How to: Jailbreak iOS 4 of iPhone 3GS New Bootrom [Mac]

I knew that iH8sn0w is not going to leave Mac users without Jailbreaking their iPhone 3GS new bootrom, this is guide done by a professional person in OpenPwn and credits is for iH8s0w who has posted today the guide to Jailbreak iPhone 3GS new bootrom on iOS 4 but was for windows, So if you are a Mac user hit the jump for the guide…

If you didn’t save SHSH before of 3.1.2 then Stay away from this guide and wait for a new jailbreak guide or tool.

Note: This guide is tethered Jailbreak which means that whenever you turn off your iPhone, you have to re-connect it to your computer to get it on again.

Here’s the guide as mentioned in OpenPwn forums:

xpwntool Firmware/dfu/iBSS.n88ap.RELEASE.dfu ibss.d -iv 41639d34547ae3dd7921bf3539dba529 -k 9121de4a038675d92e1a28683b2138b7a3bdb80994273d090398051c7f5af53c; bspatch ibss.d ../exploitibss312 ../ibss.patch; xpwntool Firmware/all_flash/all_flash.n88ap.production/iBoot.n88ap.RELEASE.img3 iboot.d -iv 127aa60e77da219961ee70707f44cbd4 -k c72ab4aae971f3a9ec356dfe555e4aef72d8e96c480698445ac236904e6a3443; bspatch iboot.d ../iboot.payload ../iboot.patch; cd ..; rm -rf 3.1.2

STEP 6:
Create a folder called 4.0_cust inside 4.0_pwn and enter it with terminal and copy your custom 4.0 ipsw here.

STEP 7:
Extract your custom ipsw (unzip *.zip)

STEP 8:
Run the following in terminal:

cp kernelcache.release.n88 ../kcache.40; cp Firmware/dfu/iBEC.n88ap.RELEASE.dfu ../iBEC.40; cd ..;

STEP 9:
Copy your signed iBSS from earlier into 4.0_pwn

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.
