redsnow not working

Hello I am trying to Jailbreak my 3G 3.0 Iphone
Using Iclarified method.
When I get to do the redsnow it stops working at the uploading ramdisk part.
Pop up box says the program has stopped working; do you want to close the program or search the internet for a solution?
I have tried 0.7 & 0.8 both stop at the same bit.
Any suggestions
Thanks

same thing happened to me.

Don't tick the Install Icy box and try again. Just tick the Install Cydia box.

Re: redsnow not working

Please can you post which .ipsw file you are using (full name)

It should be iPhone1,2_3-2.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw

Be careful the 3GS .ipsw file does not work, this starts iPhone2,1.....

I had what sounds like exactly the same issue as you, and it was related to the .ipsw file.

Thanks

Steve

iPhone 3GS running 3.0.1 firmware

downloaded firmware 3.0/7A341

then patched it using the 0.8 version of redSnow

ran first time with no problems and still running 3.0.1 firmware

Re: redsnow not working

iPhone1,2_3-2.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw was the one i was using.
I think the problem was more at the redsnow end, It would freeze more or less at the install of ramdisk.
I found it got further when you hold for the full 30 seconds (which you need another clock because that one dissapears after 10 seconds) lol
But i have it working now.
Any good repositories to add?

Thanks
