Earlier we covered the Windows version of Jailbreak of iPhone 3GS on iOS 4.0 New Bootrom of the same but thanks to the hackers, the Mac version is also available and hence we would like to share it with our readers. As we said earlier, this process involves a lot of steps and hence recommended for advance users. Moreover, you have to re jailbreak every time you start your iPhone once it has been turned off, either by user or because of battery going down. This is because its not a complete Jailbreak but a tethered jailbreak. You will need a iPhone 3GS (with new bootrom) on iOS 4, which has SHSH blobs saved for iPhone 3.1.2. You can find other requirements here in our previous post here.

STEP 10:
Place your device in dfu mode (power home for 10 seconds, release power keep holding home (blank screen and itunes asking to restore).
STEP 11:
Run the following in terminal:./irecovery -u ibss312.dfu; ./irecovery -r; sleep 10; ./irecovery -e exploitibss312; ./irecovery -u iBEC.40; ./irecovery -c go; sleep 10; ./irecovery -u sn0w.img3; ./irecovery -c “setpicture 0″; ./irecovery -c “bgcolor 1 1 1″;
STEP 12:
Restore your custom 4.0 ipsw
Booting your device:
Run the following in terminal (once in the 4.0_pwn directory):./irecovery -u ibss312.dfu; ./irecovery -r; sleep 10; ./irecovery -e exploitibss312; ./irecovery -u iBEC.40; ./irecovery -c go; sleep 10; ./irecovery -u sn0w.img3; ./irecovery -c “setpicture 0″; ./irecovery -c “bgcolor 1 1 1″; ./irecovery -u kcache.40; ./irecovery -c bootx;
iTunes will detect your device several times before it boots.
