest that you read and consult other jailbreak procedures before proceeding. Also, keep in mind that jailbreaking any iDevice will void its Apple warranty and make it vulnerable to viruses and other attacks. If you're OK with these conditions, proceed with utter caution.

Jailbreak iPhone 3GS 4.1 using Snowbreeze 2.0.2 for Windows Procedure:

1. Check if your iPhone 3GS is supported with Sn0wbreeze V2.0.2 for Windows (NOTE that this procedure can not be done using a Mac.)

iPhone 3GS with New Bootrom (iBoot-359.3.2) must already be previously jailbroken on 3.1.2. On the other hand, iPhone 3GS with Old Bootrom (iBoot-359.3) must also be already jailbroken and if jailbroken using JailbreakMe or Spirit, install Spirit2Pwn first via repo.woowiz.net.

2. Download iTunes 10 via the link.
Download Snowbreeze 2.0.2 for Windows.
