Just like blackra1n, redsn0w and PwnageTool, Sn0wbreeze is yet another jailbreaking tool for iPhone and iPod touch which can be used to create custom .ipsw files. Just in case you didn’t find success with blackra1n or redsn0w tools, you can give Sn0wbreeze a try! Sn0wbreeze is fully compatible to work with Windows 7/Vista and XP machines. Use it at your own risk. Blackra1n and Redsn0w are still the recommended tools for jailbreaking iPhone and iPod touch. The current version of Snowbreeze supports iPhone 2G/3G/3GS (non MC) and iPod touch 1G and 2G (non MC). Do not try this if your iPhone 3GS is with updated Bootrom.


Step 1
Start iTunes and sync your iPhone with your PC so that it backs-up all your important data including settings, apps, music, contacts and photos.

Step 2
Download Sn0wbreeze and the original iPhone OS 3.1.2 for your version of iPhone. Move all these files to your desktop.
